Over the break, I watched a movie called Inside the Court of Henry Vlll, which explored King Henry’s paranoia and selfish brutality. This was a well researched reenactment of his life, which occurred in the 1500s in England. During his reign, a hint of betrayal resulted in a death sentence, regardless of your status. For that reason, King Henry Vlll is remembered for creating an era of terror. When Henry was crowned, he was full of ideas, and he represented a new future, one filled with…

Until I the beginning of my sixth grade year, I never really gave much thought to what I listened to. Never gave any thought about whether or not what people told me was correct. I’d see the news and think that 's all there was to it, whatever my elders told me was what I believed. And this applied to everything. From Music to Politics to History to Science and to Religion.
