I am in 11th grade AP English Literature and would like to know if the essay seems appropriate for a coming of age narrative. Also: is it interesting, meaningful, does it bring any questions to mind, believable (in which it is a true personal narrative), clear, or descriptive? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
A Wild Pack of Wolves
The surging air flowed freely from the gaping wound of a door behind me. A blanket of humidity greeted me now with a suffocating intoxication, quickly reminding me how nice the air-conditioned the department store had been. Trudging along, I began my exile through the parking lot to my car. I left the store behind me and filtered through other corpses that stick baked to the asphalt. My skin glistens and reflects the unforgiving yet naïve sun, the same light that gives the moon its shallow glow. The sun seemed to give this day an individual energy and reality, a true ecstasy giving a hope to those banished from the gaiety of life. Any other day I would have hurried to my car, but today I let the sun’s inescapable veracity sizzle and soak me through, as do novelties a consumer. The tint from inside the car induced the purging of what existed beyond the window from out of what withered inside. Bliss, no matter how much I thought I had wanted it, and tried to get, ended in misery. Who was I fooling; I’m no more human than a puppet that will dance with the flick of a social conformist’s wrist. It’s days like this one that the red curtain retreats before me, giving way to life’s actors who seem to dramatize the same play repeatedly while I watch and recite their next words. I could no longer eat of the apple in all its décor of waxy perfection while this picture hung vainly rotten before me like a day’s till. Is having never tasted the sweetness of truth worse than the infinite dream of a false beauty? I twisted the ignition and cranked the air-conditioning, drinking in my artificial air until I was hydrated enough to adjust to the new light of the car. I sat there, fleeing far from the recesses of the parking lot; from where I sat, I could quietly add up my whole life. However this is no more than what could be fitted inside the plastic bag that lay strewn across the adjacent seat. I sat and wondered about past memories, surfaced from spotting The Jungle Book inside the department store. I wondered, if the boy in the story had continued living with the wolves and lived a lie his whole life, would it be better or worse than living with humans. If his life continued with the wolves he would never know responsibility, love, or religion. On the other hand, is living with humans and knowing hate, jealousy, malice, and vanity better? The time for my innocence had come and left, ripped out of my cradle before I knew whom good, evil, Adam, or Eve was. As I drove away from all that wilderness of the parking lot, all the cries and howls of long ago seemingly transmuted into nothing more than the glimmers of light, reflecting from the stream of asphalt that grew longer, until it became nothing more than the infinite luminosity of the sun that trailed past the distant mountains.
“Travis…Travis…--oh there you are. Hello my name is Doctor Newton and I’ll be your doctor for the next couple of weeks. Now you just come right through this door and we’ll get started with our first session—O.K.?”
I nodded, leaving the quiet emptiness that can only come from a group of people each silently enduring the weekly pain of a not so anticipated doctors appointment. The only detectable manifestation of this pain was the occasional crinkle of a magazine page being turned. As I passed under the ominous arch of the doorframe overhead I prayed silently that I would never have to read any of those magazines again. Doctor Newton’s office was littered with pictures of babies crawling in diapers and clowns with face paint. One clown had a sad face painted on him with a single real tear on his cheek--only the tear had been caked down from all the paint.
A long pause passed before the doctor’s and my eyes met somewhere on her desk; I was sitting on some Playskool desk with paper and crayons.
“So…” the doctor said, “can you tell me why you are here today?”
Another pause passed by without a word. I questioned myself why I was here in the first place and also whether her question was entrapment. Finally, I answered, “I can’t really say, my dad wouldn’t tell me.”
After the brief conversing I was told to “draw a picture—any picture I wanted.”
So I began to draw the clown I saw earlier and a couple other familiar things. I drew for ten minutes and she complimented me on the art. I began to take quick glances at her eyes, for they said what we both knew but only one of us would admit. I wanted to leave. I could feel a stinging pain on the back of my eyes and a queasy sensation in my abdomen.
Doctor Newton cracked the edges of her lips, paused and finally asked, “How do you feel about your mother?”
I uttered silently, “I don’t know—fine I guess.”
“You don’t have any problems you want to share--you know nothing leaves this room,” said Doctor Newton.
I knew she was going to ask, and it came like a reflection in a broken mirror.
“Could you tell me a little about your relationship with your mother and how you feel about her illness?”
