Rodrigo Thank you ma'am

Thank You Ma’am

If some body needs help, you should help them because that way people could help you. This young man has no body in his house and since he has no money he is stealing purses.

At the beginning a woman is walking around eleven o’clock then a boy ran up behind her & tries to snatch the woman’s purse. The boy falls down and the woman picks him up and shook him. He is scared and he wants the woman to turn him loose.

The face of the boy is dirty the woman takes the boy to her house and the boy washes his face. Then the woman asked him if there was a person on his house so the boy said “no”, so the woman fed him. Then the woman put the purse on the bed and went behind the screen she didn’t watched the boy. The boy didn’t take the purse. This shows that the boy already changed because the woman treated him like her sun and fed him.

The boy is sorry about what he did. Know that the boy has changed he is being nice and she told the woman if she needed somebody to go to the store. When the woman was about to close the door the boy said “Than you Ma’am. The boy never saw her again.

If somebody needs help, you should help them because that way people could help them.

The Fir Tree Essay - Jose

In the story fir tree the lesson or theme is to be careful on what you wish for. In the story the little fir tree wishes to be a big fir tree like the other pine trees. Later on in the story he gets his wish and becomes a Christmas tree. In the end he gets burned and discovers that his wish wasn't a good one.

In the beginning he wants to be a big pine tree and wants to be cut down and be a christmas tree. Seasons pass and he gets taller and watches one of his pine tree friends get cut down and ship.

Later he grows big enough to get cut down and ship to become a christmas tree. He thinks everyone will hang out with the christmas tree and love him. But that is not true because later he does become a christmas tree, but he gets burn in the end. He dies getting his wish and discovers his wish was not the right one.

My ideas about the story is that be careful on what you wish for because later on you can end up having your wish, but you die out of it. Wishing is good, but you need to think twice on what you wish for.

the fir tree gustavo

In the story The fir tree there is a tree that starts of little he wants to be every tree where he lived because. They are tall he was little i think the theme of the story is that is that be happy with what you have to be your self.The tree evenually has what he wants but still he wants to be like another person when.

selene's theme

the theme in the fir tree is about the up's and down's of this fir tree. For example when he was small and wanted to be big that was a down and when he was finally a desant size that was an up. when he wanted to go sailling the swallows told the tree that in the boat they carried tree's.These up's and down's from this fir tree is the message of the story. He onece had an up and a down at the same time it was when he got burned and shreded, he had a complished of being big, tall but he also got "killed".

The Treasure of Lemon Brown

The Treasure of Lemon Brown by Walter Dean Myers teaches us treasure does not always equal money.
Lemon’s treasure was his son’s treasure. It was found on Jesse’s body when he was killed in the war.
It was not at all valuable, t was newspaper clippings and a harmonica that belonged to Lemonn, who would die for it. He beat up some guys who were looking for it.
Treasure does not equal money is an important lesson.

Arturo -!

What im thankful for is money. The reason that is is beacause if i didnt have money then id be poor and id be on the street. If i were to end up on the street id be eating out of a trashcan. Maybe that wouldnt happen i have family so i dont think its possible for me. However, even if i wouldnt end up on the street it would still suck.

Imagine if you were a kid with not no money but not enough. You wouldnt always be eating and you would be made fun of at school.

The Fir tree Lesson - Jose

The fir tree was a hard story for me but once our teacher explain it to us I understand the story. The theme was never wish for something you want to be because later on you'll be hurt. In the story the fir tree wants to be big and cool like the other big pine trees. At the end he gets his wish but ends up getting cut up and burn and shredded. The story was really sad cause he wished a bad wish and end up being cut down.

Out in the woods stood a nice little Fir Tree. The place he had was a very good one: the sun shone on him: as to fresh air, there was enough of that, and round him grew many large-sized comrades, pines as well as firs. But the little Fir wanted so very much to be a grown-up tree.
He did not think of the warm sun and of the fresh air; he did not care for the little cottage children that ran about and prattled when they were in the woods looking for wild-strawberries. The children often came with a whole pitcher full of berries, or a long row of them threaded on a straw, and sat down near the young tree and said, "Oh, how pretty he is! What a nice little fir!" But this was what the Tree could not bear to hear.
At the end of a year he had shot up a good deal, and after another year he was another long bit taller; for with fir trees one can always tell by the shoots how many years old they are.
"Oh! Were I but such a high tree as the others are," sighed he. "Then I should be able to spread out my branches, and with the tops to look into the wide world! Then would the birds build nests among my branches: and when there was a breeze, I could bend with as much stateliness as the others!"
Neither the sunbeams, nor the birds, nor the red clouds which morning and evening sailed above him, gave the little Tree any pleasure.
In winter, when the snow lay glittering on the ground, a hare would often come leaping along, and jump right over the little Tree. Oh, that made him so angry! But two winters were past, and in the third the Tree was so large that the hare was obliged to go round it. "To grow and grow, to get older and be tall," thought the Tree --"that, after all, is the most delightful thing in the world!"
In autumn the wood-cutters always came and felled some of the largest trees. This happened every year; and the young Fir Tree, that had now grown to a very comely size, trembled at the sight; for the magnificent great trees fell to the earth with noise and cracking, the branches were lopped off, and the trees looked long and bare; they were hardly to be recognised; and then they were laid in carts, and the horses dragged them out of the wood.

