Tyler Terror was no villain, but he wasn't a hero either. He was what is called an antagonistic anti-hero. Chaotic Neutral. The halfway point between insanity and heroism. He had nothing to do with anything but he still managed to get himself into trouble. He was quite a peculiar child and even more of a peculiar adult. Perhaps the most unusual thing about him was his journal. He never kept a real journal, in which one would put real journal entries about one's daily life and noteworthy anecdotes. Instead, he kept a rather odd journal, in which he wrote down his rather odd experiences. He didn't write in it daily, but whenever he felt drawn to it, he would take the journal out from under his tired, old mattress and simply write.
The entries would usually be short; always just one or two sentences and never more than seven. Now, many of these entries have made readers quite uncomfortable

First off, it is important to understand that Tyler Terror was not always Tyler Terror. Once, he was Tyler M. Quinn (his more popular name came about later on in his life, when he became something horrendous). He was presumably a young boy when his schizophrenia first began to embed itself into his mind. He was about eight or nine years old. His paranoid behavior was dismissed as simply a child's fear of the bogeyman creeping in his closet. Tyler would lay in bed with his eyes and mind wide open, a blanket pulled up to his shoulders, and a flashlight under his pillow.
He was a gleeful young boy, and, as did many gleeful young boys, he loved to play games. He lived in a lovely two-story home in the suburbs with a pleasant neighborhood around his home. His neighbors were amiable and there were two other children on McAllister Drive. One, Nicole, lived on the corner of his street, and the other, Jackson, lived across the street and one house to the right. They would often play together and they enjoyed each other's company very

Three great accomplishments done by the Soviets that should be remembered and out into Soviet textbooks are their space races, military strength, and the Great Terror. The Soviet Union was the first country to ever send space satellites. At the time not even the United States had made any discoveries involved with space. Next to the space race discoveries, the Soviets also had extremely well military strength. They did spend more than the U.S but the advancement in their military strength was greatly larger. Both accomplishments were amazing but another life changing event that should be placed into Soviet textbooks is the Great Terror. The great terror was a tragic time for the Soviets and for it to be remembered by their future generation

The kids always played near the local woods, filled with abandon little homes and shacks and long pine trees that reached to the sky. As the children shrieked, a flock of crows answered back with a loud “crow.” The children also felt a sense of freedom as flew around the air as the kids began running until their feet ached. The game that they always played was hide-and-seek which only George and the kids only knew.

The Reign of Terror, which lasted about a year, was part of the French Revolution. Leaded by Maximilien Robespierre, the Reign of Terror was the beheading of thousands of people who followed the king. Believed to start on September 5, 1793, the Reign of Terror was meant to eliminate all who were thought to conspire against the revolution. During the Terror as it is also called, thousands upon thousands were executed by guillotine, most of which were from the first and second estates. Many famous figures such as Marie Antoinette and Jean-Paul Marat. Also during the Reign of Terror the Committee of Public Safety was created and gradually became the de-facto war-time government.

You may know him from Space Jam or you may know him from his phenomenal skills on the basketball court with the Bulls.

The aroma of fresh-cut grass and bark dust swarm the streets surrounding the local park. Teenagers running on the large, open field playing football, soccer, and every sport in between. Away from the lush green field, lives a playground with the classic swings, slides, see-saws, and jungle gym where all kids act like wild animals. Looking far in the distance, in a house across the street, lived a sick boy who dreamed to spend countless hours at the park. Paul Missal wishes he could join the fun, but instead lives with the entertainment of his mother. One day, the sad little Paul was brought to the attention of his worried mother, as she stated, "Well, I will teach you how to draw." She first taught him how to draw a Fir Tree. Soon after, Missal 's face glowed with excitement shouting, "Oh, I can draw this, this is incredible!" From that day on he struggled to put the pencil down, only until he picked up a brush. Throughout the years of high school, he continued his ambitions in music and art, when he couldn 't do anything else like sports. His passion of art continued to grow, while he carried on his desire to attend art school to increase his artistic knowledge.
When President Bush called Americans to enlist in his "war on terror," very few citizens could have grasped the all-encompassing consequences of the proposition. The terrifying events of 9/11 were like a blinding flash, benumbing the country with a sudden knowledge of unimagined dangers. Strong action was recommended, skeptics were silenced and a shallow sense of unity emerged from the shared vulnerabilities. Nearly three years later, the enormity of Bush's summons to open-ended "war" is more obvious. It overwhelmed the country, in fact deranged society's normal processes and purposes with a brilliantly seductive political message: Terror pre-empts everything else.
Ever since the beginning of the terrorist attacks on American soil, the War on Terror has been involved in the lives of Americans and nations near us. The War on Terror’s background originated through conflicts between warring countries in the Middle East; U.S. involvement started when a terrorist guided plane crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 in New York City. The attack was suspected to be the work of the middle-eastern terrorist group Al-Qaeda. The U.S. military, under the leadership of then commander-in-chief George W. Bush, declared a “War on Terror” on the terrorist group and the fighting began.
