My Puppy, My Friend
There are few moments within a person’s life that can be considered life defining. For many people a life defining moment can consist of a new person into their life, or a new idea or invention that came to mind. For me my life defining moments are not all the same. While I have great moments and simple moments, many are so incredible that I could not begin to describe. However there is one moment in particular that is describable and very “life defining”.
It was in the middle of sixth grade, my life was headed in a direction that was not suitable for a typical Christian teenager. I was slacking off in my work and my life was just not headed in the direction that is Christ honoring. I thought that it would take a miracle for me to get back on track.
Well it was a far cry from a miracle but it was a life defining moment none the less. I was about 13 and can still remember clearly the event and how it took place. I came home from school on the day of my birth with a long face and a heavy load on my shoulders. I’m not sure what was weighing me down, but I knew that something was dragging my spirit. Little did I know that it was all about to change, I walked through the door and entered my house to find my mom and my sister talking in the kitchen. I made it about half way to the couch when something attacked my leg. To my surprise it was a new puppy.
This puppy was no ordinary puppy it was a German short haired pointer. It had brown spots all over its white-hair body. Needless to say I was a bit surprised, but all in all I found this puppy to be a great stress relief, and I know I don’t have to tell you that a typical 13 year old has a ton of stress.
Throughout the years this little puppy has become a great object of my affection, He has helped me out of many ordeals by both friendship and as an “scapegoat”. I have always found that I can talk to him no matter what and He always listens. While it is true dog is man’s best friend.

DESCRIPTIVE
FRIENDSHIP
Friendship inevitably affects the human body as well as the spirit. I doubt if it is possible to hate anybody and be completely healthy. Physicians agree that resentment fosters poison in the human systems. It is not possible to love everybody, or even to like everybody, but at least, when there is no friendly response the robe of tolerant indifference can be put on.
Friendship is an intangible thing, a kind of circle which completely surrounds another person,taking him in with all his good points and all his bad, enveloping him in his entirety. Above all, friendship means immeasurable capacity for forgiveness. It means the ability to check off resentment, rather than let it persist and poison the spirit. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote,
"He is a green hand at life who cannot forgive any mortal thing".There are no more enduring thing in life than real friendship. If it is not enduring, then it is not real, and has never found its way from far-flung fields of an acquaintance to the inner circle of devotion.
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
The Human Brain Vs. The Computer
The Human Brain vs. the Computer
Over the millennial, Man has come up with countless inventions, each more
ingenious than the last. However, only now, as the computer arises that
mankind's sentience itself is threatened. Ridiculous, some may cry, but I say
look about you! The computer has already begun to hold sway over so many of the
vital functions that man has prided himself upon before. Our lives are now
dependent upon the computer and what it tells you. Even now, I type this essay
upon a computer, fully trusting that it will produce a result far superior to
what I can manage with my own to hands and little else.

It has been commonly said that the computer can never replace the human
brain, for it is humans that created them. Is this a good reason why the
computer must be inferior to humans? Is it always true that the object cannot
surpass its creator? How can this be true? Even if we just focus on a single
creation of man, say the subject of this essay, the computer, there are many
ways in which the computer has the edge over man. Let us start with basic
calculation. The computer has the capability to evaluate problems that man can
hardly even imagine, let alone approach. Even if a man can calculate the same
problems as a computer, the computer can do it far faster than he can possibly
achieve. Let us go one step further. Say this man can calculate as fast as a
computer, can he, as the computer can, achieve a 100% rate of accuracy in his
calculation? Why do we now go over the human data entry into a computer when a
mistake is noticed instead of checking the computer? It is because computers
now possess the ability to hold no error in its operation, where mankind has not
advanced in this area in any noticeable margin.

CAUSE AND EFFECT: ILLEGAL LOGGING
There are many people that are not satisfied with the creation of God so they do the illegal, and the cause is there are many people had lost their houses and becoming danger from them, it can affect with our environmental economy they cut the trees that can result to flash flood, land slide, and soil erosion.
logging companies over-harvest by cutting down trees beyond what is allowed in their limits, they also over-harvest by cutting immature trees.
Firewood gatherers also do their own tree cutting.
They also recklessly cut young growing trees that would have grown into good timber with more years, as more trees are cut down the effect is more animals go hungry.
When the forest disappear, wild life is displaced.
