Little Manhattan

Little Manhattan has to be my favorite movie of all time. A romantic comedy about innocent puppy love.

The Sorry Email BoyFriend POV

I'm sorry I went through your messages, it was wrong and i know that now. It was stupid and I would give anything to trun back the clock. I do trust you. I promise to never to do it again. I promise that I will make it up to you some way or somehow. But most of all I promise to never doubt you again. I really like you and I promise to never doubt you again. Do you forgive me? :/
( Should she forgive him?)

Break- Up Email Girl Friend POV

2:26 PM Posted by scordova188 0 comments
Today my perspective on you changed. I trusted you and I thought you trusted me, but obviously you didn't if you felt the need to go through my messages. It broke my heart that you would even think that I was talking to someone behind your back. So what if guys were posting comments on my page? I would have never doubted you. I really like you but it feels like your suffocating me. I really didn't want to do this but I need space and your not giving it to me. I think we should take a break. Sorry.

I picked answer C "Just tell her. Her reaction will say it all." because in a relationship there should always be trust or it's not even worth it. If you trust her their should be no reason to snoop or hire a private investigator.
I think that people that say mean things Online are really insecure, butthey feel they can say whatever they want because the internet gives you an invisible mask. No one can see you and that gives people power. Online you can be anyone or anything and say or do anythng. With a couple of letters and a single click you can turn someone's life upside down.
Privacy for me is very important because i grew up always having to share. I never had my own room or even closet. I always had to share and i feel that I'm growing up and its time for me to have some kind of privacy. I don't let anyone know my password because i had a bad experience leaving my aim open for like 10 minutes. I had left to walk my dog and i come back and see that my status say "I'm gay". I was furious and embarrassed. I stomped my way over too my giggling cousins and we got into our biggest fight ever, it was a big issue because the same thing had happened to my dads facebook page some one wrote the exact same thing. everyone from my family started asking me question and asking if i was really gay. It was hurtful because no one would listen to me, except a very few people. After a couple of days everything got cleared up and it was okay but my cousins STILL call me gay. They wrote the rumour and don't let it go. I know they're joking but it's still hurtful.
It got worse when a cirten girl in our school posted a comment saying that if i was bi she would ask me out. My family saw that and friends. What made it worse for me is that I had already told her that I was straight. I was forced to block this person and it was really hurtful.

Ayiti : The Cost Of Life







1) How is Ayiti different from 3rd World Farmer? How is it the same?






Ayiti is different from 3rd world farmer because in 3rd world farmer you can play as long as you want but in Ayiti there are four seasons.Also in 3rd world farmer its only you working not your family. In 3rd world farmer all you do is grow crops but n Ayiti you can work in different jobs and send kids to school.It is the same as 3rd world farmer because you still have to keep your family alive and get a a good amount of money.






2) What strategies did you use? For example, did you combine work and school, or did you send everyone to work? Which worked? Which did not?






I combined work and school and I didn't end up so well. Everyone kept getting sick or dying. I tried using a different tactic. I sent the kids to school then in the summer i sent them to work on family farm and the parents would work in whatever they offered. Everything was going good until everyone started to get sick and in the end i ended up with -5468 money. At the end everyone died. =(






3) Why would parents choose to devote so much effort to sending their children to school? What obstacles did you face in trying to keep them in school?






I think parents choose to devote so much effort into sending their kids to school because they want a better future for their childeren's lives. they want their kid to have a higher education so that they can get a better job and get on with life. Parent want all their kids to be succesful. No parent wants to see their childeren end up homeless and living of the city. What college you get into effects what kind of job you get. Two people go to a job interview. One of them went to a community college and got the best grades and had a 4.0 average. The other one went to Harvard but didn't do so well. Which one would get the job?. I asked my father and my stepmom this question and their answers were that they want to see their childeren grow up and be happy, but sometimes kid just don't get. My stepmom was top of her class in colombia and graduated with honors. She had her degree for accounting and she made very good money, but when she came over here she didn't know what to do. She didn't speak english but she made herself be understood. She got a deent paying job but its nothing compared to what she earned in colombia. My father started college but sadly didn't get to finish because when he came over here he had to start working. He devots so much time in making sure that my brother and I have a better future than he did. I will always thank him for that, he's the best parent in the world. <3

