Melanie was absent today.

Hailey started writing a rough draft of the essay. John did more research on the political figures, exspecially Nixon. We discussed the dealines and work load, as well as filling Melanie.
Also we have decided, in our essay to use the online examples (such as the Hilary Clinton macro) as evidence towards the connection between Dr. Seuss and our thesis.
Other possible examples include any case where people fear theunkown or clign to what is lost.
