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.
