practice paragraph week 10

Doctors should be able to help critically ill patients end their lives for many reasons. Doctors are only doing euthanasia if the patient is going to die anyways and meets a certain CRITERIA of illness, so it isn't like their killing them for no reason. Euthanasia is a personal choice and you have to have CONSENT. They aren't going to do it on the patient if they don't want it so it isn't affecting personal religion or stopping them from living a longer life. People put a lot of EMPHASIS on the economy so paying for hospital bills can be a hassel. Getting euthanasia is cheaper than paying for a hospital bed when the patient is going to die either way. This drug puts people out of their misery and is only used in certain circumstances so that is why doctors should be able to do it.

Dia De Los Muertos- pick a person

I plan to construct a Dia de los Muertos altar about Marilyn Monroe. Still to this day she is considered to be the ideal women. This person is known for being beautiful inside and out and making everyone want her. This person’s appearance proves everyones theory of her being the perfect women and makes people percieve her as a sex symbol. Others think this person is perfect when she lived and even now that she is dead. This person is known for saying "diamonds are a girls bestfriend." A few items that I may include in my altar to represent this person are diamonds, alot of pink, white dress, blonde hair and more. I selected this person because I could make the altar look really vinatage and nice and because her story strikes me.

Academic vocabulary week 9

Junk food should not be banned from school vending machines. Many kids should come up with a strategy to maintain a healthy diet. In previous years, kids have complained about the healthy food in vending machines so if they like the food they will buy it and the school will make a better profit. If they dont get junk food at school, where people are sure they aren't putting harmful things in their bodies, they will just find an alternative way to buy it. There are kids that are hypogycemic, or low on blood sugar, and need the sugar every once in a while so a candy bar from a vending machine would be nice every once in a while. As you can see, the junk food in vending machines should remain for many good reasons.

Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile

Teenagers should set their social networking profiles to private for many safety reasons. Many old men and women go online and make fake sites pretending to be a teenager and talk to teens. It is dangerous to have people view your sites especially if they have your personal information such as phone numbers and addresses. Kids can get very hurt and bad things can happen if they dont have their profiles set to private so that is why they should.

“Two Kinds” Character Analysis Paragraph

In the story “Two Kinds” Jing-mei is a typical ignorant little girl. Her mother thinks of her as unappreciative, due to lack of interest in her culture. Jin-mei acted just the way she was supposed to, I mean if you don’t want to something then you shouldn’t have to be forced to. Jing Mei’s “Peter pan hair cut” was something that made her stand out from all the other Chinese girls. Also, she thought she could get away with playing the piano, because her teacher was blind and that made her sneaky in way. She always felt that her mother was trying to force ethnicity on her as well. So, Jing-mei is like classic person she’s stubborn, and shows no gratitude and that’s ordinary.
