First, athletes only play for entertainment. Anyone can play a game in front of others, so I don't see why certain athletes get paid so much. I also wonder, what is the point? Sure, you can win a game and get a trophy, but then what? Do you keep going on just to make the money?
Then there is the problem of athletes being too rich. When you have a lot of extra money, you tend to blow it on useless items. If you buy useless items, then you are wasting money. That has to be bad for the economy because athletes are wasting money that could be used by someone who really needs it.
Finally, athletes' attitudes seem to change after getting the money. If you have a lot of money, then you think that you are higher than everyone else. Thinking like this can cause you to be greedy with your money. I am not saying that all athletes are greedy, but that some are.
In conclusion, I believe that professional athletes are paid too much for simply playing games. ]]> http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1439657 2012-04-04T09:18:55-05:00 http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1434514 http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1434514 2012-03-20T10:40:15-05:00 http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1422336 To begin with, I admire caring people. Someone who is selfless, thoughtful, and kind. I think it is important to have a caring person around you because then you are always in a good mood.
Also, funny is a good quality in a person. If you have a funny person in your life then you are always happy and smiling.
Finally, everyone should have someone in their life that is understanding. Someone who is understanding never judges you. They are always by your side when you need a friend. They stick by you through thick and thin.
In conclusion, I admire the qualities caring, funny, and understanding in a person.]]> http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1422336 2012-02-12T16:27:51-05:00 http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1411819 Surrounded by luxury, soft cushions and fans
But this King stood strong
stood proud
stood tall

When the driver told Rosa
"Move to the back of the bus!"
When the waiter told students
"We don't serve your kind!"
When the Mayor told voters
"Your vote don't count!"
And when the sheriff told marchers
"Get off our streets!"
using fire hoses, police dogs and cattle prods
to move them along
This King stood strong
stood proud
stood tall
Speaking of peace
of love
and children
hand in hand
free at last
free at last

When some yelled for violence
For angry revenge
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
He stood his ground
Preaching peace

And when some spit out hate
He stood there smiling
Spreading love
Until it rolled like the sea across the land
Sweeping away Jim Crow
Breaking down the walls
Ringing the bell
Joyfully
For Freedom

Until
Standing on the mountain top
They shot him
Coldly
Hoping to see him fall
Hoping to put him away
To bring him low

But this King
even in death
even today
stands strong
stands proud
stands tall
And we remember

I find it hilarious when David tells his family all of these bad things that Charles did, when he is really the one doing it. So, in a way, he is confessing to his parents all of his bad doings.
Secondly, I don't see how David kept his little charade up for so long. Clearly, his mom needs to pay more attention.
And finally, When David's mom finally figures out that Charles isn't real, both the mom and the teacher are in awe because of what David was doing this whole time.
In conclusion, "Charles" is a funny short story that i have enjoyed for its humor.]]> http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1369788 2011-10-03T11:27:11-05:00 http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1369776 First of all, Many think that school is boring, but I doubt that they would rather sit at home all day doing nothing! Then they would be bored all the time.
Next, If there wasn't school, you wouldn't meet people, therefore, you wouldn't have any friends.
And finally, if you didn't go to school, then you wouldn't learn anything about the world or life, and you wouldn't be very intelligent.
In conclusion, you shouldn't complain about school because you get to hang out with friends, learn new things, and it gets you out of the house for a majority of the day.]]> http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1369776 2011-10-03T11:18:20-05:00 http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1361793 http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blog_id=1361793 2011-09-13T09:25:09-05:00
