FIRST AMMENDMENT

The first ammendment means a lot to me. The reason why it means so much to me is because, this is what makes America a free country. Countries like China and Vietnam, don't allow people to say what they want to say and do what they want to do. The first ammendment also allows us to believe in what ever religion we want, protest if we want, and allows us of freedom of press. Being in a journalism class, we have to seek the truth and tell people about it. If we didn't have freedom press and freedom of speech, we would'nt be able to write what we want to and publish it. Besides just being in a journalism class, saying what I want on a regular basis means a lot to me. I talk a lot with my friends and family and if I don't have the right to say what I want to say, i'll probably die. I'm a type of person that says what on my mind and I won't really care who hears it. Speaking out is what makes the whole world works. If we didn't speak out about our president, we would probably have another bad president like McCain. If we don't speak out, we'll probably let people like Bush run the country again. Speaking out is what makes this country what it is. Overall, the first ammendment means a lot to me.

OBSERVATIONS

`When I’m in the cafeteria with my friends, all I see is wild beast running around. Sometimes, I even see people throwing carrots and food at each other. One time, someone threw a carrot and it hit my friend and I was panicking because I don’t like stuff being thrown at me. I only go into the café because my friends all hang out there and we always get food from the beanery. If I had a choice, I’d rather not go, but because I don’t see some of my friends during the day, that’s the only time I get to catch up with them. Sometimes I wish there were tighter security in the cafeteria so people won’t get hurt and food wouldn’t be thrown around like it was nothing. Overall, the cafeteria reminds me of a wild zoo, where all the animals are going crazy because they see food. WHOEVER IS READING THIS, DON’T GET OFFENDED, I’TS JUST A OBSERVATION I SEE, AND IM NOT TRYING TO CALL YOU ANIMALS, ITS JUST A COMPARISON.. AS LONG AS YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT A ANIMAL, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

I DONT LIKE HURRICANES

i would like to write about the hurricane that happened in new orleans. I feel like its a tragedy and people need to know what's going on with the hurricane and the people that live over there. I was reading a article about them online and i even posted a comment. Basically, there was a hurricane named gustav that hit new orleans. the people there were more prepared then when katrina hit. people evacuated and now, the govenor said it was safe to go back. its really tragedy that the people of new orleans have to go through the same thing like they did a while ago. they were just recovering from it and now, they have to experience another one. people's houses have been torn down and almost all of new orleans is destroyed. so people need to know whats going on. and this is what i'd like someone to talk about when we start our paper.
