MR B HOMEWORK The City of Brotherly Love"
This city is no longer the City of Brotherly Love. I say that because to many people are getting killed,raped and etc.We cannot say this city is full of love because its full of violence and that is far from love.In this article I think that there are alot of hidden agenda's in the PPD (Philadelphia Police Department). Why should three men be charged with 1st degree if they didn't even kill the cop something just isn't right. I think all the violence going on need to stop and go to rest. If nothing is done i don't think there is that good of a future ahead of us.

Autobiography on my life
Hi my name is Dwayne McCutchen and i was born in Philadelphia Pa at Germentown hospital. My parents Dwayne McCutchen Sr and Shena Conyers. My parents are both single parents. Elementary school was when i first started playing sports and that was a big part of my life. But as the years went by i experienced some sad things that kind of took me down.
In Middle school i was on all the sports teams and that's probably because i been playing sports since i was six. But the problem was my dad had to go away for a year and he was the reason i started playing sports and things just wasn't the same. But the goal i want to accomplish is to make it to be a professional baseball or basketball player.
In September 2008 was when i started high school and still was playing sports. I was a freshmen and was on the basketball team. In addition this was my year to be the best i could be but my dad did not come home until the end of the year. So now i have to try and turn things around because iam not doing so good.
I have a major goal i want to accomplish and that's to be a professional baseball or basketball player. I want to do that because i been playing sports for a while and believe i have a chance to make it. In addition my dad was a big influence on me playing sports and i believe i have the talent to succeed.
My last paragraph I'm going to be about when i lost 2 special people my uncle and my aunt. I lost my aunt wen i was like 7 and i just lost my uncle this year. I never really seen my aunt alot but i loved her and she meant alot to me. Furthermore my uncle its to much to explain i seen him so much and when he came over he always was there when i needed him.
