Lien Hoang Mr. Donoughe 6­7­16 8­7 The county council should allow the monument to stay where it is because taking it away would be taking away a part of our history. The debate was on whether the monument of Confederates soldiers should be removed because they represented a side that supported slavery. Many would find this offensive, but many would be angered if that statue was put away. This monument is historic and should be preserve for it showing a part of our past. It can be a reminder and others can learn from it to study our histor...

“When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful” Malala stated. The consequences and risks are always worth it when facing against injustice. Three sources and examples that support this is in an article called “Taliban Gun Down Girl Who Spoke Up for Rights”, a speech spoken by Severn Cullis­Suzuki, and a poem called “Protest” written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The first source that supports why facing injustice is always worth it is from an article called “Taliban Gun Down Girl Who Spoke Up for Rights”. It is about a brave 11 year...

Lien Hoang Grade 8 Dec. 2015 “Would You Have Quit?”  “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” (Thomas Paine) In history class, students were given an assignment to write an essay on whether to stay or go at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War. Staying would be a better choice for me personally. I chose to stay at Valley Forge because why quit when you can help serve your country honorably instead o...

Lien Hoang 8-4 Child Labor From early day to late night From dark times to daylight A never ending round Of children being bound A fast rotation Across the nation Abandoned and alone Sad and without a home Always end up crying Because the truth’s blinding Beaten black and blue Spat out after chewed Slowly dying inside While freedom is denied Forever believing But a dream’s deceiving

An episode in my life describing a move to another place was when my family and I moved from Vietnam to the United States.  My mom wanted my sister and I to have a better education and more opportunities. I was really sad when I had to leave my dad, his family, my school and my friends. I was a new advent at my new school. I was really lonely then but after I made my new friends. The neighborhood we moved in has a friendly ambience. I was an itinerant because my family has moved to different places many times. I went to four elementary schools total. I had good friends there and felt sad to leave them. Cà Na  6 grade