The whine of the Ford in the driveway and the horn blow immediately following the clap of a door usually sent happiness through me, enough to send me sailing towards the front door of the house. This evening carried no such melody, only torture. There I sat, listening to the strikes of thunder from her high-heals tear through my heart, and to an awareness of a screaming ever so true. Yet it filled me like a dream that comes like a shadow and all I could do was sit there, paralyzed on the ground next to the door. I knew something was wrong when it should have been right; I could feel the warmth of harmony’s momentary embrace grow desolate as it covered my eyes as I sat crying. The door slammed shut sending a flash of light through the room and then silently returning back beneath the door from where it had abruptly entered. I know not of money, jobs, worry, responsibility, hate, rape, illness, divorce, and now I know not my mother’s eyes before me. These things were cold and sunken, empty shells of the loving and pretty world through which I learned of good and evil. They were dead, destroyed, from another world I had not learned of but heard so much about. I moved down her face to black rivers that tainted the shores of her cheeks. Further down rested a set of vicious white edges, made visible by the panicked wrinkles that made a martyr of her face. I searched violently for my mother, but the closest thing I would ever find to her would be found only in a mirror.
Night came in, relieving shame from the earth and its creatures. I always liked the night for it unmasked the ambiguities of day and gave true shape to what had previously been blinded so childishly by the sun. Tonight I sat in bed and adjusted my eyes enough to see past the glare of the lamp out into the light of night. There was a tall eucalyptus, hunched from the irregularity of its large branches and lack of roots, which grew centered in the lawn and around it was the rest of the backyard lawn. This sanctuary of infinite youthful possibilities tonight would not find relief from the usual cry of laughter, but host the paths of two lives, each tied to survival dependent on the other’s death. The two shadows unveiling themselves, circumvented around the corners of my eyes to find one another at the base of the eucalyptus. There they scratched, bit, tore, and capsized until they became one snarled mess of the same shadow among the sea of grass. I picked up deafly howls and cries, but neither sound belonged to a definite shape. Not until the hissing stopped and one shadow floated erratically back in the direction it had came from could I tell. It was my aged smitten cat Chelsy, but she was the mound of flesh that remained. She had seen night before day, child after parent, prey facing predator, and now she and her tree would see life after death—but never would the roots be less uneven or the leaves greener.
“ ‘And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and domestic animals according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the earth was good and He approved it.
God said, Let Us make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth--,’ ”
“Why did God create us?”
“I don’t quite know, maybe God got lonely or maybe he just wanted praise,” Mommy answered. I bent my neck backwards and gawked at her. Her eyes were recoiled and wounded as before, but a little warmth still radiated in the sparkle I always remember her having. I have seen her look at others but the glint of light never shows itself.
“Honey why don’t you just let me finish so we can go to bed,” said Mommy exhaustingly.
“O.K., but I have already heard this part tell another,” I cheered.
“How about this, ‘And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate.
Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves apron-like girdles.
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden—’ ”
“Why did God make the tree? And was God angry at them?”
“Honey, how can a parent ever be angry at a child, except for when that child is no longer one anymore. Even then a parent’s love never dies. God doesn’t create bad people only bad situations. If you remember anything I ever tell you remember this, Love is what you don’t give not what you do give. Maybe truth is supposed to be glorious because you know what love is and you are closer to God for it. So maybe Bliss is what defines innocence and choice is what defines love. If a person doesn’t have choice can they ever really know true love?”
I was now asleep, only I was dreaming dreams that have no place inside a child. Murky dreams where I could feel my teeth come loose and scrape the sides of my mouth, then dangle from the veins that give them life. All the while I watch helplessly the scene of my Mommy willingly feeding herself to a pack of wild wolves. I feel no pain, no emotion, I only watch while I frantically try to understand why I don’t stop her. Upon waking, I could see the door to my now dark room, it was cracked transcending a long triangular light across my bed and up onto the edge of my pillow next to my face. On the illuminated sliver of my pillow I could see pools of dampness that had been absorbed into the inner depths of the cushioning. I sat there, face down wondering if the wet was from tears or saliva, for I had none on my face.
