North Korea War Part 2

This article is mostly about how North Korea keep on making threats to the USA to "scare" us or they just all about talk nobody think there really going to do anything their only trying to do big and better things because they have a new leader and they want people to think he is the best.

This article Time for a Raise is about how president Obama wants to raise the prices up on people that work for businesses. The prices will go from $7.25 to $9. Some people has an problem with it some people wants that to happen. Some people think if he raise the prices less people will get hired more people would get fired because its to much money to give out.Some positions will get an raise and the other positions on the job would be like how come we didn't get one. Some people are with that idea because it will help low-income families pay more bills put food in the house and more money makes more spending.

The article Slaughter of the African Elephants is about how in different country's ivory is the new thing out and its very expensive. People that really don't have money if they see an elephant they will chop there head off just to get there ivory. Some people want to do things to stop the killing of this animal some things they could do is crack down on poaching, follow the money trail, and people should stop buying ivory. A reason they shouldn't kill elephants for they ivory because they babies would die slow of hunger because they need there mother milk.

In this article Sister In Arms is about how females could not be in the army because people did not think they had what it takes to be strong like men to carry heavy book bags walking a couple miles. People did not think women have mentality. They also thought women would die and they would have lost public support anymore. I think that was not fair to women because they should be able to fight for the world as men do. Women has the equality to fight like men do so I'm not against because there are women out there that are stronger then men and that can do more then some men can do. I think it's fair that they started to let women be in the army.

Jonesing For Braces is about how a lot of people need braces because the things that is in there food and drinks. People are saying that braces is a new trend around young people. Some people really want braces so they try to make fake ones. I don't know why it's the new thing out. People that don't even need them want's them. Braces is a new trend thats out. a long time ago people use to say braces were for geeks now every body are trying to have them. I don't think theres nothing wrong with braces but its just funny how a while ago people were talking bad about them now everybody wants them.

This article is about how other countrys have the power to hack into are information and do things to it taht we wouldnt want them to do. They could get into septa make trains crash into eachother and make an huge fire that will kill a lot of people. They could put virus into are computers to scare many people. In the article it says "President Obmama decided to accelerate computer attacks on Iran's main nuclear." also get into are bank and take people money. Once they hacked into everyone computer and had a picture of the american flag burning. The they was hit with was called "Flame". In the article it also say "You dont have to be sophisticated to do a lot of damage." I think that we should do something to them before they come back and do something crazy to us. I alos think that we should never get on there bad side so they wont have to do nothing crazy to us and why also do they have so much of are information.

This article is about how every year people been seperated by marrige, love and sex. Every year nobody really has an couple because people relationships does not last. Now a days people do not stay togethere because they get married at young ages and dont no better. Back in the day they cold keep marrige because they was more muture. I think people should wait till they are really ready for marriage to get married so until then they marriage would be better and last long.

This article is about how parents leave they're kids with you and they have a cold. The student is mad that the mother of this child did not warn her about the health her child was in. The student father told her she shouldve left. The student says her dad is not right because you shouldn't leave this mother in lurch even though she didn't warn the student. I feel that even if she didn't warn her she still is nice enough to watch the mother child. I wouldn't of watched the child if i wasn't getting paid because every time i watch my little cousins or nephews they mother pays me. I wouldn't just up and leave the child if she/he was ill i would just tell they parent i could not watch her or his child because i do not want to get sick.

In the article Give Lance another chance is about a bike rider cheating by taking steroids. They say he just had testicular cancer. I think he did it because he don't want to fill like a loser. I think it was a bad thing because lying will never get you any where. Then i think its a good idea because he does not want to be called a loser. I don't like to be called an loser i like to be in the front for every thing. I wouldn't even cheat because i don't lie. I think they should forgive him because at least he came out and told the truth in stead of keeping it in side. Then i think they shouldn't forgive him because that was not fair to others that could have beat.

In this article its about how schools are getting closed and are combing together to save more money for the school district. 17,000 student and 2,000 staffs and students would be affected by the moves. thirty seven schools are getting closed. I think its a bad idea because more kids that dont get alone has to see each other everyday and there will be more fights and a lot of stuff going on. i kind of think its a good idea so they could save money and schools would be able to have more activities and be able to do more stuff.

