Osama Bin Laden


Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden?
Jordan Hollins

I think the filmmakers point was trying to send you on a journey, and showing you what the United States government wont show you. He went on a very dangerous “vacation” to pleas us the American people and shows us that the people on the other side of the world are just like us. With laughter and emotions, just have a horrible government that is corrupt but other then that just perfect.

            I think his methods were very well used and had a great impact in the movie. The story of his child and wife always had people thinking “is he going to get back in time to see his child get born?” and the humor in it kept me in tune with the story and kept me laughing.

            That you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, even if they look like a tartest, talk like tersest, and have a suit case that might contain something that could blow the world up the might not be, and that’s why you socialize with people. Well not to see if they’re someone of al-Qaeda but whatever you know what I mean.

            No! Intended of doing whatever the teachers wanted me to do and try to get a passing grade, but after I started to do more and more work on it, it got very interested in the project and I got into the story.

Adultism

One time I was trying to help and old lady, while she insisted that I should and that she could do it. She was trying to take a lot of bags to her car and refused to use a buggy as I told her why I should help her she feel then didn't even want me to help her up. Finally another woman came over and helped her up and told her I should help before someone gets hurt. The old lady told the woman that I was to skinny to carry this many bags and that she didn't want me to steal anything finally she let me take them to the car said thank you and went off.

9/11 Jordan Hollins

All i remember about one of the biggest tragedy's in American history is hearing about every where i went, and looking on TV and that's all i saw. My parents looked depressed, but since i was so young i thought they just got in another fight, but now that i realize what happened i see why it was all over the world. 

I remember the talk of Family members that died in the attack. Seeing people fall out of buildings because it was slanted, seeing exploded heads and what not on the ground surround in blood, the blood of hard working people who didn't deserve to die but because of ignorance by HUMAN BEINGS they are only in our memories. These images came from the news updates everyday, and pictures.

I don't know anything about the cause and consequences or i just don't understand the question but never the less I'm ready and existed to do this project and do it to the best of my abilities. 

Always will be loved- 9/11

SUPER BOWL

The most memorable Super bowl is the one in 2009, when the settlers took it all with a last sec catch in bounds by a great wide out. Right after his Big speech about the problems to look in the feature about, Obama talked a little trash to the packers:

“I’m glad to see that one of the greatest rivalries in sports is still there,” Obama said.   “And we will get you next year. I’m just letting you know.”
(Insert angry “he SHOULD be worried about unemployment NOT sports” These are what people had to say about this. "Because it’s terrible to have another President that’s a huge sports fan." awful.)
The Governor of Wisconsin greeted Obama with a jersey signed by Charles Woodson, and he said, “See you at the White House . . . Go Packers!”
Last year’s Defensive Player of the Year talked about trying to win over Obama.
“I voted for him. Why isn’t he a Green Bay fan? I jumped on his bandwagon. I’m a voter, a taxpayer. It’s not fair to me.”
So easily from what the packers are saying, they are going to be ready to kick some Pittsburgh...... in the super bowl. So be ready for this years Super bowl its gonna be a great one. BOOOOOOO PACKERSS
FALCONS FOR LIFE

The dangers of a rising China


In many ways China has made efforts to try to get a perfect world in their eyes world. It has repeatedly promised that it means only peace. It has spent much much much money on aid and investment. Its neighbours took action in UN peacekeeping forces and international organisations.But reasonable China sometimes gives way to aggressive China. In March, when the North sank a South Korean warship killing 46 of the warships sailors China failed to provide any help. A few months later fisherman go angry with each other, from japan and china, but arrested for ramming Japanese coastguard. 

Duke
"He'll be like, 'Get out of the way, I've got it,'" Smith said. "You don't really hear that too often, when a freshman will tell two seniors on the wings to get out of the way. We have no problem letting him do it."
well now we see why. As Irving scored a season-high of 31 points and made #1 Duke past #6 Michigan State 84-79 on Wednesday night in the matchup of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. (BTW more Big 10 teams won and beat more ACC teams.)
