The reason i write is so people can understand any thing that I can't come up with on the spot. Like if i need to explain something to some one i could just write it down and they could read it at their own pace instead of me explaining it too fast to them and them not getting the right idea and do something wrong. Because you can all way look back at what someone or yourself wrote down. You might forget the things you sometimes say but if it's written down you can read it and remember to do something like take the task to the curb, or take the dog out for a walk. but writing isn't just for when yo need to remember something it could also be for if you have no other way to express how you feel you can write it down and it would relive the person's stress. writing also can be for entertainment reasons like for a play or for a movie you write for just about anything. you write in every class you are in. you write to keep notes and and keep track of score

I write not only to fill the void of creative feeling in me. I write not only to inspire others but my inner self. Those reasons are not what they are but they mean and they mean what i write. The foundation of life is originality for without that there would be no other creatures. The wolf would be looking for cows and the snakes would be playing with mice but no thats a message. We are not like the things of this world and for that we create our own language. We use these scribbles we call letters to express a  in one bottling up to  pure chaos but that is not in humans personas. No we are creatures of force so we force the fabric of time into our hands hoping that time doesn't pass of by , but thats all a part of the great race of the races i do not win but lose. see i do not run but i walk thinking about the next step in the future for when it comes to it all we can do is think and wonder. My children's hands will be mine incarnate opening feeling the stroke of a pen a wait in the dirt hoping that one day a feathers mark will appear on the sun and the world will not be many but one. Our ideals will morphs into a creature of pure insight and we shall not try to despise this being but become part of it. For in the dark there is always a ray of light waiting for you to seize it but not with a holding mine but with a open heart. The essence of writing is not set in stone but it at least can be written on it. All you have to do as the creator of this piece is imagine your life as a ship on the ocean and you see your horizon line. Writing is not a action but a gift from god. thats why i write. 

I hardly ever write by choice, I've tried keeping a journal but only filled out a couple lines every few years. I write when my teachers tell me to. When I write, I prefer to write based on prompts, because I can write most effectively when I write about something I remember or my opinions. I hate writing papers where it's my job to convey my findings of an experiment or teach people something that I learned on the internet. I usually hate writing in general, but sometimes that's not the case. When I wrote a vignette, a snapshot from my life and the events surrounding it, learning something new about the world, I loved it. I loved the writing process, I loved how the words flowed together and I was proud of my piece of art, my writing. When I wrote about another moment in my life, a moment that gave me another deeper understanding of life that I will forever remember, I loved it. Seeing the words come from me and reading them with a sense of almost awe, I realized that writing isn't all bad. In fact, sometimes it's great. I could have stopped in the vignette, left it a certain length and edited what I had already, but instead something compelled me to write more; I needed to give my story the telling that it deserved. Paint a picture on the canvas that is the minds of others using words as my paintbrush, and put them where I was when I lived that part of my life. Make them feel the emotions I felt, think the way I thought, have them relive a part of life that they had never lived in the first place, and give them the experience of it being their own. I write not for my teacher, not for myself, but for the world, for any passing wanderer of the internet to see my work and live my experience. To share something that otherwise may never have been shared. To leave humanity with a part of me.

Why I write?....
 
Sometimes I write because I am forced. Either for a journal prompt, an essay, a project, a letter, e-mail that has to be sent and various other things. Sometimes I write to get my feelings out. If I need to just write down something instead of saying it to people or spazzing out on people, for a lack of a better term. I write because it can be helpful. You can say anything and the pen, pencil and paper won't judge you or say anything. IT helpful sometimes just to have quiet time just to relax a write. Sometimes I write because I have to write the homework down for a checklist so I know what work I have to do. Sometimes I write because my computer isn't working. There are times I want to write and times I don't want to to write. But either way forced or not, I write. No matter when I write, I always feel like I writer even if I think my writing is bad. This is why I write.

I write because it makes me happy.
I write because it's how I express myself.
I write because it's apart of who I am.
I write because it takes me places.

If you was to ask me,
I just gave you my answers.
If your still confused let me say more.

I was stuck on the moon with only a pencil and notebook,
I'll write my way back to earth.
Get it ??

If you don't I'll put it in this prospective,
If I was a artist,
I'll draw my way back to earth.