<>

Where did they go to? What became of them?
In spring, when the swallows and the storks came, the Tree asked them, "Don't you know where they have been taken? Have you not met them anywhere?"
The swallows did not know anything about it; but the Stork looked musing, nodded his head, and said, "Yes; I think I know; I met many ships as I was flying hither from Egypt; on the ships were magnificent masts, and I venture to assert that it was they that smelt so of fir. I may congratulate you, for they lifted themselves on high most majestically!"
"Oh, were I but old enough to fly across the sea! But how does the sea look in reality? What is it like?"
"That would take a long time to explain," said the Stork, and with these words off he went.
"Rejoice in thy growth!" said the Sunbeams. "Rejoice in thy vigorous growth, and in the fresh life that moveth within thee!"
And the Wind kissed the Tree, and the Dew wept tears over him; but the Fir understood it not.
When Christmas came, quite young trees were cut down: trees which often were not even as large or of the same age as this Fir Tree, who could never rest, but always wanted to be off. These young trees, and they were always the finest looking, retained their branches; they were laid on carts, and the horses drew them out of the wood.
"Where are they going to?" asked the Fir. "They are not taller than I; there was one indeed that was considerably shorter; and why do they retain all their branches? Whither are they taken?"
"We know! We know!" chirped the Sparrows. "We have peeped in at the windows in the town below! We know whither they are taken! The greatest splendor and the greatest magnificence one can imagine await them. We peeped through the windows, and saw them planted in the middle of the warm room and ornamented with the most splendid things, with gilded apples, with gingerbread, with toys, and many hundred lights!
"And then?" asked the Fir Tree, trembling in every bough. "And then? What happens then?"
"We did not see anything more: it was incomparably beautiful."
"I would fain know if I am destined for so glorious a career," cried the Tree, rejoicing. "That is still better than to cross the sea! What a longing do I suffer! Were Christmas but come! I am now tall, and my branches spread like the others that were carried off last year! Oh! were I but already on the cart! Were I in the warm room with all the splendor and magnificence! Yes; then something better, something still grander, will surely follow, or wherefore should they thus ornament me? Something better, something still grander must follow -- but what? Oh, how I long, how I suffer! I do not know myself what is the matter with me!"

<>

"Rejoice in our presence!" said the Air and the Sunlight. "Rejoice in thy own fresh youth!"
But the Tree did not rejoice at all; he grew and grew, and was green both winter and summer. People that saw him said, "What a fine tree!" and towards Christmas he was one of the first that was cut down. The axe struck deep into the very pith; the Tree fell to the earth with a sigh; he felt a pang -- it was like a swoon; he could not think of happiness, for he was sorrowful at being separated from his home, from the place where he had sprung up. He well knew that he should never see his dear old comrades, the little bushes and flowers around him, anymore; perhaps not even the birds! The departure was not at all agreeable.
The Tree only came to himself when he was unloaded in a court-yard with the other trees, and heard a man say, "That one is splendid! We don't want the others." Then two servants came in rich livery and carried the Fir Tree into a large and splendid drawing-room. Portraits were hanging on the walls, and near the white porcelain stove stood two large Chinese vases with lions on the covers. There, too, were large easy-chairs, silken sofas, large tables full of picture-books and full of toys, worth hundreds and hundreds of crowns -- at least the children said so. And the Fir Tree was stuck upright in a cask that was filled with sand; but no one could see that it was a cask, for green cloth was hung all round it, and it stood on a large gaily-colored carpet. Oh! how the Tree quivered! What was to happen? The servants, as well as the young ladies, decorated it. On one branch there hung little nets cut out of colored paper, and each net was filled with sugarplums; and among the other boughs gilded apples and walnuts were suspended, looking as though they had grown there, and little blue and white tapers were placed among the leaves. Dolls that looked for all the world like men -- the Tree had never beheld such before -- were seen among the foliage, and at the very top a large star of gold tinsel was fixed. It was really splendid -- beyond description splendid.

