Language Week 29 - School Conferences

One thing is for sure, parents should not have to serve jail time for missing their child's school conference. This should not happen because there is no written law about having to attend your child's school conferencem. It would be rediculous to to try to force that upon the cititzens now. Also it would be completely unfair because there are other crimes that are being commited and those people that are committing those crimes are not goin to jail. Another reason is because there is this white man named, George Zimmermann, who shot and killed a young African American and he did not go to jail or anything. So seeking out a parent and putting them in jail for not attending their child's school conference is stupid and a complete waste of money. It would be unreasonible resource to use by using the jail cell to make someone never miss their child's school conference, so it would be stupid to put them in jail. Also lets say that there are parents that transfer from job to job and they do not have the time to make it to their child's school conference, they should not have to go to jail for that, with no arguement. So in conclusion, parents that miss their child's school conference should not have face jail time at all.

Trayvon Martin Paragraph

George Zimmerman should be charged with murder for shooting Trayvon Martin because if it were any other person, they would be charged with murder. Also because Trayvon was completely innocent and should be brought justice towards. Another is because if it were any other person that committed that murder then they would be charged with murder with no hesitation. George Zimmerman should be charged with murder because it is the honest thing to do, bring Trayvon justice by punishing the guy who ended his life, it is un-patriot like to just let this slide by because like President Obama said, "If my son was walking with a hood, would you shoot him to and get away from it jut because you say it's out of self-defense?" So in conclusion I believe that George Zimmerman should be charged with murder for shooting Trayvon Martin.

Academic Language Week 2 - Cars

I would not want a car that drives itself because for one, I want to be in control of the vehicle that I am in. I want to be the one controlling every turn that is made and the amount of pressure that is on the gas pedal because i do not want to die. Another reason why I do not want a vehicle that drives itself is because it is not a great method to get from one destination to another if the car is controlling itself because you might have a better route to take rather then the car. Also because accidents occur often and if I want to be able to avoid them it would be best if I control the vehicle that I am in. One more reason why I would not want a car that drives itself because if i get attached to my car as if it were a human and lets say the car gets totaled, I would have to proceed to the next car and that most likely would emotionally tear me apart, just saying. So in conclusion, I would not want a car that drives itself.

Homonym Practice Paragraph

I grabbed the ball and ran down court as fast as I could, hoping that THEIR team couldn't stop me. "Over THERE behind you!" My teammates yell towards me at THEY'RE transitioning from defense to offense. I shot the ball up with the quickness as I pulled back from a dribble and stared at the moving ball in the air as if my coach just told me, "Son YOU'RE getting a scholarship from UCLA for basketball." It felt like hours waiting for the ball to go in the net until I heard a swish from the corner of my ear. It was the last shot of the fourth quarter and I hit it. All my teammates come to me chanting,"You did it!" Five minutes later after all the compliments I hear the voice on the mic say, "The player of the game is Joseph Cruz; YOUR team captain."

Should adults have the right to carry a concealed handgun?

Adults should not have the right to carry a concealed handgun. To establish a law or a constitution on being able to bear arms was a well developed idea but it may need work. One reason is it is too easy for a person to get a gun and hiding it is no problem. With that said, crime rates will shoot sky high. Another reason is small kids can find the gun and accidentally shoot someone for not knowing better. Additionally, there are better ways to protect ourselves. One more indication to adults having concealed arms is a problem are the recent school shootings. In conclusion, to justify no more guns, our future generations should be able to be free of the chains of violence.
