Let's see, what's going on in school? Well for one the biggest issue for me is still the rules. I understand the purpose of the Id's. Yet I really don't get why we can't wear colored under-shirts. How racist of them! Just kidding, it really does suck though. We should be able to wear something that lets us express how we feel.
That's not the only issue. We can't even wear backpacks that aren't clear or mesh. It sucks because sometimes, people need to carry personal stuff. I really don't think that they want the whole school to seeing what they bring. So we could at least have regular backpacks. It's really unfair.
Another thing is, we don't have freedom of speech. I really don't like that at all. I should be able to curse at any teacher at anytime. Yet I can't. We should just be able to say anything. That way we would get in less trouble. Of course if it's a threat then a punishment should be required.
It really sucks. The only place we're not allowed to have freedom is school! Now that doesn't make any sense. If we are supposed to have freedom, why is school any different. If I could do anything I would change this problem. This just all does not all make sense. What happened to the freedom?
So hopefully you reason with my opinions. That's what's been going on in Borman. Well at least that's what I'm most concerned about. I bet most students would agree with me. You never know maybe even some teacher might too. Thanks for reading my article.

New sports are starting there seasons. These sports went through a lot of tryouts and people already made the team. The coaches made smart ways for the people to make there teams. These sports are going to have there first game and meet soon. These sports are baseball, softball, and track. To win every game it's going to take hard practice ,and the desire to love the sport.
The methods coaches used to make there teams were very smart. All the people that made the teams should be very proud. In track everybody made the team. They are looking at what the person is good at, if they want to they can compete in it. The softball coach used a similar method.

Everybody tried out, they children went to try outs for a week, and at the end the put the list of the people who made the team.
For these teams to win they don't just have to play by the rules. They have to play with desire. They will also have to try there hardest. What's awesome about this is that they won't quit, because we are to good to quit. This is a competition, we have to beat all the other schools.

This is just like reading movie reviews on a newspaper but the only difference is that kids are the writers, which makes it more interesting.
Penelope
This is a very romantic and funny movie fit for all viewers. The movie I’m speaking about is Penelope. This movie is based on a girl who was cursed with a pig nose and the only way the cursed can be stopped is by finding true love from a prince. At first she's afraid of rejection and runs away from everything but in the end she accepts herself for who she really is. Not only does everyone suggest that it's one of the best but critics have rated it with four stars. The main characters are in this amazing film are Christina Ricci (Penelope), James McAvoy (Max), Catherine O' Hara (Jessica Wilhern), Peter Dinklange (Lemon), Richard E. Grant (Franklin Wilhern), Reese Witherspoon (Annie), Simon Woods (Edward), Ronni Ancona (Wanda), and Lenny Henry (Krull). This modern fairytale is now on theaters for everyone to enjoy.
Awake
If you are someone who loves horror movies Awake is the perfect movie for you. Awake is basically about a patient who has been diagnosed with anesthetic awareness in which he has to take an operation, when the surgeon cuts open his stomach he realizes that the anesthesia wasn’t working and he’s feeling everything but is paralyzed so he can’t do anything about it. After a few minutes he hears the surgeons speaking to themselves and he hears them talking about their attempt to murder him during the operation. Jessica Alba, Hayden Christenson, and Terrence Howard star in this horrifying and thrilling film. Although this is a great movie it is rated R so for all those teens under the ages of seventeen you need a guardian or parent with you when watching Awake. Now that you’ve read about this movie if you’re interested in this movie it’s available on DVD to purchase.
Step Up 2
Step Up 2 is even better than the first and made a great outcome when seen. Step Up 2 is about a street dancer (Andie), who is trying to fit in a new professional dance school and she tries to show what a talented dancer she is but it seems that Andie can’t start a new life all over again. Romance is also a huge element involved in this film which makes it even more interesting to see. Briana Evigan, Robert Hoffman, Will Kemp, Cassie Ventura, Adam G. Sevani, Telisha Shaw star in this upbeat movie. This film also includes a track with many popular songs like Low, Shake Your Pom Pom, Killa, Hypnotized, Is It You, Can't Help But Wait, Church, Ching-A-Ling, Push, 3-6-9, Impossible, Lives In Da Club, Girl You Know, Say Cheese, Let It Go, and Ain't No Stressin’ are included in the movie too. Critics have rated the movie, Step Up 2 with three stars for an overall average. I hope every dance lover is able to enjoy this movie because it’s simply amazing.

