Letter
Dear Future Entrepreneur,
How has life been treating you? Well,
I hope, as you do deserve the very finest that life
has to offer. We have been corresponding regularly now,
and you have become quite important to me, as I hope
I have become to you.
My own life, personally, has never been
better, as I have been enjoying the “fruits of
my own labor” with my own business. Each day is
more wondrous and astounding than the day before, and
I never thought this would be possible. For years I
was literally “lost” within my own life,
just barely “scratching by”, tired, irritable,
and frustrated more and more each day. Didn't really
think this would ever change.
Then I stumbled, quite by accident, on
the XXX Program. This program literally “changed
my life for the better”. It gave me hope again,
and a reason for getting up in the morning. I now meet
each day with renewed energy and confidence, something
that I hadn’t done in YEARS!
XXX was incredibly easy to start, and
incredibly easy to maintain. It takes very little time
out of my day, and practically “sells itself”.
With XXX, I now have the freedom I’ve always craved
for my hobbies and my family, as well as the financial
freedom I’ve always dreamed would someday be mine!
This can be true for you, too, my friend.
The XXX Program helps you start earning money IMMEDIATELY,
if you so wish, while at the same time, builds a RESIDUAL
INCOME for the future.
If you could save the amount of $12,000
USD per year, what would that be worth to you? Certainly
at least a few moments of your time? That’s really
all I’m suggesting that you do. Contact me now,
while there are still openings in the XXX Program, and
just find out how easy it is to SAVE MONEY WHILE MAKING
MONEY using XXX!
There is a 100% SATISFACTION MONEY- BACK
GUARANTEE, and you also have my very own PERSONAL GUARANTEE!
I will be here whenever you want, to answer all your
questions, and show you exactly how to START EARNING
AND LEARNING TODAY!
Stop waiting for your life to “happen
to you”. Make your life what you want it to be
NOW! Either call, email, or visit my Web site, and allow
me to show you how easy it is to achieve success in
your own home-based business. I’m waiting to assist
you in any way that I can. Create the life you want
now, together, with me. I’m at your service, and
am awaiting your reply.
Successfully Yours,
Sample Critique
“Hippity-Hop,
Here He Comes”!
The newest edition to the Fox Network’s
lineup of irreverent, “how-should- we- take-this”
type shows, “Greg the Bunny”, sports “muppet-like”
characters combined with human actors to deliver a television
series of a somewhat outrageous nature. Appearing each
Wednesday at 9p.m., Greg, the star, and also a bunny,
can be described as nothing short of adorable, although
his behavior smacks of preadolescent-male misbehavior
all through the few episodes that have so far aired.
The show derives its name from the bunny, Greg, although
most episodes seem to highlight the supporting characters,
such as Count Blah, and Dottie Sunshine, as much, if
not more, than they do Greg.
The scripts seem a little light at times, and some of
the jokes do fall flat, but these obvious failures are
interspersed with true flashes of real hilarity, and
I found that, although a new show, in need of somewhat
considerable improvement, script-wise, I did enjoy this
series. The combination of real humans with the puppets
tends to be somewhat disconcerting, especially during
the initial viewing, and more than just a little unbelievable,
but repeated watching gets the viewer over these discrepancies,
as each successive episode does seek to develop each
character more fully than the previous one, with the
characters then becoming more real and loveable to the
viewer as time goes on. The human characters take second
stage to the puppets throughout, and perhaps more development
on the human characters would resolve the “reality”
issues that a viewer may find distracting. The combination
of human actors and puppets, is of course, nothing new,
as Jim Henson broke ground with this idea eons ago,
but the irreverence shown by the puppets to the humans
does break new ground, with the puppets obviously being
in charge, and I found this to be a very novel, unique
approach to a television series.
“Greg the Bunny”, because of the unusual
aspect it brings to a television audience, deserves
a “look-see” by any and all viewers, most
especially those that are fans of the “Fox”
network and its less-than-standard fare.

