    rights and personal freedoms. One of the only real reasons that we fought the British during the American Revolution was because we were devoid of these rights by the British king, George the 3rd.

    Eva’s life seems to reach a standstill. Her life seems to be confined to a pickup truck, with wary glances exchanged between Dylan and her. Her life seems to coincide with her shaky hands and bouncing thighs. She hates it, although she seems to hate a lot of things now. She is facing the worst kind of anticipation. Hoping to never hear the police sirens resonate within her ears. Desperately attempting to shake the images of too much blood on the roof. The smell of metal is so strong that it still

    same room, the same bed and the same house I have been waking up to for so long waited for me to rise for the day ahead. Everyone around knew what was happening. It had been long anticipated by everyone in the facility. It is known around here as “Freedom Day”. No longer will I be trapped and helpless or be told what my every action will be (well at least not by anyone here). I am crossing through those gates, which have contained me for ninety days. I am still in shock from relief and happiness from

They have only been operational now for less than a year, so they are still trying to get new people to join their church. For this reason, this past Friday they put on a huge Easter event for kids and adults that had games, dinner, and a worship service.

    When I hear the words “Freedom of Religion” the first thing that comes to my mind is having the freedom to worship in spirit, and in truth the way that I want to. It means not being confine to how I serve God. I am able to choose whatever church I want to go to, believe in whatever God I want to believe in, and express myself the way I want to. I can do this, without the fear of being judged, or told that what I am doing is wrong. I have the right to make all the decisions when It comes to my religious

    My Freedom Life is a mystery, one minute, things seem calm and peaceful, and the next, chaotic. In life, there will always be situations that occur randomly, and their severity are too random. Random was not the case for me receiving a car for my 16th Birthday. I had been waiting months for my birthday to arrive, for my car was in sight. Both my father Steven and my mother, Felicia, had made it very clear that I was to get a car for my birthday, but not necessarily the new 2016 blue Chevrolet Malibu

    changed and adapted to a desirable social order, Voltaire's Candide shows the difficulty of being within the sorry state of the human experience. But where does the concept of personal freedom come into play within these two basic premises? And how can a person compare such highly different interpretations of the spectrum of personal experience? Hobbes has presented to the reader a geometric and organized map of an ideal governing situation. Man is a product of nature. But the interpretation of
