My first time at Cedar Point It was June 6th, 2016, the end of my eighth-grade year at TKMS, I woke up, at 5:30, jumped out of bed, got dressed, ate, and yelled at my mom to get in the car, all by 6:20. But of course we weren’t even close to ready, and we didn’t even need to leave until 7:30. So after reluctantly going back inside, to pack a spare pair of clothes, sunscreen, and our tickets (which we almost forgot), we were finally ready to go and it was already 7:40, “MOM!!!” I yelled…

The Start of Civil War Civil war was one of the bloodiest conflicts in U.S. history, it started because of different political and economic beliefs that caused conflicts between the northern and the southern states. There were major political and economic issues, social and cultural forces, individuals and groups that caused civil war. There are different opinions on what caused civil war, for some it was just because of slavery, but there were many factors that separated the nation and it was…

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is a question everyone is asked by teachers, parents, and even strangers, from the time they are young and just learning to read. Most kids tend to say they want to become an astronaut or a professional athlete. But for me, I was on the complete other end of the spectrum. Instead of shooting for the stars, I aspired for ground level and always said I wanted to become a professional dog walker. People always say to pick a job that you will love…

It is important to understand that alcohol was not always legal in the United States. In the early 1900’s in the United States alcohol was made to be illegal by the 18th Amendment (History.com Staff 3). This time period was known as Prohibition and was part of a temperance movement. The law was later repealed by the 21st Amendment due to the growing need for revenue that would be created by the liquor industry during The Great Depression in 1933 (History.com Staff 4). It became apparent that…

The Tampa Bay Lightning’s newest signee lines up against a…

way through the gate and I took the opportunity to close and secure it so we wouldn’t have any stragglers coming in behind us. The airport was small. A five of quonset huts and a two story tower. It reminded me of a smaller version of the one in Erie. Much smaller, but they probably had a fraction of the traffic we saw down…

Ever how fleeting is youth... Torn from the womb, a tender rosebud that blossoms into a beautiful rose, only to reign a supreme for a few precious days before it withers, petal by petal from the peduncle and falls to its death… L.B. Thirty-six days later, Allie received her first letter from Thomas. With trembling fingers, she broke the seal to read what her husband had written. When she finished reading it, Allie folded it neatly and then looked across Charleston Harbor toward where Fort…

As wars were ending and other wars were starting during the 1800s , many americans started to migrate west. Although this would seem like the separation of the original thirteen states, it actually expanded them and it would ironically make America more united. With the rise of upcoming states, nationalism would finally benefit America and makes us actually “united”. However, nationalism had more success and flaws than just bringing America together. Nationalism played a huge role in the…

monarch invades their rights they had authority to remove the monarch. John Locke’s Social Contract Theory shaped the United States later on. In 1773, the French and Indian War arised. The French started to build forts along the Ohio River and Lake Erie. The Virginia Colony also claimed the Ohio River and they were agitated about the French's actions. So they sent their militia and George Washington as the leader to order the French to leave. However the French rejected their order, and in a…

To the elites of any society that has existed in history, the anger and ire of the masses has always been a terrifying concept to ponder. From the Helot class of Sparta, peasant revolts in China, labor unions in England, and slave revolts in America, it has always been the prerogative for those in power to make sure any thoughts of challenge to the status quo was quickly put to rest. This view of those in power has remained unchanged, but the mechanisms used to achieve control and stability have…
