ideas from the opposite side. I love to debate and someday want to become a lawyer and perhaps also a politician. A major problem with political discourse today is our increasing inability to actively listen and respond to the other side in a proper manner. I believe such an inability is at the core of the increasing polarity and gridlock akin to our present political system. Thus, I ask that you keep these statements in mind when reading what I have to say, and understand that I too am a member of

I knew from getting out of my red dodge truck, seeing black clouds covering the sky, it was going to be a hectic hunting day. Justin, Dad, Orlando, Jake, Emily, Rob, and I, were all getting ready to start the journey to the skinny pond on the outskirts of Salem.

Did you know that 1 in 6 young Americans have stolen something in the past year? Not many people in life have the courage and integrity to do the right thing. In the poem “The Road Not Taken,” commentary “Doing the Right Thing,” and short story “Thank You Ma’am,” the speakers in each text had an incentive to do the right thing.

1. “Silence” by Serge Mozhnevsky demonstrates symmetrical balance. Although the two sides are reversed, they are identical, thus giving the sculpture a sense of balance.

Reading: A skill, a pastime, a way to escape this world and enter another. A way to communicate with others. A way to express love, sorrow, joy, anger. A way to persuade. A way to release our emotions that is often taken for granted. We read every day: street signs, ads, a meme on Twitter.
