Since they are active in standing up for their rights as well as the rest of the citizens, they succeed in changing the government. In contrast, in “It is Dangerous to Read Newspapers” the author explains

Family Vacation It was winter of 2010 during Super Bowl week. My family; Mom, Keith, Hunter, Alyssa, Eric, Lucas and I were driving to Minneapolis, Minnesota to have a family trip. Every year we go out of state to have a family trip. When we were in the car it took us almost five hours to get there and my legs were hurting so I tried to stretch my legs underneath the passenger seat to get rid of the pain in my knees. The ride was boring so all I did was go on my Ipod playing video games or listen

“A Good Man Down,” written by Lee Jenkins, is about a small Iowa town and how they come together and cope in times of despair. Ed Thomas was not only the high school football coach but probably the most respected men in the town. It seems as this man would do anything to help out his community. Unfortunately, Thomas was shot by Mark Becker, a former athlete, on June 24, 2009. In fact, Mark’s brother was playing for Thomas at the time of the murder. In this piece of writing, Jenkins uses all three

The most common used drug is cannabis, mostly known as marijuana. Manijuana has been around for many years. Mostly all high school students have tried marijuana, some like it and get addicted as for others they might try it and not like it at all. In today’s society some kids have even tried it as early as middle school. Marijuana is a drug that’s been around for many years, and it is still very common.

The Young in the 1960’s Many people believe the 1960s, were the golden age but, contrary, by the end of the decade, it seemed like the The United States was falling apart. That could be one of the reason why different groups were growing with new ideas, demands and of course many reforms. Student activists became more and more radical. They protested over colleges, massive antiwar demonstrations and occupied various public places to make their revolutionary ideas visible and to be heard. In

My older sister Mandy met her husband Gabe when she was 14 years old. By the time Mandy was 21, she was married with two children and lived a comfortable life. In 2010, Gabe was injured at his job and was no longer able to work. Gabe tried to find odd jobs around the neighborhood to help supplement his disability income, but in the meantime his relationship with Mandy was falling apart. In 2014, Mandy and Gabe decided to put their house up for sale, and move into a new home. Mandy and Gabe looked

governments have been oppressing their people. Although their reasons for doing so may have been different, the outcomes were all the same: a revolt of the people. There are many examples of this throughout history, such as in the French Revolution and the American Revolution. The Hunger Games, a tale of a dystopian society filled with maltreatment by “The Capitol,” displays the path to insurrection triggered by the mounting cases of misery brought on by their government, that was attacking lower classes

It’s not easy to experience the loss of a loved one. It’s a time of deep sadness and sorrow that brings family and friends together to say their last good byes.

Napoleon 1799-1804 The years 1799-1804 in France were forever marked by Napoleon's ascension to power and subsequent rule. Napoleon and his actions became essentially the driving force of France whenever he was in power. Everything that happened went through him, and nothing was without his oversight.