I had already been seated along side the cul-de-sac curb when the shadow of Dad’s Bronco screeched and eased to a halt, blocking the evening sun from my view. The faint circular outline of the moon could already be seen directly overhead. The curb upon which I sat was still warm, the only remnant left of the Sun’s presence in the horseshoe shaped neighborhood that crowned the hill on which it rested. I placed my right hand on the curb for I no longer needed to shield my eyes from the glare angled off from the side-view mirror on the Bronco. The brown cardboard box of memories that lay between my legs lined up with the back tire of the Bronco. These few random objects I managed to salvage before my Dad told me we had to go held no value, but they were the best I could find. A stuffed wolf Mommy had given me for Valentine’s one year sat on the surface of the opened box. Wolves for as long as I could remember had been my favorite animals but now the stuffed sentiment left me with a sickening feeling inside. The sensation wrenched onto my heart, turning it black with blood, until the failure of it all floated down to the pit of my stomach. I flipped the wolf on its face after having seen my opaquely convex reflection in the wolf’s testing eyes. Dad’s words still rung loudly in my fragile skull, forever trapping the question of what my Mommy really was. How could she be? My Mommy of six years could not have a mental illness. Could I still love her? Did she still love me? And ever more troubling, whom could I believe, my Dad or my Mommy? The only truth I could decipher was through the back window of my Dad’s Bronco, for I could see my mother’s face as it grew smaller. She was kneeling down against the garage door, each hand covering one eye; and so the sparkle was gone forever and so was I.
Although I could not bear to look up into Doctor Newton’s eyes I knew from her utter silence that she too was on the verge of tears. If she could see through all that saturation she would have found a boy who once knew the sweet clap of a rubber ball on concrete, a boy who could have told her the difference between the way a blue crayon and a red crayon smells, and too a boy that once knew the sweet taste that fruit could give in the shimmering presence of an ice-cream truck’s innocent call. But today she only found what made all those memories so precious.
Doctor Newton whispered, “that’s enough for today, you may go.”
And so I did, leaving her with nothing to look at but all those frowns of babies and clowns.

Synchronisity co-incidences and the spirit-world?
Hello
I have noticed that what ever happens, there is a theme of...
Rock music, heavy metal and motorbikes increasing.
If I think about this, this will be on television.
It may be where I walk, there will be someone sitting there with 'Harley Davison' on there clothes as I think about this issue.
I am dying from an illness and like heavy metal music.
I have had other things take place in accordance to a theme of horror, death and destruction previously. I would have a state or indignity, humiliation and embarrasement. A feeling of worthlessness would be premoted by extremily embarrasing conditions that were de-meaning and degrading.
This seems to be changing into heavy metal, rock etc.
My body happens to be dying from exhaustion. I get low body temperature readings of 34.7*C or 94.4*F when I wake up and feel very week,
I have what seems to be low reflexes, part out of body expierences, I can hear things outside that I can't awake.
What do you think will happen?
Synchronisity co-incidences and the spirit-world?
Did your doctor say you were dying? I have temps that low sometimes, and I'm not dying any faster than anybody else (I think!)
I believe in synchronicity, but honestly. according to your description, that stuff sounds to general to qualify. You know best, though, what's happening in your life - and you're in the best position to figure it out.
In my life, the past couple of days, a particular line from a Blake poem keeps turning up. I doubt I can figure out why, though, until things develop further.
Life is a fascinating adventure, isn't it?
Reply:my body temp/blood pressure runs low too - maybe that you have low iron or you're a little anemic. hard to say what will happen cause i'm not a doctor, and anyway, you didn't say what the illness was.
so you like a certain kind of music and motorcycles. those things are popular - of course you see them everywhere! but if it no longer makes you happy, let it go. maybe it's not good for you anymore. i was told many years ago that if you don't like the people you are meeting, change your life, they are a picture of who you are becoming. looking back, might be some truth there.
hope some of that helped some, if not, i hope you get an answer that does. take care

Purchasing a Television –Vizio or Philips
Introduction
When it comes to purchasing a Television society makes it a little harder than before. There are many popular names when it comes to electronics today to name a few you have Vizio, Philips, Magnavox, and JVC. Although we do know these names they do have a few differences with the expanding of cable television.
History
I decided to give a little history on the two products before I explain the difference of the two. I believe the history of any product plays a big role in today’s society. When we choose a product to buy we use experience of this product. We may also take into consideration how much many people purchase this item for their own use.
Vizio is a new company that has recently surfaced in the United States these past few years. They have a headquarters located in Irvine, California where they just relocated to. They are trying to become one of the biggest retailers for plasma’s and HDTV’s in the United States. This is a brand that we have not heard much about till recently. They have low prices on TV’s that you may not find any where else. Vizio had there product in just about any electronic store that they can be in.
