You are 14th.  Looking at you growing up I realize just how fast time is going by. I still remember the day I felt there was a small angel in me. I and your dad were so happy but also very anxious. One day, two days then three days...you grew in me, bit by bit. Then I had to stay home to rest and to protect you from many kind of sickness I might get from work. Your grandparents asked me eat everything they believed that made you smart and pretty. They were right. I took Prenatal care everyday. You were still growing in me everyday and then came first day I could feel your movement. I saw your small hands touching me, you little feet kicking. And I know I love you so much. Sometimes I could catch your elbow. That was so wonderful....the biggest joy and happiness God gave me and all the women in the world. Then I came to know my angel was a baby girl. I was so anxious when the doctor moved the camera on my belly. But thanked God. I finally had a little duck in me. Ultrasound re...

That was Long Ho village, an old village on the bank of Huong river - just a few miles from Hue, a lovely village with a peaceful life. When I was a little girl I came there often. Many years have passed, so many things have changed but the dream-like memory of that small village is still vividly in my heart and the warm atmosphere of the evening there seep into my mind each time I feel tired of the urban life in Saigon city. Every evening, when the sun had just set behind Ngu Binh hills, all around us we could see the farmers walking home from the fields, tired after a long day of hard work. Some dogs were running toward their owners, wagging their tails and barking happily. The buffalos which had pulled plows along with the farmers during the hot day passed us on the way to the stables. High a top of one buffalo a boy play a lazy song with his bamboo flute as the animal slowly plodded onward. Far away, some cows were chewing the fresh grass. Here and there, kids were flying kites.....

Support will come in the form of: Quotes from scholarly sources Quotes from interviews Facts, figures, and statistics Personal stories Topic Sentences The first sentence of each paragraph should sum up what the entire paragraph will be about.

After reading “Up Against Walmart” and “Progressive Walmart. Really” compose an essay arguing that Walmart is beneficial to Americans and should remain in business OR arguing that Walmart has harmed America and should be boycotted (or describe other action that should be taken). Remember: you MUST take a side – your essay cannot argue both sides. That being said, you need to remember to enter into the conversation. There is a “they say” already taking place, in what you read in class, in other readings you have done, and in our class debate. Find a way to enter into this discussion. Your essay should present your opinion (your argument) and then should support it with a number of points (remember, your opinion is not strong enough support – you need facts and quotes to back up your points). Each of these points could be divided into 1-3 paragraphs. You should end with a strong conclusion. You must include at least 4 quotes and need to utilize at least six scholarly resources ...