Roger Clemens
If you where once a fan of Roger Clemens then you are probably 55 and still living in your mom's basement. The once great pitcher is going up against congress for his steroid use.You think this would be the time for him to step up and say he did take them and that it was his will,but instead he goes on making all these excuses and lies.He needs to grow up and face the music don't believe me I'll show you how he has failed himself with the juice.
Roger Clemens has lied several times during his hearing.He said that he didn't attend the infamous party of Jose Canseco.Yet a man who at the time was 11 took photos of Roger at the party.He has been accused of lying in hearing about taking steroids abuse.He continues to lie about it.His former strength trainer said that he had provided Roger Clemens and former teammate and current friend Andy Pettitte with Steroids. He said that he is a nice man that he is a hero to many kids.If that's true then why did you take the Steroids? Why would you give kids the influence that taking steroids to be the best is right? Or better yet your telling them that doing anything just to be the best is right. That's rude.
To make him look even worse he has turned his attention away from his hearing. He has started to train with the Houston Astros. It seems that he thinks he's in the clear.That he was going to get away with with lying.Not only did he take steroids,but he lied like it was nothing.It seems that he doesn't care that he crushed the dreams of many young fans.He is more concerned to keep cheating then to rebuild his reputation.He needs someone or something to wake him up.Well he got that rude awakening.That's right the FBI is now on the job.They are launching an investigation to see if he lied to congress.His lawyers said that they aren't surprised.
I bet you anything you want that Roger Clemens crapped his pants cause of that.He could do time in jail. Can you imagine the great Roger Clemens doing time in jail for a crime he obviously committed? The government can do something right for once. Athletes wouldn't be getting away with crimes. I doubt that will happen! He should be scared for getting the FBI on his case.Know you would think that Roger Clemens would be really worried.It doesn't appear that he is.He is living his life normally. He is attending training camps and other sporting events.He was one of the greatest players ever. He should be inducted into the hall of fame.I mean they let Barry Bonds in their and he used steroids. Still, it disappoints me to see The cheaters to take it away from the true pros.Hank Arron and Babe Ruth (if he was alive) should be pretty pissed.I say not only should they be banned for life.They should be arrested.

Borman Sports Report
Borman has a lot of exiting sport activities that are going on or they a;ll ready passed. The most known sports are basketball, football, and soccer. Most of the teams went to the championship. Also most of the teams that went to the championship and they got a trophy for 2nd place runner up. Even though none of the teams won the first place, mostly got in second place. There was only two teams that didn't go to the championship, the 8th grade girls volleyball and 6th and 7th grade boys basketball. All the other teams went to the championship. That is why Borman had so many exiting sport activities.
All the teams went somewhere with their season. 8th grade boys basketball team had a great season. They started winning their games and they lost to Estrella then they lost to Desert Sands. From those two loses they began winning again. They beat Estrella and that game was very exiting. Desert Sands beat Borman again. The rest of the games that they had they won. From there they went to the play-offs. They won a very close game. The game was so close Borman won by 1 point. Their next game was wingith the defending champions, Desert Sands. That game was the best game Borman had, with Borman beat the defending champions. Borman hasn't beat Desert Sand in two years. Borman went to the championship game.

People say that Borman has a little curse because none of the teams that went to the championship won the first place. Soccer had a chance to win that number one spot but it slipped away. Their record was also the best in our district. At Borman a new sport is starting that sport is baseball and softball. They will also go all the way and might win the championship.

