Grapes of Wrath: Chapter 4 Quiz

To be perfectly honest I didn't read past the the second page of the chapter. So from what I read this book was still boring to me. But the turtle peeing on Joad was really funny.

New book: The Grapes of Wrath

My Inspiration?

My inspiration comes to me in many ways,as a person with a creative edge I can find art in anything. When I design clothes I can find inspiration in a sunset or the way someones hair flows.

However, I find most of my inspiration by learning the history of our world, the pain, the struggle, the love, the war, and all of the happiness.  

Ground Zero Mosque and Islamic Center: Where I Stand?

Personally, I don't really care about this as of yet because at this moment it doesn' really effect me, maybe because I didn't loose anyone in 9/11, but it was close.

Yes, they have the right to build anywhere, but "Religious freedom does not mean being insensitive. . . or an idiot."(-Rabbi Meyer May). The building that they are planning on using was hit by burning dubree from 9/11, so that very building could be just as important to some people as ground zero. Race shouldn't be an issue because not all Muslim's are the same.
