Money

"Money is the root of all evil" We've all heard it before but to me money is nutrient to putting food on the table, a roof over your/family's head,and clothes on the table. "The more money the more problems". That saying however, I can't say I can agree or diagree but when you have money waht problems come besides taxes? So unforturnately money does make the world go round, Three and Four times!

School

School is not my favorite subject,activity,thing to do,etc. Its not hard because you do nothing but its fun because its where you get run your mouth even though they try to stop us and they fail, hang out, and act a fool. So school to me is lame and fun at the same time.

Songs that Celebrate

1. The praise songs of the people to the gods usually describe the deeds and the qualities that the gods possess. The songs are to praise them but also have critism in them, this is way the gods know to live up to their responsibilites. Also the songs in some ways are plees to help them.

2. The tone of the speakers are very pleased. Very knowing the person or god they're praising. They adore, admire, and respect this person or god.

3. Oshun(river goddess) was most appealing to me. First of all she's a woman, a chief, she cures,very wise, helpful to the people by ways of her medicine being free, and she turns blood into children. I don't know her but I gained respect for her.

Pro-choice

I agree that there are other options beside abortion like adoption, but its like when you have a baby, giving your baby up to someone else is just hard if not harder than having a abortion. Even though when you give your baby up for adoption your giving him/her a chance to live, or even better live a better life than you could give. So I do agree with pro-choice and the the other options.

Mandela and Pericles

1. "So and such they were, these men-worthy of their city. We who remain behind may be hope to be spared their fate, but must resolveto keeep the same daring spirit against the foe."
" Today's occassion speaks of our resolve to preserve the memories of our heros and heroines; to keep alive the flame of pariotism which burnt in the hearts and minds of those like Steve Biko."
Biko and the soliders both had to keep their spirits up and fight for those they loved and what they believed in, that's what they have in common.
2. Biko was a dreat example of a hero that fought to keep South Africa a properous nation, which was Mandela's hope to accomplish for his country: Forging a new and properous nation.