<>

"This evening!" they all said. "How it will shine this evening!"
"Oh!" thought the Tree. "If the evening were but come! If the tapers were but lighted! And then I wonder what will happen! Perhaps the other trees from the forest will come to look at me! Perhaps the sparrows will beat against the windowpanes! I wonder if I shall take root here, and winter and summer stand covered with ornaments!"
He knew very much about the matter -- but he was so impatient that for sheer longing he got a pain in his back, and this with trees is the same thing as a headache with us.
The candles were now lighted -- what brightness! What splendor! The Tree trembled so in every bough that one of the tapers set fire to the foliage. It blazed up famously.
"Help! Help!" cried the young ladies, and they quickly put out the fire.
Now the Tree did not even dare tremble. What a state he was in! He was so uneasy lest he should lose something of his splendor, that he was quite bewildered amidst the glare and brightness; when suddenly both folding-doors opened and a troop of children rushed in as if they would upset the Tree. The older persons followed quietly; the little ones stood quite still. But it was only for a moment; then they shouted that the whole place re-echoed with their rejoicing; they danced round the Tree, and one present after the other was pulled off.
"What are they about?" thought the Tree. "What is to happen now!" And the lights burned down to the very branches, and as they burned down they were put out one after the other, and then the children had permission to plunder the Tree. So they fell upon it with such violence that all its branches cracked; if it had not been fixed firmly in the ground, it would certainly have tumbled down.
The children danced about with their beautiful playthings; no one looked at the Tree except the old nurse, who peeped between the branches; but it was only to see if there was a fig or an apple left that had been forgotten.
"A story! A story!" cried the children, drawing a little fat man towards the Tree. He seated himself under it and said, "Now we are in the shade, and the Tree can listen too. But I shall tell only one story. Now which will you have; that about Ivedy-Avedy, or about Humpy-Dumpy, who tumbled downstairs, and yet after all came to the throne and married the princess?"

<>

"Ivedy-Avedy," cried some; "Humpy-Dumpy," cried the others. There was such a bawling and screaming -- the Fir Tree alone was silent, and he thought to himself, "Am I not to bawl with the rest? Am I to do nothing whatever?" for he was one of the company, and had done what he had to do.
And the man told about Humpy-Dumpy that tumbled down, who notwithstanding came to the throne, and at last married the princess. And the children clapped their hands, and cried. "Oh, go on! Do go on!" They wanted to hear about Ivedy-Avedy too, but the little man only told them about Humpy-Dumpy. The Fir Tree stood quite still and absorbed in thought; the birds in the wood had never related the like of this. "Humpy-Dumpy fell downstairs, and yet he married the princess! Yes, yes! That's the way of the world!" thought the Fir Tree, and believed it all, because the man who told the story was so good-looking. "Well, well! who knows, perhaps I may fall downstairs, too, and get a princess as wife! And he looked forward with joy to the morrow, when he hoped to be decked out again with lights, playthings, fruits, and tinsel.
"I won't tremble to-morrow!" thought the Fir Tree. "I will enjoy to the full all my splendor! To-morrow I shall hear again the story of Humpy-Dumpy, and perhaps that of Ivedy-Avedy too." And the whole night the Tree stood still and in deep thought.
In the morning the servant and the housemaid came in.
"Now then the splendor will begin again," thought the Fir. But they dragged him out of the room, and up the stairs into the loft: and here, in a dark corner, where no daylight could enter, they left him. "What's the meaning of this?" thought the Tree. "What am I to do here? What shall I hear now, I wonder?" And he leaned against the wall lost in reverie. Time enough had he too for his reflections; for days and nights passed on, and nobody came up; and when at last somebody did come, it was only to put some great trunks in a corner, out of the way. There stood the Tree quite hidden; it seemed as if he had been entirely forgotten.
"'Tis now winter out-of-doors!" thought the Tree. "The earth is hard and covered with snow; men cannot plant me now, and therefore I have been put up here under shelter till the spring-time comes! How thoughtful that is! How kind man is, after all! If it only were not so dark here, and so terribly lonely! Not even a hare! And out in the woods it was so pleasant, when the snow was on the ground, and the hare leaped by; yes -- even when he jumped over me; but I did not like it then! It is really terribly lonely here!"

