Peters, Eric. "Should the driving age de raised to 18?." Blog. motorists.org. National Motorists Association, 23 Oct. 2008. Web. 1 Apr. 2011. <http://blog.motorists.org/should-the-driving-age-be-raised-to-18/>.
This article appeared on my Google result list when I used the words “legal driving age”. Eric Peters is an automotive columnist and author of Automotive Atrocities: The Cars You Love to Hate (Motor Books International) and a new book, Road Hogs. Peters argues that although teenagers have their fair share of wrecks, they should have more driving experience rather than less, and therefore have should start driving early. He also argues that youth is not the main problem behind accidents involving young drivers but rather inadequate instruction. Peters seems very anti regulations, and lumps legal driving age with speed limit, seat belt laws, drunk driving, smoking drugs, etc…

Devoirs pour vendredi 7 janvier
Think of a possible story (2 pages) and create an outline for your next writing assignment: a narrative (fiction). If you don’t have any ideas, you can use one of the following prompts (sentence to be included in the text):
1. She rolled over and felt her body push up against something hard and solid.
2. My sister disappeared on August 28, 1998.
3. Sonny jumped up against the chain link, wagging his tail furiously.
4. Mom says it happens to all girls, but I think she’s just trying to make me feel normal.
5. I’ve been to nine planets in twelve years and it’s starting to show.
6. They say Old Weezie’s been reading palms out of her run-down shack for a hundred years or more.
7. The ball dislodged a stone in the wall and revealed an old looking letter.
8. Ashley stared at the fruit, so lost in amazement she didn’t comment on its size.
Your outline needs to follow the organization presented in class:
• Exposition (setting / characters / basic situation)
• Rising actions (events that introduce the conflict/struggle and increase the tension)
• Climax (story high point, at which outcome becomes clear)
• Falling out (events that follow the climax)
• Resolution (Final outcome + tying up all lose ends)
As we studied with From Barrio boy, outline can be just titles of your future paragraphs, followed by a topic sentence or two to indicate the main content of each paragraphs.

Also, think of the "culture" of your story, and how you will insert cultural annotations. Culture can describe a specific generation / a group of people (rappers / skaters / teenagers), a time period (Middle ages, 60’s, futuristic,..), a place (school, Eugene, France, somewhere in Africa, etc....).