poems - some serious, some not
"Immigrants"
Crossing from one state to another
Trying and tying to find a better life.
Knowing that if they make it they might be sent back
All they want is to live better
Why cant people accept that?
The word "Immigrants"shouldn't mean a thing
Why do they judge them?They are just human beings
Falling in place
Always there for you
May leave your side one day
Illness and pain they will be there by your side
Loving,caring,it doesn't matter
You will always love them and they will too
"What is love?"
Love is a bond and strong feeling between people
It may go far or it may last little
It all depend about your feelings
It doesn't have to be between you and 1 person
It also is a love between family and friends
You know that if they love you they will ALWAYS be there when you need them
Love is anywhere you just have to know where to find it
Honesty is what everyone has in them
Only people who care about you will be honest with you
Never tell a lie
Everyone has to be honest in order to get respect
Someone may lie to you but if they do you'll know that they are not your true friends
True people will be honest with you
You have to learn between right and wrong
"Beauty in and out"
Look at her standing by herself
I wonder why she is lonely?
She is so beautiful!
Or is it because only my eyes can see her beauty within her soul
Wait i don't even know her
I'm gonna go to talk to her
Yes yes i will
OK I'm going
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm blind
Why couldn't i see it before
She is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life
I can see it in her eyes
She is beautiful in and out!
?Bat-Man or Robbin?
Bat-man is the hero
Robbin is the sidekick
They both fight against evil together
But the big question is who is better?
Bat-man Bat-man tunununununu
Or
Robbin tananananana
The answer is
?????????????
None of the above
They both wear tights
Who wants to have a super hero with tights???

a few poems
by SG
"love"
Love is it in your heart do you have any love for something.
Ordinary people do have love in them
Very little changes there is one who does not have any love at all
Everyone should help these love less people in our world.
"Run away"
A young couple running to see freedom.
Could they make it to that place.
They are hiding there face.
They are face to face to life or death.
People hunting after them.
"Poor him"
Illegal drugs destroying young dreams.
Look at him he is stealing from his grandmother just to get some weed.
Losing respect from everyone no more trust.
He got lost did not know where to go.
Begging for money but he still lives in the street.
"Look at her"
A young girl is called mom at age 14.
Is this even right to be a girl just destroyed her dream.
She flee to be free.
She should of stay in school but now she is begging because she can't have a job.
Her kid was taking away from her they gave it to her parents.
Now she is dieing she has std she was exposed to prostitute.
Dieing alone for her action.
"She can't speak"
Pain is going every where though her body.
She say her dad abusing her mom.
Scared to speak up.
She hides in the corner crying so much.
Her mom and her run away to be free.

an everyday villain
Buses: A use of transportation , but what happens when it can also endanger you life? That's what happened in Gilbert, Arizona to a 15-year-old girl who got in a fist fight with her bus driver. Kim Sullivan ( the bus driver ) stopped the bus when see saw the student talking on the phone. She told the student to find a different way of transportation, when the young girl decided to get off the bus. The bus driver then refused to let her off the bus and physically pushed her.The girl immediately called her mom. That's when the bus driver threw her phone. Everything went down hill after that resulting in a fist fight between Kim and the student and later involved Kim Sullivan's daughter.
Kim Sullivan and the 15-year-old student were both charged with Aggravated Assault and Disorderly Conduct. Kim's daughter and another student were charged with Disorderly Conduct. In my eyes Ms. Sullivan was wrong on her part. She is the villain of this story. Firstly she picked on the she picked personally picked on the student for some unknown reason. I can prove that because on the video there's at least 4 other students using their phones. For her to pick on just the young girl and target the subject only directly to her was immature. Not only did Kim Sullivan make a bad name for herself , she also gave a bad reputation for bus drivers. Parents were less trustful with bus drivers. Kids are even skipping the bus to walk. It's crazy how one person can change the mind of so many. I was even wary about riding the bus. I would hate to be put in that position of the 15-year-old girl. Mostly because she was also charged with Aggravated Assault. All because of a grumpy lady. There is so many different outtakes that could have came out better if Kim Sullivan would have just stopped and thought about what she was doing to this poor young girl
It's dreadful when a teacher personally embarrasses you in front of a crowd, when a bus driver does that it's unbelievable. What cruel person would provoke a fist fight between themselves and and a minor? Many people after hearing this tried to themselves in the students position [including myself]. If a bus driver were to yell at me and refuse to let me off the bus, what would I do? If she then physically push towards my seat and then punch me in the chest, how would I react? If she threw my phone out of the bus, then punch me again , would I fight back? It's obvious that 3 out of 4 kids would fight back, so what was Kim Sullivan thinking as she went about with her actions. What if she wanted to start a fight.
Whatever Kim Sullivan's reasons were for her actions they definitely back fired. She has made a bad name for her and made parents now question the thought of their children riding the bus. This bus driver is the exact opposite of what I call a hero. She is a villain.

