    Tom should tell the sheriff about the murder. Some reasons are that it is bothering Tom not telling the sheriff who was the actual murderer, it would be wrong for a innocent man to get hanged for a crime they did not commit, and it is also bad for a murder to be on the loose on the streets because he can commit more crimes. Some people would say that he should not tell because he could get killed or because he took an oath not to tell anyone, but even though he took that oath and could possibly get hurt or killed it is best for him to tell because what Injun Joe did was wrong and he should be punished for his actions and not Muff Potter who was accused for the crime.…

    As you read, it seems like every line is saying "Nothing Gold Can Stay"—just in a different way in each line, and that notion is quite radical. The title doesn't just say that most gold things don't last. It tells us that nothing and absolutely nothing, gold does. You might look at some gold jewelry and think to yourself, "I paid a lot of money for this jewelry, this will never fade" and you would probably be right. But this is not the kind of “gold” Robert Frost is talking about in the poem.…

    Ever since it was published in 1974, Robert Cormier’s The Chocolate War has been protested for years. Many teachers and parents believe that its portrayal of life and violence make the book too graphic for students. The continuous fight for control and power yield multiple conflicts between characters. The characters attitude between one another depict the overall moral of this book. I believe the novel should not be banned because readers should have the choice of reading the book or not.…

    Outside of school I generally enjoy reading non fiction books, mostly within the world of sports.

The book focused on how 3 men, Bill Belichick, Scott Pioli, and Thomas Dimittroff, stuck to an idea of how to build a football team through much scrutiny and eventually won several championships.…
