The other night there was a tragic accident that occured in Lincoln. An elderly man was driving his motorcycle, it hit a curb and ended with him skidding, rolling, hitting his head and dying. It was reported that he was wearing no helmet, which could have saved his life. It is a tragic accident, but maybe this man deserved it as he was going against the law and not being safe. There have been too many occuring accidents involving motorcycle deaths, especially dealing with cases that the motorcyclists were wearing no helmets. It is unfortunate that people are unaware of safety and the law. I have always been afraid of riding any type of motorcycle because of the high accident rate. Many close friends and relatives relating to driving motorcyles have gotten severely injured and died because motorcycles are very unsafe, even if the motorcyclist is wearing safety gear. It is unfortunate that such 'vehicles' have been invented when they are not safe. I would hope that in the future there will be significant changes in addressing the safety issues regarding motorcycles.

Emily, I think you did a very good job with this project because you followed the assignment perfectly and did not give too much of a narration about the story. You did a very good job of relating the story to you and how you have felt towards motorcycles because of the personal loss you have suffered from family and loved ones being in accidents. I wish I could write as well as you.
