Have you ever wondered about the similarities and differences between   America and Europe? There are actually some suprising similarities and difference between the two continents! The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast Europe and America. There are three main differences, lifestyle, culture, and food.

One of the biggest differences between the two places is lifestyle. Europeans have a very relaxed lifestyle. They also walk and bike more to short distances. Europeans spend more time reading or outside. Most Americans have a busy and sometimes stressed lifestyle. Americans also drive short distances instead of walking or biking. Americans spend a great deal of time watching t.v, playing on the computer, or spending time on their phone.

The cultures of the two continents have many differences and some similarities. One of the obvious cultural differences is the mesuring system. In Europe they follow the metric system. In America, they follow The U.S Customary System. School and education in the two continents are very different. For example, in Europe you don’t have to save thousands to dollars to go to college like you do in America. One of the few similarities between America and Europe is soccer. America and most European countries have professional soccer teams.

The last thing I will be talking about is food. Europeans eat more traditional plates from their city, reigon, or country. Europe doesn’t allow GMO’s in their food. A Europeans diet contains of fruits, vegtables, cheese, fish,and little bread. Americans eat all sorts of food from around the world. An average Americans diet contains of a lot of bread, dairy, junk food, meat, and maybe fruits and vegtables. One of the similarities is that Europe and America have a lot of the same fast food chains such as Mcdonalds and Burgerking.

In my opinion, it’s important to know the differences and the similarities between these two continents, especially if your traveling. For these two places, every similarity has a difference like in the topics I discussed. I think that both Europe and America are very good places to live.

What happens when your eleven years old and you act like your fifteen? You miss out on being a child! You have your whole life ahead of you to be an adult and only so much time to be a child. If you are a parent, you need to wake up and start parenting right!

First, we need to introduce some of the big causes of this problem. One of the biggest causes is the cover of a magazine. Since the biggest celebrities are on the cover, girls will think wearing bad clothing and weighing two pounds is cool and try to be like that. Next, school popularity. There are two types of popularity, one, being nice to people and playing sports, two, being mean and trying to impress guys. The mean ones are usually  popular and act older, and this puts an influence on alot of other girls thinking they have to be popular. Last but not least, being anxious to grow up. If they are anxious to grow up, they will try to be a grown up while they are still a kid.

Now we need to go over the two biggest problems, your peers and social media. You peers could tell you stuff you don’t want to know. They could also pick on you and spread rumors around about you. On social media, you can also find out stuff you didn’t want to know. Your peers could find your account and make a hate account and pick on everything about you.

We’re going to move on to solutions about you peers. First off, kill them with kindness. It will make them think you don’t care anymore and they will stop picking on you. Second, talk to the principle about this issue and suggest a school assembly or a talk with the kids that have been picking on your style. Lastly, spend some time with your family, it will help clear your mind and realize the reality of what the people are going to be.

Let’s move on to solutions about the social media part. First, you should block and report all the people that have been picking on you. Second, follow all the pages that have your interests, not bad pages that will change your whole attitude and style into something horrible. Three, think to yourself , is social media good? Is it for me? Is it worth it? If you said no to all or most of these questions, delete your account.

We have been through a lot in this essay. If you relate to anything in this essay, look over the solutions and take the advice to better yourself. Many girls in middle school through high school are precocious and insecure because of the causes of this problem. Thanks for reading this essay!

The Reign of Terror was known as one of the most horrific times in the French Revolution. It had started after the execution of Louis XVI.Public executions were considered educational. To me, this time period was basically a killing time.

First thing we have to talk about is The Jacobins. The Jacobins were a radical political group that gained a lot of power during this time. The leader of the Jacobins was Maximilien de Robespierre from 1792-1794. Maximilien Robespierre was also the leader of the Committee of Public Safety and was the most powerful man of France. In 1794, Robespierre called for a new purge but the Committee of Public Safety and the Jacobins had enough. He was the next victim of the guillotine.

