a chance before you bite my head off! My English teacher gave all of my class topics to write a speech on. This is the topic I received and‚ (as you can see)‚ I have to agree with the motion that “Teenagers today have too much freedom”. The following are the 9 reasons my teacher required us to brainstorm: 1. Parents don’t know where their children are anymore. 2. Not everywhere is a war zone‚ but not everywhere is safe.

Woodrow Wilson’s failures of commission probably had the most dire consequences of any U.S. president. His great flaw was his sanctimonious nature‚ more stark and distilled than that of any other president‚ even John Quincy Adams (who was no piker in the sanctimony department).

The number of people killed was the most significant aspect of World War I. To what extent do you agree? It’s 1914 and Gavrilo Princip has just shot the heir to the Austrian throne and his wife. As he fired the bullet‚ little did he know that he was about to start one of the bloodiest and most tragic wars the world had ever seen. World War I was‚ for most people‚ the most horrific event of their lives. There were over 35 million casualties‚ a war second only to World War II. No other war had changed

It was never a sure thing whether or not the people would come together to move the American Revolution forward. The American War for Independence was unstoppable‚ the colonists who wanted to break away from England have gradually increased in numbers over the years‚ starting from the French and Indian War.

What is a revolution? According to the online dictionary‚ a revolution is “an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.” Knowing this we can ask ourselves what were the colonist goals whenever they started the rebellions and protests? Did they start out wanting to completely overthrow their government? Not knowing every colonist’s thoughts makes it hard to have a set yes or no if the latter was what was planned.

How far do you agree with the opinion that the Boer war acted as a spur to much needed reform in Britain? The Boer war acted as a catalyst to reform in many ways.
