This is Cassandra R from period 6 20th Century. On April 29, 2011 the Royal Wedding was held for William and Kate Middleton. The wedding was held at Westminster Abbey, which is home to great amounts of English history. This wedding held a huge purpose in the English’s culture. After Prince William’s father, Prince Charles, takes the throne William will then become king of England. We, as American’s, are fascinated by this wedding due to it’s extravagance. Although it holds no real importance to us, we enjoy watching such a monumental moment. The wedding was beautiful and was a happy occasion to enjoy despite whatever problems America is having. A major difference I saw during the wedding was that Kate was not the only one wearing white, unlike our traditions. I found it interesting that the wedding is such a magnificent thing in England. We do not make such great deals of any weddings, no matter how important the person is. American’s do not rejoice in the happiness of our leaders. The Royal Wedding was a wonderful thing to watch and enjoy for all Americans.

The United States killed Osama Bin Laden. Therefore, i feel as if that puts the United States in danger. I feel as if some one from Pakistan is going to come over to the United States and bomb us, or do something crazy. It’s great that we found him, but it still makes me scared. He was our biggest rivalry. The United States solders weren’t supposed to be in Pakistan in the first place. It is now unpredictable the events that might occur in the nearby future in our country due to this. Even though the death of Bin Laden is a huge accomplishment it still scares me.
