In the article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" by Samanta Strindberg and Fiona Maisels talks about how elephants are getting treated bad and getting killed because people are selling their tasks for money. The article also stated that the elephants are starting to decreasing.
In the article had stated, "A staggering 62 percent vanished from central African african between 2002 and 2011 , according to a study we have just published with 60 other scientists in the journal PL0S one. It was the largest such study ever conducted in the central African forests, where elephants are being poached out of existence for their ivory." Another example from the article was, "An animal elephant's tusks have become bling for consumers who have no idea or simply don't care that it was obtained by inflicting terror, horrendor pain and death on thinking, feeling, self-aware beings. My last exmaple from the passage is, "We protect those in harm's way . We need to show this compassion to forest elephants, giving them space to roam and protection danger."
I think that these people who is killing these elephants need to stop because the elephants are decreasing. I also think its wrong for these people to kill the elephants for their task but then again I know they need the money to take care of their families. I think if they need money that bad I'm sure they can make it some other way besides killing the elephants or any other animal. I think its really wrong for these hunters to kill these animals because when they are killing them, they are killing one of the baby elephant mom or dad and its sad because that baby depends on their parent. I feel if the situation was the other way around and the animal was the killer and the killer was the animal they would see how wrong and evil it is to just kill for a couple of dollars and the next time they would think twice before they kill another elephant.
As I was sitting here I started to have some questions about this situation thats happening. Will a law be pass after the elephants decrease to a pacific number stating that hunters can no longer hunt them? Do these hunters find what they doing is wrong? Will they ever stop hunting the elephants? What will happen if the hunters kill all the elephants will they be fined?

TRYING TIMES
In the article "TRYING TIMES" talks about how hard it is to get a job without a collage degree and even if you even graduate collage its still hard to get hired. The article also stated that it maybe hard to get hire becuase of the United States is recoverying from the bad economy and it had stated its progress.
For example the article had stated,"The U.S. economy is slowly recovering from the Great Recession. In fact, the youth unemployment rate is far below its peak of 18 percent in 2009. But more than 12 million Americans are still unemployed." Another quote that was stated was, "The difficult job market is coming at a time when paying for a collage degree ." My last quote for the article that was stated, "For those without a collage degree, the situation is even tougher. The youth unemployment rate for high school graduates is almost 19 percent, compared to 8 percent for those with collage degrees.
I think that it is true that its hard trying to get a job in the economy because Im a teenage in the economy that is trying to get a summer job and its hard because business not hiring. Its also hard because Im still in high school and Im under the age 18. Most jobs that is hiring what people that is a high school graduates and people that is 18 and older and it makes me mad because I need a job for the summer so I can having my own money. But in this bad economy I dont think I would be able to find one.
This article reminds me of a times when my cousin was looking for a job and he was getting turned down because he didn't have a collage degree and also because he's not out his GED program yet. But its crazy because he's 19 and he have no crime recorder and also because he dosent do drugs. He kept looking and looking but still no one is trying to hire him. He apply to city jobs because they make a little more money then jobs micky d's and wendy's. But after two years of looking he still doesn't have a job. But he is finish his GED program and he is still job searching in this bad economy.

SISTERS IN WAR
In the article "SISTERS IN WAR" James Dao talks about how the rights for females to join the Army and Navy has expanded. The article also talked about how women rights has expanded over the past years.
In the article it had stated "Military officials say that more than 200,000 jobs could now open to women, including in elite Special Operations commando units like the Navy SEALs and Delta Force." Another example that was stated in the article was that if women wanted to join combat they wasn't going to lower their standards for women to enter but the army has. Th article had stated, "The Army, for example, currently allows women to pass their physical fitness tests with fewer push-ups and a slower two mile run than men." The last example that was stated from the article was, " A nationwide Quinnipiac University poll conducted a year ago found that three quarters of those surveyed favored allowing women to serve in units that engage in close combat."
I think that women deserve the right to join the army and navy because I feels as anything a men can do a female can do even better. I think that these women can handle a family and also be in the serving for our country. I think that the people that think women cant do something like be in the army without lowering the standards for them is very close minded and they are some haters because I'm pretty sure that a women can do a hundreds push-ups better then any men and maybe even faster that any men. I think that women does a better job at serving our country because females are very protects.
This reminds me of a time when my dad thought I couldn't ride a dirtybike because I was a girl and he thought I wouldnt be able to turn the gears because they are very hard to turn without gloves on and also because he thought I cant ride one. But I could and when we all had went out the airport to ride I was the first on the bike and gone. Not only did I know how to ride the dirtbike but I could work the gears better then all the boys out there. But it was the day I proved to my dad and everybody else wrong that I could do something better than them. I also was invited to ride with the boys who had the 4 wheelers out that day. So this shows that female can do want ever they put their mind to.
