AP Language: A Never-Ending Cycle
http://aplangks.blogspot.com/2009/03/never-ending-cycle.html
Monday, March 9, 2009. Just as the United States government has a system of checks and balances, society as a whole has its own similar system. It is this system which creates a cyclic pattern of morals and attitudes flowing throughout society. Extremes still exist throughout this cycle; extremes similar to the warnings from George Orwell and Aldous Huxley in their dystopian novels 1984. And Brave New World. 8230;people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World. Postman’s assertion that...

AP Language: This I Believe
http://aplangks.blogspot.com/2009/06/this-i-believe.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. I believe in a thing called procrastination. But there are nonbelievers who try to bring me over to The Other Side– they say if I came home and started my homework right away, I would have an hour or two before I go to bed to relax and enjoy myself. They say I would be less stressed and less miserable. They say I would get better grades and maybe even enjoy school more. They say I would get more sleep and feel better the next day. But I do come home and start my homework right away.

AP Language: January 2009
http://aplangks.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2009. As seniors in high school begin to look toward the future – college, jobs, independence – they also take a moment to look back. Four long years with the same group of peers provide many memories to reflect upon: field trips, junior prom, various sports competitions, and of course, gym class. Physical Education class exposes an entirely different person in some students - the competitors, the spirited, and the gym warriors. Why it is acceptable to go through an entire seven ho...
