Young killer terrorest

In the article "How teens become terrorists: column" by Russell Razzaque tells how the lack of a relationship and environment teens grow up can damage a teens life and have them become a terrorist. Teens think there the victim and try to get everyone to see their point of view. Not having a good relationship with your same sex parent makes them feel like they are the reason for it. Also having a social life with like a peer can be a condition too, that’s where the victim comes in. Mohammed Atta, the terrorist of the bombers was 18 years; terrorist trait came from him being on lock down so much. His dad used to time him from school and home and any minute or second late, he will get beat. His whole life was depended on work and progress. As kids grow up, the environment with the terrorists seems like the okay for them. They have to choose between evil and good. Sycologically, if you see the world as a threat to you, then you going to threaten them back in reality. Like I said earlier, they want you to make you see things in their eyes. In conclusion, terrorist don’t just come about when you wake up the next morning, it grows with you, inside and out. Things don’t to you in the past can ruin your future

North vs South


In the article Korean War Part 2?” tells how in Korean 60 years ago there was a big civil war after World War II against the North and South Korean which lead to the South Korean being a democracy , protected by the U.S and the North was ruled by one family. The South and the north signed a peace treaty but the North Korean is a very poor, starving and have a tight controlled population. One the other hand, the South Korean is very wealthy like with technology, the 12th riches country. A new family has come into North Korean to rule and now trying to threaten the Southern part of Korean with nuclear weapons. “South Korean says the North’s threats are intended to strengthen Kim’s leadership at home and put pressure on the U.S and South Korean to return to negotiation over North Korean nuclear program.” Kim Jong Um is trying to wipe out the South to prove to his people how powerful he is. President Park Geun-hye of the South Korean try’s says if the South is attack , she will retaliate back but she try’s to build a since of trust with the North Koreans. In conclusion, I think the South should help the North because there both apart of Korean but on the other hand there asking for help in the right way. If someone was threating me I wouldn’t help them, but I sure wouldn’t want to keep going at war with them.

minimum wage life


In the article "Time for a raise" by Patricia Smith tells how some people are for the raise of income from $7.25 to $9 because of the inflation increase due to President Obama but others disagree with the for there own reasons. "Would raising the minimum wage make it too expensive to hire workers?" People agree with President Obama to raise the cost of income because the income haven't been raised since 2009, they feel that its about that time. Raising the wage can help people especially low-income workers. People are still working as hard but is still getting poor because of how inflation is going up and people pay checks should too. The raise can make a difference between “ grocery or the food bank, rent or eviction, scraping by or finally getting ahead”. Back in the 1938, the lowest income was 25 cent. On the other  hand, people think that raising the low income is bad suggestion. The raise can stop people from getting hired. If a business isn’t doing to well, that could hurt peoples hours and pay checks. It can also hurt the young starters out in there careers. In conclusion, raising the income of low wage to  me is a good idea, if you put more money in peoples pockets , the more they will spend. Its kinda like recycling you money. Helping people is something that Obama wants to do, and raising the income can do that. 


                       Witnessed
I Witnessed no food,
I Witnessed dead bodies being throw out,
I Witnessed life of snow,
I Witnessed dozens of men fought over crumbs,
I Witnessed violent men kill for crust of bread,
I Witnessed trampling men at battle, struggling, crying, nobody cared.

I Witnessed dead bodies,
I Witnessed moaning,
I Witnessed death of freeze,
I Witnessed two hands on my throat , strangle me,
I witnessed the dead of both my parents,
I Witnessed weak, lose faith, a journey, the end

i chose this book to do the poem because it actually had a lot of description and feeling to the words well meaning of the book. The poems tells the things a boy had to see during his journey to death. 
It was kinda fun and easy because all you doing taking words and putting them together to make a feeling  or meaning. I think it was worth it cause most people words are strong and you would like to use them yourself but in a different meaning.

Woman's War

In the article " Sisters in Arms " by James Dao tells how over the years , people have been lowering the rights that a woman can be a combat in the army wars such as Afghanistan and Iraq. More woman should be allowed the equal rights of a man to serve  there country as a leader. Just like as a man. “If the best shot in the platoon is a woman, I an make her a sniper” this quote tells how woman have the same ability as a man , we just have different genders. If they was to” let the woman into Navy Seals there will be an open fro more the 200,000 jobs for women”. This article reminds me of the time I went to work with my dad and my brother and he payed me less because i was a girl but i did the same work as he did.

Calling for help

In the article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels tells how the people are killing elephants because of the more demands and price that go up for there Ivory ( Tusks) that are used as accessories and sculptures in stores.The author compares the elephant and its child to like us mother and child to show how a mothers will protect her child. People are killing elephants to make money, but they really are doing is hurting the environment. "62 percent vanished from Central America between 2002 and 2011" they have wild life guards in the forest to help protect the elephants but there's just not enough. Elephants are good to our nature, they eat fruit and there leaving leave help for the soil to grown plants that suck up the carbine oxide to help the air we breathe. Not only that , it helps other animals with the trail of fruits to eat. In conclusion , i think us people should get more guards out in the forest to help the elephants because they're a help to our environment and plus its a comparison to how a mother protects her child.

Harlem Shake Down


In the article “Surprise hit was a shock for artists heard on it” by James C. McKinley Jr tells about how the new upcoming artist Harry Bauer Rodrigues is being sewed by Hector Delgado and Jayson Musson for using their voice in his new song/dance “Harlem Shake.” Which had became a hit song which sold 816,000 digital downloads. “Both Musson and Mr. Delgado are seeking compensation from Mad Decent Records.”  For Jayson Musson ,a formal rapper from Philadelphia who voice was used to call out the key phrase “ Do the Harlem shake “ and  he wasn’t alone in this, Mr. Delgado voice is “clearly heard on “ Harlem Shake” too. Courts are saying even a little sample of a person music, the artist is in titled to royalties of any amount the request. “Mr. Delgado has yet to take legal action against the Philadelphia producers, whose remix was not a hit. Mr Gomez said” In conclusion , i think that Hector Delgado should have used there voice without permission but everyone is blowing outta proportion , he can just split his budget that he get on his record, and forget all about it , he's a new artist, give him his props.,