When I write I get this joy in my spirit, 
that tells me everything will be alright.
Don't judge me,
When I say,
"Writing is fun."
We all like different things,
So we can't I like to write.
Don't judge me,
When I say,
"I nearly failed English last year."
Don't judge me,
When I say,
"I can't write a paper."
Just know I write for fun.
Not when it's required.

I hate writing essays,
but I love being creative when I write.
I can't write about a world event,
But I can write about my day.
I can make up people and give them everything.
But I can't write about somebody real and what they have.

Anyways,

​I write because it makes me happy.
I write because it's how I express myself.
I write because it's apart of who I am.
I write because it takes me places.
I write because it's inside of me.

​Writing is creation. Unless, of course your writing what someone else wrote, then it's just copying. But if the question is why I write, the answer must be the need to create. Creation is the son of adapting. Adaptation is a basic, yet complex part of being human. Writing is a form of creation. Let's recap: Writing is adapting. Usually the motivation to write is a teacher or the promise that good grades equal better money. All in all I very seldom find myself writing for myself, writing for my "now". 

I write because it helps me to express my feelings by typing or writing them down on paper. 

I write because although actions speak louder than words, words sometimes can make a difference in life

I write because sometimes written humor can brighten someones day

I write because I feel free to tell a story to and audience or myself

I write because through these words it explains who I am

I write because when I write, I write for myself not for others

I write because things that are written down show proof, rather than speaking with hear say

I write because it's a way to empty your mind when stress takes over

How would it be like to ask someone in spanish, what's the weather like? It would be kinda cool right... well if you wanted to you need to know some key things about weather. One you always say hace right before you say the weather like for ex: you want to saw its hot you will say hace calor,or if you want to say its cold you say hace frio. Another thing you would need to know is you need to play close attention to the pronouncation. Another thing you need to know is when you want to say it's really hot you would say, hace mucho calor, or if you want to say it's really cold hace mucho frio.

​Why I Write

 

Expressing myself is hard enough

 

To say it out loud is really tough

 

Thinking what I say will be so bad

 

Worrying about if people would laugh

 

Figuring out what to do

 

How to get my words out for people too

 

Homework assignments easiet thing

 

Writing down my own words to say

 

Only thing I can do is write

 

Scared of the wrong I might

 

What to do when I can’t speak

 

Will my words I say get the best of me

 

Afraid of embarrassment from my peers

 

Now I just write down what you want to hear

 

Why I write is a question that I need to answer

 

Why I write something I can’t answer

 

Because I write for many reasons

 

My writing changes more then the seasons

The purpose of me writing this monologe to my video was to get a sense of the other side of the whole Keystone XL pipeline. Some people like the workers and the people who this might effect may have a different view then the people who are promoting it,so what i did was I made a news cast and interviewed a worker and also interviewed a citizen on the way they felt and what were their thoughts.Hope you feel the same way..Enjoy!

Dear Mr. President

My name is Carlita Rodriguez. I am a latino-American in Austin, Texas. There hasn’t been much work available, let alone for a latina in a border state. The Keystone Tar Sands would provide much needed work and a healthy income for my four year old daughter and I. It would also significantly improve the economy for other Americans. If the Tar Sands were built it would also help others like myself find work. The only problem is I have to think about my daughter’s future.

The pipeline would emit pollution just like any other pipeline. Since the Tar Sands are a pipeline that means that they will leak. If it were to be built, the pipeline would run over a fresh water source, now rare in America. Some believe that it would be “Game over” for the environment. Its not so much a concern for me, but for my daughter. I know that I might not live to see the negative results of this project, but I couldn’t rest knowing that I was a part of my child’s environmentally instability.

Honestly I really need the work, but the price I’d have to pay would be too much. I vote no for the Tar sands project. The environment is to much of a price to pay for a little more energy.

Sincerely, Carlita Rodriguez

To know the greeting in Spanish, and be able to use them, you need to know how to:

-Say hello in Spanish
-Say goodbye in Spanish
-Say good morning/afternoon/evening is Spanish





The Spanish word for hello is Hola. If you were to greet your friend in the morning, you might say "Hola!". You could aslo say Buenos dias which means good morning. Other greetings include:

Buenas tardes- good afternoon
Buenas noches- good evening.

Here is a video of someone asking for directions in a Spanish speaking country.

When you want to say "hi" to someone in spanish and ask how they are doing.
-How to say "Hi" in spanish
-The different ways to say "How are you"
-And Goodbyes

There are many ways to say "How are you doing?"

