In the 20th century, American foreign policy in Vietnam is on the top of my list. The United States war in Vietnam was a lost cause. The American’s did not even gain anything from it, but lost lives both American and Vietnamese.

Hazel At lunch, I sat with Aera and Angel on the cement bench. We laughed as Angel showed us a video: Kermit Sings. “Dude,” Aera voiced. “This is everything.” Kermit sat on a stool, singing some rather disturbing songs to a group of children, driving one of them to tears. “Thanks for ruining my childhood,” I said after the video was over. “Any time,” Angel declared, cheerily. “I’m going to go find Jason and just scream ‘Billy!’” Aera laughed, jumping up to find Jason. “I wonder why I’m…

Hydraulic fracturing, or more commonly known as fracking, is a process of extracting natural gas from bedrock deep within the earth. There may be some downfalls, such as contaminated drinking water and earthquakes, but most of them are human errors and in the end the benefits of fracking outweigh the risks.

An argument can be made that by defending Tom Robinson, Atticus endangered his family; however, the trial helped cement in the children that the idea of racism is wrong. They may also argue that regarding his gun skills, hiding the truth from Jem and Scout was the wrong decision. I would counter that position by saying that Atticus meant to protect his children by…
