In the country of Panem, there is a place called the Capitol that rules over all other twelve districts. Every year, the Capitol makes each district put forth a girl and a boy aged twelve to eighteen. Those twenty-four kids will have to participate in the Hunger Games. The children are taken into an arena, where they fight each other to death. The one who lives, wins. However, last year they revoked the rule, and Peeta and Katniss were both allowed to win. Peeta and Katniss go back to their home…

For my cultural event I visited the aSHEville Museum, specifically I went to see the “Her Nobel Words” exhibit. An exhibit honoring sixteen women who have fought to make the world a better place and have been honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. I have visited this museum once before and thought this exhibit would be an interesting and encouraging event to invest my time in. It is also something that relates to the gender discussion in Humanities. The aSHEville Museum focuses on encouraging and…

To me, freedom is the power to conduct oneself as they chose. Now there are laws in place to keep other people safe from people who use their freedom to cause pain and despair. Freedom is the one thing that Americans will always have. Our four-fathers gained our independence and freedom from France and the King of Britain in the Revolutionary war in 1776-1783. Freedom means a lot to me because our ancestors fought for their family and the future of America. Now, two-hundred and thirty-two…

What would be the best way to honor 16 million war veterans? The United States choose to build an everlasting WWII memorial to honor those and their families who gave there life for this country and our freedom. Imagine if these men did not risk their lives and just did not care and we didn't win the war the world would be a mess and people would be telling us what to for everything in life. In 1987 a WWII Veteran approached Representative Marcy Kaptur a democrat from Ohio to ask to build a…

To that high concept there can be no end save victory. Franklin Delano Roosevelt”. There are millions of undocumented American children that desperately need the chance to become citizens of the United States of America.

“I hate America. I hate this country. It’s just big ideas, and stories, and people dying, and people like you. The white cracker who wrote the national anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word 'free' to a note so high nobody can reach it. That was deliberate. Nothing on earth sounds less like freedom to me. You come to room 1013 over at the hospital, I'll show you America. Terminal, crazy and mean. I live in America, that’s hard enough, I don’t have to love it. You do that. Everybody’s got…
