English

Paul Thompsn describes a massive loss of brain cells and therefore brain conections in those areas that are related to impulses and to self control as an event that occurs in all teenagers, and considers this loss to be the cause of many teenagers' reckless behavior and mental confusion. While Dr. Thompson does not consider this scientific finding a justification for violent actions like the shooting of a teacher by Brazill, he does prove that an adolescent's brain is not the same as an adult's and therefore the trial of Nathaniel Brazill should not be based on the same criteria as if he had planned his actions with an adult's mind and deliberation. Dr. Thompson's description resulted in his being sentenced for second-degree murder, rathen tthan for first-degree murder as he would have been, had he been an adult.

You have been saving money for something that you have wanted for a long time. Finally, you have
nadezda [96]

Just write something simple. For instance, your friend's name is Jack (or anything of your choice), and the item of your desire was a bike. You wanted to buy it because you were extremely inspired by a bike race you saw on TV a few weeks/months ago. You managed to get half the money from your dad, but the other half was from a part-time job you worked at as a barista/delivery driver/accountant whatever it is that you applied to solely for the sake of affording the bike.

Now that you've bought the bike, describe your excitement to learn riding it, your happiness of how you reached your goal and so forth. It should be easy.

I'm being vague here in case your assignment is an online one and there is chance of you receiving a plagiarism strike. I hope this helps.

What was the nobility like in Sir Thomas Malory's time?
Darina [25.2K]
Malory himself was ostensibly a member of the nobility, and yet he was accused of various crimes ranging from ambush to r*pe during his life, and he died in jail. This is one example of how the chivalric codes portrayed in the literature of the period were not adhered to as strongly in real life.This period was also characterized by the ‘war of the roses’ in which England was inflicted by a civil war, something that the homosocial bonds in the Arthurian court does not reflect, although the civil war with Mordred does.
