Who should become President

Mitt Romney has beliefs that is going to hut our economy as well as the status of out country. He is only looking out for the rich people in our society and making sure that they wouldn't have to pay any taxes. Whereas, Barack Obama is trying to help the middle class will tax cuts because they're the ones who are getting hit the hardest. I would vote for Barack Obama because he has plans that will help our country economically and socially.

Romney wants to give the military 2 trillion dollars, but the military i snot asking for any money right now. He also wants to make a 5 trillion dollar tax cut, yet he still hasn't told the public where the money is going to come from. Obama, on the other hand, wants to increase  the tax of the upper class because they can afford it rather than lowering their taxes. He also wants to make tax cuts on companies that create jobs in the United States.

Romney thinks that China is our biggest threat, but in reality they are not. China is our main trade partner that we go to all the time. Obama has the best plans for our county and he should get reelected as President. He has plans that will lower or debt and help our economy greatly.

Political Cartoons

The first political cartoon by Adam Zyglis is expressing that Romney has different views each time he is having a debate. Just like when you each chocolate from a chocolate box one will get a different kind each time. One does not just know what piece of chocolate to pick  because they're all so delicious; this is the same concept with Romney because he does not know which side to choose in a given situation. The second political cartoon by Eric Allie is depicting that Romney has won the debated fairly, but Obama has been great in the debates but not good enough to win them. The cartoon is also depicting that the Democrats think that Obama did a great job and has a chance to win. The first cartoon         depicts that Romney constantly changes his views whereas the second cartoon depicts that Romney has won all the debates and has a good chance of winning the election.

The two political cartoons differ because the first cartoon  is pro Obama because it is trying to explain that Romney would be a horrible choice because of his conflicting views on the situation in the  United States. If Romney were to be elected then none of the problems would be solved because he would start one solution and change his mind and jump to another one. The second cartoon is pro Romney because it emphasizes how he has won the debates and has a very good chance to win the election.


The two political cartoon have little to none comparison because they are both saying incredibly different. Ont thing that I can point out is that in the first cartoon Obama is being smiled upon and in the second picture, though it is pro Romney, depicts that Obama has done a fairly good job in the debates due to the fact that the Obama campaign says "Great tackle!"

Precis

Précis

(1)   Journalist Kasie Hunt, in her article, “Romney, Obama focus on US posture abroad” (2012) identify what Romney and Obama have said to criticize each other that affect their campaigns. (2) Hunt states that Romney has attacked Obama’s foreign leadership which led the republicans to criticize the President. (3) Hunt’s purpose is the show that people that whatever Romney is saying about Obama is false in order to inform the people that Romney is a liar. (4) She establishes an informational tone towards an audience of political knowledge.  

I am surprised that Romney would try to make such a move. Trying to make Obama look bad by lying is not a good idea. The things that Romney said about Obama have been proven wrong; this makes him look like an idiot. He should have just played a fair game with truthful information, but he decided to play dirty and he got what was coming for him. 

Trip To India

           One cold afternoon in mid December my family and I were sitting next to our warm and cozy fireplace watching How I met your mother and all of a sudden my mom blurts, “We are going to India next summer!” In shock, we all looked at her like she was crazy and questioned, “Why?” She exclaimed, “I’m tired of the cold and I miss the mother land, so no matter what, we’re going!” I looked at my dad with a skeptical look on my face wondering if he would agree with my mom. Evidently, he did and he booked our tickets the next day.

            I woke up at 4 in the morning the day of our flight, which was at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I was extremely excited and I still had some last minute packing to do. I went into my parent’s room and woke them up at 10 am, they scramble out of their bed and my dad yelled, “Why did you wake us up this late!” and went straight into the shower.  My mom went downstairs and started making breakfast; I, on the other hand, went downstairs and started playing Battlefield 3 on my Playstation 3. An hour later, after we all ate, my parents did a last check on our luggage and we left for O’Hare airport.

            We arrived at the airport at 2 o’clock and went through security; they made us take off our shoes and anything metal we has on us. Then we went straight to get our boarding passes; we waited another hour until our plane was ready. At 4 pm we started to board the plane and we found our seats; I sat down and got ready for the 13 hour flight.

            We arrived in India 9 o’clock at night; we got off the plane and got our luggage. My uncle found us and took us to a taxi, there we waited an hour and finally got a one; it was another two hour trip to his house. Once we reached his house, in the city of Bombay, I went straight to bed.

The morning had come upon me like a B-2 Spirit; I got up and had the most amazing breakfast I have ever had. My uncle and his family could not stop laughing because I had made an unforgettable face while I took the first bite of the tapalu (Indian spiced tortilla). In the afternoon my cousins took me to see the Gate of India (a massive arch in the center of Bombay). I was shocked at how many homeless people were on the street begging for money. Nobody gave them attention or bothered to give them money, I felt so bad and asked my cousin, “Why doesn’t anybody give them money?” she replied, “There are so many homeless baggers in India, and if you give one of them money all of them will come after you asking for some.” 

The next day my family and I went to a town called Umreth; there we stayed at my grandmother’s sister’s house. The streets were very small and tight, it was very hard to walk. My family and I went to a local Temple and on the way I saw at least 200 homeless people. I only had 100 rupees, which is equivalent to two American dollars, and I gave it to a lady that was sitting next to her child who would not stop crying. We continued walking to the temple, when we got there I was surprised at how many homeless people were inside. I couldn’t help myself; I went up to my dad and asked him for another 200 rupees, I split it and gave 50 to 4 of the 30 homeless people that were in the temple.

            Overall, I had a good time in India with my cousins and my family. My cousins took me to exciting places and I had the best food in my life. There were a lot of homeless people in India; seeing so many homeless people changed me. It taught me not to take advantage of the things I have because you can lose those things easily, like my dad always says, “If you abuse it, you’ll lose it.”
