Paper written in class (for next years class)

When most people think of the United States, they think of the great land and how much freedom people have. Little do people know though the United States' dark hidden history. The United States is not always honest about its history and has failed to explain its dark moments in the past.

The United States government does not always teach and explain to its people some of its dark past. For example, during WWII the United States government forced Japanese people on the west coast to move inland on reservations. Not many people have heard about this tragic event, because of the lackof teaching on the touchy subject. Likewise, this would be like a teacher avoiding to tell her students something because it might upset them. Teaching is a key role in the U.S., but even when they do teach, sometimes they twist the past to make it sound good.

The government continuously twists the past in order to make its dark spots sound good. The government hales Christopher Columbus as a great man that founded the new world. What they always fail to mention though is the thousands of natives he tricked and killed. Likewise, most recently the government invaded Iraq with the excuse of nuclear arms in the country. However was known that they did not have them and just lied to invade. Yet, some still don't believe the stagering evidense.

Some people say on the other hand that the U.S. government is just trying to control its people. The problem is, there is a point when it goes from protecting the people to censorship. If they were just trying to protect, then they could find a way to teach it and protect.

Big Fish Paper (for next years class)

The city of Specter in The Big Fish represents heaven.

The city of Specter is hard to get into like heaven. To get to SPecter, you have to go through a long path of woods. The woods have entanglements and traps just like life. Carl said before Edward started on the path "Are you sute you want to go on that long path?" and Edward responded with "Yes it will be an adventure and a challenge." Likewise, to get to heaven you have to do good works and go through the path of life. When Edward got to Specter the man at the enterance had a clip board,like Saint Peter is suppose to have at the gates of heaven. At the end of every path there is a reward.

The city of Specter is a reward, just like heaven is for doing good works. When you get to Specter, everything is perfect and you can just relax. When you get to heaven there is no worries and you can just do what you want. The man at the entrance once said, "Not many people come because you have to take the long and hard path to get here." You have no jobs or worries either in Specter, because everything is provided for you. All you do all day is have fun, like dancing and eating wonderful pie.

Oil Wreck

Thesis- The oil spill is British Petroleum's fault.

British Petroleum (BP) is at fault for this oil spill in the gulf coast. BP should have had better checking on the plants safety and kept it up to date for the safety of its workers and nature around it(as the owners of the oil rig). Furthermore, they need to have good, planned, worked out ideas in case it ever happens again. This is a global issue that is going to be affecting the whole world and BP is to blame and be at fault for this.
