Cathy Danh Science 8 Mr. O’Rourke November 19‚ 2013 Hope Diamond The two articles‚ “The Hope Diamond Curse” and “Curses Debunked” are both decent articles.

I believe that “Curses Debunked” is more convincing for many reasons. The first few sentences of “Curses

Never To Forget- The meaning of the title "Never To Forget" is very significant to the story of the Holocaust. The title simply means to forget what we know would not be human.
