Rough draft

     You may have heard of the drug Marijuana, the cash crop, the most used drug in the whole country. Others call it weed and others call it pot. The so called gateway drug is consumed by millions and yet it’s illegal, but what if it wasn’t?  Legalizing marijuana is a controversial topic all over the world. The topic is literally spoken about everywhere, you name it. It’s on the television, the internet, blogs, and even newspapers, but is this changing what people think about the class one drug so called weed? The fact that marijuana is illegal in most of the states makes the so called cash crop a rude awakening for some teenagers parents. Many people all over the world are trying to prove that this illegal plant is not harmful rather helpful to the human health. This may sound crazy, but what people have been saying about weed might have been a lie the whole time.  Some people find it hard to believe legalizing marijuana would help the county because of it bad image it has in our society. I think if marijuana is legalized it would change the world.

There are 18 states that marijuana is legal and the tax revenue that some of these states are receiving are large. How has marijuana help these states financial wise? Let’s look at Arizona for example the Attorney general tom home has taxed medical marijuana with every purchase. That tax rate goes for 6.6 percent. This could mean an estimate of 40 million dollars in tax revenue according to” state to benefit from taxation of medical ‘pot’. “Jan 29.2011:n.pag.print. Not only does this take help the state with their money, it’s a debt free society. This is very helpful due to our enormous national debt and I believe that if the cash crop is legal in a federal and national way, it will not a chunk off.  I can add in to this by saying that if we were to legalize pot in the U.S. then teens wouldn’t try to get a hold of it and try to sell it. If we think about this in a conceptual analysis way, meaning critical thinking, we can conclude that once marijuana is legal, there will be no need for the teens of trying to sell it. It will be knocked right off the black market because they will be no need to go out and find it illegally. Conflicts will lessen and it would be safer for the teens and I guarantee that some parents would like that.

Ok so in society Marijuana has a bad reputation of killing brain cells, causing mental illness, being highly addictive, being more damaging than tobacco and ultimately is a gateway drug. None of these common ideas about the drug have yet been proven, and some have even been proven false Fischer, Chealsey . "Myths Lead To Marijuana's Bad Reputation." 420 Magazine News Team : 1. Print. I am going to compare the products that people use on a daily base or every once I awhile to marijuana to show what really is damaging. Tobacco cause numerous cancer and leads to death. Why would something that kills you be legal in the market? People’s families are destroyed because of tobacco. It just simply isn’t healthy at all for you. Now alcohol is bad for you as well. People die from drinking too much of it and when they get behind the wheel it is even worse. This effects the liver in many ways that people don’t even realize. Why does our government promote these products knowing that it kills us?

Marijuana use has positive attributes, such as its medical values and use as a recreational drug with relatively mild side effects. Autism for example is a very serious condition that kids have. Heartbroken and desperate, an Oregon family has turned to medical marijuana to help manage their son's self-destructive rages. They say the treatment, which has sparked controversy, has helped their child, described as "severely autistic," like nothing else has)." The Huffington Post. TheHuffingtonPost.com, 31 Jan. 2013. Web. 21 May 2014.. This medical marijuana changed their whole image of the drug and now use it for son. Being happy is what matters in this life not feeling miserable. The natural plant has helped this family a lot and they always had have a bad image towards it.  Marijuana also has an effect on one of the worse diseases out there cancer. A scientist in the United Kingdom has found that compounds derived from marijuana can kill cancerous cells found in people with leukemia. People are finding more and more good things that marijuana helps. The Institute for the Study of Labor released a large study in January 2012 that showed a 5% drop in suicide rates in US states that had legalized medical marijuana. Meanwhile, states that had kept it criminalized saw suicides rates climb. Sick, disabled, and depressed people suddenly having legal access to something that takes their pain away and makes them feel good, and not killing themselves as a result, is something too awesome to ignore.

I have come to a conclusion that marijuana isnt bad for you. Something is just telling me that our government just doesn’t want it to be legalized because of our health. The substances that are legal are the ones that kill us and hurt us. There are so many un answered questions about marijuana that scientist are dying to answer, but can’t because simply its illegal. Just look at the facts! The most important one is it has an annual death rate of zero. People are just getting brained washed through the media that is controlled by the government about the drug. It helps our health.

rough draft the fault in our stars

. In the Julius Caesar play there is a victorious triumphant soldier that has the power to become emperor named Caesar. People are jealous and try to do things about it so Caesar doesn't become emperor. He ends up dying and the senators who killed Caesar thought they were satisfied, but they were not. they end up killing themselves at the end of the play due to the problems after they killed Caesar.  In the book ''The Fault In Our stars'' I feel like hazel wants to go to Amsterdam and she ends up going. you have to play close attention on how much she wanted to go. the feeling she feels about going plays a huge role in the meaning of the quote. and a it means that we always want things, but when these things we want happen we are not satisfied by them. We want them 'done better and again.

Douglas is the best

when I receive the ball I prepare for my  next

 move as I and only i, can take anyone. 

I laugh when the opponent falls and I pass 

by like Bolt. My moves are so profound that they can not

be imitated by any player on the field. The feeling of 

me and just me running through the midfield is so amazing. 

It's comparable to a bull running through a 

flak of new born chickens. The opponent 

utters in shame as they see me destroy there team 

which ,frankly, I do not care about. while my amazing skill

does not impress my team because they are used to my glorious 

gift, they take naps on the defensive end. I take my 

position as I look at the keepers eyes. I can see 

he is weak and I take advantage. The shot of a great player moves 

straight towards its target, but the shot of the best player can move.

