may 14 mainecare cuts

no i dont think so because people need it if they cant afford to take their kid to the doctor or dentist or anything and they might really need to go but they cant if they dont have the money. so they need the insurance. but somehow they should find out who actually really needs it, and who doesn't need it as bad

may 8 essay introduction

Sometimes, complete opposites can be the best of friends. In the book Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie are best friends, they go everywhere and do everything together. They are never not without each other. But they are completely different in almost every way. George always tells Lennie how easy and better his life would be without him, because he always screws everything up and gets in trouble. Lennie always says he can go out and find a cave to live in and if George wanted to leave he could. But they always stuck together. They stay together because they need each other.

april 30 of mice and men

april 26

i think the education is worth the debt because if you become successful then you will eventually pay it off, and to get a job where you can be successful you need a college education. or at least more education past high school

april 24 vacation

hung out with friends. sure i enjoyed it. no im not glad to be back.

april 10 maine switch

i kind of think its a good idea because this means people cant graduate if they don't actually know the skills they might have to know, like basic things like math, science, english, or history.

april 6

Curleys wife because she is the only female character in the book ;)

april 4th

i agree because without cell phones and laptops/computers teens don't really have a way of communication. like if you want to make plans with someone you text/call them or message them on facebook or something.

april 2. dust bowl

the dust bowl was basically like a sand storm. it was caused by a drought, it didnt that much for 7 years so it was really dry.

march 27

i think it should be legal if they want it. like if they would rather be dead, than not being able to do anything or anything then they should be allowed to just die if they want to. they're going to die anyways

march 23

i would not tell anyone anything they told me and id be a good friend and i wouldnt talk about them behind their backs and stuff

3/21

someone who you can be yourself around and doesnt judge you or if they do its because they're doing it as a joking way and you can tell them anything and they wont tell anyone and they're always there for you AND YEAHHH

3/19

yeah because people might need it

3/15 pink slimy stuff

yeah because its gross

3/13

i agree because everyone has the freedom of speech, and if people didn;t want to hear what he has to say then they just shouldn't listen to it

3/8 nfl bounties

i dont think they should because they shouldnt pay someone for getting hurt.. they could hurt themselves on purpose to get money

2/9 advertisements

i think it is half time for america because it can get better and it hopefully will

3/6 sex abuse

yeah because its pretty important

3/2 teachers

i dont think they should be taken too seriously because teachers joke around a lot with students here too, but no one really takes it to personally because we know they're not serious. and i think everyones being too sensitive

2/28 anti bullying

i think schools can do the best they can, because theres really not much they can do. people are gonna do what the want and no one can really stop it. but they could maybe disciplin harder. its kind of both, like, theres a lot of fights on facebook and stuff but no one actually does stuff in person

2/17 lepage krjnsflkdsnx

he wants to make the students take a test to see if their grades improved and if they do it means the teacher is a good teacher, and i dont like it cause the students could fail on purpose just because they dont like the teacher or something. which would be mean. also there could be stuff going on in their life that is stressing them out and they cant concentrate

2/15 the door in the wall

lionel wallace told him a story of a door in a wall, and he didnt want to believe him, but he said he had to. one day he woke up in a different atmosphere. lionel told him he was haunted by something that takes the light out of things and fills him with longings. also a girl said that the interest was taken out of him and he would forget about you, but the interest was not always out. they went to college together and lionel always beat him at everything. to him, the door in the wall was a real door that lead to immortal realities. this came to him when he was about 5 or 6 years old. he said he learned to talk at a very early age that was usually not normal. he was "old fashioned". his mother died when he was 2 years old, and his dad didnt give him much attention. he was really bright but he found life grey and dull. one day he wandered and he couldnt remember what made him leave or anything, but the white wall and green door stood out to him. when he saw the door he had a desire to open it and walk in. the door wasnt locked so he could have went in if he wanted. he thought his father would have been angry if he went through. at first he just walked past the door then he just made a run for it. sorry i dont have time to finish this mr hoy 

2/13 odyssey essay

it has a lot of the characteristics of a man today. so i kinda think its still relevant except we dont have gods and everything here to help us when we cant do something

2/7 tell tale heart

theres an old man that had an eye that bothers him, he kills him so the eye doesnt bother him anymore. every night the man would sneak into the old mans house and watch him. one night the man heard him and woke up. the mans heart beat gets louder and he flipped the bed on top of the man and killed him after, he cut the body into pieces. The next night 3 officers came to his house and asked if he knew anything about a reported scream the following night. they questioned him and he felt worry free. As the police were there he started hearing the mans heart beat again, getting louder and louder. He admitted to the crime.

2/3 Riots

i think its an example of sports fans gone wrong because they get too pissed off about their teams losing, and they start arguing with the other teams fans. and then they start fighting and everyone eventually gets into it and starts fighting

2/1 hero

In my opinion, a hero is someone who is nice to everyone, and help out a lot. Or isn't selfish and does everything for everyone. i dont really have a hero though, ive never really thought about it

11/24 job hopping

1) employers want to see your progress in a job so if they see you only worked there for only like a month then they probably wouldnt want to hire you because you might quit after only one month

2) they also want to see a well rounded adult

i agree because jumping from job to job can be pretty stupid and hurt you

11/30 violette will keep his pension

i dont think he should be getting the money because hes pleading guilty for theft and he doesnt even really need it...

11/26 school lunches

I think they kind of do, because they can at least try. Instead of them not serving anything healthy at all. Because you cant force kids to eat anything, but if it's there they might eat it. But it doesn't mean that kids wont bring home lunches with unhealthy stuff

1/20 censored internet

i don't think they should censor the internet because i think its dumb. and if they censore it then they're going to take down some of the most used websites and i dont think it's fair.

1/13 mystical creature

Narcissus means sleep in latin, and the flower Narcissus "sleeps" most of the time. Meaning its all closed up and then it opens 

1/11 Lamb to the Slaugther

Lamb to the Slaughter is about a married couple. The husband wanted to get a divorce but the wife didn't want to. The husband said he was divorcing her and she was in denial. She went to the kitchen and she was going to make him dinner. She grabbed a lamb leg and hit him in the head with it and he died. Then she went to the kitchen and cooked the lamb leg. Then she went to the grocery store and got vegetables. Then she went home as if nothing had happened and when she walked in the door she saw her husband laying on the floor so she screamed and called the police. The police came and she told them that she went to the grocery store and when she came home he was dead. The police searched her house and couldn't find the weapon. Then she made the cops eat the lamb leg so they would never find out it was her because they ate the evidence.

12/21 mythology

Mythology is the study of myths. It's important because it tells a lot of storys, and like explains a lot of stuff. Like, how certain thing are and why they're like that, and the name of things, etc. it serves a role in todays society because we learn it in school, like in English, Latin and history.

12/15 an occurrence at owl creek

It said that the rope was tied around the mans neck, with his hands behind his head, hinting that he was going to hang himself. It said his executioners, meaning that people are trying to kill him. They're given to you as an insite because it's what the whole story's about. 

12/9 floating turbines

I think they should be installed because they can give off a lot of energy. And it is equivalent to the power needs of 18,000 homes. Or they could at least try it for a little while and if it makes things worse they could uninstall them.

12/5 occupy maine

I think it is an eyesore because a lot of people are causing issues in Lincoln Park and it gives Portland an even worse reputation. People just camping out and just staying in the park makes Portland makes it look even more ghetto than everyone seems to think. They say they're protesting but like they said in the article, sitting around all day with a few signs is not protesting.

-One of the people in the mob plan to assassinate him
