In my opinion‚ the most significant low-light moments of the 20th Century would be the battle of the Somme in WWI‚ residential schools between the 1920’s and 1930’s and last the tragic battle of Dieppe in WWII.

In the battle of Somme it shows this‚ because of the lack detail put into the tactic used for Somme‚ not knowing enough information about the area they were going

I Knew This Was My Moment I was sitting on a chair‚ tied up‚ in an isolated cabin. I felt very weary as I had just opened my eyes after a deep sleep. I had no idea of my sleeping hours‚ days or even months! It was damp and frosty inside the place. This wood cabin‚ if I were to use one word to describe it would be ‘UNKEMPT’! Spider webs clouded every corner‚ refuse scattered all over‚ hordes of flies buzzing around it‚ scavenging for sustenance. A pungent smell arose from a stale‚ discarded

It begins the moment you set foot ashore‚ the moment you step off the boat’s gangway. The heart suddenly‚ yet vaguely‚ sinks. It is no lurch of fear. Quite the contrary. It is as if the life- urge failed‚ and the heart dimly sank. You trail past the 5 benevolent policeman and the inoffensive passport officials‚ through the fussy and somehow foolish customs - we don’t really think it matters if somebody smuggles in two pairs of false-silk stockings - and we get into

Latin America Latin America was a region that interested me the most‚ probably because it is the only region I have been to in person when I went on vacation to Mexico. My first article is about the Panama Canal in Central America‚ “Panama Canal’s Big Moment.” On June 26‚ 2016‚ there was an article in the Chicago Tribune about the Panama Canal being expanded to allow new trade opportunities. The original canal was opened for traffic in 1914‚ and has since then been a busy and vital pathway for ships from

The terrible car accident occurred to me ten years ago threatened my life‚ only a few flashback memories are what is left in my head. It was summer in June and a Saturday night; the rain was pouring like I have seen very few times before.

School-wide Writing In Richard Notkin piece “All Nations have their moment of Foolishness” everybody has their different views on why he made this piece. My views on this piece was that he was trying to tell a story with this sculpture he made. Before reading his artist statement about the piece I figured that it was how he made the piece and the story behind the piece. Notkins statement didn’t change my views about the piece because all he wrote about was about his other projects and how he built

Everyday I receive perfectly worded digital questions and take my time crafting and