<>

"Squeak! Squeak!" said a little Mouse, at the same moment, peeping out of his hole. And then another little one came. They snuffed about the Fir Tree, and rustled among the branches.
"It is dreadfully cold," said the Mouse. "But for that, it would be delightful here, old Fir, wouldn't it?"
"I am by no means old," said the Fir Tree. "There's many a one considerably older than I am."
"Where do you come from," asked the Mice; "and what can you do?" They were so extremely curious. "Tell us about the most beautiful spot on the earth. Have you never been there? Were you never in the larder, where cheeses lie on the shelves, and hams hang from above; where one dances about on tallow candles: that place where one enters lean, and comes out again fat and portly?"
"I know no such place," said the Tree. "But I know the wood, where the sun shines and where the little birds sing." And then he told all about his youth; and the little Mice had never heard the like before; and they listened and said,
"Well, to be sure! How much you have seen! How happy you must have been!"
"I!" said the Fir Tree, thinking over what he had himself related. "Yes, in reality those were happy times." And then he told about Christmas-eve, when he was decked out with cakes and candles.
"Oh," said the little Mice, "how fortunate you have been, old Fir Tree!"
"I am by no means old," said he. "I came from the wood this winter; I am in my prime, and am only rather short for my age."
"What delightful stories you know," said the Mice: and the next night they came with four other little Mice, who were to hear what the Tree recounted: and the more he related, the more he remembered himself; and it appeared as if those times had really been happy times. "But they may still come -- they may still come! Humpy-Dumpy fell downstairs, and yet he got a princess!" and he thought at the moment of a nice little Birch Tree growing out in the woods: to the Fir, that would be a real charming princess.
"Who is Humpy-Dumpy?" asked the Mice. So then the Fir Tree told the whole fairy tale, for he could remember every single word of it; and the little Mice jumped for joy up to the very top of the Tree. Next night two more Mice came, and on Sunday two Rats even; but they said the stories were not interesting, which vexed the little Mice; and they, too, now began to think them not so very amusing either.

<>

"Do you know only one story?" asked the Rats.
"Only that one," answered the Tree. "I heard it on my happiest evening; but I did not then know how happy I was."
"It is a very stupid story! Don't you know one about bacon and tallow candles? Can't you tell any larder stories?"
"No," said the Tree.
"Then good-bye," said the Rats; and they went home.
At last the little Mice stayed away also; and the Tree sighed: "After all, it was very pleasant when the sleek little Mice sat round me, and listened to what I told them. Now that too is over. But I will take good care to enjoy myself when I am brought out again."
But when was that to be? Why, one morning there came a quantity of people and set to work in the loft. The trunks were moved, the tree was pulled out and thrown -- rather hard, it is true -- down on the floor, but a man drew him towards the stairs, where the daylight shone.
"Now a merry life will begin again," thought the Tree. He felt the fresh air, the first sunbeam -- and now he was out in the courtyard. All passed so quickly, there was so much going on around him, the Tree quite forgot to look to himself. The court adjoined a garden, and all was in flower; the roses hung so fresh and odorous over the balustrade, the lindens were in blossom, the Swallows flew by, and said, "Quirre-vit! My husband is come!" but it was not the Fir Tree that they meant.
"Now, then, I shall really enjoy life," said he exultingly, and spread out his branches; but, alas, they were all withered and yellow! It was in a corner that he lay, among weeds and nettles. The golden star of tinsel was still on the top of the Tree, and glittered in the sunshine.
In the court-yard some of the merry children were playing who had danced at Christmas round the Fir Tree, and were so glad at the sight of him. One of the youngest ran and tore off the golden star.
"Only look what is still on the ugly old Christmas tree!" said he, trampling on the branches, so that they all cracked beneath his feet.

<>

And the Tree beheld all the beauty of the flowers, and the freshness in the garden; he beheld himself, and wished he had remained in his dark corner in the loft; he thought of his first youth in the wood, of the merry Christmas-eve, and of the little Mice who had listened with so much pleasure to the story of Humpy-Dumpy.
"'Tis over -- 'tis past!" said the poor Tree. "Had I but rejoiced when I had reason to do so! But now 'tis past, 'tis past!"
And the gardener's boy chopped the Tree into small pieces; there was a whole heap lying there. The wood flamed up splendidly under the large brewing copper, and it sighed so deeply! Each sigh was like a shot.
The boys played about in the court, and the youngest wore the gold star on his breast which the Tree had had on the happiest evening of his life. However, that was over now -- the Tree gone, the story at an end. All, all was over -- every tale must end at last.

Brandon Thank you Ma'am

Thank you ma’am
In the beginning of Thank you ma’am there is a boy named roger who try’s to steal a woman’s purse so he can get some new shoes. In the end he ends up getting the shoes

In the beginning Roger runs up to Mrs. Jones and try’s to steal her purse. The purse was so heavy that the strap broke and he fell on his butt Mrs. Jones grabbed him and started shaking him some people stopped to watch and some just ignored it and moved on.

After Mrs. Jones was yelling at him she took him to her house and started cooking some food. She left the purse on her bed and roger looked back and forth and decided not to take the purse and eat the food Mrs. Jones gave him.

In the end of the story Roger Said Thank you Ma’am and started to walk away but Mrs. Jones stopped him and gave him the money he needed and she said “ don’t take money from me or any one else if you asked it would have been easier.

Roger learned that stealing is wrong and I think that the theme is if you’re nice to others they will be nice to you.

