Therefore I would have labeled the wife as a prime suspect and analyzed all of the possibilities. I would also ask the wife if they had had any arguments lately. Then after that I would question all the people that have come into contact wih the detective in the past month. Then I would come to a logical conclusion. And that would be that wife killed him

“First Persuasive Paragraph.”

Students should be able to play sports if they have low grades. Grades should not have anything to to with a students ability to participate in extracuricular activities such as sports. The reason for that being is that their are alot of benefits associated with students who play sports. Some students are just not mentally able to  meet the academic requirements to be able to play sports. If a student participates in sports it can help teach them alot of valuable life lessons such as perseverance and the knowledge of how to live a  healthy life. The bottom line is that grades can get in the way of a great opportunity for a student to be a part of something greater than themselves.

Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobodys gonna mess me round
Hey satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey momma, look at me
Im on my way to the promised land
OWWW
