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. Let's explore the moon landing and whether it was fake or real, with the most likely solution being that the moon landing was faked so the US could compete with Russia in the “space race”.             Neil Armstrong was ...

  What do you imagine when you hear the words "classified government disease laboratory"? Do you picture a heavily guarded research facility, teeming with dangerous and infectious pathogens and plagued with mysterious motives, or a noble research center where scientist learn to defend the western world against the perils of bioterrorism? These are the opposing views with which the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, or PIADC, is seen. One conspiracy about Plum Island regards it as the birthplace of Lyme Disease, while another claims that it creates deformed creatures through horrific experiments. Although seemingly implausible, the island is regarded by theorists as, “a biological ticking time bomb” (Carroll, 267). It's close proximity to the heavily populated city of Manhattan creates further concern about the center's operations. If there is truth to these sinister rumors, then the PIADC has the potential to do much more harm than good to Americans and people around ...

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. Her flight was cut short when she went missing around the central Pacific Ocean (1). Many people believe she crashed her plane and died on impact. But what really happened to Amelia Earhart on July 2, 1937? Did Amelia really crash her plane in the Pacific Ocean?  If so, where’s the evidence? Wouldn’t we be able to find at least something proving that she crashed (Greshko 1)? Many conspir...

All turned, when Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, singer/rapper, died in a car accident on her way back home after her spiritual journey in Honduras ( Pareles). Did someone need to get her “out of the way”, did Suge Knight have her killed, or was it an accident ( “Lisa Lopes: Left Eye's Fatal Vision”)? Let’s take a deeper look.  Character Analysis:  Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes was a successful rapper/singer in a group called TLC, which was formed in 1992 (TLC Members Recall Singer’s Death).

She even burned...

                             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. The American child beauty pageant queen was found with a broken skull and had been strangled. A garrote was found around her neck. The official cause of death was asphyxia by strangulation and a traumatic brain injury due to the blow to her head. Her death was classified as a homicide and caught the eye of nationwide media. So who killed her, you might ask? There is said to have been more than one person involved. Perhaps the brother and the parents, others conclude just her parents were to bl...
