Nixon

Even though Nixon did some positive aspects towards the United States, he mostly hurt the United States. Most people remember him as a bad than good. He hired "plumbers" to find out people's information. Citizens could not trust him at all. He was un-trustworthy. Nixon seemed to be mysterious and he looked like he was always keeping a secret from everyone. Nixon kept a list of people who he didn't like and he didn't discuss every problem with the people in office, only people that he was close with. And that was only two or three people. Everyone wanted to know when he was going to leave office. After he set up the plumbers and the FBI suspected him in something, he dropped out being the president. He tried to bribe the FBI to stop the investigation about him. All though he did help us through the Vietnam War, he also was not trusted by many Americans.

Women's Rights

1.)  What do you think about the ERA?  Why?

          In my opinion, there is good and bad ideas about the ERA. Some cases it was good because it showed how women wanted to become equal to men, but there are consequences. I don't think the ERA wasd a good idea. Women could have been drafted and many women wouldn't want that to happen to them. Some like how they can just be housewives and take care of their family. Yes, it's a good idea for them to have equal pay and better life-style, but that leads to many consequences. I feel like it would cause more violence in society.

2.) Should it be brought back?
        I think it should be brought back. Today, society has changed since the 1960's, so the consequences wouldn't be as bad as what they were before. Now, women are enlisted in the military and there's laws about being drafted at a certain age. Now, women and men get equal pay and are equal on the job site. But some are still lacking rights.  I feel like if it was brought back today than it could have a better chance of passing it.

Jackie Robinson

Yes, I agree that Jackie Robinson deserves to be ranked as one of the greatest civil rights figures. He was the first African American in the Major Leagues. He stood up for what he believed in and at the end, everyone loved him. When people tried to get in his way, he wouldn't let them. Robinson showed that anyone can do anything if they tried hard enough. People realized he was a great baseball player and didn't care what color he's skin was. He allowed people to see that African Americans are not different from whites. Jackie Robinson stood up for African Americans and deserves to be ranked one of the most important people in the Civil Rights Movement.

Dr. Suess's The Butter Battle Book

The Yooks and the Zooks were arguing till the end of dawn at the wall. Wondering which one would drop the ball. With all of this commotion and confusion, a big bang was heard. The Yooks and the Zooks' eyes were all blurred. Trying to see where all this smoke came from, a commander could be seen in the distance. Trying to provide some assistance. He said to stop all this confusion and delusion. This battle is silly, we should have peace in this lily. The Yooks and Zooks realized it doesn't matter if you eat your bread with the butter side up or down, this town  is better than all, hands down.
