CE #4.1

Short Answer Questions

  1. The kidnapped girls were found in La Veta, Colorado.
  2. I think the cartoon is showing the author's opinion on how the president believes he need to be the bigger, more powerful person than the North Korean president. The buttons could represent how much each president is talking, rather than taking action in a positive direction.
  3. Bobby Levinski, Ellen Troxclair, Rich DePalma, and Shane Sexton are the four candidates.
  4. Avery McKenzie, Sabrina Bianco, Caitlin Godwin, Keara McGraw, Kyndall Johnson, Kandace Blackburn, and Morgan Giles were the seven players placed on the All-District team.
  5. I'd like to own the Garmin Forerunner 235 because it would come in use when I go on runs or jogs. I like to know how much I have run in order to train for soccer, so the tracker would be nice to have.

Long Answer Questions 

  1. The book's title is "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House."
  2. Trump and his lawyer want the book halted because they are claiming it has false statements in it that do not have evidentiary support proving they are true. The release of the book could result in “substantial monetary damages and punitive damages.” Additionally, the book contains other derogatory comments and private information.
  3. I do not think the president should be able to halt a book's production and distribution. Author's have the right to write and publish whatever they desire, and freedom of speech and the media has supports this. Unless the book is based on completely false facts, the president should have no say in it's publication.
  4. Books are different from newspapers and magazines because they can provide a more in-depth look at a story and may not always be based off hard facts. Books can be about real or fictional events, stories, or personal accounts. Magazines and newspapers are based on real people or events in the world. Their purposes are very different.
  5. I think anyone writing a book about a real world person or situation should be required to follow the requirements of a newspaper reporter. This way it is easier to make sure all the information in the book is true because they all cite their sources and make sure what they put in their book is 100 percent accurate. 
  6. I would not be interested in this book because President Trump and the politics revolving around him do not interest me very much. I feel like the audience is directly for people older than me. I se so much news on Trump and his decisions, so I have no desire to dig even deeper in to what is going on at the White House.
  7. I could see my grandparents and some of my aunts or uncles reading this book  I know some of my family supports Trump and some of my family doesn't support him at all, so they may be interested in learning more about him to gain the perspective of other family members. My grandparents both love politics, so this is something that would definitely interest them.

The Dispatch Issue #5

News- The Lockdown The story is about the Akins lockdown that took place on February 22, which was the result of a former student boarding a bus heading towards the school with ammunition. Senior Bee Barto and teacher Sarah Simmons were interviewed to share theyr experiences. Sarah Simmons and Bee Barto were quoted. I thought the strongest quotes was, "But I wanted to make sure it was a drill and I did see a SWAT team in the hall. It was at that point that I knew it was not a drill." The lead sentence did make me want to keep reading because I had heard about the event and wanted to learn more. The conclusion was a quote. Commentary- Arming teachers is not the solution  The story is about Donald Trump's suggestion that teachers should be amed with guns in response to the recent shootings that have occurred. The author completely disagrees and believes it will only add to the issue by burdening teachers with too much responsibility, adding more dangerous aspe

Free Write - Embarrassment

Settled in after a long day, I finally got the chance to lay down and relax. I shut out the sound of the TV downstairs as my eyes began to slowly close, my exhaustion taking over. My mind takes me back to third grade. Mrs. Grance’s class was generally a good class, but there were definitely some bad days consisting of the kids not getting along or the teacher being way too intense for third graders to handle. In second grade, one of my closer friends was named Atticus, who now is a freshman at Bowie too. Being young, we were still very childish, so messing with each other was an every day occurrence. Sometimes we took our play a little too far, but I never minded, it was all fun and games. One day, we were completing an assignment that required teacher approval along the way, which meant that people were walking to and from their seats to our teacher a lot. For some reason, Atticus was laying down and working on the “class carpet” at the front of the room, so when I would go up to
