A Trip To New York City Essay

959 Words4 Pages

Recently I went on a trip to New York City, and during the 4 wonderful days I was there, I came to realize two different things: one, the town in which I live, Elkhart, Indiana is a very boring city.

While I feel as though the United States today is a large accomplishment in terms of progression, I believe that the Klan was an unnecessary feature toward the improvement of our country and American
