Character Unit Intro

Do people ever really Change?

I think that people can change , because I've seen people in movies and in real life that just come out of jail and you can see that they've changed. For example in the book called "Tears of a tiger" a friend's death changed the other friends life and how they acted. I can connect this topic to my uncle because he was a really bad man, not to me or my family just like he did not care about no one's feelings or life except his wife , if he had something good to say he turns it right into a bad thing , he also like to start fights , so i can connect it because his wife died years ago and he changed every part of him , he changed the way he Spoked , he loved every one like he never did . So i guess people can change.

Election Reflection

Obama's election is important to me because he won this election and now he's the president of the U.S.A , and he's also going to run our country and also what's happening or wrong and we are the ones who are going to live in his beliefs. I think that Obama is really smart because he talks about important issues in the United states. One of the important issues is health care and the economy. The way I predict Obama in the next four years as a president is that we will have The United States in good hands and in good power. I would want Obama to work on the issue of education and health care because those issue are really important and also because those issues are really important and we all care about kids staying behind and we want no kids staying behind. Now that obama is president i feel that this country is really in good hands and now i feel that we will have the best life also the best leader also the best country i also think that what made this election historic was because the issuse grew in a big way.

3 skinny question:

• what day did he visit Michigan?
• i can't understand when he says "Engineers didn't know what to do and how to make it happen, but it did, and that is what I am promising to do with our energy and fuel."
• how do people send the text messages to Obama?
• did Obama only talked about gas and fuel in Michigan?
  

3 fat questions:

• why did people text the Obama campaign?

How does the information in the box "a day in the life (of me!)"help the reader understand the article?


the information in the box "a day in the life (of me!)"help the reader understand the article better because she include the time and what she does from when she woke up and when she went to bed! like for example :she included in the article that at "6:30 get up" and at the end of the schedule "9:30 or 10:00 bet time!". Thats what made the reader understand the article better.
