Immigration

colinb — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:24:23 +0000

If i was in charge some rules i would put in place about people being able to come into America are, you have to be able to speak English clearly, i would not let anyone come in from countries that we are at war with or have been at war with in the past, lastly the U.S government would have to look at all the files for the countries that the people trying to get in our country used to live.

Do i think that people who come to America should know how to speak English before they are aloud in?

Yes i believe that people should have to know how to speak english because we are wasteing money on kids who dont know how to speak english in school. Also it would just be easier if everyone in the U.S spoke the same language.

help with future relationships

I think experiences in a relationships help you with the future because you might be able to tell when you can trust someone or not. It might make you a stronger person to like put up with people you might not want to be with. Also with past experiences you might be able to choose the right people to be in a relationship with. For example if you were in a relationship with someone that you dont want to be in a relationship with anymore and you dont want to tell them but if you do then this will help you in the future.

Actions or Intentions?

Mr. Bogush asked us a question in class, He asked us if we should define someone by there actions or their intentions? I think we should define someone by their intentions because they ment something by what they did. Even if you dont like it, it may help you in the future. For example you have this teacher and when ever you actup just a little bit the teacher flips out and gives you a detention. But if you think about it if you have if you have a job and your boss doesnt like when you act up or anything he can get sick of u and fire you.

Star Spangled Banner

I think the words in the Star Spangled Banner is historically accurate. Hear is the real song by Francis Scott Key. -Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Hear is me rewording the star spangled banner for people to understand. Oh say can you see with the morning’s light. He were so proudly won the fight at midnight. Are stripped and stared flag was there thru the dangerous fight. The barriers we watched were slowly waving. The rockets and bombs lighting up in the sky from the British ships. With the lighting from the bombs lighting up the sky we could see are flag. Are flag was still waving after the fight. For the free and brave people that fought in the war.

The USS constitution

colinb — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:14:37 +0000

I am writing about the USS Constitution the ship was made by Joshua Humphrey. He designed the ship to be one of the capital ships. It was built in Boston from oak timber that’s how it got its name old iron sides. Because when the USS constitution fought the Guinevere from England the gun fire couldn’t break though the oak wood on the boat so the USS Constitution won the fight. They were able to fight because the president at the time James Madison and Congress gave ship owners permission the take whatever they would like off the British ship.http://www.marine http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ships/constitution/iron-hist.html buzz.com/marinebuzzuploads/USSConstitution_75CF/USS_Constitution_2.jpg

What I think about symbolizm

colinb — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:49:34 +0000

When do we create symbols? I think we create symbols when we want to represents something or bring people together. Symbols are important because a picture means a lot more then words. People need symbols because symbols mean something like a sports team logo it represents the team and the organization. I think the american flag is considered a symbol because it represents the president of are nation and the country we live in. http://people.eku.edu/pedersonn/mongoliaFire/american-flag.gif

hockey

colinb — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:17:28 +0000

One of my passions is playing hockey I have been playing hockey since I was 3. I love playing hockey and i give up a lot of my team to practice and play hockey. A couple reasons why I like hockey because its a rough contact sport, and i like a sport where contact is in it. My favorite NHL team is the Montreal Canadiens. My favorite player is Alexander Ovechkin-http://stutterstep.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/alexander-ovechkin.jpg
