The group projects were a real eye opener for myself. Although, I previously understood that colonization has had devastating consequences on Original Peoples in North America I did not make the connections on a global scale. Now it is easy to see the common paths of destruction colonization uses to divide the human family. When greed and a thirst for power become the backbone of a community morals get put aside in a desperate quest for wealth. This creates a class struggle that places all of…

Now if a welder is looking for something with maybe not a lot of stress with his/her boss or coworkers, they can open up their own shop in their backyard.

It can either be for government use of many big companies that need their offices placed somewhere. But there also is the career of…

Wearing the dressiest clothes in our suitcases, we were among the first to arrive in the dining room. Other families joined our tables.

After the farewell cake was served, the captain appeared at the head of the dining room, commanding our attention. “Soon, we will arrive at our destination in the New York Harbor,” he said. “It has been my extreme honor to take you on this…

Each person per day produces about 4.4 pounds of waste. The majority of this waste is thrown away in the trashcan, which is set at the curb to be picked up by a diesel truck polluting the air and using energy, only to end up in a landfill. With the increase in needs of food and other items, more and more trash will result. Recycling is the best way to fix this problem and keep 95% of trash out of landfills. It is projected that Americans will throw away over 11 million tons of glass bottles…

Humans are an incredible race of species compared to the rest of the animal kingdom on our Earth. We have the ability to manipulate our environment to our advantage: we build skyscrapers and cities, we mine out entire mountains, and we also dam up rivers. This power to shape the world in new ways is a gift of our intelligence, but with any great power such as this there is the potential for unintended consequences. We can shape the whole world to our purpose, but what if doing so were changing…

belief into the minds of the readers that the setting is just an ordinary and happy town in order to contrast with the dark ending of the stoning of Mrs. Hutchinson.

I’m 17 and I have no idea what I want to do with my life; I thought to myself as I looked at a list of colleges near Detroit, Michigan. I slammed the book shut and grabbed my backpack and returned the book to its shelf. Enough college searching for one day, though I knew my mother was only going to nag me about it when I went home. I walked out of the high school with pep in my step until I remembered what I had to drive. I walked up to my ’72 blue Skylark and said a silent prayer to myself that…
