One day, the Country Mouse invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The Town Mouse came, and they sat down to a dinner of barleycorns and roots, the latter of which had a clearly earthy taste. The food was not much to the taste of the guest, and soon he broke out with “My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I eat! My larder is full of whatever I desire. You must come and stay with me, and I promise you that you shall live on the fat of the land.” So when the Town Mouse returned home, he took the Country Mouse with him and showed him into a larder containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates.

DEvery time an election rolls around, people want to know what each candidates attitude is towards the issues that are important to them. In deciding which candidate I want to vote for, there are two main issues for me: the economy and education. These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now. The economy affects everyone, and education is important because I am about to enter college. When I looked at how each candidate views these issues, one man stood out to me, and that is Democratic candidate Barack Obama.I like all of Senator Obamas ideas for improving the economy. He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq, thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month. Another point that Obama makes is that the United States current energy policy is hurting the economy. He believes that if new energy bills are passed, it will help the US get out of its current economic slump, and I agree. With these ideas and strategies, I strongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy. Obama also has a plan to improve education. He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age. He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students, which means improving schools that need help. He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals, but in exchange he demands higher responsibility. Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable. He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a “B” average during high school. And he plans to give a $4,000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year. I believe these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students. Therefore, there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote: Barack Obama.73.

Why I vote for Obama EThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may fail at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we notice ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to cope with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.77. In the authors eyes, one who views personal
