This government control, though occasionally littered with bad mistakes, is usually brightly positive, even in ways I don’t acknowledge. From my life as a student, to my life as a teenager, to even my life in general, government affects everything I do. As a…

Lucy is taken away from Sam and put into the foster system, due to the fact…
