I am going to start out talking about our 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms. In today’s society you might as well bite your tongue, we have our people who believe they should be ripped away and others who say that everyone should own a gun. But what would Andrew do? Personally I believe Andrew would have wanted to keep guns, 1 reason being that he killed Charles Dickinson in a duel. These 2 relentlessly hated each other but this event had sparked after a horse derby, Dickinson stated that Jackson had lied about changing his bet on a certain horse and proceeded to call him a coward and as well told Jackson’s wife that she was a bigamist. Although Andrew suffered severe injury it never really affected his campaign. The bullet was removed 10 years later. As well Andrew never faced criminal charges because well the laws were just not like they are today. Andrew’s beliefs on immigration? Well I don’t really have any pure facts, but we all know that he is responsible for the trail of tears. This man wasn’t really fond of Native Americans clearly as he forcefully pushed them out of the states like Utah and Oklahoma, Kansas. Etc. Not really sure why he had a hate for them though, but he did. Kind of like how Trump doesn’t like Mexicans. I am sure both of them could relate. Andrew really struggled with banks or against the bank, Jackson didn’t believe that no private banks should be allowed to control or tamper with American’s money. He really just wanted to destroy the 2nd bank…

Sylvia Plath tragically died more than 50 years ago, however the vitality of her work continues on. To some, Plath’s writing is a biography of her life, yet to others, her work is simply a piece of art to be admired and studied. Through the earlier drafts of her poem “Stings,” one can develop a biographical perception of Plath’s writing. However, it is within her published version of “Stings” that Plath’s writing is revealed as the Introduction to Johnny Panic states, “impassioned…

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." - Philip K. Dick. Whether you've heard this famous saying or not, it seems to ring true. For example, when you were a child, you were told that Santa Claus is existent and that he's the one that comes down your chimney (if you happen to have one), place presents under your Christmas tree, and bite into the cookies and drink the milk left out for him. So you believed it because you simply suppose "My parents wouldn't lie to…