Philips who has been around for years to be exact since 1891 but, they did not begin making televisions until later on in the 194’s when they took a leap into the future. Philips in one company that we have all heard of and enjoyed seeing the new products that they came out with. The biggest question that we ask can they stay update and with the growing economy in technology. I believe that Philips is a great product they have managed to stay one of the largest companies in the electronic world with a great resume to hand out.
Quality
When we start to dap in the quality of these two companies and who sticks behind their product the most. I have notice when you are purchasing a television not only do you want the best but, also the quality for your money. Many people rely on the old company because they feel they know what is best. At the same time them new company may also know what is best and know it better than anyone else in that league.
Vizio is able to meet that standards of size and quality of the picture in the televise for a lot less. I have notice that Vizio offers you 1080i resolution on any TV. no matter the size or price of it. They are giving you a choice on how long you would like a warranty on your television. If you choose a four year warranty your price does not increase a lot and make you change your mind. They stand behind their TV’s one hundred percent and never question you on why. They even make sure you are satisfied with the product that you purchased from them.
Philips is also able to meet some of the needs of customers but at a higher price. Their name had carried them a long ways and that is the reason their price is different than other companies that have not been around for so long. I have notice depending on the pixel that you get with the TV. You purchased your price will vary greatly. They also stand behind their product one hundred percent with no questions asked. However you have more of a choice with Philips when it comes to products. You can choose to buy a TV, a razor or even c.d’s to name a few products.
Differences of pixel’s
By choosing your pixel or resolution that is basically asking you your quality of the picture itself and how brilliant you want it to be. Both of these companies offer you a variety of pixel or even resolution which is both the same thing. If you get a lower resolution than they claim your picture is not that great if you get a higher one. Many people when they purchase either TV. look at this as a key factor. They may even see who has the better warranty on their product.
Both companies have a great warranty on all their products. The prices vary greatly by who makes the TV. and what you want to be included in this television. They offer you a variety of warranty extending up to four years of a warranty.
Names
I have notice if you ask people which TV they will choose they automatically choose Philips. This is a company that has been around for so many years and people trust that name no matter what. I understand that Vizio has not been around for long but also carries a great product from my research. If given a few more years who knows Vizio might carry the same reputation as Philips does. Until that time comes the name Philips carry a stronger hold on the society itself and in products to.
Conclusion
I have done a great length of research on these two companies to come to the conclusion that their really is no difference in these products at all. They both have great televisions and stand behind their product one hundred percent. The real difference is name and reputation that they have built so far. From my reading Philips has many years in the industry as Vizio does not.
Vizio is able to charge you less for the same product just to get the reputation that other companies have for instance Philips. You get the same great picture from both companies as you would any other company with the same product.
I and my husband have chosen Vizio because of the low price that they offer and we will see if it is any different than the Philips. We have owned a Philips in the past and loved it we just felt there is a time for change.
Hello, can someone critiqe my paper for me and let me know if its ok or do I need to make any changes..?
You have good information; I just changed up some of your wording so it wasn't as wordy and I took out some sentences.

They are working to become the biggest retailer for Plamsa and HDTVs in the United States. The prices for televisions are low, so you may not find the prices elsewhere. Vizio has products in almost all electronic stores.
Philips, a company since 1891, did not begin making televisions until the 1940s. Philips is a popular company; everyone looks foward to their new products. The biggest question asked is if the company stays updated in growing economy and technology. They have managed to stay one of the largest companies in the electronic world.
Quality
When you are purchasing a telvision, most people buy for quality. Many rely on old companies because they trust them. At the same time, new companies may also be trustworthy.
Vizio meets the standards of size and picture quality in televisions. Vizio offers a 1080i resolution on any television, regardless of size or price. The buyer also chooses how long the warranty lasts. While four year warranties are slightly more expensive, the stand beind their television is one hundred percent. They make sure you are satisfied with your product.
Philips also meets the needs of customers, but their prices are higher. Depending on the pixelation you get with your television, the price will vary. They, too, stand behind their products one hundred percent.
Differences of Pixels
Pixelation, or resolution, is the quality and brilliance of the television's picture. Both companies offer a variety of pixelation. To some, a key factor is also which company has a better warranty. The prices do vary by the telvision and what is included. The highest warranty is four years.
