My friends and I were at school when we got the news.
“Guys I just got a notification” said Anna.
“What is it?” asked Monse
“Grey’s Anatomy was just banned!” Shouted Anna
We were all confused and devastated when Anna said this. In our country we didn’t have must justice and the only thing that was getting my friends and I past all this was our show. When I turned around so did everyone else around us.
“Are you sure that isn’t fake?” I asked “Let me see.”
“I'm sure Barbara check for yourself.” Anna said.
I grabbed her phone, she was right because people around us were getting the same notifications. I gave Anna her phone back.
“Ladies I would put the phone away that isn’t allowed in school campus.” Said the principal.

“Girls go to bed now its late.” Said Stephanie’s mom
“Ok, goodnight Mrs.Barrera,” We said together.
We turned off the lights and went to sleep in our sleeping bags. I was still awake.
“Stephanie,” I whispered but no answer “Destiny,”
“Yes?” responded Destiny.
“I can’t sleep.” I said.
“Well I can goodnight.” said Destiny
I simled and laughed quietly. The rest of the night was silent. I layed there with shine of moonlight on my face. Eventually I fell asleep.
In the morning nobody said a word. We were focused on getting the signs and posters ready. It was 8:00 in the morning and Destiny’s mom was outside of Stephanie’s house in her Jeep.
“Hope on in girls.” Mrs. Rodriguez said.
“Good Morning mom.” responded Destiny.
“Good morning Mrs.Rodriguez.” we all said together.
“Good morning.” Said Mrs.Rodriguez.
The whole card ride was silent. We got to the town hall and Destiny’s mom dropped us off and went a few blocks down to the mall. To our surprise people were already there protesting. We got our signs and joined along. Everyone was protesting so loud I couldn’t hear myself. I saw Anna trying to tell us something but we couldn’t hear her.We were getting squished so that didn’t help. Then Everyone started to get silent. Police cars were surrounding the town hall.
“Guys the police is here,” Destiny whispered. “Let's find a way out.”
“I told you guys this was going to happen.” whispered Stephanie
“You
It took her a moment, but when she realized it was her alarm blaring and vibrating on the floor across the room, she shrieked and jumped out of bed, running to her phone.
“Emma, I can’t contact my Aunt because I don’t have my phone with me. What do I do?” Sammy asked desperately.
Freedom is how we are living, it’s how we stand, and it’s how we are free to speak out. In my opinion freedom means the power to act, speak, live, and think as we want without any harm or limit from somebody. Everyday citizens are working and doing hard labor to try and keep America civilized. I highly respect people who work and make an effort to maintain our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. America is Where everybody wants to go and is why people leave their hometown because of freedom. America is supposedly the land of the free. I feel though as if our nation is falling apart. As stated by John F. Kennedy, “America is filled with both crisis and opportunity.” This meaning you can make your “life experience” in America good or bad but there’s always hope. America can fall apart with terrorist attacks or events like 9/11 but these events is how we make allies and how the citizens of America work together as a team no matter your race, gender, experience, or status there is a job to be completed and that is the main reason how America gets stronger.
War, Slavery, Sexism, and Lack of freedom, these were the issues America has faced that put our country through an uproar. Present day America has been through several trials and tribulations in the past to get to the peaceful state it is today. Throughout the course of time America has been hit with unfortunate periods of feuds with countries near and far, determining how little freedom you have based on your gender or race, and in most cases having the government dictate what happens in your life. Despite our hardships, America took baby steps to improve its country. These little and small changes brought us on the journey to turn America into the powerful nation it is now. American history gave us hope for the future.
Silently they stand, tall, strong pillars of memory in a seemingly long since forgotten world. Rows upon rows of white marble glisten in the first rays of the rising sun. The shimmer of morning frost still graces their elegant arches as the brisk air begins to take on a slightly warmer tone. In this quiet hour, not quite night, yet still not day, one lone man stands respectfully next to a small, almost insignificant grave stone. His head hangs slightly bowed, and except for the small hunch in his back, he stands at perfect attention.
