Afghan Girls get injured by Acid; Scared to go to School

In the article "Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School" Shamisa Husseini and other girl and older women suffer and experience the burning of acid sprayed in their face. Also this explains that afghan girls and women are sprayed with burning acid by Taliban terrorists, To keep them from going to school. Shamisa Husseini said in the article that she still has to go to school even if she's killed. The quote that stands out the most in this article is that other than Shamisa, 14 other girls were injured (burned) by the acid as well. Although 1,300 other female students have returned to the community fixed,but still remain in there homes.This goes to show that obvisouly this is a major issue to the Afghan parents. Before I started reading this article I though it was going to be about a couple of teenage girls getting burned by toxic waste. Now after reading the article I realize that this article is somewhat I imagined it to be about. This article also reminded me a little bit about a movie on military soldiers getting burned by toxic waste and though it would kill them because they started getting sick really bad. Honestly if this was going on in America I wouldn't to come to school either because of the fear of being burned by acid by a stranger I don't know. How could that Taliban people do this to little girls that honestly didn't do anything to them? Who knows the real true honest explaination for this cause, but it's good that no more girls are getting injured (burned) by acid.

Firefighters risk their lives to save a warehouse

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120409_5alarm_fire_estroys_warehouse_firefighter_hurt.html

In the Philadelphia Newspaper there's an article called "2 Firefighters Killed, 2 Hurt in 5-alarm Fire." This article is written by the Philadelphia Staff Report. Also this article is mainly about how 4 firefighters risked theirs lives to save a furniture store form embers that started in a warehouse. Therefore 2 firefighters died after being trapped in the collapsed furniture store from the warehouse at East York and Jasper Street. The others two firefighters were quickly rushed to the Temple University Hospital. For example in the article it says "the fire was reported at 3 a. m. and declared under control at 6 a. m." I honestly think that the families of the two firefighters that died are very hurt to have them risk their lives and offer themselves to save a building from burning. Also I think that the other firefighters are very hurt just as much as the family members and their co-workers are. I feel as though they died in honor and not in vain because they didn't just save the people, but saved the on going fire the could've killed more than just themselves. So that's why i feel as though they should have a proper memorial and died in honor not vain.

Priests Trial Delay

 http://articles.philly.com/2012-03-25/news/31236905_1_defrocked-priest-gag-order-abusive-priests
 In the Philly Newspaper there's an article called "Delay sought in priests' trial" by John B. Martin. This is currently about  Msgr William J Lynn and  Rev James J Brennan sexually assaulted little boys since 1996. Parents say that he should go to jail and what makes do such irresponsible things. I feel as though both men  should go to jail. I feel as though his trials should not be on delay because they could still be sexually assaulting little boys. I suggest that nobodies children should be sexually assaulted. To me I think he should be sentenced to life in prison because no matter what they says they still commited a crime that was not suppose to happen in the first place.life in prison will teach him the lesson of leaving people alone  especially little boys. they needs to brought to justice because if he's not he will still continue to proceed with his actions. Both men had a trail Monday and was excused from the court.looks like they never were put to jail all the way.

Asian Couple Gets Robbed

There is an article in the Philly news called "Video shows gang attacking Asian couple." The article briefly explains how a Asian couple gets robbed in their driveway and in their home by 7 African Americans. Also this talks about how as the robbery was going on it was all caught on tape and that the house has robbed before while they weren't home. An quote in the article by the Korean-American husband is "they took the $ 3,000 he had in his pocket and took the $ 4,000 the from the man's wife." I feel as though robberies are completely wrong. In addition I feel as though that the robbers robbed the Korean-American couple for the money and basically knew who they were before they robbed them. Posters should be put up to find out who these people are. Also people should make sure they lock their windows, doors, and garage doors so they don't get robbed and they know that they are not going to get robbed. My family has been robbed more then once and we made sure that every thing was locked. A lot of my dads stuff was stolen. We have yet to figure out why, who, and how did we get robbed if we know that everything was in check. Also a lot of other families in the world get robbed for no apparent reason therefore people shouldn't do the wrong thing they should do the right thing in life because if they don't their going to end up in jail for their entire life or maybe shorter.

I'm a Criminal and You are too

There's an  short article in the CNN News called "I'm a criminal and so are you." This article talks about how Michelle Alexander identifies herself as a criminal and is saying that everyone is an criminal too. Also she is also saying that everyone every now and then commits a crime or breaks the law. A quote from the article states "No matter what their color, age or gander, most of the people in my neighborhood  and in my workplace seem to think criminals exist somewhere else -- in ghettos, mainly." This quote mainly says that around Alexander's work area and neighborhood people are saying people that are ghetto cause the most criminals more than they do. I think that everyone creates crimes equally no matter what the race or who you are. If you break the law then you break the law there's nothing you or no one can do about it. When i first started reading this article I though about the criminals in jail instead of me being a criminal. Now that I think about Alexander is right everyone is a criminal and no one can stop it or do anything. Whats done is done, you can't change it.

Pergancy outside of Marriage

An article in the New York times called "For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage" talks about unmarried women having children. Also younger women that have children are illegitimacy. Furthermore Lisa Mercado is an unmarried women with a 6 year-old daughter that hardly spends with her child because of working two jobs.The father barely even lends a hand cause of dealing with other children of his own. The reasons that the article gives for as to why people are marrying less before having children are diverse of globalization and birth control pills. I do, but then I don't agree with these reasons because globalization is always the problem and birth control doesn't always 100% works for every women. I honestly think that people are having children because they want to be with someone, but the boyfriend or SOUL MATE doesn't want to commit to the relationship or take care of the baby. My parents aren't married because my mom and dad never decided to get married. I honestly think that my dad and mom being married won't make a difference whether they're married or not because the way I was raised will always be the same no matter what happens.I don't expect to get married in the future meaning as though I want to really focus on school then worry about kids.I don't expect to raise a family of my own, but to have a boyfriend that's really going to commit the relationship before kids.

Temperature Rises and Lowers

There's a article in the Philly Newspaper called "Big warm up begins, but how high will temperatures go?" saying that there will be higher temps in a couple of days. Also it talks about how the temperature rises then goes down to 48 degrees Thursday night with rain. In the article it says "then showers move in Thursday overnight into Friday."This quote means that when Thursday comes it will rain and it will continue to rain until Friday. I honestly think that the temperature is crazy because meaning as though the temperature will rise on Thursday it would still be cold on Saturday and Sunday.So therefore there's is no point of having to get hype about Thursday's temperature then all of sudden it gets really cold. I suggest that more people in Philadelphia should watch the news so they would know what the weather is and pay attention to the temperature for the days to come.
