Explain the Plot of "Dear Evan Hanson"
Evan Hanson is a high school senior who struggles with social anxiety disorder. He is assigned by his therapist to write letters to himself about why each day will be good, which becomes the catalyst for the plot of the story. He also has never had any friends, and has had a crush on Zoe Murphy for a very long time. After Connor's death, he begins to tell lies of him being friends with Connor to the Murphy family because they found Evan's letter to himself folded up in Connor's pocket; they thought Connor wrote it to Evan. The first act centers on his outreach propelled by Connor's death, while the second act has him unleash his yearning towards the Murphys and his anger towards Heidi and Jared, who he believes have used him for validation and ignored him when they didn't need him.

Explain the extent of North Korea's nuclear abilities and the effects it has on the South China Sea's growing conflict.
The gist is they have short range nukes while Japan and South Korea dont. Their nukes cannot reach the US but they are working to develop rockets that can. The major deterrent preventing them form nuking Korea or Japan is that we will nuke them. If they develop missiles that can reach us then we no longer can nuke them in retaliation for fear of nuclear retaliation
Descrive the current situation in Puerto Rico
There's still little power on the island. In many places, there's still no water to drink or bathe in or to flush toilets. There's limited food and cell service, and dozens of remote villages have been completely cut off from everything for weeks. "Make no mistake — this is a humanitarian disaster involving 3.4 million US citizens," Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said the Monday after Maria hit. The initial recovery response from the US federal government has been lackluster, and President Trump's comments have not inspired confidence. After dwelling early in the week on the facts that 1) Puerto Rico is an island, and 2) Puerto Rico is in massive debt, the president and his senior officials then went on the defensive, describing the administration's response so far as a "good news story." The Federal Emergency Management Agency still has not authorized full reconstruction aid to Puerto Rico. "Help us. Without robust and consistent help we will die," Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, said in a statement on October 12. "Mr. President, fulfill your moral imperative towards the people of Puerto Rico." This is still a terrible disaster that deserves more coverage and a better-coordinated response — and both appear to have been impeded by widespread confusion about Puerto Rico's relationship to the United States and the severity of its current situation. Here's what every American needs to know.
