My father has basically had me on a leash since the day I was born. It is tradition for Albanian parents to be overly protective of their child because they want their child to be safe. My dad has only recently allowed me to start going on with certain people. When I go out, my parents constantly call me to check in on me, usually 4-5 times in an hour. My father put a global positioning tracking device in my vehicle to know where I am at all times, he urine tests me every week to make sure I'm not going down the wrong path, he grounds me when I do any small thing.
He viewed a track that was beyond the days of dirt racing and whisky running. His paved dream would attract not only racers but also the fans that adored them. So he and he alone set out to create NASCAR’s first Super Speedway. Characters of “Thunder in Carolina”, Mitch Cooper and Les York clearly portray how stock car racing was much more than a sport. The two men devote all of their time to racing, and base their lives around the sport.
Dirt flying! Cars racing! Engines roaring! These are all thing that I love, which is why the two careers that I have chosen are Stock car racing and mechanics. I have raced my truck since the day I got it and I love going fast.

Lastly, I think Ralph had the best idea about the beast. He convinced himself that there is no beast, but is not sure. He calls meetings to talk about it and find solutions. He explains to the other people on their level; he says that he too, is scared. This is the best way to go because instead of becoming slaves of fear, he tries to help the boys resolve their problem.

Being at a racetrack brings happiness to my life. On April 7, 2002, I got the opportunity to run my first practice session of the year. When we drove through the pit gate, a comforting sense of familiarity set in, the sight of new faces and old faces, seeing the different paint schemes or the same paint schemes on cars is quite a sight to me. Seeing my pit crew for the first time this year was cool. The smell of burnt rubber, race fuel, and grease filled the air.
Kids cannot wait to get their driver’s licenses, celebrities are always looking for the hottest (and most expensive) car, and families want to be up-to-date with the latest technology in cars. Cars advertisements are effective because they develop a need in consumers, and are not as effective if the ads do not contain a picture or video; Further, the older ads appeal to the same needs as the newer ads, however the ads have changed over time. In the 1975 Chevrolet commercial, the song and announcer basically tell the audience watching the commercial that the Chevrolet is as American as baseball, apple pie, and hotdogs. This tells the audience the car is something that the consumers need in order to be fully American. The Chevrolet commercial had a catchy tune and would probably be a good radio advertisement, but it was much better with the video that went along with it.
Because it does not appear to be a primary issue, the state commission has limited patrol over this problem. This is an issue because it allows the racing industry to continue growing without ceasing it. The moral issues with this are the treatment of the greyhound dogs. They are kept in confined kennels with limited resources for up to 16 hours per day. Also, in order to be successful in this sport, you need to have the fastest dog.
This also proves that the monster is extremely self-sufficient because he did not require the help of anyone else and entirely taught himself the language in a remarkably short amount of time. Although the monster is an independent creature, he longs to fit in to society. This is demonstrated when he admits that “Sometimes I wished to express my sensations in my own mode, but the uncouth and inarticulate sounds which broke from me frightened me into silence again.” (Shelley, 85) The monster was so insecure that when he tried to speak he scared himself. This puts him in no position to be confident enough to reveal himself to the cottagers, or anyone else for that matter. This put him at a distinct disadvantage when trying to gather to strength and self-assurance to approach the cottagers whom he had grown to love.