Manuel

"Thank You Ma'm"

In story "Thank You M'am" the theme is trusting others. In the bigining of the story Roger is
yust a street boy who wants to buy new shoose. So he tries to steel the purse of a women in the street but the women stops him. In the middle of the story Roger starts to understands that steling is not good. The reason that he starts understanding that steeling is not good is because the women starts trusting him. At the end of the story Roger is thank full white the women and understands that the women trust him.

In the bigining of the story Roger is yust a street boy. In the story Roger is tring to
get new blue suede shoes. The reason I think he lives in the street's is because it is 11
at nigth and most people are at home at that time an he isa kid. Also in the story it says
that the boy has a really dearty face and most of the street pearsons have dearty faces.
But in the middle of the story he starts changing.

In the middle of the book Roger starts changing in some way. He see's that the women
also known as Mrs Luella Bates Jones starts to trust him so he starts chanching. He also
see's that the women cares for him and dosen yust want him to get in troble. And he starts
to under stand that steeling is not good. At the end of the story he is happy and understand
tha stelling is not good and other stuff.

At the end of the story he is thankfull with the women and understands that steeling is not
good. In the end he is thakfull because the women did't put him in jail. And also she gives him money for the shoose. And he figures out tha steling is not good.

I learned from the story a lot of stuff. One thing that I learnedis that you should be thankfull
for what you have. In my opinion this is a pretty good book. The reason i think thise is because
you can learn a lot of stuff from it. A lso ther are a lot of themes in thise story and you can learn
a lot of stuff from temes.

christian s. thank you ma'am

Why do people do what they do? I believe they don't think about the outcome. The theme of this story " Thank You Ma'am" is that it's worth your time to teach others right from wrong. Everybody wants to see themselves with a positive image rather than commiting a criminimal act and most likely going to jail. People that are not honest are not respected. Some of the consequences of stealing is going to jail, having a criminal record, feeling shame, and poor self esteem.

Mrs.Bates showed Roger right from wrong by doing the following: not calling the police, feeding him, cleaning him up, and giving him ten dollars for new shoes. This was her way of showing, that she cared about him. Kindness always pays off.

In the end Roger becomes a respectable person and a lesson is learned. I have learned that crime does not pay. The morale of the story is that you should take your time to teach someone right from wrong because you can change their life in a positive way.

Kids should not be able to read all of the books that people publish because some of it should just be for adults to read. Like ones with vampires in it. Because some books can be inappropriate or to violent for little kids. But sometimes the violent stuff makes it interesting for older boys and love for older girls. That is what I think about this subject.

Luke Heltons Book

I am reading a book about a kid named Andre who likes to play basketball with his friend named Shawn who is on the opposite team of him. Andre had the ball and was going down the field to make the winning point. Shawn was the only blocker in Andre’s way to winning the game for them. They crashed and the basketball was spinning around the rim and it went in for the game point. Then Andre and Shawn walked off to Andre’s car to go to Shawn’s house where Shawn’s mom was making meatloaf for dinner. That is as far as I have read so far.

abner cermeno

Kids shuld not be able to see any bad things on the web, t.v,or books beacause, there is to many bad things and they can get to violent. they can also get in gangs and they can commit to drugs. some kids are bad because books. I know books are sopuused to help you get more smart but there are diferent types. There are some books that talk about violence and how it get you power. When kids read that stuff they get intrested in it and they want to copie what they hear or see. Kids also like to impressthere frends and they can do what there frend want also beacause of prearpressure and they need to get used to the prearpressure and not get in it

Edgar's Persuasive Paragraph

Students should have the freedom to read anything they want. This is true because if students have a large quantity or variety then they could be intrested in what the read. Another reason is that nowadays kids face difficult issues such as racism or violence so if they see these issues in books as well then they will feel less alone. The last reason that I and many others believe kids should have the freedom to read anything they want is because the first amendment protects and allows them the right to read anything they want.

Should Students Have the Freedom to Read Anything They Want

I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want. What I mean by that is that they can read books that makes reading interesting for the kids. If kids dont get to choose what they want to read, after a while they will get board and just stop reading. If they stop reading it can be bad in many ways. They could lose all their imagination and be alone all the time. That is why I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want.

Christian Dillon--Final

Children should be limited to watching TV violence. Watching a single episode can increase aggressiveness. Kids with emotional, behavioral, etc. problems are affected more with TV violence. Some kids are immune/numb to the violence on TV, so it doesn't affect them.

Watching a single TV episode can increase aggressiveness. For example hundreds of studies show that kids and teens imitate the violence they see on TV. Also when affected the kids/teens can afeect other kids and increse violence by thirty-minutes of TV.

Kids choose violence to solve problems. Also there hundreds of studies that there are two other similar acts like become immune to violence and imitate violence.

Kids with emotional, behavioral etc. problems are affected more with TV violence. Studies show that the impact on these kids/teens immediately or years in the future.

