Why Sand Hook Elementary?
In the article Why Sandy Hook Elementary it tells the guy reasoning for shooting those innocent teachers and children.It tells about his feelings and how he felt and how he thought this was going to help him relieve his pain. He took his angry out on innocent people.
In the passage it stated" He stayed in his room for hours playing video games, teaching the same training they'll teach a police officer. Reload your gun before entering another room , or aiming at your next target, What type of guns to use" It also stated that he was a sick kid, he felt neglected by his mom he said like on the game he wanted to be remembered like in the game when he get the highest score for killing the most people, he wanted it to be real so he made it happen."
I think that its really said that people think of the worst ways to be remembered, why couldn't he do something positive rather then killing. I say that is not a good reason to kill those innocent people who were killed. I think its very sad.
There was a time my mom was telling me this story about her girlfriend who had 3 kids. She was married with her husband they were living a normal life he help raise the kids, but she had a secret to tell him she was afraid because she knew how attach she was to them. He had an Idea of what she had to tell the last two children which was twins didn't look much like him..she finally told him the twins wasn't his, he went insane he killed her the two twins, only 4 years old and shot himself in the head.He left a note explaining everything.
This article was an eye opener no matter how much you go through, harming yourself and someone else isn't going to help at all.It showed me how sick a person cane be, you cant trust everyone.
What you think about the situation?, Do you think that was a good reasoning for killing those people?. Do you think that solved anything?, Do you think he could have done something differently?

Historically Incorrect Canoodling
In the article " Historically Incorrect Canoodling" written by Stephanie Coontz talks about how valentines day has came to be and how it was created. It tells how after a few years later how it has change and doesn't have the same feeling and meaning as it did way back in the day. It was mad a holiday by a man named "Valentine". It tells how valentines day is the day to ask your loved one to be yours forever, and to be romantic.
In the article it says " For thousands of years, love, passion, and marriage were considered a rare and usually undesirable combination. Valentine's Day was originally created by the Roman Catholic Church as a limit on sexual passion."It also says Valentine's Day is a reminder of just how romantic we are, Restaurants are reserved months in advance for romantic dinner for two.
I think that Valentine's Day is such a great holiday to celebrate with your partner. I think its the best time to spend with the one you love dearly. I agree that it does brings out the romantic sides of people. That's when love is in the air.I find it to be something fun too. I like seeing all the hearts and seeing how happy a human being can make one another.
Well, this was recently this year when Valentines Day came along my friend and I went out for dinner, went to the movies, and spent our day with memories we cherish most. We gave one another a promise ring saying we were to be honest at all times. I love the feeling of being loved.
This article did help me think of it more. I used to think Valentines Day was all about the female. I thought your partner was suppose to do for only you, but its not its for both genders to celebrate something they tried so hard to build. So I guess Valentines Day is the day to celebrate all your hard work and dedication to your partner.
What do you think about Valentines Day?, Do You think its for both partners or females only?, Do you think Valentines Day is romantic?, Did you have a partner to spend it with?, Do you think its a good Holiday? Let me know what you think..

Trying Times
By:Patricia Smith
In the article " Trying times " By: Patricia Smith is mostly about how high unemployment and increasing college debt is making it harder for young people to start their careers. Its talks about the loans, and how its a big deal for those just entering the work force.
The article includes the percentage of students who couldn't find any work forces In the passage it stated "Almost 12 percent of Americans under 25 are unemployment. That's substantially higher than the overall unemployment rate of 7.8 percent, and it amounts to nearly 6.5 million young people who are neither in the workforce nor in school." They think that no matter what your gender or race with out a college degree, young people just not getting no job opportunities.
In my honest opinion, I think that being as though all the money spent going to college they should at least make sure every have a good shot at getting job opportunities or workforce that's available to them. I find this very important because I plan on attending college, and I want it to be worth it.
My brother was class of " 2011" after he graduated he started college right away. He got accepted to Scranton, he moved there on campus. Everything was going well for the mean while until the money problems started. He had borrowed loans and had to get money from other people. He eventually dropped out because it was becoming a big problem and had no other option he plan on going back.
This article gave me a better view of what to expect when I submit , and attend college. It helped me see that it won't be a piece of cake that its going to come with some struggles. It also let me know now that i should start saving up ALL the money that's possible.
Do you think it's going to be easy?, Do you think you got what it takes?, Do you think it should be more jobs offered?, Do you think the percentage of jobs or workforce not offered is okay?, Do you think college is worth it? Let me know what you think.

