Welcome family, friends, students, and faculty. We arrived at this school 9 years ago and now we are already graduating. How did time go by so fast? It seems like only yesterday we were short little kindergarteners trying to learn our alphabet and looking up to the intimidating eighth graders. The bad news is time flies by, the good news it we are the pilots. I have got to known all 50 of my fellow classmates over these years, some more than others, but I will always remember them all for having…

“Wir müssen diesen Ort ein für allemal verlassen! Wir müssen irgendwo in Sicherheit gehen, damit wir friedlich leben können.” Said their parents. Two german kids and their parents were sent to the Nazi concentration camp. They got uncomfortable staying at the camp so they tried to leave. The parents tried to fight their way out, but the Nazis soldiers killed them; not the kids. They were safe, so they sent the two kids back to the camp. The two kids are german Jews, Leon Weber and Finn Herbert,…

Morals have long been considered to be the basis and reasoning behind all actions and decisions people make every day. Whether it is simply to decide what to eat for lunch, or where to go next in life, all of these decisions are based on well-defined morals.

Rather than being able to control their own lives, these victims are unwantedly forced into bad situations. In John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of…

Fern Farmer A2 English Language Introduction: My chosen investigation is to explore the ways in which children books portray gender through the use of language looking at a selection of children books from the 20th and 21st centuries for readers aged 7-10. I will be looking at whether there are any common features within the language used. For example I will be looking at whether the female characters within the books typically use language features such as phatic language, intensifiers and…

Callaway wasn't the first to pursue the lost garden. Columbus went inspecting for it in Venezuela. Dr. Livingstone presumed it was in Zambia. John Calvin preached that it lay hidden in Iraq. William Warren, the president of Boston University, took a sabbatical Arctic cruise to confirm its location at the pole. The Garden has been the illusory dream of scientists, kings, writers, and at least one contrarian Southern lawyer. It is a story so compelling they’ve sometimes abandoned gold, tenure,…

As time progresses, more and more people are accused of plagiarism. In the previous years it was not such a big concern. It has not yet become a crime to plagiarize, but you give yourself a possibility of being sued. When it comes to school, you can be expelled from the college, and it stays in your school record. Plagiarism does not only take place in writing, but also with clothes and music. Many people plagiarize without being aware they are plagiarizing, until they find themselves in trouble…