Names
People automatically choose Philips when it comes to televisions since they are such a trusted company. I understand Vizio has not been around for long, but if they are given a few more years, Vizio mary carry the same social status.
Conclusion
I have done research on both companies. I have concluded neither television is better than the other. Both companies stand behind their products. The only differences are the name and reputation in society.
Vizio charges less for the same product so they can achieve a high status. My husband and I have chosen Vizio because of their low prices.
Reply:The first line, Television does not need to be capitalized.
Phillips is made by Magnavox.
Change much to many, notice to noticed, (2x), Difference of pixels capitalize Pixels.
Dap? 194's? I do not understand these.
Anyway I hope this helps.

I have done research on both companies. I have concluded neither television is better than the other. Both companies stand behind their products. The only differences are the name and reputation in society.
Vizio charges less for the same product so they can achieve a high status. My husband and I have chosen Vizio because of their low prices.
Reply:The first line, Television does not need to be capitalized.
Phillips is made by Magnavox.
Change much to many, notice to noticed, (2x), Difference of pixels capitalize Pixels.
Dap? 194's? I do not understand these.
Anyway I hope this helps.

Purchasing a Television –Vizio or Philips
Introduction
When it comes to purchasing a Television society makes it a little harder than before. There are many popular names when it comes to electronics today to name a few you have Vizio, Philips, Magnavox, and JVC. Although we do know these names they do have a few differences with the expanding of cable television.
History
I decided to give a little history on the two products before I explain the difference of the two. I believe the history of any product plays a big role in today’s society. When we choose a product to buy we use experience of this product. We may also take into consideration how much many people purchase this item for their own use.
Vizio is a new company that has recently surfaced in the United States these past few years. They have a headquarters located in Irvine, California where they just relocated to. They are trying to become one of the biggest retailers for plasma’s and HDTV’s in the United States. This is a brand that we have not heard much about till recently. They have low prices on TV’s that you may not find any where else. Vizio had there product in just about any electronic store that they can be in.
Philips who has been around for years to be exact since 1891 but, they did not begin making televisions until later on in the 194’s when they took a leap into the future. Philips in one company that we have all heard of and enjoyed seeing the new products that they came out with. The biggest question that we ask can they stay update and with the growing economy in technology. I believe that Philips is a great product they have managed to stay one of the largest companies in the electronic world with a great resume to hand out.
Quality
When we start to dap in the quality of these two companies and who sticks behind their product the most. I have notice when you are purchasing a television not only do you want the best but, also the quality for your money. Many people rely on the old company because they feel they know what is best. At the same time them new company may also know what is best and know it better than anyone else in that league.
Vizio is able to meet that standards of size and quality of the picture in the televise for a lot less. I have notice that Vizio offers you 1080i resolution on any TV. no matter the size or price of it. They are giving you a choice on how long you would like a warranty on your television. If you choose a four year warranty your price does not increase a lot and make you change your mind. They stand behind their TV’s one hundred percent and never question you on why. They even make sure you are satisfied with the product that you purchased from them.
Philips is also able to meet some of the needs of customers but at a higher price. Their name had carried them a long ways and that is the reason their price is different than other companies that have not been around for so long. I have notice depending on the pixel that you get with the TV. You purchased your price will vary greatly. They also stand behind their product one hundred percent with no questions asked. However you have more of a choice with Philips when it comes to products. You can choose to buy a TV, a razor or even c.d’s to name a few products.
Differences of pixel’s
By choosing your pixel or resolution that is basically asking you your quality of the picture itself and how brilliant you want it to be. Both of these companies offer you a variety of pixel or even resolution which is both the same thing. If you get a lower resolution than they claim your picture is not that great if you get a higher one. Many people when they purchase either TV. look at this as a key factor. They may even see who has the better warranty on their product.
Both companies have a great warranty on all their products. The prices vary greatly by who makes the TV. and what you want to be included in this television. They offer you a variety of warranty extending up to four years of a warranty.
Names
I have notice if you ask people which TV they will choose they automatically choose Philips. This is a company that has been around for so many years and people trust that name no matter what. I understand that Vizio has not been around for long but also carries a great product from my research. If given a few more years who knows Vizio might carry the same reputation as Philips does. Until that time comes the name Philips carry a stronger hold on the society itself and in products to.
