My topic

My research question is:  How did tensions at the Yalta Conference in February 1945 come back and become larger during the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States? This is a very important topic in both United States and world history. The Cold War was a major event that took place between the Soviet Union and the United States between the fall of the Grand Alliance and the fall of communism in the USSR. It represented the struggle between capitalism and communism in the world during that time. The Yalta conference was a meeting during the Grand Alliance that was very important in the alliance. It also had a strong impact on the Cold War. Agreements and disagreements at Yalta ended up becoming large issues and struggles between the two nations during the Cold War. The agreement of a new United Nations organization ended up not working out very well. The temporary division and occupation of Germany resulted in the building of the Berlin Wall, which lasted for nearl...

2. If you are in a position of power, you are happy. 5. Women are more compassionate and less violent than men.

2. If you are in a position of power, that certainly does not always make you happy. In fact, sometimes it causes the exact opposite.

Some of that is standard aging, but much of it is due to the stress of being in power. It is not always happy, even though it may be worth it if you make a positive impact. 5. Women are typically less violent and more compassionate than men. I believe this is because of the process of childbirth and the feelings that they have for life after those experiences. I don't think the same can be said for girls, because they have nor birthed children yet. Men are typically much more cold and easily turn on each other. Generalizations are never the answer, but typically women are kinder. There are always anomalies though.

Hits and Misses

In English this year, I have had some ups and downs. Overall, I have done well. My favorite piece of writing was my personal narrative. I felt that it was something I really got into and therefore it was very well-written. It was one of those pieces of writing that you keep revising and revising even when it might be perfect. I also felt very good about my research paper. I really put in the time throughout all the steps of my research and paid attention to citations, resulting in a good final draft. The one piece of writing I did not enjoy this year was the literary analysis. I think a lot of the reason for this is because I was sick of Lord of The Flies. I did not want to analyze it anymore. I also did not enjoy this as much because it was close to the end of a semester. I think I was busy with exams and didn't pay as much attention to this. Overall, what I have learned is to pick topics that interest you. That will make your writing much better.
