This article "Seven Injured In Another Stabbing In China" by Michelle FlorCruzis
about how 7 people have been stabbed by a man with a cleaver on their
way home from school. 6 were students and the last was a lady.
In
the article it says "In recent years, China has faced a string of
sometimes deadly attacks on schoolchildren," This means schoolchildren
from China have already been encountered before with deadly attacks. It
says that the people that do these attacks use kitchen knives because
guns are illeagal in China. In the article it also says " a mentally-ill
man in December went on a stabbing spree outside of a school in Henan
province, injuring 23 students and one adult."
If I
had a son/daughter living in China I would not let them go to school. I
would try to move out of China. China's government need to do something
about the killing sprees and figure out why this is happening. I
wouldn't let students or schoolchildren go to school because of the
crazy people going on killing sprees.
If
these killing sprees happend in Philadelphia, parents wouldn't even let
their kids outside. I think it would be worst over here becuase their
is no gun law. I also think it would be stopped because of our
government and police. The crazy people in China have to be stopped

Korean War
This article "Korean War 2?" by Choe Sang-Hun in Seoul is about how the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is trying to send missiles to the U.S. It talks about North and South Korea past, and about them now.
In the article it says that Donald Gregg a former U.S. ambassador to South Korea say "'The Korean peninsula is heading into a difficult and very dangerous period' This means if the North Korea do Send a bomb over to the U.S. it will be bad for them. South Korea is doing better than North Korea. South Korea has a large population, more money, better economy, and a better democracy.
I think that Kim Jong Un won't start a war. He knows that he will lose if he do. He does spend most of his money on his military, but i think they will lose. I think so because Kim's army in not wealthy. In the article it says that millions of people starved. So that tells me they have no money.
He don't want to start a war with the U.S. It could lead to something he will regret. He have no power what so ever.

Raise in Minimum Wage
In the article "Time For A Raise" by Patricia Smith is about how President Obama is trying to raise minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $9.00 an hour. He wants to because prices are going up everywhere for everything and these people need more money to afford these high prices.
In the article people President Obama say "the differences between groceries or the food bank, rent or eviction scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it would mean customers with more money in their pockets." This means that this could be better for people to live their life a little better from this raise. Other people say that making workers cost more will lead to unemployment.
I think that it would be a good idea. I think so because it would put more money in peoples pockets. It will help them pay for things they need. I also think it would be a bad idea. I think so because people might get laid off because store owners might not be able to afford them. If the store owner push up their salary other workers might want their salary raised. Then if they don't get a raise they will probably quit.
I don't have a job yet, but if i did i would be a little bit happier to make 9 dollars an hour from 7.25 dollars an hour. That more money in your pockets. It could be a good thing for someone 16-25 years old with no kids or girlfriend/boyfriend. I think so because you don't have to worry about caring about anyone. You can buy your own stuff. You can provide for yourself.

I picked these articles because it shows how these basketball players are clutch. They can do big things while their playing the game they love. They can make shots to win games. They can get double-doubles. My poem say about the articles that these players are very good, and some of them are the best in the NBA. I think making a found poem can be fun and creative. You're using other peoples word and turn them into a creative poem about what ever you want. Making a found poem to me was very easy. I do think creating a found poem was worth it. It's fun, you can be creative. You can talk about anything.

Slaughter of the Elphants
The article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels is about how hunters are killing lots of elephants in Africa for ivory. It talks about how elephants are dying and what can people do to prevent elephants from dying.
In the article it says that the hunters/poachers are killing the elephants to use their tusk for ivory, so that the people in Africa can sell it to the people in China for money or something in return. In the articles it says that 62 percent of elephants went extinct from central Africa between 2002 through 2011.
I think that they should stop killing elephants. Killing these elephants is like killing them selves, because elephants play a big part in nature. The help with giving the world fresh air, and without fresh air we can't breath. Over in Africa it's hot. I think being hot and have no air couldn't be good mixture of any sort. I think what these Africans are doing to these elephants will hurt, not only Africa but the whole world, in the long run.
This article makes me think that some people don't care about what is happening over in Africa. That China and other countries on the Far East don't care about the elephants as long as they're getting their ivory. I notice that some people care because their is an article about it. This needs to stop. When they are killing these elephants they are killing nature, and by that they are killing other spices.

Lakers 8th Seed
The article "NBA Playoffs 2013: Lakers Take Over 8th Seed, Why They Will Make Postseason" by Frankie Garcia is about how the Los Angeles Lakers took the number 8 seed in the NBA playoffs from the Utah Jazz.
In the article it talks about how the Lakers will be in a better position than the Jazz. In the article it say "the Lakers are just a game behind the Rockets and two games behind the struggling Warriors". This means that the Lakers can become the 6th seed before the playoffs.
I think the Lakers will make it to the playoffs. I think so because the Lakers is on a hot win streak and from the looks of it they can become the 6th seed. Utah wont make it. There next 4 games are against, Memphis Grizzlies, New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs.
Kobe is hurt now will he come back? Will his injury change the way the Lakers play or will it encourage the Lakers to even play harder? If he do come back will he play different because of his injury? Do the Lakers need Kobe to win games?

Women Join the Army
The article "Sisters In Arms" by James Dao is about women joining the army. Some people disagree with this and some think is good to finally have women in combat.
In the article it talks about how women went to the army but not to fight, to help or works as medics and other jobs. In the article it says that people questioned if women will be able to do the physical stuff the men can do such as, "wearing heavy armor and carrying packs that can weigh 100 pounds". The article also says that what if women choke when it come down to shooting/killing someone.
I don't think that women wont choke when it comes down to shooting/killing someone, because the women know what they singed for. They know they have to kill. I think that women is ready for the physical challenges. It would be a good thing to have women fight with the men.
My step dad was in the army before. Back then women wasn't allowed to fight with the men. So this is a major change in the U.S. I have thoughts of going to the army. I think it would be good experience to fight with women. Hear what they would have to say about ideas in combat. Like a woman's view of things.
