Clarity. Runner-up in Epic Beginnings Challenge.
For Catherine Crane, life was muddled, murky. In a word, miserable. Until the eclipse made everything clear. *** Legally blind from birth, Catherine saw everything through an extraordinarily narrow lens. Her sight was nonexistent save for one exceedingly small point on each of her pupils—tunnel vision that forced her to put puzzle pieces together to realize the faces of those around her.

A Voice of Democracy
Why is American history so significant? After all, the vast majority of students nationwide have been told since day one to focus on preparing for the future, so why do teachers, professors, and even parents insist that we learn so much about the past? Well, while many of us might not aspire to be historians when we grow up, there is something to be said for how history has impacted all of us as Americans, even if none of us were around when our nation was founded. Sure, everything that our nation has been through up until now can’t be changed, as there’s no going back in time. Slavery, segregation, political and economic reform, industrialization, and even war, happened, and are now permanently documented in the history books. If we can’t change anything about history, even the parts we aren’t proud of, what’s the point in learning about it?