Now we got to discuss the history of the guillotine. In 1789, Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin  asked the French government of they could invent a better method for execution. There was other beheading machines in other countries other than France before 1792. There was a guillotine toy that was really popular with the children.

If your intrested in the guillotine, here is some more facts for you. The total weight of the guillotine is 1278 lbs. The metal blade weighs 88 lbs. The height of the guillotine is 14ft. The blade takes 7/10 of a second to drop. The last guillotine execution was in 1976 in France.

Last thing, the fall of the terror. The Reign of Terror had ended after the execution of Maximilien Robespierre.During the 10 months, 300,000 people were suspects, 30,000 people were executed, and 10,000 people died in prison.

Isaac Newton was considered as a genius and is compared to people such as Plato and Aristotle. Isaac Newton was born January 4, 1643 in Woolsthrope , England. When Isaac was three years old, his mom got remarried to a minister leaving him to live with his grandmother. Newton enrolled at The Kings School, Grantham. At the age of 12, he got reunited with his mother after her second husband died. When Isaac was 16, his mom  pulled him out of school to attempt to make him a farmer. Newton said he had hated farming and it was a monotonous experience.

After finishing school in 1661, Newton went to Cambridge Univerisity. He was annoyed with the basic curriculum  he had to take. On his spare time, he would read books by Galileo, Rene Decorates, Euclid, and Johannes Kelper. In 1665, not long after he graduated, Cambridge University closed down for two years while a plague was spreading around Europe. Isaac went home, where he came up with calculus,  which he said was the ”fluxional method”. In 1668, Isaac Newton received his master degree and became a professor at Cambridge University. His lectures were said to be too difficult.

In the 1670s, Isaac had accomplished a lot of things such as, creating the color wheel, constructed a reflecting telescope which reflected an item more than 40 times. For this invention, he was honored by the Royal Society, where he was made a member in January, 1672. An article was published in February, 1672 about his theory of colors. Robert Hook had made a bad comment about Newtons theory in colors and Newton was furious. For the next few years Robert and Isaac were in a rivalry.

In 1687, Isaac Newton published his legendary peace of work, ”Phisolophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica” talking about the three laws of motion and the universal principle of gravity. One of Newtons rivals Gottfried Leibniz claimed he had invented calculus first but actually, Leibniz didn’t introduce calculus to the world until 1684 and wasn’t working on it until 1676 (almost ten years after Isaac Newton invented it).

Toward the end of his life, Newton lived in Cranbury Park with his niece. In March 1727, Isaac Newton had horrible abdominal pains and blacked out. On March 20, 1727, Isaac Newton had died.

Thomas Jefferson was born April 13, 1743 in Shadwell, Virginia. Thomas was raised by his two lovely parents, Jane Randolph Jefferson and Peter Jefferson. Jefferson was third out of ten siblings.

Thomas Jefferson started school when he was nine years old, studying Latin and Greek at a private school ran by Reverend William Douglass. His interests were playing in the woods, playing the violin and piano, and practicing his reading. At the age of 14, Jefferson started studying classical languages, mathematics, and literature. His first memory was being handed to a slave on a horseback and carried fifty miles away to his home.

In 1768,Thomas Jefferson started constructing his Monticello house up on the hilltop.Thomas Jefferson was one of the earliest and most passionate supporters of the American Independence. In 1774, Jefferson wrote his first major political work ” A Summary View of the Rights of Brittish America.” After authoring The Decloration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson returned back to Virginia, where he served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates for three years. In 1803 Jefferson did the Lousiana Purchase to be able to expand to country westward.

While growing up, Thomas Jefferson had became interested in Fransis Fauquier and George Whyth and looked at them as his inspirations. Jefferson has strived to become president after losing to John Adams (second president) in the second election. In the third presidential election in 1800, John Adams had ran for president again, but Jefferson beat him.

