youth of South Africa. In this time people of a certain color were denied the right to vote. They were also forced to live in the certain area.

But Quinn was different; her cry was very quiet. In fact, she was so quiet that Quinn’s mother and father sometimes wouldn’t hear her! And when they held her tight they would say, “Oh Quinn, don’t be shy! Use your voice and we will be there for you.” When Quinn was one year old her grandmother helped her learn to walk. And just like most…

Only Mitchell notices that we’ve showed up, and he comes over to greet us. “Hey guys! Thanks for coming. We’ve already eaten, so go ahead and take as much as you want.” He says. Gabrielle and I walk over to the counter and grab as much food as we think we can consume, and we sit and eat. As we finish our ‘thanksgiving dinner,’…

only on her but on Susan B. Anthony so it did not show much of what Stanton did. “The Birthplace of Women’s Rights” was more about her therefore more effectively developed her contribution. My first reason why I believe this is because It shows just her and her…

“Everything the light touches is our kingdom,” says Mufasa to the young Simba in the famous Disney movie, The Lion King. The Pledge of Allegiance states that our kingdom, or nation, under God is indivisible, much like how the light touches almost everything in The Lion King. After a court case about the Pledge in 2014, many people have been wondering whether or not it is worth it to say the Pledge every morning at school.
