Located between the Banda and Timor Sea, lies a small nation called Timor-Leste a.k.a. East Timor, which is part of an island known as Timor. In 1520, the Portuguese were first settling into Timor; a little before the year 1860, Portugal and Netherlands fought for the land of Timor but with an 1860 treaty, it divided Timor into West and East Timor. East Timor was given to the Portuguese while West Timor belonged to the Netherlands. After 455 years of Portugal colonizing East Timor, Portugal suddenly withdrew their rule which lead the island to be completely vulnerable.

“Meditation 17,” by John Donne and “I am a Rock,” by Simon and Garfunkel, are two works of art that focus on the same theme. Each piece attempts to describe what the best conditions are in order to achieve a good life. Both works exhibit imagery, appeal to emotion, and conceits to prove their opinion and claims. Although these methods are helpful, repetition is the most beneficial persuasive method. “I am a Rock” and “Meditation 17” use the method of repetition to persuade and build an individual’s claims.
Clearly, the pope is advocating a new standard of who is and who isn’t Christian. It is obvious they’re his personal opinion because even Jesus did not set such a standard. That standard will change when he has a new agenda that is dear to his heart. The pope was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires when the earthquake hit Haiti and he did not advocate for all Haitians who desired to start a new life in Argentina to be issued hardship visas.
According to the Saylor organization, The UN and the United Sates gave several justifications for why they have intervened in the conflict, the most raised being the Iraqi contravention of Kuwaiti territorial integrity .

Cameron RenfrowEnglish 310 August 2016Zika Should Not Keep Athletes From Rio 2016 The Zika Virus has caused panic among many travelers and athletes that consider going to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The 2016 Olympics is a big deal to every country and the Zika Virus should not keep spectators and athletes away. The Summer Olympics only comes around every four years and skipping out would mean waiting double the time. Travelers have not sufficiently considered the details associated with the Zika Virus, which include the Zika Virus already being in over 50 countries already, Rio de Janeiro was not an area of large breakout, and the atlases are staying in air conditioned rooms so insects cannot get in if the windows are kept closed, and as a result, the Zika Virus should not be a

Alrighty so when you hear the word alien what's the first thing that comes to mind? Little green alien dudes right? Well that's exactly the topic im gonna talk about. Aliens are used commonly in movies tv shows also they are even apart of a religion. Raëlism is a religion founded a long time ago by a man named Claude Vorilhon who lived in France. He was just strolling down the streets minding his own beeswax when he was abducted by aliens. I'm pretty sure his first thought was oh shoot im gonna die what do they want with me. He was told by these aliens that they will come back one day to the earth they created and show everyone the true purpose of this world.. so his mission was to spread the word and to make sure everyone knows of our true creators. Now try comparing raelism to christianity. Kinda hard isn't it? Well there or some major similarities and

The last time I saw Charlie outside prison walls we were on the run. Charlie was on the run, not I, I just went along for the ride because he was my husband. Charlie was on parole, but he loved to drink his booze. In our state it's a violation to drink while on parole.
With NFL Players kneeling everywhere and soldiers feeling unappreciated, our country is in shock. It all started by a player named Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, in 2016. This event persuaded numerous NFL players to continue this process. One by one, players all over the league began to protest to call attention to the issues of "racial inequalities and police brutality". With mixed reviews of this protest, I believe that kneeling during the National Anthem of the United States of America is disrespectful because it is abrasive, selfish, and hurtful. Also, I am not sure that all of those protesting in this manner know the true meaning of our national anthem or the flag that represents our freedom.
