It all adds up: his was New York’s Hottest Summer
ReplyDeleteIn this article it was about New york’s record heat. The average was 77.8 degrees between July and August. The Ice company was selling record amounts of ice. Some people went to desperate measures by putting water bottles strapped onto themselves. I chose this article because it makes me wonder about climate change and how it’s actually happening.
With leadership, miners form a refuge:
Thirty miners were stuck in a mine after it caved in on them. Luckily they were found, but not yet rescued. Governent officials say it could take up to three months to get them out. Until then they just have to stay alive. With more experienced miners who took leadership over the rest are doing there best to keep everyone alive and sane. I chose this article because it is interesting to me and it’s a problem. Although it’s a problem that is actually being solved correctly and carefully. This article was more of a positive article to me knowing everyonwe is still alive and has a good chance of survival.
No longer an eater, still a cook
ReplyDeleteThis article was about 68 year old Mr. Ebert who worked reviewing movies for more than four decades. The thing is, Roger Ebert can’t eat or talk. He was diagnosed with cancer and lost his bottom jaw. Roger, who has to be fed through a tube, still enjoys cooking. He has written a book on it to. I chose this article because it looked interesting. Also it was kind of cool how although Roger can’t eat or talk, he still writes books, cooks, and talks about his fight with cancer. Lastley, I would recommend this article because it is very interesting and inspiring.

1. U.N Documents Told of Rapes in Congo
ReplyDelete2. Well this document was about the U.N receiving calls n stuff about this one place having rapes all over the place. Appearently nearly 200 girls were raped. From July 30 to August 2 nearly 179 were raped by gunmen from another rebel group. Victims would be saying that they were assaulted in front of there families with up to 6 men raping them at the same time. Im not sure if I read wrong but it says the U.N doesn’t know what to do about this issue.
3. I choose this article because it really was kinda surrising that something like this would happen.
4. Umm I guess I would because if it grabs my attention im pretty sure itll grab there attention as well and plus itll let them know whats going on the other side of the world.
1. East Coast Is Told to Brace for Hurricane
2. This article was about a Hurricane named Earl becoming a category 4 which is pretty big. They said it wasn’t gonna be that big but they thought wrong. Soo its heading towards the east coast.
3. I choose it because when I saw the picture of the hurricane and I saw it was right next to Puerto Rico and I have family over there.
4. I mean it wasn’t that big soo I guess I wouldn’t recommend it because im guessing it wouldn’t grab the persons attention.
1) U.N. Documents Told of Rapes in Congo
ReplyDelete2) The U.N. had been getting threats about the F.D.L.R raping women all over the Congo. The F.D.L.R is a 'rebel' group of Rwandans that also participated in genocide.
3) I chose this article because rape is a serious thing to happen to anyone, not only does it affect you, but everyone around you too. It’s a horrible thing
4) I would recommend that my class mates read this article because there were a lot of people who were hurt in the process of this happening. Also the U.N. had been getting warnings for a while about this stuff starting to happen but no one believed them so they just went on with their lives, and having the U.N just kind of sit there and watch it happen, when they know something should be done about it.
1) Poison gas used to sicken schoolgirls; Afghans say This article is on how schoolgirls in Afghanistan have been getting sick. 45 girls and 4 teachers have been taken to hospitals because they were feeling dizzy; they were getting headaches and sore throats then girls began fainting. Soon they figured out over 2 years of sick girls it has shown it was caused by poison gas. This was confirmed from blood tests. I thought this was interesting because you normally don’t hear about girls and teachers getting sick from poisonous gases. I would recommend reading it because it is just really random how girls were getting sick, I guess it’s just an article that you can’t relate to but it’s just interesting to read.
ReplyDelete2) Troubles at an Afghan bank jolt a fragile financial system
Kabul bank’s loses $300 million and the Afghan government is troubling with their banks that sent fear that Afghanistan financial system. The system was already fragile because in 2001 the system had been rebuilt.
It was interesting to me because it feels like the whole world is having financial problems.
I would recommend reading this because it’s interesting to hear other countries that have other problems besides us.
With Life Skills and Leadership Trapped miners Forge a Refuge

They have already been down there for seven teen days and they think it will be three to four months before they are out and safe.

I read “With life skills and leadership, Trapped Miners Forge a Refuge”. It’s about the miners who were caved in a San Jose mine not too long ago; they were thought to be hopefully lost but now they are found but there is one problem… They are stuck down there. There is a system of “hierarchy” down there, the three leaders of the 33 men trapped consist of Mario Gomez, who is convincing the miners to turn to God in their times of hardships, Luis Urzua who is a shift leader, and finally Yonnie Barrios who is a medical monitor of the group. Scientists up top worry about the miner’s physiology, and some officials are figuring out ways to get them out of the mine that they have been trapped in.
ReplyDeleteI chose this article because of the leadership that the group of miners have formed a society down there. They work different shifts to get themselves out and they communicate with the outside world for supplies that they may need in their times of hardship. I highly recommend this article to my classmates for reasons that I just explained.
I also read “Obama declares an end to Iraq combat mission”. On Tuesday president Barack Obama ended a 7-year American combat mission in Iraq. The reason for this is because president Obama saw that it was time to press on to problems that we have here at home, the united states of America. President Obama spoke with former president George W. Bush, and while they disagree on their opinions of Iraq, they both support their troops.
I read this article because in my opinion, president Obama is making the right choice of ending this combat mission before more fighting breaks loose. I highly recommend this article to my fellow students.

ReplyDelete2) In Chile 33 miners are trapped underground in a collapsed mine. Using all their combined survival skills they have set up an underground refuge. These 33 miners are likely to be stuck underground for 3-4 months while rescuers drill towards them. The miners are doing very well in this dire situation.
3) I chose this article because it amazed me that they kept their sanity.
4) I recommend this article because it shows people how to keep hope up in these terrible conditions.
1) Obama Declares an End to Combat Mission in Iraq

The remaining troops will be home by the end of 2011.
