First Inaugural Address, January 20, 1981, by Ronald Reagan

These United States are confronted with an economic problem of great proportions . . . It threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people. Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, causing human misery and personal indignity. Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity . . . We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding—we are going to begin to act, beginning today . . .

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. If no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.

We hear much of special interest groups. Our concern must be for a special interest group that knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and our factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we are sick—professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers. They are, in short, “We the people,” this breed called Americans.

If we look to the answer as to why, for so many years, we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here, in this land, we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.

It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We are not, as some would have us believe, doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing. So, with all the creative energy at our command, let us begin an era of national renewal. Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength. And let us renew our faith and our hope.

excerpt from “Address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort” by John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy became president in 1961 at a time when there were serious tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union; each country strove to surpass the other in military, political, and economic power. When Kennedy took office, the public perception was that the Soviet Union had established itself as leader in the “space race,” a term coined to represent the competition between the two super powers for dominance in development of space technologies and exploration. In this speech, delivered at Rice University in Texas, Kennedy describes his goals for space exploration, which included landing a man on the moon.

1 Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it–we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.

2 Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world’s leading space-faring nation.

3 We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.

4 We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

5 It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.

6 In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man’s history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.

this is my essay so far is it good? i still need to add my back up links tho.

This essay will argue that mountain bikes are better than moto bikes. mountain bikes are better than motorbikes because they are light, meaning you can take them to a lot of places. With mountain bikes you can be free and ride around places at any age but with motorbikes you have to be old enough to have a licence. Mountain bikes can be cheap or expensive so if you're a beginner you can buy a cheap bike to see if you like it.

Mountain bikes are better than moto bikes because mountain bikes are really light compared to a moto bike meaning it is easier for you to take a mountain bike away, To say if you were going on a trip/holiday ride for the day, it is really easy to just get your mountain bike and ride as in a moto bime you would have to get all your gear on first make sure you have a licence and registration, ETC.

With motorbikes you have to have a licence and registration plus you have to be oldernough to get that, but with a mountain bike at any age you can start riding and no ones stopping you. With a motorbike you can't just go for a quick little ride or a cruise you have to be oldernought and have a licence and rego and a helmet.

With Mountain biking you can get bikes for really cheap or expensive so if you are just a beginner you can get a cheap bike and see if you like it and if you really like it upgrade to a slightly better bike, then if you stick with it you might choose to get a more expensive bike so that you can do big stuff with the right type of bike you need. But even if you get an expensive bike it's still not as expensive as a good motorbike.

Jonas has to abandon the carefully laid plans and flee in the middle of the night to save Gabe from being released. Jonas reflects as he is leaving, “at dawn, the orderly, disciplined life he had always known would continue again, without him. The life where nothing was ever unexpected. Or inconvenient. Or unusual. The life without color, pain, or past” (158). Do you agree with Jonas’s decision? Why or why not?

As Montag makes his escape from his
entertainment and technology obsessed society,
he reflects on how he feels as if he has "left a
stage behind and many actors," as well as those
who "ate shadows for breakfast and steam for
lunch and vapors for supper.” Based on these
LDs, what is Montag pinpointing as a main issue
in his society? How does it relate to their
constant entertainment watching / technology
use? Next, think about our world: Is there a
similar issue in our society? Do we consume and
nourish ourselves with "steam, vapor and
shadows"? How might this impact our wellbeing
and our society?

Read the excerpt from Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

For a long moment no one moved or said a word as Mr. Barnett shone the light directly on T.J., then on R.W. and Melvin, their faces darkened by the stockings. But when Mr. Barnett saw the cabinet lock busted, he flew into frenzied action, hopping madly down the stairs and trying to grab the metal box from Melvin. They struggled, with Mr. Barnett getting the better of Melvin, until R.W. whopped Mr. Barnett solidly on the head from behind with the flat of the axe, and Mr. Barnett slumped into a heap upon the floor as if dead.
