The Angle Tree

                  On August 29, 2005 one of the greatest hurricanes hit Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi. They called it Hurricane Katrina. A huge percentage of the people living there lost everything. The storm took down houses, trees, and anything else you would imagine. It was a storm that nobody forgets. 

                    In Bay Saint Louis I drive by a tree that is carved with angels almost every time I visit the town. The tree was an oak tree that stood outside of an Inn. The owner of the Inn had her two friends and one dog stay there thinking they would be safe from the hurricane. When the storm destroyed the Inn they climbed the tall tree and clung to it for many hours. The oak tree was the only standing structure near them. The group lived to tell the story too. The owner of the Inn got someone to carve angels into the tree because the owner claims angles saved them from the hurricane. Katrina was a very devastating Hurricane and an unforgettable one too.

Human Nature

Humans are full of flaws. Humans aren't ever perfect. They make mistakes like being late or forgetting something. No one could possibly be perfect. Some people say "I'm human" and it literally means that humans make mistakes. Over time I learned this through experiences of my own and others around me. At school especially people make mistakes. For example, forgetting to do homework, being late to class, not studying, and getting a bad grade. Those are only some examples of flaws. But instead of thinking about all of those flaws, I'd rather think about all the good people can do.

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen

F.B.I. Raids Office of Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Michael Cohen; Trump Calls It ‘Disgraceful’   by Matt Apuzzo. This article written  about Michael Cohen, who works for Donald Trump. He was raided Monday Morning. The F.B.I. had a warrant going to his house and office taking emails, documents, records and many other documents concerning Donald Trump. The author's opinion doesn't seem very opinionated , just factual. I would guess that the author is not in favor of Donald Trump since the writer works for the New York Times, but it's very hard to tell.  The raid definitely  means that there will be something to find connecting the affair of Trump and Stormy Daniels. What confuses me is why Trump calls it 'breaking in' if they had the right to raid because of a warrant. I think that Trump is trying to make it sound like the FBI are the ones who are in trouble. I chose this article because I heard about what happened this morning and I love the New York Times and how i...

Summer Trip

     One day my parents get a call from my aunt. She tells us she scored six tickets to a Justin Bieber concert in Dallas. It was on my sister’s birthday. My sister and I are freaking out because rappers called Migos were opening up for him. Everyday before the concert it was just crazy to think that i was going to get to see two really, really, really well known artists. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that was very exciting.       A couple of days before we were going to the concert, I get a call from my cousin (the one who was taking us to the concert). I find out that Justin Bieber cancelled the concert. My reaction to that was being very sad and disappointed. I mean, I had learned almost all of Migos and JB’s songs. We were all mad. I was almost crying because I was really looking forward to seeing them perform. We still went to Houston and had a good time there. The day that we were supposed to go to the concert is when we ev...
