Justice for Juveniles “Approximately 2,570 children are sentenced to juvenile life without parole or "JLWOP" in the United States.” (END JUVENILE LIFE, para. 1). Juveniles should have an appropriate trial prior to a life in prison. Some observe life punishment as justice in our country.

Multiple citizens may believe it is best for America’s safety to have these individuals in jail for life

the 1960’s version, it was about a group of neighbors constantly being scapegoated for being part of an “alien invasion” into their neighborhood due to a recent power outage. In the 2003 version the same thing happened except they were being blamed for being a terrorist.

police would never believe Charlie’s word against the word of that Duignan witch” (Brogan pg.20). Neighbors are supposed to be helpful and friendly to one another, but this was not the case in the O’Kelly’s neighborhood.

(true) I lived in a haunted house for over a decade (self.freehorrorstories) submitted 2 months ago by LinearEqualist When I was eight years old, my family moved into the house I grew up in. It wasn't an old house, and no one had died in it, and it didn't even feel creepy. Just an average suburban house in your average southern suburbs.

Cherubs (an informal name used to call the child spies in CHERUB) go on missions to deceive and trick adults for the intelligence purposes. The series focuses on one boy, James, who at 12 gets recruited at CHERUB. The series then follows James on each of his missions- a book for each mission

She is currently a teacher and every friday and saturday she goes to St. Frances de Chantal church in order to educate Polish-American students in Polish language, history, and geography along with other teachers. I myself have attended the school since 2007 and continue to today.

Hate is My Neighbor by Bill Wassmuth and Tom Alibrandi is a nonfiction book that showed me that bigots have been out there for a long time, even in my own backyard. The Book took place in Coeur D'alene Idaho, a town about 7 hours from Boise. It gave us an in depth look on how the Aryan Nations harassed the people of the small town in the 1970’s. I will further explain what I felt were three important artifacts from the book that help us understand the situation. The three artifacts I chose will represent

America is time to get educated about your Spanish speaker 's neighbors! Do you think you could identify each Spanish-speaking culture with its own country and location? The truth is that few people who come from ordinary lives are able to answer this question with confidence and security. Unfortunately, American society has for decades refused to understand the true essence of its immigrant neighbor, making the lack of understanding create conflicts and barriers that prevent the fulfillment of one
