Thank You MaM

I Believe parents should are responsible for the moral education of the child for a number of reasons. One reason primarily is that parents are the root of the child’s education and it begins in the early years of the child’s life. So therefore if parents impose a strict and orderly way of raising their children then when they get older then they won’t be out in the streets like Roger. No one is responsible for anyone’s actions but depending on the way that the child was brought up can determine and change a lot about the child’s behavior growing up. As for Roger I don’t believe his family was so involved into his life as they should have or could have been. If they were then he would not be out snatching ladies purses and be looking the way he did.

1.“The Story of an Hour” by Kate ChopinStudy Questions1. The story says Mrs. Mallard “had loved him [her husband]–sometimes. Often she did not.” If she was “often” not in love with him, why did she marry him?
-I believe that she married him because she loved her husband when they were married at first. The “often” love thing I believe is something that came from struggles that they endures during the years that they were married.

2. What was life like for Mrs. Mallard in the home of Brently Mallard?
-Although it is not really stated in the story I believe that she was housebound had very little freedom and she lived the lives of the average wife during that time. And I believe her purpose was just to stay home cook clean and wait for her husband to come home from work.

3. In the report of the train accident, Brently Mallard's name was at the top of the list of fatalities (Paragraph 2). Does this information mean that Mallard was an important citizen in his community? Does it also suggest that perhaps Louise married him, in part, because of his standing in the community?
-There is no exact information that Mallard was an important citizen of the community but with his name being in the headlines im assuming that he was a member of the community whom many know. And yes I believe this could be the reason that suggest why Louise married him.

4. Do you believe Brently Mallard mistreated his wife? In answering this question, keep in mind the following: (1) In Paragraph 13, Louise Mallard recalls that Brently was kind and that "he had never looked save with love upon her." (2) However, Paragraph 8 had previously informed the reader that Mrs. Mallard's face "bespoke repression," and Paragraph 14 says Brently had a "powerful will bending her."
-Yes I believe that Brently did in fact mistreat his wife and those examples given are the exact same reasons on why she loved him sometimes and sometimes she did not love her husband.5. How much of Mrs. Mallard's apparent unhappiness in her marriage was her own fault?
-I don’t believe the unhappiness was her fault because this story takes place many years ago which was when women had little to no rights when married to a man and she was under her husbands authority

6. After Mrs. Mallard receives news that her husband died in a train accident, she goes to “her room.” Do these two words mean that she slept separately from her husband? Does the fact that no children are named in the story indeed indicate that she and her husband slept apart?
-I think that she did in fact sleep in a separate room from her husband and I think the fact of her room symbolizes the fact that her and her husband were no together, but not apart either.

7. Research the life of Kate Chopin (1851-1904). Then decide whether the death of her husband in 1882 influenced her when she wrote “The Story of an Hour,” published in 1894 in Vogue magazine.
-I don’t believe the death of her husband in 1882 influenced her to write “the Story of an Hour” because the story of her life and the story of Louise are very different in fact almost total opposites.

8. Did author Chopin herself face problems similar to those of Mrs. Mallard?
-No in fact she had freedom and a very loving and understanding husband.

The Domino Effect

The domino effect is affecting the economy by casuing it to severly worsen and cause great problems for people and businesses.



2. What caused the U.S. housing crisis?
The cause of the U.S. housing effect was due to lenders giving high risk loansto people with low incomes. The obvious result would be that people would not be able to pay back these loans so the prices of homes fell.

This is a serious problem becuase it has caused a drop in sales tax revenue.

4. How is less spending affecting local and state government?
Less spending is affecting local and states governments becuase it causes less spending, raised taxes, or ised emergency funds to balance the budgets.

5.What trend does expert Brian Sack predict for the economy?
Brian Sack predicts a more than likely recession on the way.

6.What have the world's key central banks done to stop the crash.

Texting

Before:

Prior to reading this article to I never second guessed to write or respond to a text message espcially when I should be concentrariong on somthing else. Especially when I am walkin with my head down anticipating on what that person is going to write back to me.

After:

After reading this article changed my mind about texting and now i think twice before picking up my fone to answer or create a text message. First I check my surroundings to make sure there is no potential danger. Also while im "texting" I look up like every other second just to make sure because you never know life comes at you fast!! And i never knew that people were gettin hurt or even killed while they were texting.

Despite the warnings im not goin to stop texting because thats my thing thats just what I do with my phone. texting gives me the advantage of allowing me to get what i need to get out espcialy when im not able to speak on the Phone. Often times i know and feel that i can express my self alot better in a text message instead of saying it on the phone. also i love the fact that if i have a girlfriend i dont have to stay on the phone all the time becuase she would probably be holiding me up from doing what im was doin whehter it was hanging out with friends or cleaning my room.. I DONT WANNA BE ON THE PHONE AND DOIN THAT!!!lol... thats y i have me bestfriend which is texting ;).. :) .. As long as im speaking to her or u thats all that matters right?????

Narration

Last summer i can reacall my trip down to North Carolina.......


With the time now 3:00 am my family and bring pur bags to the cars pack up and get on the long road to our destination. every year I look forward to going for a number of reasons. One Primarily is becuase i get to see my grandmother. Being that our destination is North Carolina we leave at 3:00 am is so that we can beat the rush hour traffic in New York and New Jersey. (We have learned from prior trips)


Without the worries of traffic and the annoying morning grumpy drivers we now have a comfortable drive down. The trip takes anywhere from 8-12 hours, but I enjoy everybit of it. As I constanly look around and observe my surroundings i check to see how much they have changed since my last trip. Such as new Bulidings.. Offices..landscapes...malls.. etc.. I dont think i will ever get bored of this trip because this is only the beginning becuase the fun really starts when i meet up and see all of my distant relatives.
