technology in schools

technology in school is very helpful in school. For example I get to do research. I get to look up and see what my grade is. It is also a great way to communicate. More and more schools are starting to change from using too much paper to using less. I am afraid that our society will depend on technology far too much.  from first to fourth grade i had to do reading tests on the computer. It was very easy to pay attention but hard to want to do the test.

are online classes a great way to be educated?

         In my opinion it is hard to say whether or not online classes are a good way to be educate. I think it would be nice to wake up late in the afternoon and go to school but then again, i think about how our American society grows lazier everyday. I think being able to earn also has to do with the AREA that the person is in. I also think that it takes a lot for a person to DIFFERENTIATE what they are learning. Learning also needs a teacher who can be of help when a student needs CLARIFICATION.

should dog fights be illegal?

     In my opinion I feel that dog fights are not a great source of entertainment. There isn't really much potential in this kind of work. I hated it when I saw dogs fighting. There's a distinct difference between just for play and animal abuse and dog fights go under abuse. This abuse is used as a formula to get money. They don't care what the animals feel, just if they get their moneys worth.

lost view

i remember the way you held me in your arms,
the way you kissed me goodnight,
a father,
you caught me in your web of charms,
i thought you were always right,
a daughter,
but then i saw who you are,
the pain i felt wrapped around me like a belt,
like a crazy net i just couldn't forget,
you were always there and i was in fear
things between us got worse,
you got mad and i got hurt,
a love hate relationship,
everything said a script,
i wished to talk, to see, to understand,
but i was like a stranger to a new land,
you let me go, no fight or word,

felons and voting

      I don't really know much about politics but I do have an opinion on whether felons should vote. The source of our government are the people and so everybody should give their thoughts. the complexity of the whole system hurts my head. sorry, i don't think that's really relevant but i hope its okay to put my thoughts down. as long as they help pick someone who will run our country well then i don't care if they vote, but they can't vote for someone who is willing to let these felons go.

my favorite poet

Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet. I like her because she tried her hardest to get her life to be comfortable. She hadn't really needed to put her work out for people to see, she just had to show her neighbor. her poems had meaning to me and i like how she married someone who loved her work and before she died she made a poem for everyone who comes to North America. The people in New York put her poem on a metal plate and put it in front of the Statue of Liberty. i had to do a report on a poet i liked and at the time i didn't have on but i did research on this woman named Emily. My teacher recommended her to me because i would spout things about how our government should be like it use to be instead of what it is today. he always laughed at me a lot for it.

Academic Language Week 21 - Steroids

I think that steroids should not be allowed in sports. One reason that I think this is because it ruins your hormones or changes them if you use them for a long period of time.. Secondly I believe that it is a form of cheating and athletes' are primarily chosen by their own strength not by something that enhances that strength. The last reason is that traditionally it was only used to make it easier to win competitions but now athletes' are over using them just to look good.
