Malala Yousafzai

        In the article about Malala, in the 3rd paragraph it states, "

Ms. Yousafzai, noting that she was proud to be wearing a shawl that had once belonged to Benazir Bhutto, spoke in a calm, self-assured voice as she delivered her first major speech since she was shot on the left side of her head Oct. 9 on her way home from school in Pakistan’s Swat Valley." The shawl of the woman of whom it previously had belonged to had been shot as well as Malala had been. this goes to show that the freedoms of public free schooling is something that is of great importance. Not everyone has this privilege. Some have to fight for it.as Malala  and many others have. 
        In Malala's speech, in the body, she tells of how her influences "  Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Gandhi and Mother Teresa" have Lead her to enter onto a peaceful journey to free education for all. She has begun on peaceful travels towards a goal that she sees possible. Ms. Yousafzai sees this goal in her future and knows that it is possible. though others have lost all visions of change, she sees this coming to pass. She knows of the possibilities of a peaceful protest and prays and searches for the ultimate goal of an education. education is powerful and Malala strives to see this freedom for all humans in every place.

The time I went to the the Museum 
        The exciting, absolutely wonderful trip to the Old Regional Independence County Museum was very informational. Ashamed to say, I have never been previous to my trip with you. 'Twas quite interesting to learn and hear of the history of the wonderful town of Batesville, Arkansas, in which I live. Much like the journey into Mrs. Gillmore's room, we have begun on a quest of wisdom and knowledge. Knowledge we absorb in her class, same as the information we have taken to our spongy little brains.

        We took upon this journey to learn about our assigned years for information for the book the we have to write. i have been assigned the very exciting school session of 1928-1929. I did not learn much. For the years accounted for in this session were at a time when the roaring 20's were about to come to a screeching hault. I did in fact learn some about how the school functioned at a time such as this and that the football team had a winning season. how much this will help me, I am not sure of, but it is a start.

       The direction I plan to take is yet unknown. I have many choices. i have yet to find any influential personnel or any exciting facts about the session of schooling in these years. But I do know that the years i am assigned will be found out about. The hidden mysteries of the late 1920's will be undone.

Malaysian Flight MH370

Malaysian Flight MH370
By: Isaiah Huffman
        The Malaysian Flight MH370, a missing airplane that brought with it a huge mystery, was wrecked and lost due to a mechanical fault. According to Ong Hwee Hwee, an assistant news editor, "It emerged on Sunday that the plane had made an unusual U-turn attempt in the final moments before radar contact was broken off, triggering speculation that it could have turned back because of mechanical fault," in the article "Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: 5 theories on what could have happened to MH370." When you have a mechanical difficulty the plain has to routinely turn around and come back to the original airportthat the plane belongs to. Thus, having a mechanical difficulty, this could have been just added on top of the fact that the plane was simply malfunctional. In the articleAhmad Jauhari Yahya said, "When there is an air turn-back, the pilot would be unable to proceed as planned." Meaning that this plane would have turned around in this ATB (air turn-back) with no probable way to make it to the destination. Hence, this flight was too far for the damaged plane and was canceledOpposing this, "