Sample Essays
Depression
You’ve been “blue” before. You’ve
lost interest in eating and most, if not all, of your
friends and activities before. You are having bad dreams,
when you do sleep, just as before. You’ve dwelled
on the past a lot before, as well, thinking of all the
things that “might have been”. Sex became
an unnecessary pleasure before, as it seems to be now.
But never, ever, before, has your “blue period”
dragged on this long. It’s been several months
now, and you don’t feel any better than you did
when it first started. Your other “blue periods”
always came and went quickly, and you’re starting
to get scared because of the length of time that you
have now been “blue”. You feel totally lost
and all alone in the world.
Chances are, you are now “clinically
depressed”. Clinical depression is gauged by the
length and seriousness of the symptoms. How “down”
you feel, how long you have felt this “down”
and how little the pleasures of life now interest you,
are all factors that are taken into consideration when
making a diagnosis of “clinical depression”.
You’re not alone. Recent studies
show, that in our society today, almost 50% of the population
will suffer one or more episodes of “clinical
depression” within their lifetimes. Being a more
mobile society has contributed to this, as well as the
high cost of living, and the high rate of divorce.
Luckily, though, new research and an advanced
awareness of depression have also led to many new treatments
and techniques to overcoming this crippling disease.
First, if you suspect you are suffering
from a lasting, clinical depression, visit your family
doctor. He is your first stop on the way to “wellness”
and is versed in the steps you need to implement on
your way to a cure.
Secondly, put aside your shame at feeling
this way. You are not at fault, and you have nothing
to be ashamed of. Depression is a combination of negative
brain chemistry and negative personal experiences. It
is never the depressed persons’ “fault”,
so don’t waste valuable time and energy in feeling
shame and guilt about your situation. Getting in touch
with your depression and facing it, without feeling
shame, will rid yourself of the tension involved in
keeping your depression a secret.
Thirdly, try to keep your life on an even
keel. Do things that only appeal to you. Don’t
pressure yourself into keeping obligations that stress
you out. Don’t try to do too much in any given
day. Don’t let others pressure you into making
too many commitments; commitments that will only make
you feel more stressed and more depressed. No one can
be everything to everybody, and you are no exception.
Realize this.
The fourth step in lifting depression,
is to maintain physical contact with your body and nature.
This is a very important step. Studies have shown that
natural light is loaded with Vitamin D, which sufferers
of depression seem to be lacking. Take a walk in the
park. Plan a day at the beach. Soak in the sunshine
any way that you can. While doing this, notice the wildlife
and nature around you. The pretty birds, the cute squirrels,
and the flowers and trees can all have a positive impact
on our psyches. Above all, get some form of daily exercise.
Natural chemicals, called endorphins, within our own
bodies, are released when we exercise. These natural
chemicals can have a positive impact by elevating our
moods naturally. The effects of these natural chemicals
can lift our mood for hours after the exercise and are
extremely valuable to those suffering any type of depression.
Last, but not least, pamper yourself.
Spend a day in bed watching movies if that is what you
like. Go shopping and splurge on yourself. Take a long,
hot, bubble bath. Turn off the phone and concentrate
for a whole weekend on yourself and no one else. Do
all of the above as often as needed. Don’t wait
for others to come and treat you to the things that
you enjoy. Treat yourself instead.
If all else fails, however, don’t
be too proud to seek expert advice. New drugs and new
techniques to help you cope with depression are being
discovered each and every day. There is no reason to
suffer. Help is there if you need it.
Of all the mental disorders combined,
depression is the most curable, and has the highest
success rate of all. Please, don’t allow foolish
pride to keep you from feeling good once again. You
can defeat depression. However, the first step starts
with you. Take it now.

“Stem Cell Essay”
September 5, 2001
Stem cells are cells that have the ability to divide
for indefinite periods in a culture, and to give rise
to specialized cells. Embryonic stem cells are the basic
building blocks for the 260 or so cell types in the
human body. During development, stem cells transform
into heart, muscle, brain, skin or other tissues.
Researchers want to use these cells to fashion new cells
that could be used to treat diabetes, Parkinson’s
disease, heart disease or other disorders. Many people
have spoken out against taking these cells from developing
human embryos, simply because they consider it to be
murder. Other United States citizens feel that stem
cell research is invaluable to the human race, and will
help prevent and treat many terminal and chronic diseases
in the future, therefore they are strong advocates of
stem cell research.
In an effort to put an end to the debate, President
Bush has ordered that federal funds be made available
only for research on cell lines that were in existence
on or before August 9, 2001, restricting the establishment
of new lines of stem cells.
Although the research so far regarding the stem cells
does show extraordinary promise, there is much to be
done by the medical profession, and researchers in particular,
before the mass production of stem cells becomes a reality,
and therefore valuable in the treatment of chronic and
severe diseases.
My personal position on this controversial issue is
that the frozen embryos should be used if they are only
going to be destroyed anyway. These frozen embryos that
are already in use might very well save someone’s
life, or alleviate their misery. However, new stem cells
should be prohibited until more statistics and information
on the subject becomes available, thereby making the
medical community and researchers responsible for their
actions. In any case, this type of research can by no
means be taken lightly, and the public needs as much
enlightened information as it is possible to provide
in order to make an informed decision regarding this
topic.

Adoption
The word "adoption" itself speaks
reams about the perception of this procedure within
our society. According to its definition within Webster's
Twentieth Century Dictionary, adoption means: "To
take and receive as one's own, that which is not attained
naturally". The very use of this word to describe
the legal attainment of another human being, therefore,
shrouds an adopted child in a veil of value not unlike
that which is bestowed upon property. The adoptive parents
are, in addition, portrayed as the recipients, while
the children themselves, are usually referred to as
"adoptees".
Adoption has become rather routine in our society today.
Celebrities continually make headlines with the adoption
of their “latest” child, while daily newspapers
seem to abound with classified advertisements “seeking
newborns to adopt”, by well-healed young couples,
either unwilling, or unable to have their own children.
The media continually seems to promote adoption as a
way of furnishing a loving, caring home to children
that would otherwise become “wards of the state”
or “waifs”.
The reality of adoption, however, can sometimes be much
different than the perception that the general public
has of it. A cloud of secrecy usually envelops each
and every adoption, with the rights of the birth parents
taking second place to those of the adoptive parents.