It's dreadful when a teacher personally embarrasses you in front of a crowd, when a bus driver does that it's unbelievable. What cruel person would provoke a fist fight between themselves and and a minor? Many people after hearing this tried to themselves in the students position [including myself]. If a bus driver were to yell at me and refuse to let me off the bus, what would I do? If she then physically push towards my seat and then punch me in the chest, how would I react? If she threw my phone out of the bus, then punch me again , would I fight back? It's obvious that 3 out of 4 kids would fight back, so what was Kim Sullivan thinking as she went about with her actions. What if she wanted to start a fight.
Whatever Kim Sullivan's reasons were for her actions they definitely back fired. She has made a bad name for her and made parents now question the thought of their children riding the bus. This bus driver is the exact opposite of what I call a hero. She is a villain.
a few movies I recommend
Have you ever liked a movie so much that you couldn't stop watching it?Since the time television was first invented people have enjoyed watching different kinds of movies because they are just the best way to have fun.Movies are not all the same of course because if they were that way then it would get boring to watch movies with the same meaning.There are movies in which some are sad and others are happy this is a good thing because not everyone has the same taste in things one person might like a scary movie but another person might like suspense movies.I think that a movie is a great way to express how you feel about something and to show people how some tings really happen.
Are We Done Yet was released on April 4,2007, it was a big hit.The genre for this movie is comedy and family. It was directed by Steve Carr,he obviously knew what he was doing. The main characters were Ice Cube [Nick Persons],Nia Long [Suzanne Persons],John C. Mcginley [Chuck Mitchell Jr.],Aliesha Allen [Linsey Persons],and Philip Bolden [Kevin Persons].This movie is about a newlyweds nick and Suzanne they decide to buy a new home away from the hustle of the city to give their kids a better life.But when they meet Chuck the supposedly realestate agent that sells them the house of their dreams, Nicks dream house becomes his worst nightmare.He then finds out that the wonderful house they bought isn't so wonderful after all because they started out with a small problem and ended up almost making the house again.During that time Nick meets a lot of different people,gets in to fights and gets to know the truth about Chuck.Oh yea,i also forgot to tell you that his wife got pregnant and Chuck helped deliver the two most beautiful baby boys.And at the end everyone was happy accept for one little accident that happened to Nick's car.
Another fantastic movie is Pans Labyrinth it was released on October 11,2006 ,personally it has been one of my favorites.Drama,fantasy,and thriller were all rolled into one to make the genre of this movie.The director of this movie was Guillermo Del Toro,if any of you are planing to become directors make sure to ask him for advise on how to make a truly great movie.The main characters of these movie were Ivana Baquero [Ofelia],Sergi Lopez [Vidal],Maribel Verdu [Mercedes],and Doug Jones [pale man].This movie takes place in1944 Francos Spain , during a war.It is about a young girl that loves to read about mystical creatures such as fairies and truly beliefs they do exist.One day she goes into a labyrinth and meets a faun that tells her she is a princess and that he needs her help .He gives her a book telling what 3 things she had to do,but no one could find out about it.So she did everything he ask her but during that time her mom died because she was expecting and back then they didn't have a lot of resources and it was just to much for her.But she also got a little brother and as they say babies are god's blessing.Well, since i can't write the whole movie I'm just going to summaries it in eight words ''You have to see ,it to believe it'
One of my favorite comedies is Little Man it was realised on July 14,2006.The genre of this movie is comedy and crime.It's director is Keenan Ivory Wayans.It's main characters are Marlon Wayans [Calvin],Shawn Wayans [Darryl],and Kerry Washington [Vanessa].This movie is about a dwarf criminal that just got out of jail he joins his normal height brother [that's the only thing normal about him] to steal a huge diamond .When the police goes after them Calvin hides the diamond in the pures of Vanessa an executive.She is married to Darryl a man who really wants to have a baby.Well,after they put the diamond in her bag they fallow her home and they come up with the idea to make them think that Calvin is a baby.Vanessa and Darryl fall for and keep him without knowing who he really is.They go through the most weird situations and Calvin get6s to know how Darryl really feels about him and them he tells him the truth about their whole plan.At the end they both become good friends even though everything that had happened.
So the next time you want to go watch a movie think about all the great options you have,because not only the movies the new movies are good there are also fantastic old ones.For example I bet that this article has made you want to see these three movies. I know that it would do that to me.I have learned not to judge movies because it's the same with people you have to get to know them or for movies watch them. But I also agree that their are movies so bad that make you think twice about not judging other movies, because I've seen some that look like the person who made them didn't know what a movie is suppose to be.Have you ever seen one of those kinds of movies?How did they make you feel about other movies?

