This week, I read an article about a mother that “accidently” dropped her baby in a squat toilet in Beijing, China. Worst of all, the mother “did not initially come forward to claim the baby”(Tang). Apparently, she delivered the baby in the restroom and was too scared to come forward. I believe that no matter […]

This week we finished The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This iconic novel was incredibly well written. Although the plot angered me, the poetry in Fitzgerald’s writing keeps you from putting it down. Nevertheless, the fact that it brought out such a strong emotion in me in itself shows the artistry in the work. […]

This week I read an article of a so called hero, Charles Ramsey, that helped rescue a 10 year captive. Apparently, this hero knew the captor. He explained, “We eat ribs and what not, listen to salsa music, you see where I’m coming from? Not a clue that that girl was in that house, or […]

This week, I read an article of a gunman that held 4 firefighters hostage and was ultimately killed by a SWAT team. Apparently, the police decided to try and distract the gunman with a stun blast, following the blast the gunman opened fire on the team. “The gunman, who has not been identified, demanded several […]

This week I read an article on a stabbing that occurred at Lone Star College in Texas. The suspect unfortunately was able to wound “14 people before being subdued and arrested, authorities said”. As I have mentioned in my past posts, this types of arguments can be used against gun control. Not only does this […]

This week, I read an article about a 4 year old child that shot and killed the wife of a Tennessee Sheriff. Apparently, the father of the child was showing a relative his gun collection when “the officer’s wife and young nephew entered the room. The child grabbed one of Fanning’s loaded guns off the […]

This week I read an article on the North Korea problem, and their threats towards the U.S. The article comments on why a war would be devastating for both sides. It says, “A war would be suicidal for North Korea, which cannot expect to defeat the United States and successfully overrun South Korea. War would […]

This week, I read an article on a 13-year-old kid that was murdered in Mexico after having confessed to “being an assassin for a Mexican drug cartel”(Romo). Not only is this incredibly surprising, but it is also very eye opening. Organized crime is present all throughout the world. Some, unfortunately, are capable of being international. […]

Recently, I read an article on Obama and his opinion of the voting rights act provision. He feels that ” it will become harder to help people who believe their voting rights have been violated if the Supreme Court strikes down a key part of a voting rights law”(Dharapak). In my opinion, there should not […]

This week, I read an article of a creature washed up at the shore of a UK beach. It is still unknown what it is but they are calling it “The Beast of Tenby”(EST). Instances like this really makes one think. Does science have it all figured out? Was this a mutation of a regular […]
