In this essay, I argued to keep music electives because they develop young brains and improve academics, teaches commitment and appreciation for hard work, and improve behavior.

I used the story 'Stop The Sun' to create this essay. This essay is about the Vietnam War, and details important aspects of the war from start to end. This connects to my story because Terry's father in the story 'Stop The Sun' was suffering from severe PTSD as a result of the Vietnam War. The sections I'm most proud of are the attention-grabber and the 1st paragraph detailing the causes of the war. I like the visual I was able to create with the attention-grabber and I think I made the beginning of the war easier for non-history people to understand.
