Based on the policy of deinstitutionalization, many state hospitals were closed and replaced by community mental health centers or residential treatment facilities. Pattern of Development: ____________________ Justification: _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ The earliest box camera had four essential parts—shutter, lens, box, and film—and three essential steps. When a picture was taken, the shutter opened, allowing light to enter. Then the lens, a circular piece of glass, focused the light so it passed through the box. In the third and final step, the light-sensitive film at the back of the box received and recorded the image.

There are blue, pink, and purple swirls, spinning and twisting, like clouds of balloons caught in a whirlwind. The sun moves slowly to hide behind the line of horizon, while the moon races to take its place in prominence atop the night sky. People slow to a crawl, entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that must still be done. There is a coolness, a calmness, when the sun does set. Pattern of Development: ____________________ Justification: _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 4 The animal kingdom is divided up into groups called phyla (phylum is the singular.) Single-celled animals like amoeba, for instance, belong to the phylum called Protozoa while sponges belong to the category labeled Porifera, and round worms are classified as Nemanthelminthes. Clams and snails belong to the category called Mollusca, and insects are grouped under the heading Arthropoda. And what category are humans in? Humans, along with fish, birds and reptiles, belong to the category Chordata.

The medical and psychological effects are obvious. Addicts cannot function as normal members of the community. They neglect or abuse their families, and eventually require expensive treatment or hospitalization. The second effect is on crime. Huge police resources are needed to fight smuggling and dealing. Criminal gangs and mafia underworlds develop with the money from drugs. However, the menace of drugs can be fought. Education is the first battle. Children need to be told at home and in school about drugs. People need to be aware of the effects so that they can avoid this problem. A second approach is to increase police manpower and create effective laws to stop dealers. Paragraph 6 Pattern of Development: ____________________ Justification: _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Before you go camping in Florida, plan. Don’t wind up in the wilds when you want to be near Disney World, and don’t wind up on a concrete RV pad when you really want the forest primeval. Find out what parks are available, and what they are like. Get good information on what to expect, and what your options are. This can make all the difference in the quality of your vacation. Paragraph 7 Pattern of Development: ____________________ Justification: _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 8 In 2001 Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who took part in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, was released from prison. Megrahi’s act had resulted in the death of all 259 people on board, and he had been sentenced to life. However, because he was suffering from incurable prostate cancer the Scottish Judge Kenny MacAskill decided Megrahi was deserving of compassionate release. According to MacAskill, Megrahi’s condition obliged the court to show mercy, especially since the man would soon be judged by a “higher power.” Pattern of Development: ____________________ Justification: _______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Tel.

That is, a series of specific examples leads to a general conclusion. If you believe, for example, that hip-hop culture has gone mainstream, you might cite a series of examples that leads to that conclusion. For example, you could discuss hip-hop music in chain-store advertising, the language of hip-hop gaining widespread acceptance, and entertainers from many different backgrounds integrating elements of hip-hop into their music.

By contrast, Lloyd Beach State Recreation Area, near Fort Lauderdale, is dominated by the oily bodies of sun-worshippers who crowd into it every summer weekend. Where O’Leno gives you so much quiet you can hear the leaves whispering, Lloyd Beach is a place of boisterous activity. You can walk a few yards in O’Leno and pass beyond every sign of human civilization. When you walk at Lloyd Beach, you have to be careful to step over the picnic baskets, umbrellas, jam boxes, and browning bodies. At night, O’Leno wraps itself with the silence of crickets and owls. Lloyd Beach is busy with fishermen till well past midnight. If you want to fish near town, or dive into the busy bustle of an urban beach, Lloyd Beach is the place to go. But if you want to stand at the edge of civilization and look across time into an older natural world, O’Leno is the park to visit.

Best friends tell each other secrets they would be unlikely to tell anyone else. Betray that confidence, and the friendship can end overnight. If a best friend’s romance goes down in flames, don’t date the ex. No matter what your friend says, he or she will not be happy about the two of you getting together. Finally, if your best friend confides in you about a problem, don’t immediately come up with a solution. Sometimes friends just want a listener, not a problem solver.
