    Bridge: The Mithony Dubuque Bridge

    Bridges are something that have always fascinated me. In my picture you can see I have the Julien Dubuque Bridge in the background. This bridge is a two lane bridge, it has been debated through the past years on if this bridge will be altered in the future. I think it would be a very interesting lesson for the students to look at adding lanes on the bridge. They could choose to expand the bridge into four lanes, build a second two-lane bridge, or tear down the current bridge and replace with a four-lane. During this project students would need to keep in mind that the Julien Dubuque Bridge is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. They would also have to factor in construction time and possible road detours to decide what would…

    Bridge To Terabithia Should Be Banned

    Do books deserve to be banned because of a person's imagination? I don't think so, but there are many people who believe that a book could influence a person. The book, A Bridge To Terabithia has been challenged since 2002. Some people think the book contains Satanism and offensive language. It seems odd that this book is being challenged, since it is considered a children’s book. Since this book is meant for the age group of children that are nine and older, a person might wonder why the author would write a book about Satanism. Out of all the books being banned, many people doesn't believe that this one should even be challenged. There is a valuable message in this book that shows how one can go against stereotypes, stand up against fear, how friendship is can affect one’s health.…
