Thought Bubble | MLK Jr. legacy more complicated than we were taught in grade school
Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. day, which is great because we didn’t have school, but it’s also great because we got to commemorate a great man.

Thought Bubble | Many classic books worth the effort
Books are categorized as classics on the basis that no matter when you read it, the book will always be relevant.
Some of the most commonly known classics are “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Of Mice and Men,” mainly because they are both taught in high school English classes. Though most classics are widely known, people still tend to be hesitant to read them. Some classics can be very beneficial to read though —that’s what makes them classics. They have stood the test of time and continue to do so.
