Our epic foolishness

I completely agree with this article. The government is acting very foolishly. It hard to realize that we have money in order to fight in the war but can not stop the fuel from leaking. Its real ironic how we have have so much money for other things then what is really important and what matters in life.

Saving the Worlds women

This whole newspaper article is horrible. It is unbelievable that in 2010 we still have issues such as this. Women are just as powerful as women if not more. A good example of this was Saima how she started off bad and wound up extremely wealthy. She went through poverty, abuse and still came out on top. She end up providing for all who critized her. That was such a good thing.

man dying on septa

If i was in a different country I would think that Philadelphia is cruel. I would think they would care more about their jibs than the well being of a person. I would also assume that Septa should be held accountable for their actions. Their were a 40minute time period in which the man may have been able to live. I would feel bad that the city of Philadelphia does not care about their citizens.

When will or consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it

This quote was said by Eleanor Roosevelt. It impacted the statement because Eleanor Roosevelt made quotes in which they were in. It just asks a question that many needed to know.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world"

I believe that this quote mans that if you want to change something you need to do something about it. Instead of sitting around and waiting for something to happen get up and do something about it. The world is not going to change by itself. Without change the world the world never change.

bullying

The interview portrayed was about bullying. Many people came forward either the bully themselves or the victim. A young 13 year boy committed suicide allegedly because he was being bullied. It seems to me that the parents let the situation get to out of hand. The parents often know that their children are being bullied why let it get to the point where the child's life is in danger. They should remove their children or take more dramatic precautions the insure the safety of the children.

Article response

My response to this article is that I believe it is a good idea. It enables people to keep their children on their policy to the age of 26. This will help a great deal because many young adults are struggling to find and keep jobs. This recession has took a tole on many young adults. In my opinion because of the decrease of jobs it causes the huge of amount of illegal acts to occur.

Langston Hughes

Who is Langston Hughes writing for?
I believe Langston Hughes in writing this poem in order to express himself to the people.

Why was "America never America " to the poet?
America was never America to the poet because it was never freedom during his time. Things were extremely unfair and was not equal.

How did his personal experience contribute to his experience ?
His experience contributed alot because the poem was written in his own perspective. Things that he went through and his family was expressed in the poem to show his true feelings.

How has America changed since Langston Hughes wrote the poem ?
America has changed a lot since Langston Hughes for example there is no longer segregation overt. Also African Americans have a fair chance in this world. This is so because we now have an African American president. During Langston Hughes time period he would dbelieve that having a black president would be possible.

What are three aspects of America that Hughes would be ashamed of ?
One aspect would be that a lot of school students are not living up to their full potential. There grade point averages could be a lot. Another would be their is still some people that are narrow minded and they still treat each other unfairly. Lastly that people are not appreciating were they come from.

What are three aspects that Hughes would be proud of ?
Like I stated before we have an African America president. Also he would proud of all the accomplishments that people in general have made. Lastly he would be proud of how far we have come as a people.

How does this poem make you feel about America ?
It makes me feel that we a s a people have come extremely far. I don't believe that we are finished we still have a ways to go, but we can get that far if we just have faith.

Succeses and difficulties from the first semester. During the first semester I received a b in math which is extremely hard for me. Math is always my hardship. I always struggle in math, so to receive a B was a wonderful accomplishment. During the first semester I didn't really have any difficulties. The first semester is always the easiest in my oppinion.

What you hope to accomplish this semester. During this semester I want to maintain my good grades. I would like 2 get all A's and B's so I can keep my GPA at a good level.

What do you like and dislike about computers , technology in general. I particuraly like computers. It is a faster way to get your point across. I like the fact that I am able to email my work from the computer to my teachers. I don't like the fact that computers can get viruses and other things that slow the computer down. It eventually gets annoying when you are trying to do something and your computer shuts down.
