Historical Investigation, I chose my topic of the controversy behind the Tonkin Gulf Resolution because I had an interest in what may have influenced our defeat in the Vietnam War and I wanted to research a topic that not many people may know about. To find the information for my topic, I found a book, Vietnam: A History, which provided an overall perspective of the Vietnam war as a whole, and I found a book concentrating mainly on the controversy of the decision-making system in place, The…

Exquisite Captive is yet another one of…

The fact that Donald trump not only made it through the primaries but was elected to be president just really shows how racists this country still. I was watching SNL and Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock were in a sketch about election night and trumps victory and it really made me think. The white people in the sketch were so convinced that Hilary had it in the bag, but Chris and Dave knew what was going to happen because they understood that America is a racist country so racist people are going…

Rita’s work is a temporary NIACC art showcase that shows from February…

Before I tell you my situation where Mason and I were the bully, I want to let you know why I thought it was ok. My dad would pick on me like any parent would do when I was younger. His reasoning behind it, “I’m only preparing you for the future, when you get older and have boys picking on you, you can tell ‘em…