16 year old shot and killed New Year Night
"16 years old boy shot and killed on New Years Eves Night" By: NBC News
"16 years old boy shot and killed on New Years Eves Night" By: NBC News
Bringing in the new years wrong, 16 year old boy shot and killed feuding over an iPhone when the 16 was leaving the party he was shot several times. It was devastating welcoming the New Years in with such sadness.
"America today is becoming such an shame place to even say its a positive place to raise children, they need to put the guns down and stick together as one. "This is a crazy ass generation we living". I feel like we can be better as one we just to keep pushing others to change their ways in life and really do what they think is right,I believe we can do it so lets do it together.
I think that it was the most horrible way to welcome in your New Year. I clearly don't understand why Black brothers cant stick together and come as one. Philadelphia is becoming a wreck. Its so much going on alot of teens are dying young. It can be prevented before it even happens. Half of the killings are over non sense.
I knew this boy and they were arguing over a female. The two boys were friends at one point they let this young lady bring their friend ship to an end.So they started going back and fourth over nothing. It has gotten real wild and out of control at this point. One boy so happens to show up at the other boy house, see him chilling with the female and BANG! BANG! two shots went off shooting his best friend in the head.
This article helped me realized that phones, friends, fighting, arguing, and Etc. is not worth your life. You determine your every move and make your own choices. But it also shows you that life is short.
What would you do if that was you?, How would you feel if you was in his mother shoes? Do you think it was dumb?,

Philadelphia superintendent identifies schools he intends to close..
In the article " Philadelphia superintendent identifies schools he intend to close" By: Kristen A. Graham is about how the Philadelphia superintendent plans on closing downs a great amount of school to save money.
In this article it talks about how the Philadelphia superintendent is closing down alot of schools to save money. they want to close school to save money so we wouldn't be debt.In the article it says " 17,000 students and 2,000 staffers would be affected by the moves. Thirty-seven buildings would close for a savings of about $28 million. money the nearly broke district says it needs to survive."
I think shutting down the schools was a good idea. You have to think about what would happen in a long run if the school district goes broke. Any how half these school in the district of Philadelphia are not worth the money, most schools does not have enough children, some are just poor and does not teach well or just not organized well enough. I think its a good idea to save money and better the other schools that worth it.
Well I been through something similar. For instance like my cell phone I had 3 app I really liked the most but I didn't have anymore space in my phone to download a app that I really needed. So it cam down to decision time. I had to make a choice I really didn't want to delete anything but therefore I had to.I made the choice to delete the right thing. I was upset but it was for the best
This article helped me out. It actually tell something from my point of view. You have to think about what is more important and not what others think whether the support it or not.
Do you think he made the right choices?, What would you do if that was you?, Would you make the right choices?, Would you do it based on what people thinks?

The New Faces of America..
In this article "The New Faces of America" By:
Veronica Majerol is about how America is changing. Its talks about how more minorities
are being born in the U.S. than whites. They think this may be messing up the
nation’s identity.
In the article it talks about how there are more minorities are
coming to America and being born here. They there are more minorities then
whites. Back in the days in 1950’s there was 89% of whites and 11% others. In
the article it says “Not everyone, however, has embraced Americas changing
demographics. From 2010 to 2011, more than 150 anti-immigrants laws were passed
by the state legislatures, according to Mother Jones magazine.” In 2011 there were
63% whites (non-Hispanic), 17% Hispanic/Latino, 13% Black, 5% Asian, and 4%
other. This here shows the changes that occurred in America.
I think that there is nothing wrong with different races
coming to America because this is how some people expand their knowledge. They
bring different types of foods and things other than what we only know. I like
the fact that they come and open up stores and restaurants showing us what they
can bring here to America.
This kind of reminds me of a book I read. I forget the name
of the book but, the book is about a girl name Zori and she moves who moves to America
with her parents and siblings. She thought coming to America she was going to
only see black or whites but she realized it was people there that came from
the same place as she has. She liked all the new experiences she was opened up
to.
This article helped me understand how America is changing
and how the identity of America is not the same as it used to be. I never
noticed the change in America until I seen the percentages of races that is
here today.
Do you think America is still the same? Do you think America
identity can be saved?, Do you think having a lot of minorities is good? Tell
me what you think.

The Article " Civil War in Syria Raises Question about when to Intervene " By:PBS News Hour is about how the war that's going on in Syria and how its making it dangerous for other to live there and build a community together.
In the article it says that it's not only affecting how they live but, it also have a affect those who live in Turkey. It stated "The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that over 200,000 people have fled their homes for calmer parts pg Syria or neighboring countries such as turkey,Jordan and Lebanon."Its questioning how are they going to build a community or come together as one when they in war destroying everything they've worked for.
I think that the war should stop. It's affecting a lot such as Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. I feel as though that shouldn't have to go through that it's not they fault. Its hard for them to find shelter, food, comfort, and medicines. Its crazy how 2.5 million people have been affected by the crisis, they all need food, shelter, and medicine as i stated before. They need to cut it out and get it together. They will need a lot of money to recover the damage that took place there in Syria.
When gangs goes to war they do almost similar to how Syria war took place. There was these two young man that lived down the street from one another. One guy looked at the other guy the wrong way. The war started there they had words with each other it was nonsense and needed to be stop. No one dear to say anything every time they seen each pother they would shoot. Making it dangerous for anyone to enjoy life and they actually took people lives over nonsense.
This article helped me look at things differently it can really affect others and then at the end they realize it wasn't worth it at all. Its shows me how they puts everyone life in danger. It also shows how much damage can be done and that's money going to waste.
What would you do?, Do you think the war is causing to many affects?, do you think some things can be prevented? Do you think you can live like that?
