crowd tonight, I see a diversity of people. I see grandparents who have raised their families, lived through many crises and have accomplished many goals. I see mothers and fathers who have fulfilled some of their dreams, but still may be struggling with challenges and goals to meet. Some families are here tonight to watch their oldest child graduate. For other parents, they’re here to celebrate with their youngest child. Yet all parents wish the best for their children and hope to see them succeed
The story "Where are You Going, Where Have You Been" written by Carol Oats is about a girl who flaunts her beauty which ultimately leads to her abduction. After the story is read the question is, was the author trying to show Connie's situation as fate or free will? The situation Connie got herself in was caused by free will.

Q8. Yes, I believe that World War I could have easily been avoided. There were several key factors that would lead to the war, however, many of these issues could have been avoided. World War I was a horrific event that should have been avoided. Unfortunately, the European countries had not properly thought through everything, instead they all made the awful fateful decisions to launch themselves into war. If each European power had taken the time to think things over and possibly come up with easier

However Wegener had always been fascinated in climatology and meteorology. (According to ucmp.berkeley.edu) In the autumn of 1911, Wegener was browsing in Marburg university’s library and found a scientific paper that listed fossils of identical animals and plants found on opposite sides of the Atlantic ocean. With further searching he was able to prove that his theory of “Continental Drift” could have been true. The continental drift explained how parts of Earths crust could slowly drift atop a liquid
The athletes and spectators are all ready to head to Brazil. The only thing that seems to be in the way is the recent outbreak of the zika virus. This virus seems to being running rampant throughout many of the South American countries including Brazil. The effects and spread of the virus is a concern for the athletes, spectators, and many others. The question raised by many is how to handle this situation with the Olympics only a few months away. The athletes have been training so hard over the last
perception (ESP), telekinesis, ghosts, poltergeists, life after death, reincarnation, faith healing, human auras, and so forth” (pg.20). The term UFOs, unidentified flying objects, is the reported sighting of any object or arrangement of lights that do not have a logical or natural explanation. The first reported incident in America occurred in 1947, when an amateur pilot, Kenneth Arnold, made claims of a sighting while flying his small plane near Mount Rainier in Washington which caused the U.S. government
Meyer, K 30725003 ENLS111 Morris, M Longer Essay: All drugs should be legalised for use in private homes The ‘war on drugs’ has been a never-ending battle that the prohibition of substances have been unable to conquer. Although it is unsuccessful, the aim of drug prohibition is to minimize the harm caused by drugs. Despite the controversial nature of this topic, the decriminalization of all drugs for use in private homes could possibly be a solution to this problem. The prohibition of drugs by the
Jamestown was burned down in 1676 Could the reason that so many died have been starvation? It seems that the winter of 1609 was so bad that the many of the colonists died of starvation. They were made to eat their own excrement and flesh. They ate Indians and animals from the colony, including horses, dogs and rats, or anything they could find. But this was hard to believe, as the island was full of food. Maybe the cause of death was drought. Scientists have discovered that the worst drought in
history that could have been avoided under the right circumstances, but was the French Revolution one of them? The French Revolution lasted from 1789 all the way through 1799. It captured the decline of the monarchy and the rise of the republic by the people. It abolished strict class systems and gave the society of France hope. There was a lot of chaos occurring in France during the time of the revolution, yet it could have been avoided if the government spread the taxes equally between all three estates
According to Kenneth Arnold, “the speed was several thousand miles per hour, like saucers skipping on water” (Arnold, 1947). There are 70,000 UFO sightings every year (New Realities, 2011). There has not been any UFO tracked on Earth. There are nocturnal lights seen and it is reported to have been an UFO. According to Major Cooper, he states that "I was furthermore a witness to an extraordinary phenomenon, here on this planet Earth. It happened a few months ago in Florida. There I saw with my own
Arming pilots could have saved thousands of lives in our nation's history. After much research there are many pros and cons of this debate. Armed pilots would have more responsibilities by the fact of just carrying a gun, but people never know what could go wrong. 2,977 lives were lost on 9/11. Had the pilots been armed the loss of innocent lives may have been prevented. The events of 9/11 and other situations like 9/11, have caused much debate whether or not pilots should be armed. That incident
massive earthquake. However, the only proof we have of Atlantis existing at all is a single dialogue written by Greek philosopher Plato (427-347 BCE), and many theories that have come from that. The theories talk about the location of Plato’s Atlantis being everywhere from The Bahamas to Antarctica. But the theory that is most common is Atlantis was the island nation of Santorini, or to be more precise Thera. From the evidence I’ve been given, Santorini could be Atlantis. Plato’s dialogue, Critias, is
Sergeyev was fired and replaced but Judge Sokolov but his investigations could not be completed as the Bolsheviks once again captured Ekaterinburg. Q1) Source A is from an American newspaper report written in 1918 and is a third hand piece of information, "Sergeyev's findings are known only from comments of people who spoke to him or read his report" therefore this is not a very reliable source as it could have been tampered with. Source A states that Sergeyev, a supporter of the Provisional
higher classes. You may ask why they would do such a thing; sell their beloved kid for money? That in itself is the proposal, for the lower classes to sell their kids to the wealthier people to eat of course. The idea is that the poor people would not have the money to raise the child and at the time there was a problem with overcrowding and famine occurring. So why not kill two birds with one stone and solve both those problems with one simple solution.
throughout his life, but he still found a way to conquer them all. Frederick Douglass is known for his extremely well-known quotations and speeches, even in today’s society, and in his “West India Emancipation” speech at Canandaigua, New York, he stated “ "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." This may mean many different things to many different people, but to me, it means that if you do not struggle for what you want in life, it all was for nothing. I believe that he was saying this in regards
non-stop death, violence, and pain. But have you ever thought about why? Or what do soldiers do in their trenches when they're not fighting or dying? Do you always trust sources when you read them? Do you always believe what they say on television documentaries? How can you without a source of evidence? I am going to be telling you what life was really like in the trenches. Firstly, soldiers had to put up with conditions in the trenches. This could have been really tough. Sometimes, it would downpour;
Humans Didn’t Make Errors William Shakespeare wrote the play Romeo and Juliet about two “star-crossed lovers” who take their own lives in order to be together. What could have possibly cause this other than the fact that they were in love? Human errors, that’s what. Firstly, Romeo and Juliet were from two separate households, and all they did was cause trouble between them. The families’ discrepancies were a major human error which led to the deaths. The second reason is that the two characters were
Crop circles are have been a mystery for a very long time and multiple movies and documentaries have been made by famous directors about this phenomenon. The most famous movie about this unique phenomenon starred Mel Gibson and was called Signs. Crop circles are designs that have been found in fields. A crop circle could be anything from a regular circle to a very challenging design called a pictogram. People believe that it could be anything from just pranks to aliens to a natural disaster. The
