Children’s Moral Education
When you are a child you are very influential. Your parents are the biggest cause of this. This is a good thing but also if not used correctly it can be foul. Parents teach their children morals, even if they don’t know it. They still get the morals from the way their parents live. Children absorb the acts that you do and repeat them. Parents need to be role models for their children. The only person parents can blame for their child acting out is themselves.
Teaching your child morals and respect is a large part of raising a child. If you don’t teach your child these things they will learn the wrong ones from other people. In these days almost no one teaches their children about morals. Even if they do teach their children it is hard for them to keep the lessons because of other people. The best thing you can do is have respect and morals yourself and that eventually it rubs off on your children. Teach them everything you can about it and they will grow up with them. No one else can raise your child correct except for you. Make them grow up respectful and full of morals so that don’t end up a criminal.

The story of an hour Questions
“The Story of an Hour” by Kate ChopinStudy Questions
1. The story says Mrs. Mallard “had loved him [her husband]–sometimes. Often she did not.” If she was “often” not in love with him, why did she marry him?
A:She wasnt very happy in her relationship and the married had a lot of problems.
2. What was life like for Mrs. Mallard in the home of Brently Mallard?
A:She was most likely always in an argument and never loving to her husband. If she is never happy how can she be loving.
3. In the report of the train accident, Brently Mallard's name was at the top of the list of fatalities (Paragraph 2). Does this information mean that Mallard was an important citizen in his community? Does it also suggest that perhaps Louise married him, in part, because of his standing in the community?
A:I think the fact his name was first on the list was just a coincidence
4. Do you believe Brently Mallard mistreated his wife? In answering this question, keep in mind the following: (1) In Paragraph 13, Louise Mallard recalls that Brently was kind and that "he had never looked save with love upon her." (2) However, Paragraph 8 had previously informed the reader that Mrs. Mallard's face "bespoke repression," and Paragraph 14 says Brently had a "powerful will bending her."
A: I dont think that he mistreated his wife i think that he just dindnt give her enouhg attention to make her happy
5. How much of Mrs. Mallard's apparent unhappiness in her marriage was her own fault?
It was atleast half her fault because she is the one that choise to marry him with out thinking about it clearly
6. After Mrs. Mallard receives news that her husband died in a train accident, she goes to “her room.” Do these two words mean that she slept separately from her husband? Does the fact that no children are named in the story indeed indicate that she and her husband slept apart?
A: No it doesnt mean that they slept in differnt rooms. Most people call their and their spouses room "There room."
7. Research the life of Kate Chopin (1851-1904). Then decide whether the death of her husband in 1882 influenced her when she wrote “The Story of an Hour,” published in 1894 in Vogue magazine.
I think it did because you right better about thing that you experience in your life.
8. Did author Chopin herself face problems similar to those of Mrs. Mallard?
I'm sure she did because that most likely why she wrote this article. It probably remined her about her experience.

“The story of an hour”
After the death of Mr. Millard informing Mrs. Mallard of the death of her husband was a big problem. She had a bad heart condition that could cause a heart attack if she has too much excitement or stress. They were able to tell her without any problems. Mrs. Mallard didn’t show sadness when she found out this news but she felt a little happy. She felt free from her husband and free in her life. Her family member thought she was in her room trying to kill herself, but she was really holding back her excitement for being free. In those times divorce was frowned upon and could ruin a reputation. She did grieve for her husband and knew she would again after seeing the body but she thought about all the time she would have to herself. It made her happy thinking that she didn’t have him holding her back. Finally she opened the door for her sister who had been pleading for her to do so. Her sister thought she was trying to kill herself, but she was doing far from that. She was beginning to live again. Her and sister walk down the stairs and when they reached the bottom, the front door was opening and Brently Mallard, her husband, opened the door. Brently was far away from the accident and didn’t even hear about it. Mrs. Mallard collapsed and died from her heart disease because so many emotions were going through her as she saw her husband.

Texting article
After reading the article I will no change my texting habbits. I use common sense while walking and texting, I look several feet in front of me to make sure nothing is there before i look down to text. I woul NEVER cross the street wile look down at my phone I think the text can wait ten seconds before crossing the road. I don't text while driving but somtimes I pull over or if i know the stop light is going to be long i will read or write somthing real quick but I have stopped texting while driving last year. I don't think its the texting that is the problem i think it is the people lacking the common sense that are the problem, not only with texting but they ruin a lot of things for us.

