Home in danger

If my home was in danger the first thing I would save would definitely be my dog. She would definitely be worth going through some fire. My phone would be second but I would probably already have that on me. Dixie would make herself impossible to be saved because she hates being carried and she would try to squirm away. She would definitely be the first thing to cross my mind if there was a fire in my house and we needed to get out.

It would be so sad if Dixie didn't make it out and I couldn't let that happen. She is so much fun and such a happy dog and she lightens up the mood of the house a lot of the time. She is a very smart dog but she would not be smart enough to escape something like a fire and that is why she would need to be saved. Dixie is a great dog that is definitely worth saving.

  1. It's good that you would think of others in an emergency instead of just yourself. I would agree that lives are way more important to save than objects, and it should always be your first priority.

  2. I agree that saving your dog is pretty important in a the case of a fire. I would probably save both my nieces since they are pretty young and would not be able to figure out how to escape a fire.

Semester reflection

       This semester I have learned multiple things. The first of those is that you have to get a lot of sleep every night. You feel so much better in the morning so you can get to school on time. It also helps you to pay attention in class more and remember assignments which leads to better grades.        The second thing that I learned is that you have to check the calendar every night even when you are 99% sure that there is nothing you don't know about assignments. That brought my grade down a ton especially in Spanish. I lost many points in classes and that will not be happening during the second semester.      The most important thing that I have learned in the first semester is that time management is very important. Teachers in high school do not need to monitor everything you do to make sure you are on task. If you do not manage your time in class then you have more homework and you have no one to blame but yourself. ...

Research update

       My research topic for this project is the impact of Christopher Columbus. At first it was very hard to find the kind of information I was looking for but then I continued to find better articles that were more useful to my cause.  Ever since then everything has been going pretty smoothly. The annotated bibliography was very easy to do and it helped me analyze how I am going to answer my research question and what articles I am going to use to back up my answer.        I am still sort of nervous about the notecards but as I start to do them it will get easier. But having  just done three it is pretty easy to do considering the fact that I found some sources for information that I need. The research went well and the organization is still a bit stressful yet it is very easy.

Gun control

I am responding to a Newsday article written by Justin Haskins responding to the Las Vegas shooting and on the issue of gun control. Haskins makes the claim that strict gun laws will not work in this country as they already do not work. He also wants to explain why this will not work    " the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that supports enhancing gun-control laws, gave in its recent gun-control report card “F” grades (for having lax gun laws) to five of the six states that have the lowest homicide rates"(Haskins). Haskins points out here that there is correlation between having gun laws that aren't strict and having low homicide rates. He also points out that the six states of Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and West Virginia are the only states that have 50% of households that own firearms. He points out that  these states are among the top ranked for having the lowest homicide rates. He discusses how the statistics from cities that have ver...
