I think Josie is a girl who straddles the social strata between the “cool” kid and the “outcasts. In her chapters in the book Josie says how she feels empty and fake, I can relate to this because it is something that often happens in modern day schools. I think that Josie feels guilty about shooting Matt but at the same time I feel that if she were in the same situation again she would do the same thing. She is a very caring character which makes her likable and she also seems, in a way, broken. This makes me sympathise with

Chapter 1 You Decide 1) Some advantages of research-advocates are firsthand knowledge of the subject. These research advocates frame the way the homeless are viewed and ultimately how we as a society respond/deal with the problem.

The Gulf War was very influential in the soldier’s standpoint, they even named the trauma experience after it (gulf war syndrome), and this had a very sympathetic affect on the whole country. Kuwait was liberated in this war which positively reflects into their society because they now independent and under their own control. This is also when Saddam Hussein lost much of his power and that was another positive effect in society because a powerful dictator would soon be out of power. Bin Laden was also involved in this effort, which resulted for his hate towards the United States and thus supposedly led a terrorist attack against us causing much havoc and negative impact on our society.

John Katko US Representative for New York district 24 Dear John Katko, I’m writing this letter to address the issues with gun control that our country has struggled with for so long. First off, I want to be clear that, like the majority of gun owners in this country, want nothing other than for everyone to be safe and our streets free of crime.

My goal of this letter is to show that there should be some gun control, but not nearly the amount
She was taught to be ashamed of who she was, how she looks, and where she came from. She wants her features to look like that of the white girls who are accepted in society. The hardships that these women suffer during their life can be suffered by anyone, but growing up in a discriminatory atmosphere creates a more dramatic story and conclusion. The great thing about reading is that it brings you to another place, time and feeling. At times a story can make you smile with the character, and other times make you cry with them.
Gandhi took the teachings of Jesus, the Beatitudes, and applied them to life itself which has shown how well they work when they are followed and how great the results are from following the Beatitudes. Gandhi only ever used two weapons while he was alive, the truth and nonviolence which were displayed throughout his life. Gandhi worked hard and diligently against racial discrimination and prejudice in British controlled India. He first started working against discrimination when he was kicked off a train by the authorities because of an accusation from a white man. Gandhi’s fight against discrimination eventually leads to the freedom and independence of India.
