The Vietnam War was an event with lasting effects. The U.S. troops participated from 1961 until 1975 where over 58,000 Americans were killed according to the U.S Department of Veteran Affairs. This war created a divide amongst the American people with so many opposed to the war because they claim that the cost of war and casualties was too high. Many believed, in addition, that the U.S. should not have involved themselves because the war did not directly affect America. For these reasons and many more, it caused a lot of traumas; not only for veterans but even regular citizens. Due to this, when U.S. involvement with the Iraq War started in 2003 (Riedel), many began drawing parallels between it and the Vietnam War and Anna Quindlen was among them.Anna Quindlen, an opinion columnist with a Pulitzer prize for commentary, wrote an article titled “We’ve Been Here Before.” Her overall goal, in this article, is to convince the reader that the Vietnam and Iraq War are alike as well as catastrophic. Her argument that the two wars are alike is erroneous in nature since there are many significant differences to be listed. Quindlen lacks reputable evidence because she lets her emotions write the article so she spews out personal attacks; there is a clear tone of anger. She accuses the president of wanting the Iraq War to only be about policy without backing this stance and she uses her friend’s statements to support her argument though he isn’t an expert on the matter. Quindlen makes a few good points in the article

First, I’d like to commend all the actresses and actors on their excellent performances and voices, but, as always, there were some that stood out more than others. I thought Hannah Eckert and Joe Campbell, playing Jimmy and Billie, did and excellent job working with each other. Their duets were beautifully sung and had great synchronization, especially during the song ’S Wonderful which had them, perfectly synchronized, dancing up and down the stairs in what I believed to be a difficult dance number. Also, I’d like to comment on Tony Frenchu and Melanie Bratsch performances, who were clearly the audiences favorite, and mine, due to the amount of cheering and the standing ovation they received. Tony was perfect as cookie with his tall frame

According to Lady Gaga’s song, “Because baby I was born this way”, I find it astounding how Dalia Mogahed comments differently, referring to her spiritual faith as a Muslim. Mogahed states that being Muslim is a choice. I can agree as a Mexican American how many people think various opinions when they see an individual practice their faith accordingly and grasp their convictions. Despite the differences of religions, all spiritual practices receive negative thoughts and perspectives. A variety of people believe Muslims and so as for any other religion,that they are being enslaved or forced to display their faith. However, I strongly agree with Mogahed, we should join to fight the negative perceptions of faith “because baby I wasn’t born this

Fitzgerald likely included this descriptive passage regarding Gatsby’s car to highlight the society’s wealth-based priorities. Moreover, by employing parallelism within the first two sentences of the quote, he highlights the value and emphasis placed on material possessions. Ava Slade built on this idea well in the class discussion, stating that “No one attended [Gatsby’s funeral] because everyone in the society was too focused on attaining wealth and belongings from him rather than forming meaningful relationships.” Her ideas emphasize Fitzgerald’s detailed descriptions by specifically highlighting how wealth was the priority for all members of society, even during a time of tragedy. Overall, the straining, wealth-driven expectations led to the downfall of many individuals within the society.

Music is a way many people express themselves. Some people can relate to music because it lets them know that someone else experiences those emotions too. In Alessia Cara’s song, Scars to Your Beautiful, she makes sure there’s a strong, powerful message that women and young girls, guys too, can relate to. I choose this song because it has a deep message. Scars to Your Beautiful lets young girls and women know that they don’t need to look like models to be considered beautiful.