What's Happening in Sports
The world of sports is all about winning games and having fun playing your sport. These sports are the most popular sports right now, NFL and NBA. For football the super bowl is all most here because the final games are close and we will see who will be playing to be champions. In Basketball the season is almost over and the play-offs are also all most here. The play-offs is the event that makes basketball fans enjoy the most out of every event in the NBA. In these play-offs lets see if the Suns will beat the Spurs to go to Semi-finals. The Spurs have always beat the Suns and we'll see if there is change.
Sports are for fun and they are for enjoying but when injuries come in it isn't that fun and it happens to a lot of athletes. Some athletes loose their career getting seriously hurt. In the NFL a lot of players get hurt and get surgeries. In the NBA a players most popular injury is usually on the knee. Players usually don't play for months. That really hurts their career and they still go through the pain and suffering.
In the NBA the Suns have the best record right now and they are going to play the Timber Wolves. The Timber Wolves standing is 5 wins and 32 loses. Even though the Timber wolves have bad standings they might have a victory over the Suns. The Suns leader is their point guard, Steve Nash. The Timber wolves need to step it up if they want better stats. In the NFL games are still going on and the teams want to make it to the super bowl.
The world of sports is interesting and fun. There are consequences, but they are worth it. Sports are to enjoy and watch. Watching the NBA and NFL, those sports are competitive and they play to win and win a championship. That is the world of sports, enjoy it.

Racial Profiling
A big problem in our society right now is racial profiling. You may ask yourself, "what is racial profiling?" Well, racial profiling is when someone makes a judgment about someone else depending on their race. This is something common today. Every race makes a judgment of another race. It happens everywhere.
A police man can make a judgment about someone. For example, a police man is white and he sees a Latino driving. Even though the Latino is driving at the correct speed limit, the cop suddenly makes a judgment or just because he is racist he pulls him over. That is an example of racial profiling and it is realistic. Yet, it does not have to be a white officer and a Latino. It happens with all races.
Racial profiling started decades ago and it still remains common. Back in the 60's racism was more direct. African-Americans suffered more than any other race that lived in America. Whites used to be very cruel to them. People have no right to judge any person just because of the color of their skin.
In the 60's when hippies were new, they got judged, not because of their race or their color of skin, but how they acted, how they dressed, how they thought and how they looked. I think racial profiling doesn't always have to do with race or racism. Racism is judging someone by their color of skin. Hippies were judged, but that does not mean a certain hippie was judged just by his/her color of skin. People from many different races were hippies and considered part of the counter culture.
We can all fall in making a judgment of someone that we don't now deeply. Racial profiling is finally going away, but slowly. We should all think before making a judgment about someone. being racist can produce hate and get rid of peace and love. Finally, racial profiling can happen any where any time and to any one.

The Boy with the Gun
Having regular backpacks should be a privilege. People should earn the right to have regular backpacks. A bad student could bring anything in his bag. He could bring a weapon that could hurt a person and/or people. A weapon could be hidden anywhere in a bag. This poem here represents a person who brought a gun and the consequences.
The boy with the gun!!!
A kid went to school
With a gun in his backpack, he though it was cool.
All he wanted to do is be popular and rule.
And in some way it was going to be cruel.
He went through first period
With a gun in his bag
Then second period then third.
He went to lunch with a smile in his face,
he was walking in a very fast pace.
He walked in a crowd and they all smiled
They never knew what was going to happen next.
He dropped the gun,
Three people began to run.
Only one got shot
Everybody ran to her and the puddle of blood.
All she could see
Was the people who plead,
for her not to leave!!!
One week later they returned to the scene,
of what use to be.
A place to have fun
Where they can be their selves' and run,
now we think of pain.
When it all started with having fame.
All she wanted was to live life.
All she wanted was to have fun.
Now nobody will forget her,
The person who got shot with a gun.