Sexting

Thanks for the complement but i will not send any pictures. I have more respect for myself than that! All your gonna do with those pictures is foward them to your buddies. You think im that dumb? You and I could go to jail. I could go to jail for sending them and you could go to jail for having them. Whats wrong with you?! Don't ever talk to me again!

Right To Public Assembly


1. Why should people have right to public assembly (to gather in one place for a reason)?

I think people should have right to public assembly because its like freedom of speech, everyone is allowed to speak for what they believe in. People gather in one place as a way of fighting against what they believe in without violence. I have been to a public assembly and people all around the world gathered around to fight against the law SB1070. People sung some marched but their was this one guy. He was supporting the law SB1070 and he came up to us saying " Is that all you can do? This pueblo sucks. Go back to Mexico!" Then he stuck his tongue out like a little kid. That didn't hurt anybody if anything it made us want to shout louder. Their were babies on their parents shoulders holding up signs. I remember my baby cousin started marching around our block with one the signs we brought home. she's only 6 and she yelled it at the top of her lungs not caring who was looking at her.

2. How exactly do you think technology helped protesters in the Middle East to assemble (Hint: think about texting, Facebook and Twitter)?

I think that texting and using facebook really does help, because even though you can't exactly be there you can help out through facebook supporting the cause. I think the internet brings people together. It makes us one huge communtiy.

SB1070 =(

Arizona's governor Jan Brewer signed what is now the most horrendous law of all time. The law SB1070 allows cops to question you on your immigration status, just based on the way you look. Also if they say they're doing this right then why don't they pull over Indian's or Arab's, I have nothing against Indian's or Arab's or any other kind of race, but if they're doing this fairly then why are they only pulling over Hispanics. It also prohibites people to knowingly hire immigrants. People say that that is the reason unemployment is rate is so high. So what immigrants aren't allowed to work because citizens can't find jobs. Who's fault is that?
There are kids who grow up in the as immigrants and they study and work hard. For what? so that they can be deported after a lifetime of hard work. Some immigrants grow up to be the most famous people in the world. The Dream Act is a group that helps student immigrants. The Dream Act has been denied two times but they don't give up, they just get back up and try again. I think we should all be like that, never give up.
Its scary not knowing if one of your family members goes out to work like any other day and not knowing if they come back. What do you think of this law?

Made In L.A. Part 2

I think that forever 21 is the blame because the should know where the clothes they pay for are made from and I just slapped away the case like they really don't care. If no immigrant people worked for sweat shops they would run out of business. You think that a person who went to school and got a degree they would be willing to work for three dollars per hour! Nope they would have no one to make anything.

Made In L.A Part 1

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?
I think its different because living conditions are a little bit better than in Indonesia.

2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at McDonald's?
Immigrants end up working at sweat shops because they don't have any citizenship papers and most jobs require those papers so the job that doesn't require and papers and no experience is sweat shops.

3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie
I think that at the end of this movie all the workers for Forever 21 Will have made a difference in working together and not being afraid that they would be deported or go to jail. Showing other immigrants in the same position that they shouldn't be afraid that they have a voice and can speak up.

Behing The Swoosh Part 1

1. What does it mean to “make a decent living”? What should you be able to afford to buy?
You should be able to afford clothes,sneaker, going to the hospital, and basic stuff.

2. Where do your sneakers come from? Who makes them?
I think sneaker are made in a factory somewhere in the world.

3. What is a sweatshop (take a guess, even if you have no idea)?
I think a sweat shop is a place where children have to work as child labor.

