1. It is true that the city council did approve a tax for a new road
construction project. However, our city needs to attract more businesses to stabilize our economy.

2. Driving to work instead of using public transportation is like not
eating everything on your plate. It wastes valuable resources.

3. Increasing our city's debt to improve our roads is better than
letting all our cars be destroyed because of all the pot holes.

4. Our current mayor has been in politics for over 25 years. It is time
that we have a younger mayor, so we can have fresh ideas to make our city better.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
