The use of a car and a bike have the same purposes, but there's a difference, which is obvious. First, a car is a luxurious accessory, which has multiple features; for example, the car has a radio, air conditioning, and comfortable seats, unlike a bike which only has a seat and two pedals. When it comes to riding a bike and driving a car both need maintenance in order for it to function well; furthermore, both need to have a certain tire pressure, steering and braking pads needs to be functional. The car actually requires more maintenance; the oil has to be changed and making sure the battery and engine are operational. Also, it cost more to keep a car operating than a bike; the bike can be easily fixed by purchasing new tires or an inner tube.

    There are many benefits when it comes to intermittent compression devices particularly the one named Normatec. One specific benefit that is always mentioned is that this device is extremely portable. An athlete can take this device anywhere that he or she desires because of the rechargeable batteries.

    The contrast in the land of the English colonies, with stark contrast between the North and the South created considerable economic disparity between the two regions. Dreams of undiscovered financial hotbeds drove the early colonization attempts, as is the case with Virginia, the first English colony in America. The investors behind the Virginia colony, the London Company, looked for a profitable market, which they soon found in tobacco (Brinkley 37). Maryland, another Chesapeake colony, was also supported by the cash crop of tobacco. Tobacco actually made up more than 72% of the exports in the Upper South from 1768 to 1782, and the next closest exports were grains, making up almost 20% of the exports (packet 25).…

    Harun, the protagonist of Kamel Daoud’s novel, The Meursault Investigation, and Meursault, the protagonist of Albert Camus’ novel, The Stranger, are strikingly similar people that commit strikingly similar crimes.

    Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas is about the subject of death, but the theme is focused on fighting against death and gives the reader a sense of control over death by never giving up. The poem tells us not to give up easily when it says “Rage, rage against the dying the light” (Thomas, 659), which indicates a fight. The tone is angry and it uses assonance by repeating O’s sounds over and over, showing repetition similar to someone punching someone repeatedly giving the reader a feeling of control over death. The use of assonance by using words like do, not, go, into, and good create a repetitive effect of doing something over and over and never giving up. There is a one simile to point out in the fifth stanza where it…
