to concrete items, and back up your choices with personal reasons why you are eliminating them.
If I were to get rid of three things they would be drugs,murders,and alcohol.The reason I would get rid of drugs is because I had a friend that died because of the drugs she used so much.The reason I would get rid of murders is because they should not be a loud to take some ones life and get away with it.The reason I would get rid of alcohol is because my mother almost died because she did not make a smart choice and she drank the alcohol her friends gave her when she was a girl. These are the three things Iwould get rid of if I could.

2. When you hear or read of a car accident that involved teenagers, what do you tend to assume was the cause of the accident? What about if you hear about an accident involving the elderly? Explain your answers
When I hear about a car accident that involved teenagers I tend to assume they were being careless and not watching what they are doing.(The reason why is because) most car accidents might not be the person driving, it might be the person behind them. When I hear of a car accident with the elderly I assume they got run over, but on the other hand they might have been in the passenger seat and the driver was being careless.(The reason why is because) I rarely see an add in the newspaper that says it was only the elderly person in the car.
