Practice Paragraph Week 23

Dog fighting should be illegal. One DISTINCT reason is that that it is teaching children that attend them to be POTENTIALLY dangerous in their future. Also, the FORMULA trainers use to train their dogs in harmful and painful. No animal deserves to be treated that way, and it should not be legal to hurt animals. These are all valid reasons for dog fighting to be illegal.

Week 22 Practice Paragraph

Felons should be able to vote. Our constitution is pretty COMPLEX and there are many ways of getting around it but not letting felons vote is against "all men are created equal." What people have done in their past is IRRELEVANT to who they are now and they should not be judged on what has happened before. Being open to voting and having something to do with making a big decision is a good SOURCE of being socially accepted and could influence the decisions they make in the future. I believe felons are equal to everyone else and if they are out of jail/prison, they have obviously proven themselves and are eligable to vote.

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

When I was in elementary school, I would draw a lot of pictures with my poems and made stories out of them. When I was in middle school, I had the most fun with poetry. I learned different types of poetry like Haiku and Rhyming. I got more advanced with it, and because it was more advanced and I could understand it, it made it much more fun. Outside of school, I didn't do anything with poetry really except write in my journal when I was inspired. I am looking forward to writing more though!
