Malcolm in the Middle

things too terrible to put candidly (Article C). One such example of such untruthful political language is the modern American term, “surgical drone strike”, which calls to mind a picture of a laser- precise missile wiping out a specific target in the Middle East, causing a minimal impact on the nearby surroundings. However, this is not nearly the truth. Instead, 15 percent of people killed in drone strikes are unidentified and likely innocents, which as of now tallies up to around 170 people…

I started college with a little hope that it wouldn’t be as hard as everyone says. I started my first week and I already hard several difficult papers to conquer. I started my first paper due for my religion class, hours and hours of blood and guts spilled into this document and all that was produced were eight agonizing pages, littered with mistakes and just a terrible read.
