I’m on the fence whether I think marijuana and alcohol should be banned. There are pros and cons for each side. If marijuana and alcohol were completely legalized it would cause a lot of problems. People would start to do even stupider things than they already do. It would make everyone’s life around them more dangerous. It would be expensive for the people that develop habits. There might be a chance that if we don’t ban it though, people won’t feel rebellious and want to do it anyway. If we make laws to only allow a certain amount sold to people, that might work out, but banning it completely would be chaotic.

Current events is fun! We get to learn more about the world or Wisconsin by fun little questions. That Orangutan story was very bizzare!

I agree. We should have just left ourselves out of it. It would have been better to just keep to ourselves.

Westward Migration was as good of a thing as some people thought. They dreamed of a better place to live, but in the end some of them didn't even get to see it.

In the trenches, soldiers would also dig tunnels. Through these tunnels they could destroy an enemies trench and then attack while the enemy was confused.

Snipers are trained men carrying rifles with telescope sights. They could find trees in the no man's land. They would hide away in that tree and wait for people to come by. They wore camouflage clothing to blend in with their surroundings.

During World War 1, many soldiers spent life in the trenches. It was a rough life to live. They had to worry about rats, catching diseases, shellfire, and body lice.

This is very true. All of those people traveled west to try and find a better life, when most of them probably realized they had a better life back where they were living than all of the trouble they went through to try and find the perfect life.

Yellow Journalism was a type of journalism where the writers would use incredible headlines, typically false, to pull the reader in.

Muckrakers were journalists who would expose the abuses of businiess and the corruption in politics. In my opinion, that was not a good idea at all. But who knows maybe some of the things they were saying needed to be said.
