Read the excerpt from “A Flag with 50 Stars.”

Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes.

“But Black Panther’s popularity was due to more than the excellent acting, brisk action, and thrilling Wakandan costumes and landscape.

A) “After all, before the movie’s debut, most people had never heard of the Black Panther. If they had, they might have confused the character with the 1960s political group of the same name.”

B) “The first black superhero in American comics, the Panther debuted in 1966 in Fantastic Four #52. In that issue, Lee and Kirby created a new world, introducing T’Challa—the Panther—as the ruler of a mythical African kingdom, Wakanda.”

C) “Marvel had been trying to make a movie about Black Panther since 1997. As often happens in Hollywood, however, it took many years to happen.”

-Imagine you have access to free “live another day” pills. For each day you take the pill, you do not age at all. You could take them every day for a thousand years and not age. You can still be killed by natural accidents, but you’ll stop aging. Every day you don’t take them, you’ll age normally for that day. There are no physical or mental or spiritual negative side effects to the pill at any level. Do you take the pill? Why or why not? Without aging many of the industries that exist will be decimated such as hospitals and an even more interesting thought would be how the earth would accommodate so many people. Our resources for energy and food production are limited, so I wonder how the earth would be able to adapt to much longer lives. Would you take it?
