    Have you ever wanted revenge on your parents? Lizzie Borden was accused of the murder of her father and stepmother at the age of 31. I deem Lizzie guilty of the murder of her stepmother. Also, I think Bridget Sullivan, their servant was responsible for the murder of Abby Borden. According to source #3, Lizzie tried buying poison just days before the murders of her father and stepmother. She claimed the reason for the poison was to clean a sealskin cape. Plus she burned a dress the day after being named a suspect. In my opinion, most of the evidence points to Lizzie…

    Imagine parachutes loaded with chocolate and gum floating down from the heavens. The children of West Berlin deserved the sweet gifts after going through the tragedy of the loss of loved ones and the destruction of their city. Gail Halvorsen was an angel to these children. He delivered candy to the young war survivors. As a young boy Gail Halvorsen would watch beautiful silver airplanes fly high in the sky, going to faraway places.

He gave them all he had: two sticks of gum, and that's where the journey began. I firmly believe that Gail Halvorsen is an American leader that influenced many lives in Berlin after World War II.…

    I predict that Charlotte Grimké and her daughter Hetty Handful Grimké, will achieve freedom from being enslaved to the Grimkés, a white aristocratic family. It is likely that the two African-American slaves, Charlotte and Handful, will adorn freedom because they are determined. As a means to earn money, Charlotte urges Sarah’s mother, missus, to allow her to be hired out to other white people, which will allow her to obtain a portion of the revenue by applying her sewing skills. However, missus is reluctant to allow Charlotte to work for other employers due to her irrational fear of Charlotte working harder for them, which in turn causes Charlotte to clandestinely and illegally hire herself out. Charlotte is deceitful, dishonest, and tenacious due to her thirst for freedom. She is willing to deceive her white owner, which may…
