Acknowledgments

Throughout the process of completing my paper, there have been numerous people who have positively contributed. I would first like to thank my mentor, Mrs. Lewis, for offering positive input during our cycle meetings. This input allowed me to further my paper and helped me to solidified my stance on the topic I was researching. I would also like to thank my fellow student Ali Glickstein and My mother Jackie Burke. Each continually edited my paper drafts, making corrections where necessary. Their revisions helped me to better my writing and therefore produce a well thought out body of writing. Another person I would like to thank for their contributions is my course teacher, Mr. Alexander. Mr. Alexander helped me to further understand the specific requirments of this project and helped me brainstorm ideas for my presentation. Lastly, I would like to thank my sister, Julia, for participating in the development of my project. Her input greatly influenced my project and allowed me to offer a personal take on the topic I choose to express.
