Vaccines Being Administered

BY XUYING LEE

STAFF WRITER

With all of the downhearted news and current events that have been going on, one positive is the administration of vaccines against Covid-19. Since being in office, President Biden has set a goal of over 100 million vaccines to be administered within his first 100 days as president, in which his goal was met on the 59th day of his administration. His new goal is to have administered 200 million vaccines within his first 100 days in office. As of right now, there are three main types of vaccines that are being administered. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the Pfizer, and Moderna. If you are to receive the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, you will need two doses for the vaccine to work more effectively. With the new discovery of these vaccines, we hope for the spread of Covid- 19 to slowly decrease and become a thing of the past. For more information on doses and types of vaccines, go to cdc.gov.

How to Write a Plot Twist

BY ALICE FONTANESI

STAFF WRITER

For some reason, when I was starting my first book I put in one of the most obvious plot twists in all of my years of reducing myself to half a brain cell over a fictional story. That is half the reason why I recycled that story because everything is chaos. How to avoid this? Write good plot twists. Guess what, it’s a lot harder than you think.

Let’s take a look at an overview of the monumental changes that occurred that day.

April Pink Moon and Lyrid Meteor Shower

BY XUYING LEE

STAFF WRITER

In the month of April this year, we can expect many space phenomenons that only happen once in decades. On April 26th of 2021, we will be able to see a full pink moon, which will be the first of two supermoons happening this year. It will reach peak illumination, which is when it will be the brightest, at around 11 p.m. It is called a supermoon because supermoons are “bigger” and “brighter” than the average moon, too.

It makes legal scholars question whether, say, a seventeen year old raised by an abusive  parent should get a lifetime in jail, or lesser punishment. Flow Psychology.com details some pros and cons to sentencing children as adults:
