im not sure if we had to do this one....
i believe that in our jewish community conformity spreads liek wildfire. in our community people tend to follow others, mostly in a helping way. people often give charity to those who need it. we , as classmates also enjoy oneg shabat. during oneg shabat students will beg to go on next weeks oneg shabat. some students might do it to miss class, but others, like me, appreciate the oppurtunity of going to oneg shabat and doing chesed.
i believe that everbody in the class owns deotarant. i am forced to believe this because i do not smell foul odors in the classroom towards the end of the day, after a long days work in school

Life in New England is very difficult, especially if conformity is something that I look down upon. Everywhere I look I see change in the town of Boston, Massachusetts. People are being executed left and right for reasons that I cant comprehend. Our town is a puritan one and is supposedly honest. But over the years corruption has fallen upon the church and now they need a scapegoat for it. The scapegoat is unfortunately the lives of our fellow townspeople. This puritan town is so used to corruption that they don’t recognize that what they’re doing is even slightly unjust. My husband was one of the victims. He was an honest man that loved his reputation, and his name, more than life itself. He could only live with the truth and for that I admire him and do not regret any of his actions
