Packers v.s Bears

This week in the NFL playoffs, Pakers and Bears are confroting eachother for spot to Superbowl 46. I believe that Pakers are going to win the game. Pakers have better quarterback then the Bears. Aaron Rodgers (Packers has more agility and skils then Jay Cutler (Bears). Although the game is going to be in the home stadium of Bears, Packers still got this game. Who do you guys think will win?

Subway

Hello all readers today I will write a review about a sandwich shop called Subway. It has a long line of sandwich options. You get to tell the people what you want and they put it in it. They have the five dollar foot long. They have a very good variety of sandwiches. I like the Meatball sub. it comes with many meatballs, cheese, and anything else you want.

NBA All-Star Weekend

In about a month or so, on Febraury 20th, one of the most celebrated game will be played: the All-Star game. In it, the top players in Western and Eastern Conferences will go head-to-head in a spectacular game of tricks and skill. This year, it will be hosted in center of LA, the famous Staples Center. I myself will personally watch the Lebron-Kobe matchup. In all this hype about it, I would like to know who you would choose for the starting lineup for the game. So please comment on who you would pick.

Does power corrupt

I do think that power corrupts those who have it. I think this because in many ways you can see that power does corrupt. Some big companies are corrupt and they will show it every once in awhile. In "The House of the Scorpion" there are many signs of corruptions in the book. El Paton had so much power he had everything he needed. The keepers are corrupt by keeping all the kids working and eating only plankton. So yes power corrupts those who do have it.

I think that students who blame other students just need someone to blame for there schools failure. If I where to answer that question I would give it some thought first. I would do this because you should think it out first before you say it. But my answer for this question, and not to hurt any teachers feelings, is that I think it is the teachers fault for our schools failures. I think this because if the teachers cant control or just teach the students the students will fail. This is my opinion and others can differ but I do stick with my opinion.

I think that what Nancy Farmer is talking about an idea in "The House of the Scorpion" about the Five-legged horse is probabaly attacking the government of socialism. I think this because socialism is "the economic political thoery advocating public or common ownership and coopertive management of the means of production and allocation of resources." In the book it seems like the Keepers are using this in an oposite manner or in a bad way since they have the kids doing the work in a since of cooperation but they do it to get food. In the book one of the kids told Matt "My advice for you is to sit your butt down while you have the chance" kind of saying that the keepers dont like when you dont work right away. This is my opinion on this post.

Type of government that H.O.T.S has

In the novel "House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer,, Nancy farmer is trying to say that the type of government is socialism. I think this because it talks about El Patron ruling Opium, but they also talk about thm rulin themselves. For example, "Wich we call individualism," (Farmer 274) Raul says this because everybody rules themselves but theres is a ruler as well that tells them what to do (democracy). This is what i think the type government the story has

House of scorpion goverment

Some people are debating on the government that Nancy Farmer is trying to express in the book House of Scorpion.I personally think she is trying to show the importance of a Democracy.She shows this as she mentions the Five Legged Horse. "Suppose a horse grew a fifth leg that only wanted to please itself.The fifth leg would want to walk slowly and watch the meadow.The poor animal would fall over.That's why would have to take the horse to a vet a get the fifth leg cut off.It might seem harsh buts its what we got to do to pull together."(page 274)This shows that if we all have to lead by one we will not accomplish are goal.Democracy shows that governing of the people will give many views.This will enhance the power of government.It show this on http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/democracy. United States shows some of this power in their government.

Form of Government

In the story House of the Scorpion, Nancy Farmer brings in politics in the chapter the Five- Legged Horse. She uses the five- legged horse as a form of government. I believe the form of government is a communism. It's a communist government because Raul, the keeper, tries to take control of all the lost boys and girls. Communism basically means one person trying to take control of everybody.

The 5-Legged Government

For our classwork, our teacher has asked us what type of government is mentioned in Nancy Farmer's book the House of the Scorpion when they were discussing the 5-legged Horse.
I believe the government mentioned here is democracy. When Raul was talking about the horse, he said that you must get rid of the 5th leg in order for all the legs to work together. then he mentions that they've "all got pull together" in order to make it (Farmer, 274). In a democracy, the people rule their own government. everybody has to work together in order to for their government to work. This is similair to the legs of the horse. Obviously, Nancy Farmer is writing about democracy in her novel.

Form of Government

I will be blogging about our teacher asked us to blog about. We have to say what type of government an author is talking about in the book House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. I think the author is talking about communism. This is because all people are supposed to be equal but when you think something you are not supposed to think you are cut down. I think this quote from www.allaboutphilosophy.org/commumnism.htm shows what when they say, "he political results of communism have been horror and atrocity for those under communist rule." This proves that they think that their idea won't work and they are trying to make it work.
