Mount Rushmore

It is common for humans to think that a random, unexplained accident could not just produce the beauty and intelligence we see in our universe.

However, Eve is wearing an orange dress, heels, and is holding her purse as she runs for her life. This particular scene is noteworthy because, Roger is shown to be sweaty and dirty, yet Eve, is still looking clean, polished, and…

The Brown vs. Education was a prime example of the 1960s and 70s exhibiting great social development; the case is a prime example of the government working to end discrimination in the United States. While the case ruled for separation of black and white schools to be unconstitutional there was also the fact that colored people still were not considered U.S citizens or the lack of representation given to the minority’s in the 60s do not demonstrate how the U.S was more freeing.

Therefore, 6 months after I was born I began to crawl and shortly after that around 10 months old I started to take my first steps. During this age I was developing my gross motor skills…

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17th, 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. At 17 years old he ran away from Boston to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a fugitive. This was due to the fact that he spoke against the government saying, "Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech." Later in life Franklin was known for his anti-oppressive government views. His political views are what he is most know for as he was the…

Everyone knows of Abraham Lincoln and the actions and choices that made him famous, but not everyone knows how much those actions and choices impacted the United States. It impacted us so much that if he hadn’t become who he became, the U.S. that we know today probably wouldn’t be here. That is why I believe that Abe was the political figure that had the biggest impact on American history. His actions led to the freedom that all people in the U.S. have currently. Even before he became the 16th…