My shot was indeed the best of them all. I am the best.     

Webquest: Salem Witch Trials

1. At first I was a little startled to read about this location. So much darkness and lies that the community of Salem  had. everyone seemed to know what was going on, but didn't want to speak. I, in that case, felt scared of the act of witchcraft. The thought of being involved in the acts and duties of Satan just isn't a normal thing to do. A few weeks before the incident I felt angry and would let that anger out on the merchants. I was low in my mind, so I tried to turn to God, but the thought of God lightly faded away. this is where I made the biggest mistake of my life. I ended up stabbing someone by letting Satan control me.

2. The difference in The Crucible is that the two main characters are Mr. Proctor and Mrs. Proctor. In the witch trials it involves 25 people.

3. Caporael's theory is why the the Salem trials took place. The theory makes a really good argument and makes sense. Before the Salem trials the had incidents going on. people where poisoning each other. this led to horrible hangings and unexplained death. It did something to there minds.

4. The similarities of the McCarthyism and the Salem witch trials are that the public had a  pressured a lot of the people and a unjust accusation. In millers decription the people on the spotlight where pressured hard by the public. during the McCarthyism trial, people would blame others, to take of pressure they had off of themselves. 

5 In the "red scare" people didn't know what was the reason of those unexplained incidents. they would put the blame on people to make it  believable and to actually record them to close a particular file. 

6. during each of the events, their was a great hysteria that rose from problems in the society. In the '' human rights '' article and in the Salem witch trials along with the  holocaust, many people died from being afraid of ''something''; however, in the red scare and the internment of the Japanese camps, people were not killed and stood up for there rights for the citizens. 

 7  George Santayana quote defined if we cannot learn from the mistakes in the Salem witch trial then eventually there will be more cases but in different occasions and forms. learning from history gives us the knowledge to understand the mistakes that happened in the passed. We can look back to study and figure out ways to prevent similar occasions. I thinks its a pretty successful because it gives the readers accurate  knowledge about the bad incidents in the 1600s 
   

8 I think the holocaust is a perfect example because Hitler needed someone to blame about the Germans financial crisis. In this case the Jews were the one to blame.

9. I find it interesting that the cases in the 1600s where and could be corrupted and people really could not do anything about it.   

Sinners in the hands of an angry god

1) Edward is trying to persuade the audience to act in a more holy manner and less sinful actions.

2) Edwards purpose of natural men is the the typical man back in that time period, that believe in God yet still sins.

3)In the first paragraph Edwards use of "abate" is to define his purpose of saying everybody is born a sinner.

4) This use of repetition is to make a point a stronger way. This repetition is very effective in his oral speech, because he uses a lot of exaggerated imagery.

5) They use appositives to create vivid imagery.

6) The purpose is to create a more emotional impact on the audience, to try to persuade the audiences answer.

7) He uses not willingly in every sentence to exaggerate his point. he uses the semicolons to emphasize each point of the statements.

8) Gods wrath is always ready for a person who sins. In this text the use of imagery is used to help understatement the power of god.

9) In the text Edwards says that God is holding us over a fiery pit and if we sin he will drop us in it. Edwards tells his audience we need to be better followers of God.

10) Edwards uses ethos to pathos. He uses more emotion in his sermons to his audience rather than logos. His visions of god are very different from today and may seem illogical to use but may be logical to them.

11). The tone stays the same throughout the speech. We the people aren't worthy of being on earth and we are basically gods toys to play with. He keeps the tone of us on the verge of death. He claims that we are hanging over a fiery pit and one wrong move will send us to hell this idea of a horrible death also remains throughout the sermon.

12)When Edwards says he wants to be "heard" instead of "read", he means he wants the people that are reading his stories to fully understand them and are able comprehend it.

13. His text is persuasive by giving dark scary details and visions of horror if they don't live by gods ways. This makes the audience fear their life on a constant basis and engulf themselves into the sermon.

14) The people who fainted were so surprised at what he had to say about their faith and what would happen to you if you sinned.

The Navajo Origin Legend

 

1. I would use the words sacred and unique to describe my impression on this short story. I've never heard of this tribe, but what they are doing seems very interesting to me. Creating the first Navajo man and women out of simple objects is very hard to believe, but that's how faith is.

6. 

Symbolism in The Yellow Wallpaper.

In the yellow wallpaper, several symbols are used to show the oppression of women by men and the struggle against that male dominated society. While many symbols could be seen from the text to support this, there are three predominant symbols throughout the story that lend credence to the woman's suffrage theme. The yellow wall-paper itself is symbolic of the law that men attempted to place on women during the 1800s. The color yellow is often referred  with sickness or weakness, and the writer's mysterious  is a symbol of man's opinion  of women. The two windows from which the writer often peers out of, observing the world but apart from it, is representative of the possibilities of women if seen as equals by the opposite gender.
The yellow wall-paper, of which the writer declares, "I never saw a worse paper in my life," is a symbol of the hate  that men attempted to enforce upon women . Gilman writes, "The color is hideous enough, and unreliable enough, and angry enough, but the pattern is torturing"  this is a symbolic metaphor for restrictions placed on women. The author is saying subliminally that the denial of equality for women by men is a "nasty" act, and that when men do seem to reward women some measure of that equality, it is often "unreliable." The use of the words "infuriating" and "torturing" are also descriptions of the feelings of women in 19th century society. Here Gilman gives her personal opinion, saying that if women are given the same rights as men that women society would do it better.
