Presentations

My favorite presentation was Melissa's not because I am friends with her but because hers had a purpose. Melissa's presentation was about the government not giving cancer organizations enough money to help find a cure faster. I also did not know that the government was not giving cancer organizations. Melissa's presentation was interesting also because she knew a lot about cancer and organizations.

One Child Rule

The One Child Rule is a law that was passed to help decrease the population in China. I think that the law is not worth having because the Chinese are killing and ruining children’s lives. If the population is too high in China they should say not to have three or four children. If the parents do have more children they should not have to get rid of the child because it is already alive. If the parents put the child in the orphanage then the orphanages will get to full. If the orphanages get to full then the Chinese people will have to pay more taxes so someone else can take care of all of the children. I do not like the One Child Rule and I do not believe that killing children is worth lowering your population.

One Child Rule

My topic is one child policy in China. The reason China has this policy is because their population is too big. The one child rule helps decrease the population by only letting the citizens have one child if they have more than one kid they have to pay a fine. If you have a kid with a mental disability or something is wrong with the kid, or if you have a girl you can fill out forms to let you have a second kid. This policy only is followed through by specific cities. The country part of China does not have this rule. The people in the country are allowed to have as many kids as they want so they end up having five to eight kids. If you ask me I think they should change that to three or four kids other than some people having only one. My opinion on this topic is I do not support this decision because whose right is it to say that they can only have one child, and if they have more than one kid they have to pay a fine. I also do not like the fact that girls do not count as a kid. Since this policy has been in place there has been more abortions than there has ever been. But the policy has brought the population down by 1.3 million people.

Dear John

Most books and movies and even choices in our life are based off the book Romeo and Juliet. I am reading the book Dear John and it is a lot like the book Romeo and Juliet. Because in both books the character are both head over heels for each other and they can’t stand to be away from each other. There choices in their lives bring them closer or farther away from each other. In the book Romeo & Juliet when Romeo kills Tybalt he has to make the choice to leave the city and never see Juliet again or face the consequences of getting in trouble for seeing her again. Even most Disney movies have the same plot line as Romeo and Juliet. The two characters meet, fall in love and they have to make choices that ruin their future but in the end they realize that they need each other.
