Haiti

This article made me think of what really happened in Haiti. These people didn’t have a lot but yet they lost everything. There houses were destroyed and they were left with nothing. 250,000 houses were shattered and 30,000 buildings were demolished by the 7.0 earthquake. About 230,000 people had been identified as dead and 300,000 injured. The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time on the 12th of January. The earthquake caused major damage to Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince. People were left without homes. I was very depressed, sad, and miserable when I heard about the earthquake, my instincts immediately told me do what you can to help those poor souls in Haiti. I had a sudden urge to scream “help” to inform everyone about the tragedy, so that they can also help. I was shocked that within 24 hours, the Red Cross announced it had exhausted its medical supplies in Haiti, this shows how many people were injured, hurt and were in desperate need of help immediately. Three million traumatized people were left without a home, no clean water, and no food. I think that countries should definitely try and send aid. They should donate money, food, water, clothes, and medical supplies and anything else that Haiti can use. All of the countries in the world should assist in helping the people in need in Haiti. Cyprus should try to donate different types of goods to Haiti, such as food, water, and, clothes. I also think that our school A.I.S.C can help with this problem. We can raise money by setting up bake sales, fund raisers, informal dress days, concerts, fun school events, and even host sports tournaments. We can also donate leftover clothes from the lost and found that we gather every year from students that leave our school. Young people all around the world should try and help Haiti. They should donate all there old clothes that they have grown out of, and give food and supplies if they can. I personally think that my family can help the needy in Haiti. We can send money, food, clothes, and water and maybe even medicine to help the needy people in Haiti. Have a heart help people in need!

Match Counts HW‏

1) Politics and political problems are a subject for adults to deal with.

I agree because children cant deal with political problems. They are not mature enough to deal with them. Adults on the other hand are mature and capable of dealing with political problems.

2) All scenarios can have a happy ending if those involved work towards it.

I disagree, I think that people want to believe that all scenarios can have a happy ending if those involved work towards it. I think that's not true. This prompt is party true though. There wont be a happy ending in all scenarios but there can be in some. For example if your family was brutally murdered no matter how hard you work towards a happy ending there wont be one.

3) Literacy (being able to read and write) is a form of freedom.

I agree, being able to read and write is a form of freedom. Because you are able to read and write whatever you want. Now one is going to tell you what to read and write. Also the freedom of speech allows you to write whatever you want.

4)Civilization without a written language cannot effectively document history.

I agree because writing is an easy way to express yourself with other people understanding you but it would be extremely hard to document history effectively without a written language.

5)Love at first site is not possible. Like all endeavors, love takes time and perseverance.

I agree with this. You cannot fall in love with someone at first site. You might really like them but it wont be love. Love does take time and perseverance. To fall in love with someone you need to get to now them.

Character analysis

Grease or Soc?

What would you rather be, a spoiled rich kid or a cool greaser like us? I’ll give you five reasons on why you should be a greaser. Greasers stick up for each other. Socs are followers and we are individuals and leaders. Also Socs are a bunch of spoiled rich kids riding around in their daddy’s cars. We can have long hair and do what we want, and Socs, their two faced mamas boys that are not who you really think they are.
We greasers will always stick up for each other no matter what. We are all just a big family. If any of the greasers are having a hard time at home they come and sleep at our house. That’s why we leave our door unlocked. We never know who we might find sleeping on our couch in the morning.
Socs are followers, we are individuals and leaders, Socs are followers of the law. They just have money. We greasers don’t follow anyone; we are leaders of our own lives. We don’t care what others say about us.
You would never want to be a Soc. They are just a bunch of spoiled rich kids that think there cool because they drive their pretty little cars. They rely on their parents to get themselves out of trouble. They think they are cool because their parents spoil them with money. We have more freedom then them. They might have money but we greasers know the true meaning of friendship.
We have more freedom from the Socs. We can do what we want. We can dress the way we want to and be who we want to be. We are not afraid of having long greasy hair. That’s just the way we are.Socs are also two faced, they are not who you think they are. They act like innocent kids but are really white trash with pretty clothes and pretty cars. They always find a way to get away with it and blame it on the greasers. You belong with us greasers.
