The Bomb by Theodore Taylor I thought that Theodore Taylor's The Bomb brilliantly brought to life a fresh new perspective of the government's nuclear tests on the island of Bikini Atoll in the twentieth century, shedding light on the viewpoints of the Hawaiians and their protests against the testing. Being 208 pages long, I thought that it was just the right length- it was long enough to satisfyingly tie up all loose ends, but not so long as to put me to sleep. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the…

One of the most popular musical artists in today’s society would be Taylor Swift. She creates many music videos in which she is looking back at her life and her previous exes. One common factor in these songs and videos are her references to “colonial nostalgia.” She provides this nostalgia by making almost all her songs about her past experiences with people. She tends to write a lot of song about her previous exes. In by doing this she is able to provide a certain “nostalgia” that her…

music always has.” This quote by Taylor Swift expresses how she feels about music and how it helped her. Swift’s childhood is unique and mainly about her exquisite family. Swift enjoyed music so much that she wrote her own. While she was popular outside of school, inside school had its own little twist. Finally, Swift was able to release her music and won awards for them. In her spare time, Swift picked up many relationships during her hit career. I believe that Taylor Swift is one of the best…

He was a strong supporter of the Manifest Destiny. The Manifest Destiny was believed as God’s plan to extend American territory. Polk also was thinking about buying California too, but right now his mission was gaining Texas. The United States was justified in going to war with Mexico because most were…

President James K. Polk, a democratic and pro-expansionist, held nothing back in respect to claiming that territory for the United States. Positioning troops to various strongholds around the unidentified territory led by military General Zachary Taylor,…

Evaluating the presidency of Jefferson Davis is somewhat of a difficult task. When determining how effective a President was while in office, one has to look at many different aspects, as there is so much they have to do. A president who was a great military leader might be remembered poorly if he wasn't able to pull his country out of economic hardship, just as a president who was able to recover his country from depression might be if he lost a lot of men in an unsuccessful war. The problem…

Taylor Alesana was a tormented teenager in high school. Just like any of the rest of us between the ages of 13-19. She went through the confusing stage of not knowing if you were good enough, the annoying pimples, and the distressed pop quizzes given out on Monday’s. But, Alseana was not only just a teenager. She was also a “distinctive” teenager. Distinctive meaning she was a little different. She was a transgender woman. Comparison to any other woman, she enjoyed her Mac make-up kit, and…