The election is a very popular event therefore i know a lot of information about it. Basically I know all about the candidates and what they stand for. There isn't much else I would like to know about this topic, I pretty much know all I want to know.
In my reading I leanred about the nation debt. The national dept is over ten trillion dollars. I am not a very political person especially if I don't agree with either candidates. So there isn't much i need to know about the election.

Thanksgiving
The smell of the crescents in the oven being warmed makes the feel of thanksgiving. The way the table was set so all the food was in reach so we could feel our plates fast. I never cared much for turkey, it was always draw and I wasn’t a big gravy person, but we would always have ham to supplement it. Never really cared much for the time chatting with family but the food was always great, a nice spread of so many different food and smells made the all day of waiting worth it.
So many different platters were set on the table; deviled eggs, crescents, ham, potatoes, and so much more. I usually take all the favorites so I don’t miss out on them. Then I take the things that my aunt supplied a lot of. I make sure I get all the good food first. So many things to eat but up you always need to save room, because desert is the best part.
Cheesecake was always my favorite and the favorite of most of the family. We also always have a supply of brownies, cookies, and cakes. I always grab some milk and a plate full of cookies with a slice of the delicious cheesecake. After my stomach gets bloated and I can’t eat anymore we say our goodbyes and we go home where we watch TV and go to bed. For most people thanksgiving is about the family, but for me it’s about the food.

Colin Powel
1) They visited top hill Jamaica because that’s where Colin Powel is from and where most of his family lives now
2) They got into the jeep and drove until the road became too narrow then got out and walked to the camp where he saw his family. He instantly knew that it was his family without being told.
3) It seemed quite a while because he had to take a jeep for a while then walk for fifteen minutes even after getting out of the jeep.
4) There were several groups, some wore old battered cloths and others wore nice colorful cloths. There were old young and middle aged people that came out to greet him, and he treated them all with respect.
5) He just had that feeling he has the intuition and see it in their faces.
6) He reacted this way because he hadn’t seen his family ever; it was a great feeling and event to finally see all of his family after all these years. I would probably react the same way, I would be really excited and glad to see everyone
7) No all of my extended family lives close by me or close by my dad so I always see them whenever I visit.
8) I can’t think of a time where I have ever met someone important but I hope one day to, because it is an exciting feeling to meet someone you can brag about meeting or say the name and everyone knows it.
9) “we arrived at top hill, the land of my fathers birth” is the topic sentence for the second paragraph and the first paragraph doesn’t really have a clear topic sentence.

Hurricane Ike
1) I used reading strategies that i learned such as picking out the important information and taking not of them. I made sure there were no distractions to take me out of focus wile reading.
2) The details of the sotry were basically just the facts about the hurricane and how dangerous it was. It told people that they will be killed if they stayed, they didnt sugar coat anything they wanted to make sure people were going to evacuate ASAP because the danger of the storm.
3) Topic Sentence "Residents living in single-family homes in some parts of coastal Texas face 'certain death' if they do not heed orders to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Ike's arrival, the National Weather Service said Thursday night."

My learning Style Continued
If the book has a movie it would probably help to watch the movie first, because I am a visual learner. Then I have a main idea for when im reading and my mind can spark when I come to parts that are similar and it will keep me interested. Turn of my cellphone and tell everyone that I am reading and can't deal with any distractions. Take the phone and put it in a room that I am not in so I can't check it. Taking the time to make a time chart for each section so I have a reasonable limit to get to a certain section. All these Learning Styles will definentally help me pay attention while im reading.
My Learning Style
When im reading i get distracted easily. My mind wonders when I loose interest in the topic. Somtimes when im reading i get texts and it makes me think of other things. When I'm reading i need to be thinking about the book and nothing else. Most of the time I need to read in a quite place, but if I am reading in a loud place i will need music. The music I can get used to and ignore but the conversations I can't. The times of day I like to read are mostly before i go to sleep, but i can only do that if I'm not to tired. In the early afternoon when im fully awake and have nothing to think about is the best time for me to read, I'm not tired and I have no distractions to make my mind wonder. These are the problems I have when im reading and I hope to find more ways to keep my mind on the reading material and less on other things.