Conclusion
I have done a great length of research on these two companies to come to the conclusion that their really is no difference in these products at all. They both have great televisions and stand behind their product one hundred percent. The real difference is name and reputation that they have built so far. From my reading Philips has many years in the industry as Vizio does not.
Vizio is able to charge you less for the same product just to get the reputation that other companies have for instance Philips. You get the same great picture from both companies as you would any other company with the same product.
I and my husband have chosen Vizio because of the low price that they offer and we will see if it is any different than the Philips. We have owned a Philips in the past and loved it we just felt there is a time for change.
Hello, can someone critiqe my paper for me and let me know if its ok or do I need to make any changes..?
Introduction
When it comes to purchasing a television, society makes it a little harder than before. There are many popular names when it comes to electronics today. Two of the major players in this field are Vizio and Philips. We are going to explore the many differences between them, including quality and price.
History
I decided to give a little history on the two brands before I explain the differences between them. I believe the history of any product plays a big role in today’s society. When we choose a product to buy we look at the experience of it's manufacturer. We may also take into consideration the popularity of the brand.
Vizio, for example, is a relatively new company that has recently surfaced in the United States. Their headquarters has recently relocated to Irvine, California. They are trying to become one of the biggest retailers for plasma’s and HDTV’s(high definition) in the United States. This is a brand that we have not heard much about untill recently. They have one of the lowest prices on TVs, that you may not find anywhere else. Vizio has their product in almost any electronic store that carries televisions.
Philips, has been around for years, to be exact, since 1891. They did not begin making televisions until later on in the 1940’s, when they took a leap into the future. Philips is a very reputable company that we have all heard of. Seeing the new products that they came out with has been a joy to many. The biggest question that we can ask is, "can they stay up to date with the growing economy and technology?". I believe that Philips is a great manufacturer. They have managed to stay one of the largest companies in the electronic world with a great selection of quality products.
Quality
When purchasing a television, you'll want to keep in mind the reputation of the company and the product. You'll also look for, not only the best deal but, the best quality for your money. Many people rely on an older company because they feel that company may have more experience and know what is best. At the same time, a new company may have something fresh to offer. They may know tvs better than anyone else in that league, or have a new technology.
Vizio is able to meet the requirements of size with quality of the picture on the television for a lot less money. I have noticed personally, that Vizio offers you 1080i resolution on any TV, no matter the size or price of it. They stand behind their TV’s one hundred percent and never question you on why. They even make sure you are satisfied with the product that you purchased from them.
Philips is also able to meet some of the needs of their customers. Their name has carried them a long way and for this reason their price is higher than other companies. In my research i've found that your purchase price greatly depends on the amount of pixels you want. They also stand behind their product one hundred percent with no questions asked. However, you have more options with Philips when it comes to products they have a very wide variety. You can choose to buy anything from razors, to cd's, and yes, tvs, just to name a few.
Differences of pixels
By choosing your pixel, or resolution, you are choosing what quality of the picture and how brilliant do you want it to be. Both of these companies offer you a variety on number of pixel or even resolution which is the same thing. A lower resolution can mean that your picture won't be as great as a higher one. Many people when they purchase any TV, look at this as a key factor.
Another factor would be the better warranty on the product. Both companies offer great warranties on their products. The prices vary greatly by manufacturer, model, and options available for that unit. They also offer a variety of lengths, possibly extending up to four years of a warranty. Vizio offers you a choice on length adn a price that is low enough in price that you won't opt to not have one.
Names
I have asked many people, which TV they would choose. And it has been my experience that most quickly chose Philips. This company has been in buisiness for so long that people trust that brand name no matter what. I understand that Vizio has not been around for long but, from my research, they also carry a great product. If given a few more years, who knows, Vizio could end up carrying the same reputation as Philips. Until that time comes, the name Philips will have a stronger hold on society and in the products it manufactures as well.
Conclusion
I have done a great amount of research on these two companies, and have come to the conclusion that there really is no difference in these products at all. They both have great televisions and stand behind their product one hundred percent. The real difference is name and reputation and what they have built so far. From my reading, Philips has many years in the industry as Vizio does not.
Vizio is able to charge you less for the same product just to try to gain the reputation that other companies already have, Philips, for instance. You get the same great picture from both companies as you would any other company with the same product.
My husband and I have chosen Vizio because of the low price that they offer. With it we will see if it is any different than the Philips Brand tv. We have owned a Philips in the past and loved it as well. This time we just felt there is a need for change.
