The article “When America Was Rocked” tells about how the American culture was changed and shaped throughout the 1940s and 1960s. One of the biggest changes was the amount of young people in America and the music they listened to. Young people at this time were being called reckless or rebellious.

So‚ what happened on Jersey Shore last night? I’m sure most of you could tell me. So‚ what happened with the IMF and the Greek government last night? I’m sure most of you couldn’t tell me. The world we live in today has changed a lot. We live in such a safe‚ comfortable place‚ despite economic troubles and mounting debt. But we don’t have much to complain about. We don’t really need to worry about violation of our human rights or violent protests or government forces violence against citizens

America’s Gift to me Generation America’s gift to my generation and many generations before me are many things. The main gifts that I appreciate are freedom‚ safety‚ and welfare. Most people have been sharing opinions with me about other Americans kneeling during the pledge of allegiance or the national anthem. I do not believe that kneeling is appropriate or respectful.

What Happened to Cass McBride I read the book what Happened to Cass McBride. It was a very good book that keeps you on your toes.

This is one of my favorite books that I have read. This story mainly takes place in a green house
