What We've Been Learning In Class This Quarter!

This quarter in Ms. Belkov's Lit class, we've been learning about Upstander's.  We are doing a research paper on an Upstander of our choice.  I'm really excited about this one because I love learning and doing this type of stuff.  If you didn't know already, an upstander is a person who stands up when they see injustice.  For example, like Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, etc. 
  My Upstander is Angelina Jolie.  Many of you know her, and if you don't she's an actress.  She was the main character in the movie "Maleficent".  She's also a director, and she recently directed a movie called "Unbroken".  She has done many things to benefit society, and to me she is very inspiring.  In an article that I read, I heard that she "helps launch New Centre For Women, Peace and Security".  Jolie participating in this action, along with the government, they are trying to put an end to women who are victims of sexual violence. This will benefit society because it will help the women who do get abused and are victims of sexual violence.
