Cabin in the Woods

      Mary, Troy, and Janaija Beckham took a trip this summer that was very unusual for them. Family members suggested that they should do a combined trip, and they agreed, not yet knowing what the trip would be. It turns out, their family wanted to take a trip to the woods, and stay in a cabin. Shocked, Beckham was immediately against the idea. "Do you know how many dangerous animals there are out there?!," she exclaimed to her family. But, all in all, she had no choice in the trip because her mother and father thought that this trip would be a great experience. The ride there was agonizing, and for the most part, it was filled with snoring.  

      Beckham did not know just how much she would enjoy this trip. "We're going on a wildnerness hike tomorrow," her father told her after they had arrived, already having the trip planned out. She dreaded that hike, staying up through the night thinking about the different ways the experience could turn out. Eventually, after walking around and seeing all the beautiful creatures changed her eperience. Her favorite part ended up being seeing the cubs, seeing animals that were so cute, and so small, not able to hurt a fly if they wanted made the experience much better. She even took pictures and enjoyed the rest lf the hike after that. 

      The drive home for the Beckhams was an odd experience, more or less. Driving down the road, they saw a ton of cars stopped along the road. "Look at all this traffic," Mrs. Beckham spoke, thinking that the roads were just really busy. After driving further, they all saw why the cars were stopped. There were two huge bears alongside the road, closer than the animals at the hike were. They were roaming the road as if they were just stray dogs, frightening the family. After going home, it felt nice to not see forest animals roaming all throughout the day. But since the experience was fun, they considered going back again next year. It was an experience like no other.

Another big celebrity event that occurred was the Kimye wedding, which we were all eagerly awaiting. The wedding happened very early in the summer, but no one knew what it even looked like until the wedding photos were released. The photos were beautiful, reflecting the nice and simple ceremony the two put on. A lot of people would think, why is this newsworthy? It's just wedding pictures, but really, it's the wedding picture's of a lifetime to most people. The people who have been huge fans of the Kardashians or of Kimye and were waiting to see this moment arise.

This story was possibly the biggest story of the summer. The Ebola outbreak that was occurring. It was not some simple virus, which would think. Maybe another 24 hour virus or a small sickness that they could easily find a cure for, and frankly, this wasn't it. Ebola is a deadly disease, that kills, and is spreading like wildfire from West Africa due to people not caring to keep it confined. People have traveled on planes that show the symptoms, traveling and passing on the virus, worsening it throughout time.

Michael Brown was another touching story, similar to the story of Trayvon Martin. The story of a boy and his friend walking to the local quick trip. The police had gotten a call that a suspect that had just robbed a store was headed to that QT. So, upon seeing Michael Brown, the officer shoots him down and kills him immediately, without even confronting before shooting or confirming that it was indeed his guy. So, the family of Michael Brown has hired the same lawyer that covered the Trayvon Martin case, and is assisted with the empathy of their family.

Recently, a new terrorist group has been formed, named as ISIS. They aren't in the US, or currently causing the US any trouble, but we are never too quick to let our guards down. Really, groups like this are unpredictable and the best thing the government can do is to just watch them as carefully as we can and make sure they are not causing any trouble for us because then, there would be chaos and we would have to fight back.