I would explain what 1080i means or replace that sentence with a sentence that has the definition. Or you can leave it out all together. Also try to include where the Philips HQ is located to even out the amt of info on each brand. Great topic! Who thinks about that? Most of us jus tgo and get one that fits the price range. Or whatever the salesman pushes. Good job. I rearranged some sentences and changed a few phrases but I'm pretty sure every thing is still there. I hope it helps. Good Luck!

I and my husband have chosen Vizio because of the low price that they offer and we will see if it is any different than the Philips. We have owned a Philips in the past and loved it we just felt there is a time for change.
Hello, can someone critiqe my paper for me and let me know if its ok or do I need to make any changes..?
Introduction
When it comes to purchasing a television, society makes it a little harder than before. There are many popular names when it comes to electronics today. Two of the major players in this field are Vizio and Philips. We are going to explore the many differences between them, including quality and price.
History
I decided to give a little history on the two brands before I explain the differences between them. I believe the history of any product plays a big role in today’s society. When we choose a product to buy we look at the experience of it's manufacturer. We may also take into consideration the popularity of the brand.
Vizio, for example, is a relatively new company that has recently surfaced in the United States. Their headquarters has recently relocated to Irvine, California. They are trying to become one of the biggest retailers for plasma’s and HDTV’s(high definition) in the United States. This is a brand that we have not heard much about untill recently. They have one of the lowest prices on TVs, that you may not find anywhere else. Vizio has their product in almost any electronic store that carries televisions.
Philips, has been around for years, to be exact, since 1891. They did not begin making televisions until later on in the 1940’s, when they took a leap into the future. Philips is a very reputable company that we have all heard of. Seeing the new products that they came out with has been a joy to many. The biggest question that we can ask is, "can they stay up to date with the growing economy and technology?". I believe that Philips is a great manufacturer. They have managed to stay one of the largest companies in the electronic world with a great selection of quality products.
Quality
When purchasing a television, you'll want to keep in mind the reputation of the company and the product. You'll also look for, not only the best deal but, the best quality for your money. Many people rely on an older company because they feel that company may have more experience and know what is best. At the same time, a new company may have something fresh to offer. They may know tvs better than anyone else in that league, or have a new technology.
Vizio is able to meet the requirements of size with quality of the picture on the television for a lot less money. I have noticed personally, that Vizio offers you 1080i resolution on any TV, no matter the size or price of it. They stand behind their TV’s one hundred percent and never question you on why. They even make sure you are satisfied with the product that you purchased from them.
Philips is also able to meet some of the needs of their customers. Their name has carried them a long way and for this reason their price is higher than other companies. In my research i've found that your purchase price greatly depends on the amount of pixels you want. They also stand behind their product one hundred percent with no questions asked. However, you have more options with Philips when it comes to products they have a very wide variety. You can choose to buy anything from razors, to cd's, and yes, tvs, just to name a few.
Differences of pixels
By choosing your pixel, or resolution, you are choosing what quality of the picture and how brilliant do you want it to be. Both of these companies offer you a variety on number of pixel or even resolution which is the same thing. A lower resolution can mean that your picture won't be as great as a higher one. Many people when they purchase any TV, look at this as a key factor.
Another factor would be the better warranty on the product. Both companies offer great warranties on their products. The prices vary greatly by manufacturer, model, and options available for that unit. They also offer a variety of lengths, possibly extending up to four years of a warranty. Vizio offers you a choice on length adn a price that is low enough in price that you won't opt to not have one.
Names
I have asked many people, which TV they would choose. And it has been my experience that most quickly chose Philips. This company has been in buisiness for so long that people trust that brand name no matter what. I understand that Vizio has not been around for long but, from my research, they also carry a great product. If given a few more years, who knows, Vizio could end up carrying the same reputation as Philips. Until that time comes, the name Philips will have a stronger hold on society and in the products it manufactures as well.
Conclusion
I have done a great amount of research on these two companies, and have come to the conclusion that there really is no difference in these products at all. They both have great televisions and stand behind their product one hundred percent. The real difference is name and reputation and what they have built so far. From my reading, Philips has many years in the industry as Vizio does not.
Vizio is able to charge you less for the same product just to try to gain the reputation that other companies already have, Philips, for instance. You get the same great picture from both companies as you would any other company with the same product.
