How Could Something So Dark Still be Accessible?

 This week's chosen article was, "I Went on the Dark Web and Instantly Regretted It." by Kallol Mazumdar. Within their article they reveal the terrors that lurk in the encrypted web pages. It really brings light to the hidden servers and makes you ask, why are they still accessible?


To even get into the servers you need a secured search engine and for extra security a VPN. Then when you get in, you're met with illegal services, for example, hitmen services, drugs, and illicit films. There are writers and journalists that linger around the servers looking for a good story, but none are jumping at the opportunity to uncover their sources. I appreciated this article because it tries to reveal the truth to the dark web that so many had no awareness of. In my own experiences I've come across social media influencers who share their findings on the dark web and each are prison sentence worthy. They keep their identities hidden for security purposes. I feel like more people should be exposing the dark web, even the author states, "The point of writing this piece, I think, is to make people aware such a thing exists and visualize with their own eyes that this is what we have collectively become, and that's saddening." It truly is saddening if the people that are aware of the dark web's doing and are completely fine with it, it should be exposed. 


In conclusion, the criminal activities on the dark web should be shut down completely and the perpetrators brought to justice. Their actions are sickening and need to be exposed to more people so the dark web can be eradicated for good.

Welcome to my Blog! A little about the writer. To start, my name is Emily. English is a very important part of my life. Thanks to the wonderful education system in America, I am proud to announce I can read and write. Anyways, why I think that is important is because to be able to voice your opinion is power. The written word holds the entirety of human knowledge, and that's awesome!

Harrisons VP

  John Tyler isn't very commonly discussed but when he is he's labeled as the worst United States president. The article "The President that History Forgot" by Thomas Mann goes into detail about Tyler's upbringing and and presidency. I wouldn't say John Tyler is forgotten for a multitude of reasons, the most common being he is labeled as America's worst president, and how he came to office was very interesting. I don't think Tyler was prepared to become president at all. In the fourth paragraph of the article, it explains how Tyler wanted to be VP to Harrison but didn't intend to become president. It says, "Harrison's death soon raised a constitutional question: what would happen to Tyler?" This hints that Harrison's death was very sudden and the thought of Tyler succeeding him wasn't pondered long enough. However, the later quote in the same paragraph, "Tyler on his own initiative, claimed he was now the president."...

Art Has Become Lazy.

  The angry tone of Dana Loesch attracted me to her article "The Times Square Statue Is An Insult." The bronze lump in Times Square had to have been agreed upon by a multitude of people for it to have even been erected. Many people including I are upset that this piece is being compared to Michelangelo's David. This sculpture labeled as "art" feels lazy compared to the masterpiece David. The author highlights the detail in the statue of David. It's completely perfect anatomically. The statue conveys emotion; you can see a serious expression and a poised stance with tensed muscles. Michelangelo took a discarded piece of marble and transformed it into probably the most perfect thing on earth. He sacrificed his reputation by studying anatomy and physiology in a time when it was considered unjust, so yes when a bronze statue that conveys nothing is compared to David it's an outrage. When you compare the two statures starting from the top you can see the hair...
