1. Main characters are Richard Phil lips, Ali Aden Elmi, Hamac, Abduwali Muse, and Larry Aashiem.

Prompt: "You let a blind man drive, so you don't get a opinion."
Bright yellow police tape stretched between the
large oaks that run along the outskirts of the field, enclosing the crime
scene form the public viewing. Multiple police and EMS vehicles line
the park while officers keep the curious
citizens from entering the scene. Six very annoyed detectives surround yet the
second dead body found that very day. "Why is the body always found at the
most inconvenient time of day?," whined Detective Todd.
"It's only 2 in the afternoon,"
bluntly stated Detective Young.
"But that is the time my Soap Opera
comes on."
"You have to be kidding me."
"Hey! I don't judge you on-"
"Will you two stop bickering!," cut in
Detective Molly. "We have a job to do and were already short one
person."
The other three detectives who were moments ago
watching the argument with amused expressions now had a sour look on their face
at the mention their fellow detective who has failed to show up to the scene
yet. Not wanting to argue with the head detective, the group got down to
work.
The body laying in front of them looked like any
other middle aged women who obviously had one to many plastic surgery done,
other than the fact that she was found buried under 3 feet of solid ground.
"Do we have any witness?," questioned
Detective Scott.
"Only two homeless guys," answered
Detective Eric while motioning the witness to come over.
Of course the witnesses had to be Henry and Gus,
their always the same ones to "claim” to see every attack that happens in
the park but gives the most useless information when asked about it.
"Are you going to give us information that is
actually useful this time?," plainly asked Detective John.
"We'll talk for money," stated Gus.
"That’s not how its works."
"Fine then I guess we won't tell you."
"We could get more useful information from
broken security cameras then from you two," commented Detective Eric
already turning away from the two.
"Wait, last night I saw-," started Henry.
Before he could finish his story, the sounds of screeching
tire wheels cut him off mid sentence.
All heads whipped towards the entrance of the park where a white Honda
rushed into the park leaving tire tracks behind, before doing a full 360 turn
and stopping yards away from the group of detectives.
The passenger opens and the one and only Detective
William steps out with smug smirk on his lips.
"Best uber drive ever, who ever knew a blind
man could drive so good," happily chirped Detective Williams while walking
to the rest of the shock group of people. After realizing what the heck just
happened Detective Molly furiously walked up to the new arrival and japed a
finger at his chest asking, "Why were you late and what the heck were you
thinking?"
"That not important at the moment what is
important is the case," said Detective Todd who's impatiently waiting for
this to be over so he could go back to his TV show.
"Okay then my theory is that she has hit
multiple times with a-," started the least popular person at the moment
Detective Williams.
"Shut it," harshly stated detective Molly
who was currently glaring daggers at the fellow detective.
"I was only going say what my opinion-."
"You let a blind man drive , so you don't get
a opinion."
"Fair enough."

1. Harriet Tubman
2. A new elevation system that tries teachers score to student performance on standardized test.
3.
4. How microgravity affects algae growth.
5. Layout, paint, window treatments, and upholstery.
Short answers
1. After reading this story I think that the government and officials in charge of the water department did a terrible job of making sure the citizens were healthy. I think that more officials should be charged if they had any connections to this issue. I am socked that the government let this situation become this much of a crisis before taking any type of action.
2. I did know this issue before reading the story. This situation has been talked about in the news for a while but i didn't know that anyone was charged yet.
3. The people who knew about this information but choose not to take action and but many people in risk of health hazards should be charged. I think that anyone who messed with information and knew that the were also effecting children's drinking water should be help accountable for their actions.
4. I think that if the governor or other big government officials are founded guilty of knowing about this issue the should b charged with the same charges as the city leaders. I think that it doesn't matter how high up in the government they are they should still be held accountable for their actions.

3. Villanova and the score was 77-74.
4. Out of all the destinations I would want to go to Australia because I want to go to the Great Barrier Reef.

Also I would want to go to China because my dad went before told me its amazing and I want to learn more about the history and food of that country.
5. I like the idea of Instagram expanding its videos because the video won't be as rushed.
Short Answers
1. The major candidates left in the race are Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and John Kasich.
2. I don't completely agree to much with any of the candidates because I agree and disagree with both the Republican and Democratic but if I were to support a candidate I would support either Hilary or Bernie even through I am neither a Democrat or a Republican. I would support the democratic candidates more because the tackle the problems I think are the most important.
3. I feel like the United States are becoming a little more united but we are still divided when it comes to who will make a better President. If the United States becomes united or becomes divided depends on who are the two people picked who picked to run in the race.
4. What concerns me the most about the elections is if the candidates are telling the truth about what they are going to do if they become President. I am worried about if the wrong person gets elected and if foreign relationships will get affect by this.
5. I think immigration is a big topic that is being discussed by the candidates and the equal pay. I also think that gun rights are being discussed a lot as well.
6. The topics that are the most important to me the foreign relationships. And the funds for school education is also important for me since I still have my years of school ahead of me to consider.
