The Big Day

        It is the bride's wedding day. She and her father keep looking at the clock, hoping of someone to turn up. A guy in a Volkswagen is driving really fast to the wedding ceremony. The man keeps getting slowed down by obstacles including a slow car and a train. When the man finally reaches the ceremony, the bride and groom are about to say "I Do."

The Big Day Story

 July 9th, 2017 in sunny side California was the day of Johny Depp and Victoria Adams' wedding. But did the bride have second thoughts? "Every bride gets the butterfly feeling before their wedding day," Adams said. Why was she dodging the question? We talked to Johnny to see if anything suspicious was happening. "I'm sure there will be small issues, but what wedding doesn't have them," Depp said. But when David Beckham bursts through the doors during the ceremony, it was no small issue. Confessing his love to Victoria in front of Johnny was a risky move. Victoria retreated to her dressing room, conflicted about what to do.  "She is the love my life and the only women that I have ever loved so deeply," Beckham said. Even maid of honor Lindsey Luan knew Beckham and Adams would end up together. "When she is with David, her eyes light up and fill with love. She could never love someone as much as she does him,&

NFL players should be allowed to decide whether they stand or not for the National Anthem. The US flag means something different for everybody, therefore, not everybody is going to agree on standing for the National Anthem. It does not show disrespect by not standing, it just isn't somet

My Top Story of the Century

1. Jackie Robinson breaks baseball's color barrier. 1947       Jackie Robinson becomes the first African American major league baseball player with the Brooklyn Dodger on April 15, 1947. He played first base and went zero for three at the plate. He encountered racism from opposing teams, fans and even some of his teammates, but that never stopped him from achieving his dream.       I think that this is one of the most interesting of the top-three events that happened in the 1900's because it started an amazing opportunity for racism to be put to a stop. Also, it gave other African Americans hope and motivation to pursue their dreams. This is also the most interesting event because it included a popular sport that everybody in the US knows about, therefore making it a large story. 2.  Worldwide flu epidemic kills 20 million. 1918.                                                    This deadly flu disease affected 25 percent of the U.S. population and took about 675,00

Current Event #3

1. 7,000 2. UT has helped him lead a more balanced and meaningful life 3. anyone under the age of 17 cannot be out in public in a business between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. 4.more than $2,000 5. Flatliners Long Response 1. His decision was unlike something he usually does. Mr. trump usually has many of his part leaders have a say in which he does. 2. I think that Mr. Trump was motivated to read this decision without the support of his party leaders because he wants to help his people in America instead of watching them suffer. He could have possibly imagined himself in their situation and do what he would have wanted the higher power to do. 3. I think the GOP leaders think that Mr. Trump makes snap decisions that may not be for the best without thinking. Also, they might think he is dismissing their opinions and think he is trying to have all the power for himself. 4. I think that the United States will benefit from Mr. Trumps decision because the people may now feel like he really
