I rest my eyes upon a frail and sickly looking man who had a expression on his face of utter horror. The man frantically left room; I attempted to go after him, but quickly I fell to the ground. My body felt alien to me. I examined my body to find a thin, pale skin that covered my grotesque body. My veins and arteries were visible through my skin. The skin was so tight my…

The the first “Shot heard around the world”, went off with an echo louder than thunder. Suddenly everything froze, silent like the night, while our patriots realized the sacrifices that they were going to make for this country. Because when we see opportunity for a better life, nothing will stop us from achieving it.…

mind, LBJ organized an air offensive in 1965 called Rolling Thunder.

In the end, LBJ was mostly unsuccessful in resolving the conflict within Vietnam. In 1968, LBJ declared he wouldnÁ─≥t run for office again and in addition ended Operation Rolling Thunder.

It tells us that no external factor affects our decision-making process. However, many believe that external factors affect the way we make our…

For this paper I went to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. I went to the park with my dad on November 9th. We came straight from the airport and arrived at around 10am. The entrance to the park was relatively empty, this was probably due to the fact that the front is really large and it only gets noticeably crowded during the morning while guests are waiting for the park to open. Despite being pretty empty at the entrance, there was a line to get through security. I remember being surprised to…
