Comparison: Driving is a Wave










Driving is an ocean wave because it is filled with power and the ability for beauty as well as the ability for destruction. An ocean wave is usually filled with a calming beauty that can overwhelm you because of the relaxing sounds and feelings that it emits, but within minutes, the wave can become something destructive and lethal that can frighten you. Driving is just like an ocean wave because driving has similar qualities. Driving can be a very calming activity that is filled with beauty and excitement because of the feeling you receive while driving. The sounds of a car being driven along a smooth road can be very calming, but, within seconds, driving can turn into something horrible. If you don't pay attention, you can become victim of an unexpected crash that could lead to injuries or even death. Driving and an ocean wave are both very wondrous events that both have the same qualities.

Cause and Effect: Driving While Texting




In the last few decades, car crashes have become a huge event. Everyday when checking the news or listening to the radio you will hear about how one road or another is closed down due to a car crash. Lately, texting while driving in a car and not paying attention has become a huge issue. The texting while driving can often lead to a car crash. The car crash was influenced when someone was not paying attention to the road because they were texting while driving and then they lost control of their own car and crashed into another car or object. This event can have many outcomes, including fatal ones, such as the driver feeling horrible for what he or she did, someone involved in the car wreck being injured, or even a death. As you can see, an event, such as a car crash, can have many influences and outcomes and one must be very careful.
