Foreclosure: What Was Left Behind

Foreclosure is a big issue that has grasped the attention of everyone in America. People being tragically forced out of there homes, families having to abandon their childhood home full of secret memories. 



 

 "Mommy, Daddy, I forgot Mr. Teddy. Can we go back to get him?" Choking back tears of rage and regret,"Sorry honey we can't go back." "But why?" say the little girl as she begins to cry. "Just forget the bear, we will get you a new one!" the mother says in a tone so harsh it's almost like she is blaming her child, as the dad stays in a shameful scilence. The car stays stunded into peace, the parents can't keep their tears back. They look at eachother and see in oneanothers eyes that everything is going to be just fine.

Tyler Clementi

Tyler Clementi was an average college student, until his roommate, Dharun Ravi, decided to put web cameras up in their room. Then he went to fellow freshman Molly Wei's room and started a live stream of Clementi kissing a guy. This video was spread across the entire Twitter site. Days after this incident Clementi took his own life by jumping off a bridge.This "prank" video destroyed someones life and because of a homophobic roommate.This is a story that should make people feel and desire to be better Internet citizens. People also, should have learned that if you are homophobic then just keep it to yourself because some one just might loose their life and next time the gay might survive.

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

I don't know how I feel about it, but usuallywhen teachers pick books for me they always say it is a great book, but I never like them. We'll see what happens. :)

iGoogle

So far iGoogle is amazing. There are so many things to do and you can personalize everything and access your blog or email from the same page. I love it.

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. When I take pictures or draw something I just need to be outside. 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. In my English class we are going to have a class debate on this subject, and my view has to be against it. So here is my argument, lets see if it is convincing.

Why build a peaceful place of worship and praise in an overly crowded, obnoxiously loud city? From my research no one supporting these buildings could answer this question. 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.
