Sometimes you hear about a student at your school threatening to bring to a gun to school but they usually don’t. Well, at Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, it happened, but it was much worse than bringing a gun to school. Matthew, a 16 year old student at that school, heard a boy repeating that he was going to start shooting people at the school. Then Matthew told the police what he knew and the police arrested three students that were going to shoot people at the school. But what if he didn't tell? There has been many mass shootings over the years and if Matthew wouldn’t have told, then Cedar Crest High School would of been just another school. Although some readers of “To Tell or Not to Tell” by author Mary Kate Frank have argued that people shouldn’t tell because of snitching or getting in trouble, closer examination shows that if you tell that you can stop a school shooting or somebody killing themselves. It is better to tell an adult if you are being bullied or if you know about a school shooting even if you look like a snitch. If you do not tell then somebody could die because of that. In ¨To Tell or Not to tell” by Mary Kate Frank it states that,”70% of people who commit suicide tell someone their plans or give warning signs.” It is important to tell because in the text if Natalia did not say anything then she is 90% sure her friend would not be with her today. Even though you might look like a snitch if you tell on someone you can save lives by…

What if the animals had found out about how they were being cheated on their own food that they grew well, then their would have been a rebellion due to their unjust way of distributing the food. Animals on the farm like Boxer were being cheated and lied to and yet they…

Animal Farm Lord Acton says, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” In the book, Animal Farm, by George Orwell this quote is thoroughly expressed and proven. When a farm is overthrown by the animals inhabiting it, to fix the corrupt rule that they’re already under, power coaxes them to into being just as corrupt, if not more. Three major examples are Farmer Jones, the pigs and dogs in general, and the head boar, Napoleon. Absolute power corrupts Animal Farm…

taking over Manor Farm and overthrowing Mr. Jones. The idea of rebelling sparked when Old Major the wise prize-winning boar delivered an eloquent speech to the animals of Manor Farm, Old Major explained why human were such terrible creatures by stating "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing."(p.4). Old Major explains to the animals about life as they aged, as he himself has seen it before "the miserable lives we lead are not allowed to reach their natural span."(p.4) starting…

evil days. He had become much disheartened after losing money in a lawsuit, and had taken to drinking more than was good for him. For whole days at a time he would lounge in his Windsor chair in the kitchen, reading the newspapers, drinking, and occasionally feeding Moses on crusts of bread soaked in beer.
