English: Thank You M'am

Have you ever read a story that keeps you wanting more even when it has already ended? Well if so, we’re in the same predicament. Thank You M’am by Langston Hughes left me wanting more even after it ended. To find out why I think this, keep reading!

This story started off pretty weird and violent but toward the end, everything changed. This story started off with a boy named Roger trying to rob an old woman for her purse. He said he wanted to buy a pair of blue suede shoes. Instead of the older woman fleeing the boy off like a regular person would, Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones cared for the little boy. For example, she took Roger home and washed his face off. She didn’t just wash his face, she gave him a baptism. From that point on, Roger was a whole new person. Ms. Bates fed this boy and everything. The story started off as the woman and the boy being complete strangers but as the story went on, they started to bond. I thought that the story was going to end differently but it kind of ended off solid. It kept me wondering. The ending to me was kind of happy even though the last line was “then she shut the door.” I think it was happy because the lady had sympathy for the boy although in the beginning he had no sympathy for her. It was also happy because she cleaned him up and led him on to a new start so if he was to mess up, that would be on him.

In conclusion, this story was a good story with a solid, happy ending. It also taught you a lesson but more so in a read-in-between-the-lines kind of way. Although most stories have to have a closed ending for I to be considered a good one, this one was good although it was open ended!!

Philosophy of Government

I believe that freedom is more important than security. I think this because
in the ideal society we didn’t use the constitution, we made our own rules. We
didn’t have to use the constitution to write up a bill and stop the government
from using the ichip to watch us. Plus, we took them to court and sued them to
make them fix the ichip. If it were up to me, to make the perfect ideal society, I
would make the ichip the best selling chip in the country. Everyone would have
an ichip and nobody would get injured from this chip. This chip would not be
government filtered because the 4th amendment sates that all shall have privacy
so what makes them think that they shouldn’t respect our rights? The main goal
of the government is to fulfill every citizens needs and make sure that they are
satisfied. Also, make sure that they have no complaints, that the majority of the
citizens agree to the ideas, and make sure that they let citizens have a say in their
government.

Citizen protest was a major factor in the ideal society when the ichip was
first invented. Citizen Leon Watson was the ringleader in this cause when he tried
to lead a protest to try to impeach the president. The right to protest falls under
Amendment 1, which states; Congress shall make no law respecting the
establishment of religion or prohibiting free exercise. President Mink was kind of
upset but wasn’t really that worried because she believes that citizens have no say
in it. She may need to check her constitution. Will citizen Watson succeed in what
he is trying to do?

Things got pretty hectic when a bomb went off in the senate almost killing
Senator Daniels. Nowhere in the constitution says the rights of terrorism should
not stifle so they had no rights are doing that.

The death of citizen Malik Cooper has apple going through a crisis. If it
wasn’t for representative McShea from Apple corp., apple may have went out of
business. He used the constitution to back up their thoughts. Although Apple
won, Malik’s family had the right to go up there and state their opinion because
of the constitution; freedom of speech.

In conclusion, the constitution is a good problem solving paper. It lays out
legislating and judicial powers that can be used to stabilize this country. The ichip
is still on the market but up for better elements. I wonder what’s going to happen next!
