    Back in 1960, Harper Lee finally published her famous novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. There have been many debates on why this novel outshined others, although many sources say they have come to an answer. The conclusion was simply that book was relatable! It was not worked up to a ridiculous amount of illusory action or played up with gory violence. It spoke with severe truth, and an intensive storyline! Authors tend to base their stories, if not exactly, off of experiences they have had. Not only because familiarity is comforting, but it gives the writer a sense of real involvement in the world they have created. Writers do this because their work tends to sound and feel more factual, and genuine. Harper Lee’s National medal of Arts Winner, To Kill a Mockingbird, is a prime example of this phenomenon.…

    Often, it helps to narrow your topic (or make it more specific and focused) before you start doing research. Complete the following exercise to turn your topic into a research question by using the same information gathering technique that journalists use. Additional “stasis” questions that might help you narrow a topic include cause and effect and value (i.e. good, right, just and appropriate).

    As Bob Marley once said, “We have to conquer the devils with a little thing called love!” He meant that if people could all learn to love and be compassionate that things would be a lot better off for everyone. That was the problem in 1968, there was not enough love and acceptance. That changed in the time between then and 2008 America has become a lot more open-minded of things that they normally would have not been tolerant of. There are still issues with that today not all Americans understand that hate will get them nowhere. People just have to remember that love is the key to a happy peaceful coexistence between us all. It is not always easy but if America can try to love one another life will be so much better for us. The chaotic year of 1968 and hectic year of 2008 are both significant to the civil rights movement because of the economy, race relations, and the election.…

    With the election just around the corner, many ballot questions throughout the United States are extremely controversial and one of these issues is evident in the state of Massachusetts. On November 6th, 2012, the citizens of Massachusetts will be asked to vote on the “Death with Dignity” initiative, also known as, “Question 2” which will appear on the general election ballot. This initiative is a law which will enable those who are diagnosed with a terminal illness, to obtain lethal prescription medications and use them as a more comfortable, controlled means of death. An option provided to these terminally ill people as an alternative to the drawn out and unbearably painful final months of life produced by their illness. A more specific description of the initiative is as follows: “According to the text of the initiative, the proposed measure would allow for a terminally ill patient to be given lethal drugs. A terminally ill patient would be defined as a patient being given six months or fewer to live. The patient requesting the medication must be mentally capable to make medical decisions while consulting their respective doctors. Patients would be required to submit their request orally twice and witnessed in writing, and the initial verbal request must be fifteen days prior to the written request and second oral request. The patient's terminal diagnosis and capability to make health care decisions must be confirmed by a second doctor” (mass.gov). Although, providing such drugs to people who are terminally ill appears to be a good idea there are many problems that must be addressed before the ballot should be passed.…
