Journal #26 ( Every Flag)

Today's world has become about more of pride and prays, than identification and singling with national and country flags. As said in the article Flag from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I learned that back than, a lot of times during battles and what not. Flags were used for identifying the enemy's and for singling. Yeah maybe we still do that today but I think we are more about the beauty of the flags. And not what it stands for as a flag for whatever reason.

Journal #25 (The Best Thing So Far)

The best thing about this class so far is not having boring things that we have to write about. I feel that for me, starting out in a writing class with a boring topic, or a topic that is really narrowed down were you have to write about a certain thing. Makes me not to write at all, but off the back, in this class we started off writing about a topic that was so brood that you could talk about whatever you wanted within that topic of course. So to me that's pretty much the best thing about this class.

Journal #24 (Life in Prison)

This morning I came across an article about the convictions of one of the killers of the 2005 Subway murder of two teenage boys. This 18 year old boy, how at the time of committing this crime was 16. Was sentence to life in prison with no chance of prole. For me I believe that he desires it as will as the other two guys that were involved in it. It was wrong for what they did, but for what ever reason they decided to do it. It shouldn't have never happened. At least they aren't being let off the heck.

Journal #23 (Close your eyes)

As the days pass we offen forget about the natural beauties in life. We forget to stop and take in the day that we were blessed with once again. We forget to stop and look at the trees, the mountains, the sky, the stars and the natural beauty that's within ourselves.Why not stop and look at what we take advantion of everyday. Why not feel things for what they are meant to be. Why not give yourself the peace of beauty that can only be seized by sight. Why not is the question, the answer is not that we forget, but because we appear to be under a spell that only a few have broughten away from. Close your eyes and there you will find that life is what not you see when they are open but when they are closed.

Journal #22 (The harest thing about this class)

I feel that the hardest thing in this class is remembering and knowing the material we learn in the book. I think it's because its like learning a whole new language. I know these are things that I should have learned in elementary school and high school. But the ones that I attended, teachers were more about having fun, then teaching anything.

Journal #21 (Terrorism drill in the Phoenix area)

Another terrorist attack is one thing that we don't want to experience again. But nevertheless its something that we such be somewhat prepared for. That is why next week Gov. Janet Napolitano has issued a terrorism drill in the Phoenix area. She states that the biggest problem is communication. Which is now the main focus of the drill. I think this drill will be a really good thing for never state to do. It will save lives.

Journal #20 (Plan crash killing 50 people)

An unfortunate plan crash occurred, October 4, 2007 in Kinshasa N'Djili, killing 50 people. The plan had taken off safely, but then during that time a mafuntion happened. Resulting in the plan crashing, first into a market and then coughing on fire. what I don't understand is how is it that more and more plans are crashing. Is it that we are not paying attention to what and how things are being built. Or this is more serious, concluding that we are all in danger of something that is to come. And just don't know it. They say it safer flying then driving, well I guess not so much anymore.

Journal #19 (Still good)

In this course, so far its going really good. I feel that I have been learning a lot in the past weeks. Since the last time I wrote about this course, I've come to a better understanding of using words in sentences, and why there are so many rules in writing. So right now I have no dislike, I like everything about this course. I just hope that things don't get overwhelming in this class.

Journal #18 (A man killed at a bus stop)

A man was hit and killed while sitting at a bus stop. And instead of witnesses helping him, run of with his bags of groceries I don't understand why anyone would now try and him someone that's in desperate need of help. I guess it just one of those things that will never have a really answer to.
