Drinking Age.

We might as well do it anyways. Yes there is a age limit on drinking but realistically no one actually follows it. There is always illegal drinking happening somewhere or parents allow there underage kids to drink as long as they're are home. Correy D. Reid said " Kids at the tender ages of 11 and 12 have started while they are still in elementary school". Underage drinkers sometime start because of peer pressure or "lets be rebels" are start illegal drinking "deemed wrong"( Correy. D. Reid). Not saying that it should be lowered to a point were 10 year old come to school with a hangover, but at a more reasonable age, Because we know that they have probably already started. MSNBC stated that people at the age of 18 who are allowed to vote and fight for their country. Shouldn't they be allowed to drink at 18. Maybe with lowering the drinking age there should be more rules until you have reached the believed appropriate age of 19. Like going for your learners at first there is parent supervision until a year passes, Then there is more freedom. Some believe that if we lower our age more kids are going to get impregnated, but not all teen pregnancy can be blamed on the use of alcohol. And because Teens have already started the underage drinking, the chances of increased pregnancy is low.How ever the drinking age should be lowered but with limitations.

Rant

Is having patience really so hard. Someone doesn't reply back to your message on text or facebook right the second you send the message that person must be angry or annoyed by you. That person has no other reason not to reply instantly, no other excuse. There is something wrong with them. Noway , were not doing anything wrong by harassing them over and over again until there is a reply. And soon as we do reply"whats wrong, are u OK". Like someone close has passed away and we couldn't answer our blackberries. Or there is the ever so famous. "So whats New" like the
minute annoyance fest never happened. But it isn't just all cellphone reply. Work; a customer waits in line for 30 seconds and as soon as they are served. They walk away mumbling something under their breath. "Sorry we couldn't have pushed the customer in front of you aside to serve you faster". Are some people justified for being impatient , or is there always a stupid reason behind being impatient ?

Novel Synthesis ( Angels and Demons + Dover Beach)

The main theme that connects both Angels & Demons and Dover Beach is the loss of faith. In Angels & Demons the loss of faith is shown tremendously through out this novel. It shows how that science has somewhat taken over and less faith in god and religion are shown. In the novel when Vittoria and Kohler are arguing about the antimatter and how genesis is possible it kind of destroys the perception of how the world was actually formed from a religious point of view. In Dover Beach when Matthew Arnold speak of the Sea of Faith and how it used to be broad and now while seeing the sea retreat to the shore its not so much. " The Sea of Faith Was once , too at the full , and round earth's shore", " But now I only hear Its melancholy, long , withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath". The diffrence between the two pieces of literature is the Angels & Demons are more literal when discussing the loss of faith and Dover Beach is more on the metaphorical side. However they both dispute the loss of faith in the modern age.