Underground Railroad: Road to Freedom or Death?
I'm writing this are to explain how the underground rail road started, why, when and how it was like. My sources were only books.
You may be wondering what the under ground rail road is, well it is the term given to slaves escape routes.It helped runaway slaves to reach safety of the northern or in Canada. Slavery was illegal in Canada. The rail road routes led from the south to the north. (Although they were not really railroads at all, but routes where people would go from place to place).
The Underground Railroad sprang up and grew over time as more people helped run away slaves move north. Even though it was illegal, they helped them because they believed that no person should own another person. Although many lucky slaves made it to freedom, other unlucky slaves didn't make it at all. They were often hunted down while trying to escape. They were sometimes beaten and even shot when captured. As another punishment for trying to escape. Slave owners would cut off their fingers, heels or toes.
At the end of the war of 1812, U.S. soldiers spread the word that Canada was a safe place for run away slaves. So some slaves began the long and life threating journey to the North. Many slaves each had their own idea of a good hiding place such as houses,farm's,barn's, cave's secret compartments and even grave yards.
Slaves took directions from the north star and moss that grew on tree trunks. People who helped run away slaves were called Conductors. Conductors had secret codes that helped slaves get to their destination safely; like quilts and stones the tapping of stones meant for slaves that it wasn't safe to come out at the moment. A bear claw patterned quilt meant for the slaves to follow bear tracks over mountains.
The most famous conductors were Uncle Billy Marshal and Harriet Tubman. It is believed that they helped over 300 run away slaves make it to freedom. Alexander Ross was also a conductors, but even more impressing he was a white doctor with a big heart. He helped many slaves by providing them with supplies and Canada directions.
By the 1860 many states have passed laws for or against of slavery. That same year, Abraham Lincoln was elected as the U.S president. He did not believe in slavery even thought it was legal under the U.S constitution. He thought the federal government had no power to out law slavery. He said each state should decide if it was legal.
The Underground Railroad was a dramatic protest action against slavery. This secret operation was part of a organized abolitionist activity in the 1800's. The story of the under ground rail road includes the many brave slaves determined to reach freedom, as well as the people who helped them. Although there were many routs slaves could take only few from each slave states made it to freedom, the nearest were either were captured or they died of starvation or extreme weather. Slavery started in 1501 and it ended completely in 1865, that's a lot of years that remaining slaves had to put up with. Many say it was worth it, at least they were free for ever.

book review: Among the Free
A review of "Among the Free"
How is Among the Free like the Holocaust ? Can it become our future?
Stopped dead in your tracks as you hear the loud banging of the door followed by a horrible sound of scary men who call themselves population police. Once you hear that chills run down your spin as you go into hiding. At the same time you family is trying to erase any evidence that you were there. You crouch down in a small space in the dusty attic. So many thoughts are racing through you mind as you hope you don't get caught, you pray that they don't find you. At a long inspection they finally leave and you are free to come out of hiding.
As horrible as that sounds this is a usual procedure for Margret Patterson Haddix's characters in her book Among the free ( from the series shadow children). The Shadow Children series is a futuristic based book about a society where the government only allows two kids per family due to droughts and famines. In the book Luke Garners is a twelve year old boy has never experienced life outside of his house because he is a third child. Now after getting a fake ID and posing as Lee Grant he is going to risk his life to take down the population police. After reading this series question popped up in my mind. Is Among the free like the Holocaust? Could this eventually become our future?
Like the Holocaust , many people were killed in Among the free. Innocent people died because they were born 3rd. In the book they would hire what they call population police to get rid of [kill] 3rd children. Population police were so big they could have been considered an army. The Population Police were equivalent to the Nazi. They killed and controlled Innocents. That would mean the third children were equivalent to the Jewish back during the holocaust.
Among the free is a very powerful book. In my opinion the whole series is addicting, but as good as it is what would it be like if it became reality? With the way things our going in America, I'm honestly afraid of our future. Droughts and famines were the reason for this incredibly insane law for less population. People got this crazy idea that third children were the reason. Although the population is getting bigger I don't see a better reason to destroy a human bean. Even with the crazy accusations of this fictional book, could people ( presidents mainly) be inspired by this. Possibly even think is is a great idea?
Could this possibly be our future? Could America be taken over in these preposterous thoughts? Could Among the free and another holocaust become our future? Could we those millions and lose our freedom? Just the thought scares me out of my wits. I guess we will just have to see what the future holds for us!

