Currnt Connection! on the Billionaires article
When we see billionaires today we think they are full of it. In the acticle "What Should a Billinaire Give- and What Should You?'' stated that "Gates nor buffett seems motivated by the possibility of being rewarded in heaven for his good deeds on earth." In other words they are saying that they are not for sure that they are going heaven because of what they did here on earth. I think it doesn't matter what you have done on earth because you are always welcome in heaven. Now according to the text "If we were to grant that people deserve every dollar the earn, that doesn't answer the question of what they should do with it." Basically this is saying just you do a little thing, for example opening a door for someone, doesn't they need money. Also it is saying that people who do get money, they go and blow it on something they don't need. So basically thats what I think on billionaires.

Current Connections #2
STOMP OUT BULLYING!!
People get bullied more and more every day, but do school officials, parents, or peers even do anything about it? When you see a child getting bullied, what is your response? I don't know about you, but when I see an innocent child getting bullied, i stand up for them.
People don't think about it, but bully's mostly target: Kids with disabilities, Kids who have family problems & kids who aren't very social. In this article by a Florida official, this is a perfect example of how everyone doesn't take bullying very seriously. In this article it states, “For months, 18-year-old Stormy Rich witnessed a girl with special needs being bullied by her peers on the way to school.”They would be mean to her, tell her she couldn't sit on certain spots on the bus...just because she doesn't understand doesn't mean that should be happening to her," Rich says she reported the incidents to the bus driver and school officials. When they didn't take action, she stepped in and confronted the bullies; but instead of being praised for her efforts, Rich ended up being labeled as a bully." You may think differently, but i believe that Stormy shouldn't have got punished at all. She was just standing up for the girl with the disorder that was getting bullied.
Next time you get bullied, report it to the bully hot line; 1-80b-ully. If you are ever a witness to a kid/child getting bullied, do something. How would you feel if it was you getting bullied? Not so good, right? So, if we all team up, we can all stomp out bullying.

Narcissus Image
The man in the image is Narcissus from the myth The House of Cadmus. In this image, Narcissuas the ma who is looking into the pond is loving in love with him reflection. " Oh, ye aisled wood was ever man in love more fatally than I?"( Paragraph 435) In this he is saying had anyone been madly in love like I am? To prove my inference Narciussus is falling in love with himself, and he doesn't even realize it.

Current Event
What happens when two
divas stop being
polite and start
getting real? Mariah Carey and Nicki
Minaj being judges
on American Idol. This is
a great idea,
because it allows artists
these days to
help people chase their
dreams and give
them advice. It also bring out
the worst and positive
side
of
judges and how
much the know on
what they will do
in their life.
I can relate
to this because I judge
people all the
time, I mean I don’t
mean some of
it and I try not
to do that! Which that brings the bad
side of me out! Another
way that I can relate to it because when I help people who want to
try out for
cheerleading or dance I
have to judge and give them advice to go home and
work on what
needs to be fixed. The purpose is to get across is basically
you can do whatever you what to
do if you put your
mind to it and nothing
is going to stop
you or get in your
way! Where I
get that from is
that artists are trying to
help people to reach their dreams do and not just
theirs! Was anyone trying to
get their point across in this
article?
I think so
because they provide enough information why and
why not! I
think that this is
great because it allows new
judges to help
people and meet
you people and also
that the show
will have someone new to judge so
that it won’t
be as boring. There is nothing really that I can disagree
with because I like how they are doing it and what they have done on
the show so far!
I understand why did
they pick Nicki
and Mariah I mean they are
very good but
would you think
they should have modest
people on there showing people what to
do on there.
After reading this I hope you
get across on how I fell about what I fell on
this article.
