Sparta and Athens differed in many way including government, the difference between citzen and not a citzen and also the treatment of their women; these differences were so critical it caused them to continue to be enemies even after Sparta helped Athens in the Persian war.
Athens is the reason why we have a democracy because they believe in a direct democracy meaning the people pick the way Athens should be governed. For example in document 2, Pericles says "Our adminstration places power in the hands of the many instead of the few : this is why it is called democracy ." They also believe that unlike in Sparta where if you were a slave then you were not involved in making decisions , you were able to have a voice too , Also in reference to document 2 where Pericles says "Nor does poverty bar the way --if a man is able to serve the state, he is not hindered by the obscurity of his conditions." In Sparta which is a militaristic state they believe that only the few who are appointed to make laws and run the state should run it and everybody else should be ready for battle. For example in document 3 , Demaratus states" For though they are free men , they are not entirley free. They accept the Law as their master. And they respect this master more their your subject respect you." Spartan had respect for the people who went to wars and their royal families. There were people in Athens that believed that the common people gave Athens its power so they should be respected for example in document 3 , it reads First it is the right that there the poor and common have advantages over the nobles and the rich; for it the common who row the ships and give the city its power .... than the armored troops (aristocrats ) and the gentry.
These City-States also differed in who was a citzen and who was not. for example in document 8, Starbo said ," though the neighboring people were subject to the Spartans ,still they had equal rights, sharing both in the rights of citizenship and in the offices of state, they were called Helots." Corithian gave a speech that ask the people of Sparta " Have you ever thought out what... The Athenians are like or how vastly and indeed utterly , they differ from yourselves? I believes he is questioning the Spartans about do they think their running their city-states right? In Athens the people rich or poor make the city-state right.
The last way Athens and Sparta differ is the way they treat their women. In Athens , there is a way that women should act and be but they are not like in Sparta where women are just sex objects use to make babies. For example in document 5 Xenophon says " In Athens , the girls who are destined to become mother and are brought up in the approved fashion, live on the very plainest fare, with a a most meager allowance of delicacies." He also say" But Lycurgus (of Sparta) thought the labor of slave women sufficent to supply clothing. He believed motherhood to be the most important function of freeborn woman." Also In each city-states woman are not considered citizens because in document 6 the number of citizens in Athens 165,000 and in Sparta there are 32,000 and I am pretty sure they did not count the women.
These differences between Athens and Sparta cause them to continue to be enemies.

The state of the US Economy
Our Economy is in a state of a stand still meaning there is no money to be made because the little people are unable to make money. With unemployment rates being at 9.0% ,where are the job. When I speak on the little people I am speaking on the middle class, it is like our government is trying to get rid of the middle class and have only rich and poor.The President is limited on what he can do because if the republicans don't like the bills , he is trying to pass they just vote against it no matter what it may do for the economy.With the holidays coming up a lot of people are trying to figure out if they can afford gifts and even to have a big thanksgiving dinner and let alone figure out if they will have a job tomorrow.
The people who are being hit the hardest by this struggling US economy are the senior citizen . They are losing job left and right, there are about 2 million elderly unemployed . The ones who are employed can't afford to retire. Most of them can't afford health care because of the price of health care, which mean they can't afford to go to the hospital. That a shame they work hard all their life to continue to work until they die.
It is not just our economy suffering . The whole worlds economy is suffering. For example in Europe, Greece is threating to be out of the Euro zone. China is also suffering due to the troubles in Europe. What about the contries with rapidly growing populations like India ? How can they afford to feed how those people?
The people of this world can't stand for this any longer, recently we have been seeing student protest for example Occupy Wall Street. These student protest the unqualiness of federal cooperations with the slogan "We are the 99% ". These are people with masters degree who can't find jobs. This organization is popping up all over the world . Now is it worth paying for a higher education when you can't even find a good job to put it in use at.
I believe we should take back the right of our government . Isn't that what suppose to make us a Democracy. The Preamble say" We the people of the United states", but it is starting to look like we the cooperations of the Unites States. Is it so bad that we have a middle class or are they cutting into the cooperations money. We have to take care of the elders because if we dont this cycle could continue then the oldest you will get in this country will be 65. We have to fix this or we will repeat our history of " The Great Depression".

Former Prison Cook Wants to Continue Last Meals
A former prison inmate named Brian Price,who also wrote the book "Meals To Die For", wants to continue to cook meals for death row inmates at their request the day of their excruciation. Many government official believe that it is a waist of time and believe that they should eat what other inmates eat that day. They believe this because inmate Brewer requested two chicken fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra, a pound of barbecue, three fajitas, a meat lover's pizza, a pint of ice cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts. Prison guards said Brewer didn't eat any of it.Wednesday, September 28, 2011

My Summer
My Summer
Summer vacation is a time when many students relax and let go. My summer brought many interesting moments with friends, family, and myself.
This summer I spent a lot of time with my friends . I believe that this was best summer I have ever had because my friends and I stayed close through cheerleading. We had cheer camp this summmer and it was funny because I have never been to camp especially with an abundance of girls. I enjoyed it because my best friends Jazmine and Octavia were there. They kept me laughing and on my toes by just bascially doing what friends do.
I also spent time with my family this summer by going to Louisiana. My grandmother lives in Louisiana, when I go to louisiana not also am I enjoying time with my family but I enjoy the environment. My grandmother's house is by some woods so the scenary is great. I also learned stuff in Louisiana for example I went to the Magnolia Planation because I love learning about my ancestors. I learned where the slaves live, work and played. Out of my whole summer this trip meant the most to me becasue of the learning experience.
This summer I spent time with myself which made me think about how I must mature for my tenth grade year. For example I knew that I would have AP classes so this summer I told myself that I have to grow up and start working harder.This also was a learning experience for me.
This summmer I had the best summer of my life by spending time with friends, family and myself.
What's in a Name?
What’s in a Name?
In my opinion a name describes that person. For example if I knew a person whose name was Heaven I would think she is sweet because maybe that what her mother wanted people to think when you hear her name. A name can show your personality, your mother's train of thinking while she was pregnant and the uniqueness that it holds.
A name can describe a personality because I believe that a mother names her child off of how they think your going to be. For example a person name lyric, the mother named her that because she loves music and may believe her daughter will be interested in music. Many mothers give their sons strong names . They want their son to be able to grow up as a man and have a mature personality.
I know when you read my thesis you think how can a name show your mother's train of thinking while being pregnant. There are some names that i hear and i think well maybe your mother was thinking about that when she named you. For example I know many children named after cars so maybe this was your mother or father's favorite car. I also know people named after their ancestors; well maybe your mother or father was thinking about how they admired that person and wanted you to be just like them.
Names always have a certain type of uniqueness. For example i have seen many Jazmines and each of their names are spelled differently. The uniqueness is how they are spelled. Also name have unique meaning for example i heard the name Malik means king. The meaning gives boys pride to have it.
A name means many things it show personality, what your mother is thinking while she is pregnant, and the uniqueness it holds.
