Dear Ms. Hilarious Nobama Nopar Hadabaday, I sincerely hope you will regard this suggestion as worthy of your attention, and that you will take into consideration some of these ideas regarding the potential upcoming summit with North Korea. In my vast research regarding North Korea, I have discovered a pattern of what I like to call “Strategic Isolationist Brinkmanship”: a policy where North Korea frequently extends a fake olive branch in order to invite potential talks of peace, and then…

along with the conflict. On page 83, one of their friends, Dally, informed them of the incident by stating, “The Socs and us are having all-out-warfare all over the city.

Another challenge that I encountered, and which had discouraged me the most and made quit school for a year came after my first year of college. I was accepted into my dream university, the best one (or at least that’s what I would like to think so). I must admit that the first year was difficult but going to that school was all I had ever wanted, so I worked through it.

It is naked. Its buttock and thighs are a mass of festered sores, as it sits in its own excrement continually) as they seem doing so will result in everyone else’s misery(According to Leguin, “If the child were brought up into the…

Today is my one-year anniversary of coming home from Afghanistan, but I am not happy. How can I celebrate my life in a time like this? I cannot think about my life when I know other families are crying because their loved ones did not come home. What are those families doing today? Shouldn’t we be remembering the fallen soldiers?