In 1806, after the Lousiana Purchase, Thomas Jefferson needed the most unknown territory of the continent to be explored and mapped. Thats when Jefferson hired Lewis and Clark to explore the other side of the country. After the successful Lousiana Purchase,  Thomas Jefferson wanted to take Florida away from Spain and add in to America. Jefferson tried something called the two million dollar bill project believing that he could get Florida from Napolian (emperor of Spain at that time) by bribing him with two million dollars. Napolian rejected the money, but in 1819 Florida became a state.

In his later years, Jefferson began pursuing educational intrests and had founded the building of the University of Virginia. In 1825, his health started to decrease which had lead him to many sicknesses. A year later, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Decloration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson was struggling to survive. He had died ten minutes till one o’clock one July 4.

” Mom! Dad! where’s my two hundred thousand dollar lunch?!!! I can’t find it anywhere!!! I need my watercress!!!!” Jason shouted.

His mom came into his room. ” Jason, from now on you will have a regular lunch.”remarked Mrs. Walsh

”You’re poor!!!! I bet my future will be one million times better! Now I’m leaving for school, I’ve had enough!!!!!!”

When Jason got to school, he continued to whine to his friends that he had a bad lunch because he was saving money to be the world’s richest person ever. At school, Jason teased all of the kids in his class that they were so poor that they would be living in a smelly ugly basement one day.

Later that day when Jason got home, he went into his closet to put his shoes away.

” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jason screamed like a little girl. There is a portal eiiva in my closet!”

The portal eiiva started breathing hard on Jason. It wanted to suck him in its portal mouth. Jason was clambering up the glass shelf, but then a fragment of the shelf broke! He didn’t anything to grasp on to. So then he plopped onto the floor out of the portal.

When Jason was let out of the portal, he didn’t have bearings of were he was.

”Who would live in here!?” exclaimed Jason. He was bewildered.

”Boom!” ”Thump!” ”Crash!”

Jason was terrified. Down the stairs came a very tall, hairy, fat human.

”Hi, me!!!” he screamed.

Jason started freaking out.” I hope this is a dream, I couldn’t be that humongous hairy blob!!!” he thought .

”Don’t be scared. It’s just me, Jason L.”answered the fat, hairy man.

”You are the older me, aren’t you?! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!”Jason screamed, like the world was going to end.

Jason just wanted to die.

”JASON LEE WALSH!!!!!!!!!!! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” shouted his mother. ”FINE MOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!” yelled Jason.

So both Jasons walked upstairs. Mrs. Walsh was sad.  ”Who’s this? ”asked Mrs.Walsh. She was depressed ever since Mr.Walsh got stranded in the ocean and no one knew.

” Whose this?” asked Mrs.Walsh.

” Mom this is me.” sighed Jason.

”Jason Lee Walsh, what type of shenanigans are you pulling this time?!”questioned Mrs. Walsh.

The conversation dwelled on.

”Ok, little one, you can get my Jason L. get back on his feet.”said Mrs.Walsh.

So both Jasons went to the volcano of death to win Jason L.s bravery back.Jason L. almost fell in the volcano. Next they went to 24/7 fitness ; Jason L. fell off the treadmill.The last thing they did that day was to teach Jason L. to learn how to swim again; Jason L . almost drowned in the three feet zone.When they got back home, Mrs. Walsh told Jason L.         that his cousin Judd was coming in to town. Jason thought that this would be a excellent opportunity to get Jason L. back on his feet.

Cousin Judd came on a schoarching day. Jason told Judd about getting Jason L. back on his feet. All three of them went to the volcano of death. Jason L. got close to the lava without touching for twenty minutes. Next they went to 24/7 fitness. Jason L. got back in shape. Finally, they went swimming. Jason L. swam two miles in the twenty feet zone. Judd must have gave him the courage to do these things. When they were walking home, a random guy gave Jason L.  $100,000,000

”Well that was random.” said Jason.

Jason bought a house and lots more stuff. The portal monster came. Jason walked in and went back twenty years.

” Maybe that was to show me that life is not perfect” remarked Jason.

”Well now lesson learned” said Jason.