A way that kids and teen can watch violence is The First Amendment to have a freedom of speech. However The First Amendment cannot cover the actions that the kids and teens do.

Adrian essay

Students should have the freedom to read anything they wont.Kids will have more freedom hey dont ban books if.Kids also face tough issues and could not feel.alone.By realting to the book.Kids feel more.commortible.If they dont feel alone.So I think kids should not have a reading limit.

Erique Franco

i think kids should not be able to watch/read what ever they want because they might be too young to watch it and it might dramma ties them because there minds might not be ready to watch it because of the kind of violence it has in it. a good example is like makeing a 5 year old watch saw. I also think if a little kid watches violence on T.V. they might want to do the things they watch on t.v or read in a book they werent suppose to read because they think its cool.In conclusion i think children and there parents should make the right decision on what is appropriate to let there kids watch or read

A Lesson Before Dying Summary

I am reading the book A Lesson Before Dying and i'm on chapter 5. This book is about this kid named Jefferson who is going to go to jail for a crime he did not commit. The joury sentenced Jefferson to death by electricution. His Aunt and his other Aunt Emma want Grant, their nephew, to go talk to Jefferson to make him a man. They want Grant to talk to Jefferson because in court all anybody was saying to Jefferson was that he was not a man. That made his Aunts very sad and that is why they want Grant to go talk to him. Even though Grant dosent want to talk to Jefferson his Aunts are making him go talk Henri Pichot. They are going to talk to Henri because his brother is the sheriff. The only reason they are going to talk to him is one his aunts worked for Henri for along time and thought he would help him and two like i said before his brother is the sheriff. When they got home he went to Beyonne to go to the Rainbow club with vivian to talk about moving to Baton Rouge. She told him she couldn't right now but when her divorce was final they would. That is as far as I got in A lesson Before Dying.

ESMERALDA ESSAY SHOULD KIDS READ WHAT EVER THEY WHANT

Should kids be aloud to read what ever they want? I think no, because they can get a lot of stuff bad and horrible. The thing about the books is they can say getting in gangs and drugs that can kill you.The book can talk about sexual stuff like getting pregnant and leave family . The other thing you can get in a gang and drugs and drugs can kill you.

Now they say that the books can be seen to kids and young adults. the books can effect kids and there parents life. Now the thing is that some books can be good like the siers of twilight. The other books are to teach you some thing about the life or the turth . The Truth can tell edvice or good ideas.

sarina

For the limits it really depends on what they are reading or whatching and how old they are.If they are old enough to whatch it then it doesnt matter.If they arent then they shouldnt be whatching it.Also if they do not want to watch that which most kids dont then they wont but the older kids that want to should be able to.

Victoria

Students should not the freedom to read anything they want. They would get the bad idea. Lots of people get ride of book, but you don't want to get ride of all the books.There are kids how are mature for some books that have some violence.If you take away lots of books kids will probably not want to read at all. They want to be open to books that have there taste.

Rodrigo

Students should have the freedom to read anything they want.

I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want because that way kids will be more interested in books and maybe there spelling could be better and their vocabulary might be better.That way when they are going to do a speech or say something they could use strong vocabulary because of their reading.If students keep reading the books that they want they could relate to them because of there issues at home. Also it could help kids read fluently.When students need help on vocabulary it could help them learn vocbulary.

trever freeby

I think kids should be able to read whatever they want except for a few exceptions and limits. I think parents should help their kids decide if what their kids are reading is appropriate. The government shouldn't censure what children should read. Obvious limits are giving children adult books or books that promote drug use and racism. Books that are just about gore and violence shouldn't be given to children. In conclusion i think children and their parents should make their own decisions on what is appropriate to read.

Lesson Before Dying Summary Illianna

In a Lesson Before Dying Jefferson is being sentenced to die. So far the death date has been sentenced and Jefferson thinks himself a hog. Grant doesn't want to go see Jefferson anymore, and Miss Emma, Tante Lou want him to. When Grant visited Jefferson last time he bought him a radio to listen to. Jefferson really liked that but Miss Emma and the Reverand say that it's sin music and they want to save his soul instead. They want God to be with him intsead of sinful music.

persuasive paragraph brittany

Students should have the freedom to read anything they want to.People should allow children to read whatever they want want to read.It allows a bigger selection of books to children.An example is if a ten or eleven year old and they wanted to read harry potter or twilight they could read it but they couldn't because it would be censored.People shouldn't limit the the variety of books children could read more with a bigger selection of books that would be better than band books.

Should books be censored? Illianna

Kids should have the freedom to read anything they want. Censoring books violates civil rights and kids should be allowed to have civil rights too. We need to promote all kinds of books so that kids will read. Today most kids say reading and books are boring. They are mostly interested in video games, tv, and the internet. If books are censored then kids will have less of a variety to read. Technology is taking over and reading is becoming less popular. Books should not be censored.

