“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Enlist Paragraph


I would NEVER join the army unless I had a life or death reason to. I think those who join are great for taking a stand for their nation, but I also believe that those people have many other great qualities. I think one of the easiest ways to die is to join the army and if someone has a special talent is almost practically being wasted by joining. For example, someone who joins the army is most likely fit, and if they are super strong and so on then they might qualify for football or another sport if they go to college. What I'm trying to say is that there are many options rather than just relying on joining the army. Unless that is just something someone really wants to do then that's on them, but I would never join.

Primary and Secondary Sources Comparison



Primary and secondary sources have a couple things in common and a couple things that differ. First, they are alike by both being reliable, and giving information. Another would be they both speak of an event. They are different from each other because obviously, they both come from different sources. Primary sources come straight from the source. For example, a diary, interviews, letters, personal essays, editorials, speeches, oral histories, eyewitness news reports, literary works, public documents and an autobiography. A secondary source is different from a primary source by being told by the secondary source, or someone who was not exactly a participant at the event. For example, a biography, history books, textbooks, encyclopedias, reference books, magazine articles, newspaper articles, and literary lyricism. These sources are both helpful by both being accounted for information and information from many perspectives.
