Mark Twain’s life is full of quotes and passages we can all relate to. But there was one that stood out to me when I did my research reading “Plan for the future because that 's where you are going to spend the rest of your life”.

It is in the very nature of a parent to wish to protect his child, especially in the ever-impressionable teenage years, from “truculence,” “sexism,” and “antisocial ideas.” However, the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, as well as every other novel read in an English class, not only has literary value, but is fundamental in exposing children to the realities of the world, harsh or…

Sangers also became politically active and used…
