Party I favpr the most

I favor the Democrats more then the Republicans. I don't exactly agree with all their ideas because there is always a downfall to them. I am an independent when i comes to saying what political party i favor the most, because Republicans also have some good ideas like in the AIMS. Without the standerized test not many students would care about school

Hurricane Gustav

Hasn't New Orleans already suffered enough because of hurricanes? Over the years New Orleans Has suffered a lot especially because hurricanes. In 2005 New Orleans was hit with the most dangerous hurricane yet to have hit New Orleans. It left behind a city shattered by death, floods and ruin. On the third anniversary of the storm that destroyed the city and has left it still struggling to recover. Weather Forecasters announced Hurricane Gustav on August 25, 2008. But was New Orleans spared?
Hurricane Gustav was formed in August 25,2008 going southeast of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and rapidly strengthened into a tropical storm. On August 26 Hurricane Gustav was considered a hurricane when it was completely formed. That same day Hurricane Gustav made land fall near the Haitiana Town of Jacmel. It hit Jamaica and ravaged Western Cuba and then steadily moved across the Gulf of Mexico. When Hurricane Gustav was Formed it was a category 3.But they were wrong.
Weather forecasters believed that as Hurricane Gustav got nearer to the U.S it would become stronger. But on September 1, Hurricane Gustav hit Louisiana but as a category 2. As 4 hours went by Hurricane Gustav fell into a category 1. So it proves that the weather forecasters were wrong. After many people heard that Hurricane Gustave decreased in categories it relieved a lot of people from their worries. But not from their troubles.Many people weren't ready for another repeat like Hurricane Katrina. Many New Orleans officials lost $2 billion dollars in reconstructing part of New Orleans but many were afraid it would be gone to waste.
After Hurricane Gustav hit it left at least 8 people dead and a cost of $5 billion in two states.
four in traffic accidents and three from falling trees in Baton Rouge and Lafayette — along with three patients who died as they were being evacuated to hospitals or nursing homes beyond the hurricane's reach.
Hurricane Gustav cracked tree branches, knocked out power to a million homes and triggered localized flooding, but apparently spared the vulnerable New Orleans levee system. Mayor Ray Nagin, who orchestrated a successful effort to evacuate nearly all of his city's 310,000 residents ahead of Gustav, was confident enough to start talking about letting citizens return to their homes as early as Tuesday. When Hurricane Gustav was announced many charities got to work. Bush says that a lot of people handled Hurricane Gustav better than Hurricane Katrina.
Many people are ready to go back to their homes in New Orleans. But Mayor Ray Nagin, is still having people check the damage. Hurricane Gustav showed the vulnerabilities in the levee's. But many people are already doubting the next storms to come. Hurricane Katrina prepared New Orleans and Louisiana for Hurricane Gustav.

What was the greatest thing I have learned this year?

The greatest thing i have learned would be the Great Depression and the Civil war. I feel that i have learned most from them because i have really learned or seen pictures of how these events happened. These lessons and everything else that all my teachers have taught me have really opened my eyes. From the way see people and how i see the world. 7th grade for me and probably for anyone else has taught me to know who really is my friend. Because some friends can call themselves your friends and behind your back they talk about you really bad.That's what i feel i have learned all year.

Career

What makes a job good? What makes a job good is how the other employees treat you and how the boss treats you. What makes a job good is if you enjoy that job you are doing. What makes a job good if you get paid well. What makes a job bad is if you try to talk to your boss and if he or she yells at you and doesn't pay attention to you. What makes a job bad is if you don't get paid right, and if other employees treat you bad and discriminate you. The job i want to do is be a lawyer. The one job I really don't want to do is working in McDonalds.

Art or Crime?



I think this is art.I think that because art expresses and shows how you feel. Art is a message no matter where it is. The message that they wrote is a good message. Because they before this message was found they killed thousands of Buddhist monks, so they had a reason to make that tag on the wall. Why did the police kill monks, in the first place?So people can't consider this picture a crime. I consider this art. That's what i think of this picture. In the picture they showed a police men slaughtering a monk. It's not crime it's a message. It's asking how long will they kill monks, and not do anything about it.

Mostly because of Global Warming.Because of global warming produce is going down. oil, is even getting hard to find.Some companies could experience The Great Depression worser than back then.That's why i think The Great Depression can happen again.

Great deprresion in lifes


What i see in this picture is a sign.That sign says that "Jobless men keep going. We can't take care of our own. " I guess what they are trying to say is that. during the great depression they couldn't take care of their workers.So, maybe then men would leave states to go look for a job.And that sign they have in the background is what put so, when someone asks why are they leaving, they would look up at the sign and that would answer their question. The difficulties they had was men leaving states to go look for jobs. So it affected the population, and the economy.