Even with the crazy accusations of this fictional book, could people ( presidents mainly) be inspired by this. Possibly even think is is a great idea?
Could this possibly be our future? Could America be taken over in these preposterous thoughts? Could Among the free and another holocaust become our future? Could we those millions and lose our freedom? Just the thought scares me out of my wits. I guess we will just have to see what the future holds for us!

Well you may think that movie reviews might not be such a good idea for a newspaper.But do you want it to be just plain old boring, educational but not always interesting? I think its a good idea because you can see what the latest movie reviews are so you can see which movie is actually worth watching.Like I am legend has been popular and you can look up the reviews and stuff to see if its good. Personally I think its a good idea to put these kinda of things in a newsletter.but in the end i guess its up to you to choose to look or not.
Hey there! My name is Dimplez, and I'm one of the movie reviewers for The Social Voice website. So if you have any questions you can ask me or my partner in crime Sweetpaige! Not really in crime, more like in viewing movies. I'm going to be checking out as many movies as I can. So I will be writing about all of the movies I see. But if you still have any doubts message me at anytime you can. I'll reply to you as soon as I can. The movies out at the time that I'm going to be checking out are the ones above.
Ok well one of those awesome movies is The Orphanage. If you're looking for something scary but not so much you can't sleep.... Look no further. This is an absolutely GREAT movie. It's intense and full of action. You really need to check it out! Of course, it is rated "R," so you need to have a parent or some 18 or older with you. The thing is there really isn't anything rated R about it. So enjoy.
You should also try watching movies out on VHS and DVD. It doesn't matter how old it is. One of my favorite types of movies are the Disney princesses movies. They totally rock. If you haven't already you should try watching them all. There's Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Aladin, Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. You can also watch the sequals of Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Cinderella. But they're not as good as the originals.
Ok well I told you about some movies. So if you want to know about any other movies just let me know! Also if you need any advice on video games, message sweetpaige. Trust me she'll tell you pretty much what you need to know about that. Well thanks for reading this. Have fun and enjoy watching all those amazing movies!

