Jessica Sjostrom Hammett English 1301 Dec. 10, 2017 Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 Moon Landing “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” the infamous words of astronaut, Neil Armstrong, as he first stepped foot on the moon (Armstrong). That one phrase has since started a new found nationally and sense of pride in many Americans. Many children dream of becoming astronauts and accomplishing what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin accomplished on July 20, 1969 (“Apollo Moon Landing – 35 th Anniversary”). However, this all might be a lie. Some believe NASA faked the moon landing to advance their position in the “space race” with Russia.

Stephen Minor English 1301 Prof. Hammett Final Research Exam November 27, 2017 Amelia Earhart Disappearance Introduction: “Decide whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying…” (“Biography” 1). Amelia Earhart was faced with many difficult decisions during her career in aviation. She was faced with discrimination, journeys of uncertainty, and even potential death. Amelia Earhart had a bright future ahead of her. She was on her way to the record books of being the first woman to fly across the world. But her path to glory came to an abrupt and unexpected ending.

Wouldn’t we be able to find at least something proving that she crashed (Greshko 1)? Many conspir...

Murder is an inhumane act, but the murder of your own child? Now that’s cruel. On the night of December 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colorado, the adorable, innocent, six year old, JonBenet Ramsey was brutally murdered in her own home. She was reported missing hours after her death and found about eight hours later in the basement of her home.
