...30/11/2013 Rhetorical Analysis of Advice to a Friend on Choosing Mistress Advice to a Friend on Choosing Mistress is a letter written by Benjamin Franklin in June 25th 1745 to his friend. The speech of this letter is essentially communicated to single men. The author gave advices particularly to his friend on which type of woman he should date if he is not ready to get married. Franklin preceded his lustful consulting by an apology for the marriage, recalling his friend how much carnal pleasures are favourable in a legal and recognized union. In his message, Franklin advises his friend that marriage is the best solution not for only sexual desires but also the undisputable source of solid happiness. Having suspicions that his friend would not follow his guidance, Franklin recommends him to choose older mistresses instead of younger ones and lists eight valuables reasons to better support his argument. Franklin commences his essay by presenting advantages of the marriage. He says ‘’ I know of no medicine fit to diminish the violent inclinations you mention…Marriage is the proper remedy. It is most natural state of man and therefore the state in which you can are most likely to find solid happiness’’. Through those sentences, Franklin seems to estimate that from a masculine’ view, one of the main advantages of the marriage is to bring pacification toward requirements of the flesh. The recipient of the letter who was the friend of the author seemed to be looking for a situation...

...Choosing the Right Pet for My Child ENG121 Composition I 6 August 2010 Choosing the Right Pet for My Child Choosing a pet can be a very challenging and difficult process. There are many things to consider before you can really choose the perfect pet. Pet type would be my first consideration. Other things to think about include how frequently the animal will have to visit the vet, whether there is a family member or friends that have pet allergies, and whether you want an animal that is a house pet, or if you want a pet that will stay in a cage or outside. Pet types to be considered are dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles and small animals like gerbils and hamsters. The most popular pet types are dogs and cats. In any case, choosing a pet should never be taken lightly. When considering a pet type, safety should be a major factor in that decision making process. A dog or a cat would be a perfect pet for my family. Either could easily fit my family’s life-style. Dogs have always been considered man’s best friend. Cats on the other hand are very playful; they are not demanding, they are affectionate and they can be your best friend too. Family interaction with a pet is very important.

...Being raised by an impoverished Hispanic family led to my parents desiring the very best for me. A preconception that friends were distractions and that education was the first priority was instilled within me from a very young age. At first, throughout my years in Meadowbrook Elementary and Seminole Middle school, I was able to keep up with all of my academics by myself. Soon, however, this concept of a free for all environment within a high school setting was, in hindsight, a disadvantage in the long run. By not creating those ever-lasting connections with other students from an early age, I entered high school as a lone wolf, which resulted in carrying all of my academics on my own shoulder compared to others who worked amongst each other to be more...

...Choosing between a Skilled Nursing Facility Or Home Health Care for your Elderly Loved Ones Kelly M. Skawienski University of Phoenix While a facility, like a nursing home, is a good option for extreme care of the elderly, most cases show that living in their own homes, surrounded by familiar people and things can promote better health and wellness. While working in the health care field I have worked in both fields; a Skilled Nursing Facility and Home Health Care. Some important points to consider in choosing which option is best for you or your loved one are the cost; how much is it going to cost for each of these two options, services provided; what help will you be receiving for your money, flexibility and freedom of accessibility; having friends and family visit and being able to travel, go for a walk, and last is the comfort of the client or patient would they do better in a sterile environment or in their own home. The cost of a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) as most already know can be expensive. The average cost is more than $50,000.00 a year and climbing, and it will vary widely depending on where you live (Long Term Care, 2012). Your employee health insurance does not pay for a SNF, so about one third of the residents pay from their own funds. This can eat away at their savings very quickly, most people run out of funds after six months. Five percent of people have purchased long term care insurance which will cover the cost of a SNF (Long...

...*First slide ppt* *All of us had friends, right? Best friends, close friends, barkada, tropa or whatever name we call our friends. Friendship is a certain bond between two or more people.

...Gestalt Laws of Perceptual Organization. This specific principle can be translated to convenience since whatever group that is being perceived is being formed on the basis that they are near one another. thus logically forming a group. A better explanation for this would be to use an example from a scientific observation from the 1950's at MIT. Researchers were studying friendship formation by asking 300 MIT students to list down their closest friends. Shockingly, the researchers quickly found out that The Law of Proximity applied to how people chose their friendships. During their research they noticed that if someone lived one door away, there was a 41% chance they were listed as a close friend. However, as the number of doors increased, the likelihood decreased such as those people living four doors away had only a 10% chance of being listed as a close friend. The same can be said for choosing a mate. If you have a girlfriend or boyfriend, chances are they are in your proximity sometime during the day. Besides being used in choosing friends or searching for a partner, The Law of Proximity is also used in the media and businesses. Symbols and various logos use the Law of Proximity to create...

...Dating: God’s Way Against the World’s Tiffany R. Jones Liberty University Abstract The subject of dating according to the way of the Lord is isn’t something that is often approached. However, it is very important that Christians apply biblical principals when approaching dating relationships. It is unfortunate that even believers have dismissed the way that the Lord intended for us to establish relationships. As a result, there are an increased number of couples that have become comfortable with dating and choosing to avoid marriage. Whether it’s a dating relationship or a simple friendship, the God should be the foundation. By making sure that things are done the way that the Lord directed, there will be many more healthy relationships in the world. As important as the topic is, dating isn’t one that is discussed in churches today, at least not in the ones that I have been a part of. Many ministries deal with single people and married couples, but seemingly the stage in between goes untouched, leaving those in this stage to fend for themselves. Although dating isn’t mentioned in the bible per say, I believe that there is distinct difference in the way that the secular world presents the dating and mating process and how God directs us to select our mates. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 (New International Version), “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness...
