Cops can be selfish often when they think you committed a crime just because you 're black, or they just assume, and have no proof. They have no evidence, no proof, no clues.

At first glance, the Salem witch trials may seem a strange subject for a play, but delving deeper into the political climate of the 1950s, it does not seem strange at all. The play served as an allegory for the Red Scare happening at the time, specifically the ideology of McCarthyism that was used to place Americans on trial

Today, 41 states around the United States no longer teach students to write in cursive. Some schools have gotten to the point where printed handwriting is no longer taught and technology is the primary source. In my opinion, cursive writing should still be instructed in schools today.

I remember walking down my elementary school’s hallway, looking at the fifth grader’s projects, hanging on the wall all beautiful in cursive writing. It looked nice but even in third grade I was dreading having to write that much in cursive. I was wondering if I could run away and live in the woods, you didn’t need to write anything in the woods. Thankfully I did not need to run away because just two short years later cursive was already obsolete, little did I know what a travesty this was. Children

However, recent changes in the national curriculum standards have seen a move away from this emphasis on good handwriting. The current standards, also known as the Common Core State
