When my father bought a photo booth in 2013, that simple work that I did periodically would increase dramatically. I was not an experienced worker at…

I started watching NCIS when I was eleven or twelve, and since then I have strived to be more like Abby Sciuto. Abby is the definition of “never judge a book by it’s cover.” While she may seem scary and intimidating dressing in all black with several visible tattoos, she is the most down to earth, intelligent woman that I have ever seen on a television show.

It will analyze how each character reacts to others and events. It will demonstrate how the show has objectified women and…

the theater. The play being performed onstage forgotten immediately, the actors taking part in the angry mob. This horrific scene was caused by one person, John Wilkes Booth. John Wilkes Booth was a famous actor, but he was also a determined secessionist. According to the text, Chasing Lincoln’s Killer by James L. Swanson John Wilkes Booth had a negative impact by causing national grief, supporting the Confederacy’s scorned values, and destroying an entire democracy. Back in April 1865, things…

What would you say if I told you John Wilkes Booth, one of the most famous assassins in history, escaped and lived out the rest of his life? Not only this but, the government knew that John was not killed and ignored the countless facts. Many historians, authors, ex-government officials and even major magazines agree that something is a little off about the account of his death. While we are told that John was shot by a Union soldier in Garrett's Farm 12 days after Lincoln’s assassination,…