Persuasive paragraph
Students should have the freedom to read anything they want. Kids will be more interested in reading if they had a choice in what they read. Sometimes kids read from a textbook throughout the day, and want to have a chance to read what they want. Kids face tough issues. By talking about those issues it will help them not feel alone. Also by reading about it, it can help them to do something about what ever is going on. To talk to someone about it. The first amendment protects the freedom of speech, as long as its not dangerous. Kids should be able to read what they want but in reason. Also depending on the age level. Some material may not be apporpriate. I think that students should have the freedom to read anything they want.

Alexia

Perssuasive Paragraph
Students should have the freedom to read anything they want. If kids get to have the freedom, to read waht they want they will be more intrested in reading. They will have choices. Kids go through hard issues sometimes. When books talk about issues like racism or violence kid's wont feel alone. People say certain books can give kids bad ideas. I wouldn't even be reading books that aren't appropriate. The first amendmant talks about the freedom of speech. Kids should read what they want, but still be appropriate.

joshua books that young people can read

Should students be able to read watever they want? No because it might be to violent. Kids should only be able to read kid books. for example kids shoudent read twilight. Kids should read books like Arthur.

Kids shoudent read scary books because they might have nightmares. Kids can get realy scared of books. Kids can be fun and cool.

nazaria should kids read anything they want

I think kids are aloud to read any book they want if like then they should read it if the don't like it then hey don't have to read it.I also there should be an age limit to read the book and if kids read like at a 8th grader than they can read that level book.Some books give bad ideas and those book should not be read.Some books we need to read people buy book to read and authors they write to get famous and how con the get famous.Some book are so good they make them into a movie like twilight saga,Charlie and the chocolate factory.No books should be jugde by its cover.

Selene

No, kid's should not read anybook they want . They should not because some books can give kid's bad ideas and at the same time it's inappropriate for them.
In books there you find some inappropriate language, ideas and bad influences . These inappropriate subjects will give a kid bad influences and will start with bad language that the books gave them.The inappropriate subjects can also contain violence, language, racism horrid ideas. Parents teacher and librariands don't whant kid's reading bad subjects that will afect thei minds at such a young age.

Students should have the rigth to read anything they want.

Students will be more intrested in reading if they have more

book choises. Kids have different taste of books. It can also

help kids how ther actions can affect other people. In book's

ther are charecters and one charecter actions can affect another

charecter. Also pople can argue that baning books violets ther civil

rigths. The First Admendment includes fredom of speach. In the

other hand some people belive that children should be protected

from bad issues for example racism or violence. But ther are

diffrent book that kids can read and be protect. In conclusion

I think students should have the rigth to read what ever they

want.

Sam's Essay

Students should have the freedom to read anything they want. Students will be more intrested in what they read, if there is a variety to choose from. Also because kids face tough issues and when books talk about those issues they feel lees alone. Lastly, because the first admendment allows and protects freedom of speech.

Jose Book Essay!

Students should not have freedom to read anything they want. Students should not have access to inappropriate subjects such as sexual education, racism, and anti-family. These kinds of books could hurt young children or give them a bad idea. These books could help kids face tough issues but, could help kids in a bad or inappropriate way. Adults are old enough to access these kinds of books. Children are too young to understand these books and can give kids harmful ideas. There should be age limits for those who want to read a certain book. Students should be protected, not harmed from books that are not meant for kids.

Final draft on TV violence by:paul

Violence on TV can affect on kid that watch 3-4 they get violent and aggressive. They should at least control what violence they what on TV some parents/government want to banned violence and the directors say that it’s freedom of speech now in days you cannot go to a movie theater if the ratings don’t say the age that you are. Some movies even have censorship that kids should not even see. Even according to Francis G. an authority on movie censorship and she does not like at all the movies that have censorship. The movies that have censorship and some of them are even banned because they did not allow showing it. So not even in books because any one can read the book.kid tell their parent that if they can watch rated (R) movies that are only 18 years and older. Some movies have mild violence, mild language and in some movies karate guys kick them in the stomach and they copy them and do it on some one else. The government wants’ to stop them but they say that you cannot do noting because it’s freedom of speech is a act that comes withe in someones mind and i that is not right and fair for the censorship people to tolerate that tipe of inapropiate movie/book.And even parent have to take care of there kid on what they are watch on TV and not make them see these tipe of movies on TV and they even say it's freedom of speech.I say we should put a stop on TV violence on what whe watch by the way parents have part of the fault by not correcting them .

Drinking and Driving
By: Michael Martinez

What I think is a bad influence o kids, teenagers, would be drinking, or drinking and driving because of the accidents that adults have when drinking then driving in the open road. I also think that drinking should be illegal because of the number showings that comes up for drinking, 90% of people get in car crash’s mostly teenagers shown in drinking and driving. Also shown in a graph people tend to only drink 1 shot of alcohol people still do not get in car crash’s, or when adults are drunk the tend to give their children/teenagers some also.

