I tap my foot impatiently on the passenger side floorboard, as if I could make Alex drive faster by doing so. In the corner of his eye he notices my fidgeting, and stretches his hand out with his palm facing upward. I lace my fingers between his and look at our locked hands, my silver wedding band visible. My thoughts remain ever focused on our destination, and as we get closer, my former excitement is replaced by nervous energy. I close my eyes in a futile attempt to blink away the fear. When I

The toy/game that I have created would be called the iPortrait, in which a parent/caregiver/teacher can purchase either one frame and interchange the portrait within, or for a classroom setting have multiple frames with many interchangeable portraits.

However, this class shed a different light upon the U.S History, very different from the ones I learned in the previous class. I believe that including the book “Lies