global poverty
Did you know that nearly 25,000 people die every day of hunger or other related causes? One person dies every three and a half seconds. As you can see in the picture below, children are the ones who die most often. They are the victims. We are the only ones that can lend a helping hand.
These kids take the little they have and don´t care whether it smells or looks bad, they just want to survive another day. Even though there might be enough food for all the world, the problem is that the hungry people don´t have enough money to buy food. With no food they are more likely not to go to work, they become poorer and get more hungry. Until it comes to a horrid ending that involves, "Death." There is still hope some. Have you ever seen on TV or gotten in the mail some information about how to be a sponsor for a small little kid that needs your help in order to survive another day? What do you do about it?Do you just throw it in the trash or do something about it? This is what America and other states should do. Why bother fighting for some dumb reason rather than take care of the people that are really in need? ACT UP!
I would say that each little state should have a good leader.Maybe then will the leader learn that people have opinions too. Wouldn´t you want to have a leader that supports the poor, takes care of the old, someone that helps out schools give a better education for your kids? Half of the world live on less than $2 a day! Do your parents or you get payed 2 dollars a day?I mean working the whole entire day and getting paid only two dollars isn't fair! While other people work 6 hours a day and get payed 150 or more! Sadly that does occur in the daily lives of others. Poverty is not just a little problem, its huge problem! The way I look at it is horrible.
I had an experience once not to long ago,a man that looked like he was a homeless, came up to us (me and my dad,we were in the laundry place) and asked my dad for some money, my dad said that he didn´t have any at that time and told him he could have a bedspread that looked fairly new and was in good conditions, but the problem was that the bedspread was in the trash. Someone has thrown it in not too long before he came in. At first he said no thank you,but then my dad told him it will be great for a place to sleep in!!! He didn´t think about it much. He rapidly took it out and as we watched he folded it and place it in his ¨FOOD CITY¨bag.My dad gave him chips and he greatly appreciated it.He sat down and started eating the chips (My eyes got a bit watery.)Then not to long came the laundry assistant and told him to please get out! He said O.K and thanked my dad then he left....I ran into the laundry´s restroom. I burst out in tears.(I'm the emotional kind) If someone is suffering I can´t help myself and begin to cry.Then my dad began to tell me the reasons why people like them shouldn´t be given money but help...Consider this he said that he would rather give money to a person that can no longer work then a person who just roaming around streets asking for money so when he reaches to an amount he or she can go waste it on beer. SAD!.............
Poverty hasn't change much over the years. It continues to ruin lives daily,and they are always in need of our help. And its up for to us to lend them a helping hand. In order to do that we need to donate money to a charity that helps the ones in need. A couple cents a day makes a big difference in their daily life. Don't you like to see little kids happy? I do.So think about it.
Eva Peron
Eva Peron, the History of a Hero
On May 1919, Argentina became the home of what became a hero, her name Eva Maria Duarte AKA Evita Peron. Growing up very poorly with five more siblings and no dad Eva had to live in a one room shack and work in kitchens of rich houses instead of going to school. After turning 16 she moved to Buenos Aires, and filmed a few movies and worked at a radio station. In 1945 Eva met the Minister of War, Juan Peron. In less than a year they were married and she helped him run for presidency. To their surprise they won. As the first lady, Eva started her own foundation and made many schools and hospitals. She also helped women with their education and workers that were being exploded. Soon Eva had made many friends and enemies, because she embraced her poverty and became to many the first women politician even though she was only the president's wife.
Her worst enemies were the rich people in Argentina. They hated her because she didn't like them and did everything to put them down. When the oldest charity in Argentina didn't invite her to be the president, she cut all of the money they received from the government, shut them down and started her own foundation.
Eva's political life was short. She was diagnosed with cancer in 1950 and she knew she was going to die. Since she was so loved by people in Argentina she did one last thing before giving up. She ordered some workers to build her something that would hold her standing up so she could seem like she was fine and they did. When she finally felt ready she used her biggest coat and covered her whole body so people wouldn't see what she was hiding. She went out on the streets and waved at everyone.
The very next year on July Evita died. The whole country was devastated and so was her husband. Up to this day everyone remembers her and that's what makes her a hero. She came from the lowest and embraced her poverty becoming the first lady of Argentina, to many the first woman politician and most important of all Evita.
National Gossip
Gwyenth Paltrow is she really starving herself
Gwyenth Paltrow was hospitalized on Monday and released some time on Tuesday, and her publicist rightfully refuses to discuss the reason for her hospitalization. However, that hasn't stopped people from speculating why she needed to seek medical attention.According to new york magazine, Paltrow, who usually eats a macrobiotic diet and practices yoga and Pilate's regularly, was doing a fast, which could have lead to her hospitalization.
The actress was said to be on a five-day live-food fast from New York. The temporary diet does allow for some food. "She's eating salads. There's actually quite a bit of food there, it's just all raw and organic," says an employee of Organic Avenue.
We don't like the word fast when it's not referring to cars and speed. I hope you eat soon Gwyneth Paltrow. She has learned to star eating healthy instead of just starving.
Britney Spears pregnant again..
We were very suspicious about the Spears spermination reports, but this is rocking our world!
Brit Brit was videotaped browsing home pregnancy tests at Rite Aid a few days ago with paparazzo lover boy Adnan Ghalib. Maybe she's just messing with us????If she is pregnant she needs to be a better mom than she was with her other two boys!I seriously don't think she is because her belly is not growing unless she is but who knows. I hope Britney does better in recovery.
Jaime Lynn Spears PREGNANT
As much fun as it is to berate the Spears sisters for all of their missteps, what really irks me is the fame-whoring that is clearly going on. Jamie Lynn and Mama Spears announced the news to Magazine's before telling most of their family. K-Fed was warned only the day before the issue dropped and the Spears clan did not even have the decency to tell poor Britney before the magazine hit newsstands. Reading about your sisters' lovechild on the cover of a tabloid? I know that's the way I would hope to find out about any pregnancies in my family. It hurt all out of Zoey 101 fans it hurt them that the how was cancelled unexpectedly.