- ¿Qué tal?
- ¿Como esta (Usted)?
* You say this when your speaking to someone who is in a higher or more authoritive position than you are.
-¿Como estas (tú)?
* You say this when you are speaking to a friend or someone who is in the same range as you.

Hola- Hi
Adios- Goodbye

Two hispanic people meet up with each other and greet. They say "hi" and ask how each other are doing. One says "bien" while the other one says "muy mal", after they end the conversation with "Adiòs!"

​Constitutional Question: The case of Florence V. Board of Chosen Freeholders of the Country of Burlington was followed with a question from the Supreme Court, the question is “Does the Constitution permit the government to strip search every person admitted to a jail, even if there is no reasonable basis to suspect that the person has hidden weapons or contraband?” In another word, does the Constitution have permission to violate the fourth amendment to follow security order and to investigate minor Crimes.

 

Facts of the Case: A citizen named Albert Florence from the state of New Jersey was arrested on a bench warrant from Essex County. Florence was charged from the arrested for non-indictable offense and not capable to pay a fine. However, Florence argued for his rights and protested the validity of the warrant due to the fact that he had paid the fine. However, after his arrested and detention, the charge was, in fact already been dismissed.

During the arrest, Florence was stripped and search as subjected to a visual body cavity search during his arrival at the Burlington County Jail. From the time of his arrest he was being consume to visual body cavity search and after six days upon his transfer from Burlington County to Essex Country Correctional Facility. But soon after, the charge against him was dismissed and Florence was released.

However, Florence decided to bring a civil rights lawsuit to the United State District Court and to the District of New Jersey for claiming the right to his privacy and the rights of all persons in the class of alleged minor offenders of consuming in the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.  Also the Constitution were violated the Fourth Amendment by strip and search a visual body cavity searches for a minor arrest. This District Court agreed to Florence request and his claim to the charge.


Summary of the Arguments before the SCOTUS: The Court pointed out the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1979, which stated “Inmates do not have the right of privacy in prison that is guaranteed to ordinary citizens.” This is to protect the process from unreasonable violations to any citizen’s privacy. The Court decided to applied one of the cased called “Bell v. Wolfish,” which were also involved visual body cavity searches for being arrestees including charged with a minor offense and was striped and search.

The Court decided to apply the rule of the Third Circuit panel that was persuaded by the recent Eleventh and Ninth Circuit that ruled balancing the jails’ security concerns. These circuits are –

(1) The detection of smuggling weapons, contraband and drugs into the facility.

 (2) The identification of gang members by observation of their tattoos.

(3) The prevention of disease, particularly MRSA, against the privacy interest of the arrestees, a blanket policy of strip searching and subjecting all arrestees to visual body cavity searches, irrespective of any particularized suspicion, does not contravene the Fourth Amendment. 

 

Prediction: Since the Supreme court had involved in a similar case and was pass with the Bell v. Wolfish, this case probably will be done with more of a complex explanation by the judges and the court. However, since this case is being reenact, Florence V. Board will not be abandon by lawyers because the Fourth Amendment was violated for Florence, which also was prohibited in the Three Circuits.

 According to Philadelphia.Gov City Council website the person that represents me is Anna C. Verna who runs the district of number 2 that includes Center City, South, and South West Philadelphia.

 

My legislator Anna C. Verna would have voted on my issue in the past of curfew with it being a lot stricter. According To City Council City Of Philadelphia Life Liberty and You it states that she has be a strong supporter of curfew centers therefore should would want the curfew law to be more enforced then what it is now since teens get out of hand after being told what to do.

 

My representatives and I have in common that the curfew should be a lot stricter then what it. Teens should not be out late at night and ruin it for the people who don’t do anything at all. As previously stated from the first blog A first violation of Philadelphia's curfew law will result in the imposition of a $250 fine and/or community service. Parents are held responsible for the actions of their teens.  The fine for the first offense of breaking curfew is $300 and up to $500 for the second offense.

 

 

 

 

President Verna main policy was to make sure Philadelphia was well protected and making sure the needs were meet She is  involved with a lot of stuff. For example She has been a consistent supporter of wage and business tax reductions while remaining firmly committed to public services.

Anna C. Verna community is interest is making sure that they live by her ways in the past. such as hard work, perseverance and integrity. She is a very powerful person who tends who made sure that they people’s needs were being met.
