The Dred Scott Decision of 1857 ruled that African-Americans, even ones who were not enslaved, were not protected under The Constitution and could never be citizens. This brings up questions that will be answered in this paper. Should slaves be American citizens? Is it morally correct for one to own another human? Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?

In today’s world, murderers aren’t a surprising thing, as long as they are fictional. Plenty of TV shows and movies have plot lines around murder, but what about real life? As Scott Bonn states in his writing, of the approximate 15,000 murders in the United States, only 1 percent are serial killings, amounting to about 150 victims per year, with between 25 and 50 serial killers active at any given time. There are plenty of statistics on serial killers. 1 in 20 had the same three characteristics as a child: bedwetting, fire setting, and torturing animals. Animal torture is a common indicator that the child will be violent in the future. Also, over 30 percent of murderers use killing as a way for their sexual arousal (Stone). A murderer

Around 1903 when my parent's died to survive, my brother, Andrew, and I began to perform a musical act on the streets of Chattanooga. I sang and my brother accompanied me on the guitar, often in front of the White Elephant Saloon. In 1912, when Clarence my older brother returned to Chattanooga, he persuaded the managers of his troupe, Lonnie and Cora Fisher, to give me an audition. Consequently, I was hired as a dancer with the Moses Stokes Company, to perform in a show that included the Mother of the Blues, Ma Rainey. Intriguing rumors surround our meeting—legend has it that Ma Rainey literally kidnapped me, that she and her husband forced me to tour with their show, teaching me in the process how to sing the blues. Some rumors say we had

U.S Sen. Pat Toomey holds an in-person town hall usually every Tuesday at his office called Tuesdays With Toomey. Sometimes there are specific topics and sometimes it is an open question type thing. Toomey is known to go MIA, never giving his constituents the opportunity to actually have a get together and discuss things, what every they may be. Toomey not being able to talk to his constituents and listening to their concerns for some time causes their political efficacy to go down. People have signed an online petition with more than 13,000 people strong trying to get Toomey to meet them face to face, but despite this and the constant demonstrations held downtown outside of his office, he is nowhere to be seen. Toomey did however hold a over

Dave Rose is under a lot of fire, of which for those not BYU fans or in that state of Utah this makes no sense. Dave Rose is working on another 20+ season and has seen BYU to either the NCAA’s or NIT play for the past couple of years now. No, it is not the final 4 that we all dream of, and not that dream is not happening every year like some of us think (irrationally I might add) it should. Still with all of this there are some saying that it may be time to move on. Move on from the guy who found you Jimmer, who put BYU basketball back in the national spotlight, move on from a guy who has dedicated his time and probably his health to BYU.

Poetry has always been way instrumental in my life. It’s a way for me to express how I feel to myself; it is a beautiful paradise, and poetry is the awakening of the third eye. The ability to view thing as the are, although they may not appear to be that way to the natural eye Also because of its traits of presenting imagery, its ability to make things out of an object that may not seem to be tangible, known as poetry in motion, Rappers, speakers and also singers may be identified as poets depending on the degree of truth,

As far back into my childhood as I can remember my grandmother was always the person who had read me stories and taken me to the library to check out books. I was a book nerd and all I wanted to do was read. I came across a book in my fifth grade class by Shel Silverstein and fell in love with his work after reading “The Land of the Happy" from Where the Sidewalk Ends. Curled up in the corner with a book used to be the only place you could find me. Poetry is my favorite form of writing because it is just so simple and short although it can hold so much meaning and feeling. One day my grandma took me to the library and I came across Shel Silverstein’s Falling Up poetry book. I took it home and found myself lost in his words. The next day, I hopped out of my grandpa’s truck and marched my little legs inside to check out all of the other books by him.

Then came my years my mind were open to another world of poetry. It was just the feeling of how words had the power to make a person have every kind of emotion.
