The movie We Were Soldiers was a movie depicting the Vietnam war, mainly The Battle of La Drang. It was based off of the book written by veterans who lived through the battle. The goal of this movie was to correctly portray the war in a non-Hollywood flare way.

The setting and locations was a tricky topic for the producer to work on. Though the real

Fortune can cause men and women to have greed, which will lead to immoral decisions. The rioters had thought of wealth as a symbol of high-stature. Chaucer wrote
Columbus: Hero or Evil? If you think Columbus is a hero, think again. Both Carroll’s essay and Columbus’s journal give us bias opinions on Columbus. However, Zinn gives us a bigger picture of the truth and remains un-biased. Warren H. Carrol tries to convince the reader that Columbus is a hero and he is rightly honored.

Over the past few years, "Pretty Little Liars" has become one of my favorite TV shows. It is one of those shows that comes with so many different twist and turns.
