Would you stay or would you go?

I would not go i would be just fine where i am now. Just because of the technology that we have today such as car's and phones. if i where to go back and live in that time i wouldn' know what to do, and it would be a completly different life stlye. I would be so use to the music that i lisn to, and using computers daily, and being able to stay in touch with my friends with my cell phone.

Incidents in the life of a slave girl (Harriet Jacobs)

I learned that it was very different from today than when there was slavery and that people bought people to work. it's just crazy how some one can work for a whole year and only get like 200 dollars. And that people worked that hard and not getting paid that low of a income. Now that i have read what i have read i feel bad that people where treated so badly and paid so little.

purposes of the government

My 5 reason's why the government is important is because they secure our nation. What do i mean by secure our nation is i mean that they protect us daily from threat's and terrorest and potential war's. Also the government enforces our laws, if we didn't have laws we would have murderers running around we would have major drug problem's and it would just cause a big mess. The government also gives you a chance to better your self , gives you job's so that you can make money so the government actually does alot for us.The gorvernment also enforces that we american's should be educated and have school for us to learn. Health Care is also apart of the government in case you are in a accident or you get hurt you will be able to take care of yourself. And finally the most important thing to me is the goverment gives you a chance to be proud of your county and protect your freedom such as joining the us army, navy or marines, so i would say the government does alot for us.

Assignment 2

I would move to a place for freedom, because freedom is so important for what you can do for yourself. If you are told what to do or what to think there is nothing to you can do for yourself. So if i would move to a place, i would make sure that i would have my freedom. That is why i love the united states, mainly because we have the right to do what we want. there are laws but the laws are resonable, and they keep us safe.That is why our freedom is important.

Assignment 1

What i think about imigrant coming to the united states is that they can gain alot, but at the same time they can also loose alot. I should know this myself i am and was born in Hatch, Germany. My brotber passed away when i was 13 and i started smoking ciggerets because my sister did it, and I thought it was okay. Then we moved to the united states, and i lost the right to buy ciggerets and that i had to be 18 to purchase them. So you can loose some rights and you can gain alot. But as i see it the laws are watching after use for a reason. I havent smoked since i mooved here almost 3 years ago. I encourage imigrants to come to the United States because you can start a new life and hafe more opportunaties than before.

first impressions of blogger

i think blogger will be real fun a little bit different from a normal class. It should be exciting to learn new things a new way at the same time having fun doing it. I am looking forward to this school year and think this class will be fun. The blogger site is a good way to have fun. I am still learning how to use blogger, but over time it should be easier and funner to use.
