Dia de los Muertos - Pick a Person

I plan to construct a Dia de los Muertos altar about my grandmother, Anna Prietto-Sandoval. Her main charcter trait is wise. This person is known for being the greatest chief to ever lead her tribe for twenty whole years. Her appearance when she was a young woman, was known to be very beautiful and as she got older she started looking stronger and healthier every day. Others think my grandma is a very powerful and positive person to being around. She always has something wise to say about what goes on around the reservation. My grandma always thought that the children of the tribe should always get involved in their culture and never give up on their people. A few items that I may include  in my altar to represent this person are beaded jewelery, material, more pictures and some flowers. I selected this person because shes the greatest person, that I know of, that has ever lived.

Academic Language Week 8 - Ten Commandments

Should doctors be allowed to help critically ill patients commit suicide? Yes, I believe that doctors should be allowed to
help critically ill patients commit suicide. My first reason is that a
lot of people that are ill and know that they are going to be deceased
soon so why would you have a CRITERIA to keep them in pain? It makes
more sense to just let them put themselves out of their misery. The
patient doesnt have to get CONSENT from anyone but their doctor,they
have lived a good life so obviously they know they are making a right
choice. My second reason is that it's EMPHASIZED that doctors shouldn't
kill lives. Well taking the shot to end the process is much more
cheaper then to keep them on life support and on machines. Those are my
reasons on why it should be okay for the doctors to do this.

Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile

Teenagers should set their social networking  profile settings to private. One reason they should set it to private is because if they post too much about where they live, predators could easily find them. Anyone can put up pictures and access your information so they could use it to blackmail you and give you a bad reputation. Someone could cyberbully you if they can see your information. A lot of bad things may come out of someone's decision to not set their profile to private.

Dragons Den 7: Would You Rather?

I would rather get caught singing in the mirror rather than getting caught spying on my crush. It is less embarrassing to get caught singing in the mirror because it is something to forget about easily. Getting caught spying on a crush is far more embarrassing and it will be awkward the next time you see that person. In the future I hope that if I ever get caught doing something that's really embarrassing I hope that it is simple and something I and others can forget.

“Two Kinds” Character Analysis Paragraph

In the story "Two Kinds", Jing-mei's mother is very strict. I feel that she is a good mother that likes to challenge her daughter's abilities. When she grabs Jing-mei and sits her on the piano stool, it shows that she is very impatient and wants something done. Jing-mei's mother is an asian woman. Her mother's thoughts and feelings are pointed very strongly at her creating a child star of her daughter. She gives a lot of orders and commands that frustrate Jing-mei. She is a lot like mothers these days who force their children to do things they want them to do.

"Two Kinds" Mother-Daughter Conflict

In the conflict between Jing-mei and her mother, her mother is strict yet supportive to her even though she is forcing her to play the piano and to become a prodigy. My mother did the same to me and I am greatful that I had the opportunities to learn new things during that time. She taught me that with a little push, I can do anything thats possible though it may be difficult, and learning to play the piano was very difficult.

Dragons Den: Campus Donations

I guess I'm glad that significant things were donated. A football field, bleachers, and a track have been donated to my peers and I. I guess I feel thankful for these things. When I see the people who donated to San Pasqual Academy I will be very respectful.