In this article its about how they want to try to make marijuana leagle. In the article it says how more "each year hundreds of people in new york are stopped and questioned. Police stops and approaches young people. I think they if they make it leagle the world is gonna be worst because people would get high off of it and start acting dumb and do dumb things there would be more fights , gun fights and all. Marijuana is only leagle in different parts of the world i think that should stop because  some people would start to think its not fair and try to protest and try to make it leagle.

                                                          Should 16 year olds drive

                        In the article should 16 year olds drive is about how 16 year olds should not be driving only because highway safety and insurance institute.I think teens should be able to drive at 16 because there old enough to take their selfs places and but then again there not they mite try to take advanted and break the rules by trying to stay out pass curfew leave the house when they fill like they parents are getting on there nerves. And if you are mad one day they mite take it out on the car and go driving to fast and get in a car accident. Cops probally woulod try to take advanted of them and try to pull them over alot becuase they know that there very young.
                                                  
                                            

                                                       Google wants to read your mind

In the article google wants to read your mind is about how if you are logged into google it can read what you are thinking even before you type it in to get your answer. If you were in the market it can tell you how many people are in front of you in line. I think its a good idea because you dont have to take your time typing up something it just pop up on your screen. Then i think it is not a good idea because it knows every thing your thinking. If somebody is next to you and they are looking in your phone and your thinking bad about them they can see it. Thats what i think about google wants to read your mind.

 

 

                                              Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary
                                                                    By Peter Mucha

 

 

In the store Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary is about how some people think Obama should have won or Mitt Romney should have won the election . Some people think if Mitt Romney had one the economy would be much better. Some people think obama ran a better campaign . I think Obama should have been elected not because im African American but because im against how Mitt Romney was trying to to cut off food stamps and give people "jobs" "but alo't of people have "jobs" and still need food stamps" to help them aply food in there houses . And i didnt like the fact hoe Mitt Romney Tryed to stop abortions and people need abortions just in cast if they got rapped or if it was an accident .

                                       .     Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now
                                       Nicholas D. Kristof , Columnist , The New York Times



The passage "will climate change get some respect now" is mostly about how the presidents do not talk about the climate . Year after year the weather is getting worst cording to the computers , The presdents should be warning the community more about huarricanes , tarnados . It seemed to be that the presidents was only talking about sandy . There are not really anything you can do because its nature . As a comminty we could help with cleaner energy . We could curb on greenhouses gases or cabon tax . If we had a stronger FEMA it could probaly help better with the climate .

In the article the national study finds a "medicine" for kids that do not know how to funksion in school/class
right . The medicine is to be able to help the kids calm down in class if they are to hyper active and that private schools can easily get rid of the late kids . I think the topic is basickly about helping kids do better in school . But i think it is kind if an bad idea giving kids oills to funksion the kids shouldnt have to be drug to listen . I think its gonna make ore damage into the child's head .I once had a bad headache and i thought it was gonna help me , but it turned out to make me get a bigger headache .The article made me think that people dont really care they just want us to be good at all times . The article made me think do they wanna give me a pill because i cant sit steal in class .

Texting may be taking a toll

                                                       Texting May Be Taking A Toll
                                                              By:KATIE HAFNER

Texting can be a problem with teens now a days because kids are losing sleep more and more , Kids also start to give you cramps in ya thumbs for texting to much . In the article texting may be taking a toll , The main idea of this is texting can destract kids from getting work done and how it has increased and brung students grades down . Kids are not independ . I think the topic is a good one because kids grades are dropping because of there phones and the "Texting" I think theres nothing wrong with kids getting there phones token from there parents becuase soon as there phones get toke there grades go up so i think thats an great idea but i wouold not want that to happen to me thoe . Before i read the article i thought it was gonna be about how its just bad for kids to text . Foreal foreal it was great as i read it . The article end up being better than what i thought it was gonna be . I think the topic was important because it shouldve taught kids an leson about texting alot and after a certain time of the night . I realy think that parents should put a limit on the phone with out the child knowing so at night when the child trys to text or call somebody they cant receive it .
