In the article Officials: Bomb suspects appears driven by faith by DAVID CRARY talks about the boston bombing. The article talks about how one of the brothers are dead and how the other brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charge in his hospital room. The article also talks about how their Islam religious had movited them to set the bombs.
For example the article had stated, "The two brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon appear to have been motivated by their religious faith but do not seem connected to any Muslim terrorist groups, U.S. officials said." Another example from the article stated, "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was charged in his hospital room with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill. He was accused of joining with his older brother, Tamerlan - now dead - in setting off the pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 200 a week ago." Another example from the article that was stated, "The criminal complaint containing the charges against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shed no light on the motive.The charges carry the death penalty or up to life in prison." My last example from the article had stated, "The Massachusetts college student was listed in serious but stable condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries. His 26-year-old brother died last week in a fierce gunbattle with police."
I think that the court system need to just send the teen to the death penalty because him and his brother killed people that wasnt doing anything, they killed a harmless child that was getting ice cream. I think they need to get the death penalty because they knew what they was trying to do, they looked up all the things they need to do to make their bombs, they had a plan at which event they was going to set the bombs off at. These brother sound like terrorist to me. These brothers really is sad because they said they acted on their actions because of religious reason and I know when they prayed to Allah I know he didnt say kill a bunch of people at a marathon. So I know they just did it because some of the people at the marathon didnt believe in Islam, so they decided to just kill them.
This article reminds me of the time when the 911 happened. The whole world was hurt by that situation and for these two brothers to try and do the same thing, I find that its very mean and devilish thing to do. but this make me think how evil and patheic some of the people in this world is. This make me think of morals people dont have. This make me think of how people can just kill others for any reason and walk around not caring about what they just did. This WORLD is sick and twisted. This also make me question people values. I also think about how powerful religious truly is.

In the article Korean War Part 2? by Choe Sang-Hun In Seoul talks about how the North Korea and South Korean might have another war because the North Korea president has been sending threating messages to south korea.
For example the article had stated, "But recent actions by North Korea and its young, unpredictable leader, Kim Jong Un, have raised the treat of a military confrontation. Last month, the North declared the armistice that ended the war and has largely kept the peace for the last 60 years "nullifed." and it threatened to launch a "pre- emptive nuclear strike" aganist South Korea and the United States." Another example from the articlke had stated, "Conditions within North Korea have sharply deteriorate in recent years. The economy is in shambles: Three-quarters of its factories sit idle." My last example from the article had stated, "In February, it conducted a third nuclear test against the wishes of its only major ally, China."
I think this man Kim Jong Un, is trying to make his prove something to his people by threating the U.S. I think he should stop with his threats because one down he is going to say the wrong words or hit one of the countries withe them nuclear bombs he keep testing and he is going to break out a war he didnt want to start. I also think what he is doing is wrong because South Korea and no other state is doing anything to harm his people or country so I think he should just clam down and be peaceful like the other countries are. I think Kim jong isnt a good leader because a good leader would want peace and make allies but he want war for no reason at all.
This article help me think me about this world and what things it went though and still is going though today in time. I notice that times havent change so much since back when. I also notice that people and leaders is always for them selfs and nolt really for their citizens. But I never knew that korea had a north and south that was called its own state. This remind me of when slavery was in and how the north was fighting the south because the south wanted to still own slave but the north didnt want slavery and more. but with korea it was just the wanted to run the south and the people in the south wanted their own freedom and government. This article also reminds me of how controling this world is and have people is greedy for land, money and anything else that is valueable.

Time For A Raise?
In the article "Time For A Raise" by Patricia Smith talks about how President Obama is trying to get minimum wage to go up from $7.25 to $9.00 per hour. But some people are against it because if they have to pay empolyers more money they would have to fire some of their help.
In the article it had stated, "Obama wants congress to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour from $7.25, which would be the first increase since 2009." Another quote that were opposition. Many companies that hire low-wage workers have opposed raising the minimum wage because it increases their cost of doing business and, they say, makes them less able to hire new workers or give current employees raises." My last example from the passage that was stated, "Business owner say that rasing the minimum wage also exerts upward pressure on other wages."
I think that obama is right about people are not going to be able to survive on a income of 7 dollars an hour because price keep going up on everything. I also think that the raise would be a big help towards families and also towards stores. I think if people make more money they can spent more money at stores buying things instead of hardly having money to buy some food for the children at the end of the day. I also disagree because business wouldnt be able to keep all their workers and it would be alot of people that would help to run their households. I also disagree because I wouldnt be able to get a summer job no more because no business would be hiring nobody. I think it going to be hard for me to get a job in a later on in the future if the business wind up having to pay workers more money. I think it going to also affect the way I pay for collage. I think I would have a hard time because I would have to take care of myself and I also think Im going to be straggling and imma be in in debt.
This reminds me of a time when my mom had a hard time taking care of me and my brother because she wasnt making enough money because she was a young teen mother and she also had bills and children to take care of. She was staggling because she needed more money but she couldnt get a better job because she only had a high school ecducation. But now in time she has a job that pays a little bit better but she is still making minimum wage. So I feel if obama raise the minimum wage to the 9 dollars to start with I think she would be straggling as much no more and she will have a more relaxing life.

I Want My Rights
A lot of times when you're black and gay, you don't know whether the discrimination is due to your blackness or your gayness.
Discrimination is discrimination.
We're not talking about behavior; we're talking about status.
He has lived a gay life.
Now 43, he recalls moments.
Moments when he hid his homosexuality.
He could conceal his homosexuality.
He could not conceal his race.
Mr. Prince, who lives in Manhattan, is black.
But like many other blacks, he is angry that leaders of the gay rights movement and some prominent blacks draw parallels between the civil rights struggle of the 60's and homosexuals' fight now for legal and social equality.
I just want freedom.
Freedom so I can be a homosexuality and not be discriminated.
I want to be free.
I want my rights, my right to be gay, even if I have to fight.

http://www.nytimes.com/1993/06/28/us/blacks-rejecting-gay-rights-as-a-battle-equal-to-theirs.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm
The way I picked my poem was that I had went on NewYorkTimes website and I had searched the topic black people rights. Then that when I had went through all the articles, until I had came aross the one I did my poem for. I composed my poem from this article because this poem was talking about how African-American is discriminating their own race because of homosexuality and it also talks about how gay's want their equal rights like everyone else. My poem say that this guy is fighting for his rights as a homosexual but people keep comparing homosexual right movement with a civil right movement. But all he want is to be free and have his rights as a gay male. My poem make a point of being gay people are going to judge and be against "gayness". It was hard to make a found poem because you have to have the right article with the right words that you can use. the way I went about my poem was I just used the words I had and re-arranged them and I had used some lines straight from out the poem. I think making my found poem was worth it because I had a chance to try something new and also because I need my grade for it.