America is the universal symbol of freedom. But is it really free? Does the history of the United States stay true to the ideas of our forefathers? Or has the definition been altered to fit American policies? Has freedom defined America? Or has America defined freedom? I believe America was at first defined by freedom, then after time, America defined freedom, altering the definition to fit the niche it fits in, but still keeping key components so it still seems to be staying true to the ideas of America’s founding fathers.
What do you think of when you hear the word “freedom”? America was made on the foundations of liberty and freedom. We are pioneers, who fought for the separation of England to be our own country. To be without strict laws and restrictions so we could prosper and become a country of freedom and pride. All the soldiers from now that protect us from terrorist organizations to patriots that broke the English rule over the colonies. America has witnessed many deaths and losses but has become the greatest and most feared country on the face of the Earth.
I think The Brave New World largely defines freedom through the structures that prevent freedom and has come to serve as the false symbol for any regime of universal happiness. Huxley warns that our government might try to control our ideas in many ways that involve them deciding what might happen in regards to our health care and even the way we control our money, to name a few examples. In the article, you belong to one of the five groups into which all citizens of the Brave New World are divided by heredity and conditioning, each with its own rank and intelligence range. Many people in the novel are conditioned though a variety of techniques that starts when they are babies through aversion therapy, or in more extreme measures, the conditioning
Advancing freedom worldwide is a long held priority of the United States. As such, America prides itself as a role model to other nations by serving as a symbol of the merits of freedom and equal rights. An example of this came in 1945 after the collapse of the Nazi empire. During this time, the city of Berlin was split into East and West Berlin.
The functionality and success of the American democracy is dictated by the fundamental rights outlined in the Constitution. These rights have been utilized by American citizens on numerous occasions throughout the centuries when advocating for these critical rights. However, questions started to arise when high school students started exercising these rights in their high schools, specifically their right to free speech and expression. The right of high school students to freedom of speech became an issue when their speech began to disrupt the school day and, as a result, teachers began to restrict it. Tinker vs. Des Moines, the landmark case advocating for students’ right to free speech, as well as Bethel vs. Fraser, the case ruling that students don’t have the same first amendment rights as adults, have been instrumental in dictating the outcome of future court cases regarding the right to freedom of speech of high school students. The exchange of information and exposure to new and different ideas is critical to students’ education and should be protected. However, if the freedom of speech infringes upon the need to maintain a safe learning environment, should it be protected? In my opinion, interpretations of Tinker have proved to be too restrictive on the First Amendment rights of students. The right to freedom of speech is a core right of the American
Throughout history freedom has had many different meanings and definitions; based on race, gender, and ethnicity. According to the dictionary freedom means the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint (“freedom” def. 1). Freedom may seem like something given to everyone however it was something workers had to fight for. Not everyone believed that workers’ rights needed to be changed, which led to a long battle between workers, employers and the government. To the working class people freedom meant making higher wages, having regulated hours, workable conditions and the right to free speech.
The constitution of the United States of America gives me the right to freedom because I am a United States citizen. I consider "freedom" to be my right to express myself in any way I choose. Freedom is defined as "having liberty of action or thought, independent". "Self-governed or not controlled by an outside party" is another definition of freedom. Freedom has a different meaning to each individual thus making it hard to find a clear concise definition.
“Anna’s mother and brother have been murdered” Mrs. Cuzak says “Umm. Wait, what?” I say. “They’ve been murdered, Anna’s mother and brother.” she replies. “She heard you the first time.” Anna yells. I didn’t even realize she was in here. “OMG!! Anna, are you okay.” “Oh yes. I’m just so freaking happy, whipee. My families dead, my families dead!!!!!” Anna yells. “That’s not what I meant.” I tell her. “Well then you should probably say what you mean the first time, so
of us fail to cherish and value our granted freedom. Many of us do not
We also started sharing our moments, fun and sad experiences and our dreams in the future. It’s one of the best feeling ever, opening up your kept thoughts in your mind. After that, we proceeded in the tent to rest. However, before we sleep, we chatted for any random topic. We were shivering in the cold breeze that night and I suggested them not to turn off the flashlight, because I can’t sleep without any light. Then, the next day we rise up at 5 in the morning and prepared our things for our leaving in the
