It is always astounding to me how much a person can go through, still persevere, and survive. Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s novel is a great example of this. Throughout the novel, Ivan Denisovich, a Russian Solder that has been wrongly accused of treason, is a prisoner of a Siberian labor camp. He must not only learn to survive on limited food, hard labor, and negative forty-degree weather, but he must learn to keep his identity in a place where the guards refer to him as a serial number, Shcha-854.…

because they are controversial and expensive. Larger countries such as Russia and China who already have nukes have shown little intention of giving them up. President Obama is trying to make the world nuclear weapon-free but it doesn’t seem like that is going to happen any time soon. Since those countries do not plan on giving up their nuclear weapons the United States is doing the right thing in helping countries such as Russia and Pakistan keep their nuclear weapons safe and out of enemy…

The Russia that…

boy - do sports and be ‘manly’” is what I have been told many times in my previous schools in Russia. Russia, a world leading superpower, still relies on gender roles to allow society to function efficiently. Living in Singapore for eight years has put me far ahead of my peers in my home country.
