Ewww Trash!!

http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33226604/ns/us_news-weird_news/"Body buried under 8 feet of trash in home."By Associated Press. How bad trash really is, is it bad enough to kill? A 71 year old lady was found died in her home under eight feet of trash. The only reason the family noticed she was missing was because they haven’t heard from her. They obviously don’t really check up on her because they would notices that she was literary living in a dump. The story didn’t tell us how she died but some how she ended up under a big pile of trash in her home. How could someone live in trash wouldn’t you get sick your self? How could you let your trash get so bad that you just let it sit on the floor? Eight feet is a lot of trash any where. When I was reading this, what kept running through my mind was, was this lady fat how can you have that much trash? I was curious how long dose it take an average person to create around eight feet tall trash piles. It said that an average person creates 29 pounds of trash per week and 1,600 pounds in a year. I’m not to sure how tall or how to convert pounds in to height, but I’m guessing it took this lady more than a year to have that much trash. That means that the woman had to smell all of those fumes for more than a year. I thought this would be a good thing to write about because a couple weeks ago there was a man living in trash, they arrested him. Somebody called the polices because the stench was so bad, some of the police couldn’t even breath it smelled so bad. I don’t know how the man didn’t get in trouble sooner because he lived in an apartment and you could probably smell that pretty easily. Wouldn’t the people around him smell the disgusting smell of garbage? This led me thinking about obesity. Are we so obese that we don’t even care about garbage we create, just about how good the food is?

Gossip Girl

I read these books religiously. I was in love with these books. Gossip Girl was the name of the series. When I saw the words Gossip Girl no matter what the topic was I was going to write about it. When I read the title I had to read it over and over again. “Gossip Girl among top 10 books eyed for ban.” What did it mean ban, for life, from the public? I read further down the paragraph it said the books were “pornographic, a dangerous depiction of class hatred.” I remember back to reading the books, yes they did have sex in them and every body was out to get everyone else in life but it was a good book to learn from. I taught me that you shouldn’t drink because you probably will get in trouble, and you shouldn’t have sex at a young age or you might run into some problems. I would agree to ban the books from elementary schools but those books should not be there in the first place. I read these books in seventh and eight grade I got the books from the public library are they saying I shouldn’t read them? A friend had recommended then to me so are all those girls not supposed to read them? I wished they had them at our middle school and so did lots of other girls.
This got me thinking if they were going to ban the book what would happen to the TV show? If they are going to take away books which is reading which is good our literacy why would wouldn’t they takeaway the show. Would they rather have us watch the show which they also have sex in and watching TV is not good for you which then could lead to obesity. If they took away Gossip Girl the TV show they would have to take away a lot of other shows too because I have seen way worse. It just makes me wonder if the people who make the banned books list thought of the out come.