Alien Conversation


Alien: Hello Earthling.  Thank you for conversing with me.

You: Your welcome 

Alien:  May I ask you a few questions?

You:  Of course!

Alien: I have never been to earth before, can you tell me a little bit about it?  What are some beautiful and interesting places I should visit?

You: Earth is a very interesting planet. You can visit so many places like the zoo, parks, the statue of liberty, it really is fascinating. 

You:  What is your planet like?

Alien:My planet is covered in snow but if you go to the other side it's all covered in lava. It's a really wonderful place.

Alien:  You humans seem like you’re very angry with each other.  I watched people walk down the street and most people didn’t even look at each other!  Why is that?

You: On earth we don't to people we don't know. Sometimes we may smile but that's it.

You:  What’s it like on your planet when you walk around?

Alien: Oh everybody knows everybody on my planet.

Alien:  Why does your home country go to war with other countries?

You: My home country went to war because we fight for what we believe in. We don't let people stomp on us without a reason. If they want something from us they have to go through all of us.

Alien:  It seems to me that what you call “marshmallows” are the best thing to eat on your planet.  Why do you not eat these every day?

You: We don't eat it everyday because marshmallows cost money and some of us don't have that money.

You:  What do you eat on your planet?

Alien: We eat raw lava rocks and live two headed snow snakes.

Alien:  It seems to me that you do not treat earth very well.  I see people throwing their trash on the ground, cutting down forests, and burning dirty coal to make electricity.  Why do humans not care about earth? Is anyone doing anything about it?

You: Some people are ignorant and don't seem to care. Some people are trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle. We try to spread the word but some people pretend not to hear anything

                                                                                                                              - Denaya Payne

 2. I would say goodbye to everybody I know, Give all my money to animal rescues, Go and eat everything that I have never tried.
                                                                        -Amber Givens
3. I would live to the fullest and do everything I haven't done.
                                                                                                         -Desiree Sim
4.  I would jet ski and spend my time with my wife and Ruby

5. I would say goodbye to my family and go on King Da Ka and jump of it at the top
                                                                                                                                     -Shakira Cordova 

Interviewing Nicole

  1-  What information and images are OK to post? What’s not OK to post?

 I think that the pictures shouldn't  posted are pictures that will make you regret posting them for everybody to see. Also pictures like naked pictures.
pictures that I think are happy moments, like your family or things you love.

  2- Have you ever posted something online that embarrassed you or got you into trouble?

 I have never posted anything that could embarrassed me online. Because I think that if you wouldn't do it in real life you shouldn't do it online.

  3- Is there any way to guarantee complete privacy when you post things online?
    
   I think that there isn't any way to have complete privacy online because the makers of the website see everything you post. So it isn't private

  4- How might things you post online affect your future?
   
   I think that what you post affect your future by for example because people tell think before you do something like post naked pictures. Sure years will pass but that will always be a part of your life and that will never change.

Pitbull Fighting


Pitbull fighting is wrong. These dogs don't deserve to live such a horrible life. They are just like
any other dog with a bad history. Pitbulls are looked on as monsters but who are the monsters here
the dogs or the dog fighters? think about that. Dogs are like children. The way you raise them is the
way they act. Many people own pitbulls and they act like any other dogs. To have a dog you don't
need money or a fancy car. If you give him your heart he'll give you yours............

Piercings

  The most interesting parts of this documentary is when they showed all the piercings that people can get. It's shocking that people would pierce their bodies like that.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        1. the three reasons people pierce their bodies is because i think they feel they can express their way through changing their bodies. another reason is that people think that piercings are cool. Also think that some teens use it as a way to rebel against their parents.                                                   2. I think that if a person that has a small sized earring that it won't say nothing about them but if they get those huge piercings i would think that they are crazy.                                                                              3. I do think they they are such things as too many piercings. A person that get piercing all over there bodies is wayyyyy to much.
