JFK FIELD TRIP

So unlike some people I really enjoyed the field trip. I mean not everything was amazing but actually walking through and reading everything was so eye opening. I didn't realize how much he changed our country; we talked about it in class but it didn't really hit me until that day. I really enjoy watching things on JFK whether its things on the history channel or sitting around the dinner table talking about him. I walked away from the event with a better look upon his life and what he's done. I think he might be a top 10 president, maybe even top 5. I have a lot of respect for him and Johnson for attempting to make the world a better place.

Dr.Suess Book

I think the book ends simply. I think the general waits for the armys new invention, and as his weapon comes, so does the enemies. I think they both will drop a bomb, and it'll take down the wall. Behind the wall it will reveal that the yuks and zuks look exactly the same, and the arms race/hate will be over.

Some article thing

Okay, so reading this got me so mad randomly. I think out of this entire thing I agree with one point, "There will be some cities like Detriot that in a real depression could just become ghost towns." But other than that, it made me mad. I think we should be looking at the history of the 1920's which lead up to the 1930s because we could be getting hints of a depression and not even know it. We need to open our eyes and look around and see what could happen in the future. Alot of families are already just getting by, and some people are at the lowest point. And in the article it says about how we have government help, which is true but it doesn't last. I know from personal experiance that they can't help you forever and when the help ends, it ends. I don't like this article at allll!

I think that American's should have the right to decide whether or not they want to go to war. I don't think it's fair for some people to give up their freedom in time of need. Unless people aren't signing up, that's when a draft should be put in place, but it should have a strict criteria. People shouldn't have to give up their life in time of America's needs, unless they are willing too.

Cuba Sinks U.S.S Maine Over 400 Killed
Last night, the U.S.S Maine was attacked by the Spanish in Cuba. Over 400 people were blown up with the battleship. As the ship floated in Cuba's Harbor, the Spanish planned a sneak attack to get back at the Americans for getting involved with Cuba's battle for independence. All the ship was doing was protecting our investments, and that made us the bad guy! The United States' government is holding a meeting to declare war on Spain. We're going to take as many lives as they did to us. You sank my battleship, now it's time we sank yours.
