MY CANDIDATE......HILARY CLINTON

....HILARY CLINTON
1)The frist reason and the reason I think is most important is education. She feels the way I do. That we haven't done enough to help support our students.
2)I also think pro-choice is a good way to go with abortion. Like she says being pro-choice doesn't mean you are pro-abortion but are willing to support the choice of any woman.
3)Her point on maternaty leave is a great one. "Parents shouldn't have to make a choice on being a good or a good worker". I strongly believe we have the right to take time off when it's for our children.
4)My fourth reason is that, Hilary believes in Global Warming. I know she wants to help stop it and to make people more aware. Which is a great thing to do.
5)She knows when she has made a mistake. That mistake was her vote on the war. It was a mistake. I also like the way she says "I was misled by "false" intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction presented by the Bush administration. She has opened her eyes and that is what makes her a even better CANDIDATE!!

THE FIRST PART LAST

This book was great one. Because it takes us into the life of a young man. We get to see how a boy grows up into a man. I liked the book because it's not about I girl. We now know that maybe there are men out there who take responsibilty for there child. But it also brings up a question about. Why when we see a young man with a baby we think it's cute but, when we see a young girl with a baby we think the opposite??? We think she is way too young, that why didn't she protect herself, all bad things. Well that is a whole other topic. I did love the book and I would recommend it to all those single fathers out there.

w0rDs aLivE ReSp0nSe

Well to start this response off, I LOVED the book. It taught me to be a better mother, to love all I have because there are people out in the world who have less. I know now not to give up on my dreams. With this book, I learned the troubles that people go through to have their dreams come true. The book was great and a bit sad. The ending was not so good; I would of liked if Enrique had his daughter with him. The discussion was also good. I believe it was the best we have had so far. We covered a lot of important topics, such as immigration, the Mexican-U.S. borders, and the so called 'American Dream', and the never ending love that grows between mothers and their children. I just hope the next book is as good as this one because I like the fact that a book can teach me so many things about myself and who I want to be in life.

POSADA....FELIZ NAVIDAD

Las Posadas is a nine day celebration that starts Dec.16 and ends Dec.24. which is called "Noche Buena". This symbolizes the trials which they believe Mary and Joseph endured before finding a place to stay and where Jesus could be born. For the Posada every home will have a Nativity scene, and the hosts of the Posada act as the innkeepers. The Pilgrims request lodging by singing a traditional song about the Pilgrims. They carry small lit candles in their hands. They will ask for lodging in three different houses but only the third house will let them in. That house s where the Posada will be held. In the house the guests will kneel around the Nativity scene to pray. This is followed by the singing of traditional Chistmas songs and the party fot the children.

Inez

In this story Inez is stereotyped in so many ways. She is accused of being a bad mother who can't support her kids and is a dead beat. All the people in the story think she is an irresponsible person. They say she is a thief, whore, abandons, and underprivileged. These people have no idea who she really is, but they judge her just by the way she talks or dresses and never take the time to know the real her.
Society stereotype me as a bad, young, irresponsible mother. All because I am a young mother and I had my son too young. They may think so many things about me and they don't even know me. This is what they think but how do they really know what my life is and what I have to go through. Society thinks that because I have a baby when I was 16 I must be a little girl who slept around and got pregnant. This comments make me feel angry. They can't put me down because I know that they are not true, but it does hurt. So that only makes me stronger and makes me want to prove them all wrong.
Well I do it all the time I guess it's just like a defense mechanism. It's not that I have low self-esteem because I don't. I just do it before they do it to me. Sometimes I do feel wrong for doing it because that person might not do it to me. I know that all people do it and some for the same reasons too. We aren't perfect.
