I chose the one about Catholic countries, because I am Catholic and think it is important. I chose the one about Don Ritchie because i think that is just amazing! I chose the one about the Yarra River Bridge because i think it is so sad that a bridge killed 35 people so meny people lost loved ones that day. I chose the baseball attendice record once because I love to watch baseball! I lastly chose the child labor law because that saves so meny people for being forced to work and do things well they are so young they have there hole life infront of them to have to work at a young age.
