 * In my SOL pretest essay paper I wrote about how the government is a wonderful place to live and how it is slowly falling apart. I thought the government has the power to make and abolish laws. And how we as a nation look up to depend on the government.
 * In this piece I discussed that the American dream is to live in a land likeEden. A land where it’s promising, and uplifting. Where we don’t’ have to worry about material things like money, clothes, cars or homes.