Manuel T.V. Violence Essay

Should we limit TV violence? I say we should limit TV violence for many reasons .One of them is that American children watch too much television and a lot of its violence. Also TV can affect kid in many ways. But in the other hand there are many reasons why we shouldn’t limit television violence.
But I steel say we should limit TV violence.

First of all American children watch to much TV violence. American children watch an average of 3 hours to 4 hours a day. A lot of viewing of TV violence courses greater aggressiveness .Kid's who see show's or program's wear violence is really realistic are more likely to do what they see in television. Second of all television can affect kids in many way’s.

Television can be a powerful influence in a kid. Hundreds of studies have found that television
Can affect kids and teens in horrible ways. One of them is that they become numb to the horror of television violence. Another way that can affect them is that they accept violence as a way to solve problems. Also they can imitate what they see in television. But in the other hand there are reasons why we should not limit television violence.

In the other hand it will be hard to limit television violence. The reason it will be hard is because the First Amendment. It is really hard to fight against it because in it there is freedom of speech. But there are limits in the First Amendment. For example there is pg, pg13, R.

In conclusion I say we should limit TV violence.
One of them is that American children watch too much television and a lot of its violence. Also TV can affect kid in many ways. But in the other hand there are many reasons why we shouldn’t limit television violence. In conclusion I say that we should limit TV violence.

victoria valencia

Why are kids getting so violent? They are getting violent because they are watching violent TV shows and movies.

How do kids get violent? They are getting violent because when they watch certain TV channels or movies that have a lot of violence and stuff like that they tend to act what they see on TV.

Are parent’s part of the problem? They can be part of the conflict like if your parents are divorced and always fighting then you will start to act just like your parents. Adults are also part of the conflict because if they mentally or physically abuse you like hitting or calling you bad names then that will affect your life forever.

Can your TV be affecting you in some way your whole life? Well it depends on what channels you are watching it also depends on how you want to live your life. Kids are easily influenced by the TV. They imitate what they see like punching, kicking, and starting a fight.

Kids are not only violent because of the TV. Kids are violent because they choose to. Kids are not only influenced of the TV they can be influenced by their friends or family. Not everybody has a TV. Kids don’t only watch bad violent TV shows and movies.

johnny revised essay

I think that tv violence has negative impact on kids . because most kids watch 3 to 4 hours of tv everyday. And its mostly younger kids that watch the most tv . And
since they're growing up their thoughts and behaviors are changing.And hundred of studies from universities and colleges say and have proven that violence on tv and in movies is not a good influnece on childrens minds .Because they're maturing and if they see violence everday they get
more aggressive and violent and think they can solve their problems like the people on tv who fight to solve their problems. like if thier somone mean to them they will act like the people on tv like steven segal and bruce lee who break bones and kill people to solve there problems
and eventually they so used to seeing violence everday
that they become numb. so later in life they will not care if they hurt someone and eventually become a bully. and in
conclusion to this most parents if possible should always have parent supervision on children when they are watching tv or movies. and have strict rules to what you allow your children to watch. and if theres anything you can do you to prevent it you should do it.

Homeless Kids and their Families
(1st Draft)

We should donate money to help the homeless families and their children. We should help them because many homeless kids drop out or get held back a year. We also need to get homeless families and children off the streets so they are not exposed to any kind of danger or violence on the street. Another reason to help them is to help all the homeless families and kids get off the streets and into safe clean homes and get their parents jobs.

Many people argue that homelessness is their own fault and when they give men money they use it wrong. However, most homeless people are kids or whole families.

Homeless kids drop out or get held back. The Seattle Eastside Family Examiners say that “If homeless children are able to make it to school the are more likely to be suspended, drop out or get held back a year.

We need to get homeless families and kids off the streets so they are not exposed to danger or violence on the streets. The Seattle Eastside Family Examiners also say that “Over half of the homeless children are elementary school age, while 42% are under six, and 25% of them have witnessed violence while living on the streets. This could lead the hids to violence and gangs later on in life for them.

We need to help all the homeless families and kids get off the streets and into safe clean homes and get their parents jobs. This could help the children have better lives. The poverty rate in CA has stayed stable at a little bit over 13% between 2002 and 2005 and dropped slightly to 12.2%.

In conclusion we should donate money to help homeless families and their kids because there are so many things we can do like hel prevent them from dropping out of school, and getting them off the streets so they are not exposed to danger or violence. Also because we need to help all the homeless families and their kids off the streets and into safe clean homes and get their parents jobs. So You should go out now and find out what you can do to help homeless families get off the streets!!