My husband and I have chosen Vizio because of the low price that they offer. With it we will see if it is any different than the Philips Brand tv. We have owned a Philips in the past and loved it as well. This time we just felt there is a need for change.
I would explain what 1080i means or replace that sentence with a sentence that has the definition. Or you can leave it out all together. Also try to include where the Philips HQ is located to even out the amt of info on each brand. Great topic! Who thinks about that? Most of us jus tgo and get one that fits the price range. Or whatever the salesman pushes. Good job. I rearranged some sentences and changed a few phrases but I'm pretty sure every thing is still there. I hope it helps. Good Luck!

Benito Mussolini
Reply:You are wrong on both answers. The Yalta meeting of FDR, Churchill and Stalin agreed that Hitler was a war criminal and could not remain. B was the correct answer.
Germany and the USSR invaded Poland--they each bordered it, Germany on the west, the USSR on the east. Britain is an island hundreds of miles away.
Mussolini of Italy was Hitler's ally, along with Hirohito of Japan.
Reply:B. The Atom Bomb was a huge decision.
B. Soviet Union invaded Sep. 17
Benito Mussolini
On 10 June 1940, Mussolini entered World War II on the side of Nazi Germany. Three years later, Mussolini was ousted by members of his own government with the Allied invasion of Italy. However, soon after his ousting Mussolini was rescued by his German allies under orders from Hitler in Unternehmen Eiche. Following his rescue, Mussolini headed the Italian Social Republic in parts of Italy that were not occupied by Allied forces until the end of the war. In late April 1945 with total defeat looming, Mussolini attempted to escape to Switzerland, only to be captured and summarily executed near Lake Como by Communist Italian partisans. His body was taken to Milan where it was hung upside down at a petrol station for public viewing and confirmation of his demise.

Great Britain did NOT invade Poland. The Italian dictator was Mussolini (and it's spelled "ally.")
Good heavens, child, pay attention in history class. You don't even seem to know who was on what side in WWII. It's frightening.

Hello Ladies!! It's me again.?
What is the "BLACK HOLE"? Hey, I'm being serious here, this question relates to astronomy (I'm talking about the stars on the sky...I can't be any more clear than this) so get your mind out of the gutter. I know it's part of the "BIG BANG THEORY"...I think that when the stars are being borned theoretically. My other question is are the 12 months based on 12 constellations in the universe? If so, how do astronomists calculate # of hours in a day, # of days in a month, # of seasons in a year?. I know that the earth is approximately about 4.6 billion year old and 1st living microorganisms exist approximately about 2.5 million years ago. My last questions are how did the earth evolve? and how do astronomists determine the earth's age? Because of no one was borned way back then, how did they conduct this study? If so what are their methods and hypothesis?
My bad these questions are not for the ladies b/c I know you ladies gonna say somethings like "Ah, cuz God creates dis world"
Hello Ladies!! It's me again.?
A black hole is a super dense hole in space with an extremely powerful gravitational pull (not even light can escape). The 12 months come from the ancient Romans, and to the best of my knowledge aren't related to constellations. Life on Earth evolved from a "chemical soup" of elements. These elements cam together to form amino acids, which formed proteins, which over billions of year multiplied and evolved into the 10 million + species on earth today.
Reply:I doubt that anyone will answer your question or even want to. Take yourself over to the nearest college and ask the geniuses there. I'm sure many would like to hypothesize with you.
Reply:black hole is something that matter can not escape from.
i think the 12 months are loosely based on the 12 constellations. the 12 zodiac signs. but it varies between cultures. each day is 1 rotation of the earth as in sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset. and each year is 1 complete rotation of the earth about the sun. and then they decided to divide it into 12 months. and decided to divide each day into 24 hours. (i forgot why). and um earth evolved cuz stuff kept being born and dieing cuz it couldnt survive, and slowly the genes started changing so they could survive. and it kept doing that. and scientists have studied that and they know approximately how long that takes and they have a theory that the earth is approximately 4-5billion years wrong. or someone just made up that number and theres no way anybody will know anywayz so. ya. so itz mainly just extrapolation. i think. or i just made up these answers and theres no way u would know anywayz so :D.

Reply:The simple explanation....a black hole is formed when a star looses it's energy and implodes. I don't know if you're being a smart *** or being serious, but if you are serious I would suggest getting the book Black Holes and Baby Universes by Stephen Hawkings...the man is a genious!!
