                               Boston Bombing Massacre


In the artcile " Parents Say Bombing Suspects Are Innocent" David Herszenhorn tells hoow Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaeva parents believe that their children are innocent in the Boston bombing even though all the evidence is there. He also talks about how the suspects mother regrets living in the U.S because she believes the U.S took her children away from her.

This article includes beliefs and denying from the suspects parents. The suspects mother Ms. Tsarnaeva believes her son Tamerlan was captured alive and shot during a shoot out. She belives this because pictures were on the web of a naked man with similar looks to Tamerlan being arrested the same night as the shoot out. She thinks that the police took him and killed him out of anger. She also believes that they shouldn't have killed her son the should've just sent him to jail.

I believe that the youngest brother Dzhokhar should seek the death penilty and not recive proper treatment in the hospital which he is right now. I think instead of just dying right away he should suffer like his victims did. I also believe that the parents of the brothers should be sent back to Russia right away because there no telling what the would do to seek revenge for the death of their one son.

This article reminds me of the things any parent will say to deffend their child even if they knew that they were guilty. I wonder did the parents know about the bombing before it happened and just won't admit to the F.B.I because there affraid they'll seek the death penelty next.

In the article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels tells how poachers come and kill elelphants for thier ivory. Elephants are becoming more extinct because they're getting killed off. Elephants are gardeners for the rain forrest, they spread thier seeds all around helping plants grow.

This article Samantha says how there is a sickening stinch in the elephants rain forrest. The article is also saying that poachers shoould stop killing elephants for their ivory because they will soon be the cause to the end of the rain forrest. The elephants are whats keeping the plants and trees growing because of their seeds. Also when the elephants are killed the baby elephants are left without mothers and will soon starve to death.

I believe that poachers should stop killing elephants and if they are caaught they should be put in prison for life for murder. Ivory should not be sold anywhere because who ever is selling it is supporting the killings of elephants. 

This article reminds me of poachers that kill bears and other animals for their fur. This should become illgal because they're still killing animals. I also believe people who wear fur should take partial blame for the death of animals.



In the article "Super Bowl: BeyoncĂ© ‘Louder’ Than Michelle Williams & Kelly Rowland?" Elanore Hutch talks about destinys child reunion and beyonce out singing Kelly and Michelle.  She also talks about singer Keyshia Cole going on twitter talking about Michelles voice. Their split up was also mentioned.

This article includes a quote from Marc Malkin who believes that Beyonce got someone to sabatoge Kelly and Michelles voice. Thier performance was supposed to be a secret and both kelly and Michelle denied they were going to be performing. Everyone was excited during the performance and would like destiny's child to reunite so some have different opinions,


I believe that beyonce did jeoparadize kelly and michelles voice during the performance. Beyonce likes to be the center of the attention and doesn't want anyone else to take her shine. I also think that Keyshia cole should of mined her business because she does not a good voice herself. Destiny's Child should NOT because Beyonce will just take all the shine.


This article reminds me of these girls I know. When they're together one wants all of the attention and the other two are jealous. They're not that close anymore and since they're not everything has been better. There is less drama around.

In the article "You May Now Kiss the Computer" Sarah Maslin talks about how Punam Chowdhury married her fiance of the internet on a computer. She also talks about other marriges tha happened over the interent. 

This article includes a quote from George Andrew of "Proxy Marriage Now!" who believe that people who do proxy marriage are immigrant frauds or use it for other reasons. Those reason are to get around local laws like those in israel and other countries who doesn't perform mixed religion marriages, couples that live in different countries and same sex couples. In some states same sex marriage is now legalized.

I believe people should not marry over the internet and have a traditional wedding. When you get married over the internet it's not really like you're sharing that special day with your partner because you are not there to kiss eachother and hold hands. Family should also be around. But for the israelian people and people from other foriegn countries should be able to marry over the internet because their religion is very judging if they have no internet wedding there will be no wedding at all. Same sex couples should also be able to marry over the internet.

If "Proxy Marriage Now!" believes that immigrants are doing marriage fraud why wont they stop marrying them?

In this article "Sister in Arms" James Dao talks about women joing the military and being half as strong as men. But also being scared when its time to pull the trigger and  kill.

This article includes quotes from woman who are in the war and their opinion on how it is being a woman in the military. Sergeant Persall says "I didn't sit around thinking, I'm a woman; I don't think I can carry this gun; i feel when the bullets were flying the men didn't care that I was a woman, as long as I was pulling the trigger." The article also talks about the physical strength in woman so they can perform certain task. For instace walking miles wearing heavy armor and carrying packs that weigh 100 pounds.

I believe that woman should be able to sereve in the military because they should be able to do the same things men do. Some woman are stronger than men and can do things better than them also. just because the are smaller and feminen doesn't mean you cant kill someone else.

This article reminds me of my cousin. Everyone in my family believes that woman shouldn't join the army or military but she thought different. She went and joined and has been there for 3 years and she says she's stronger and wiser than half of the men there.

Body Art means everything, that's why I  have it.
Me dunking was my first tatto, I lost count of the others I have now.
I actually hated tattoos, I told myself i would never get like this .
But once I got one I was addicted.
My mom cried when she saw her face on my chest, it was the best reaction i got from someone.
It's been painful but not an issue.
Birth and death dates on my wrist.
In the process I thought of what to get next. 
I get to the tattoo parlor, I know what Im going to get
"Through The Fire"
I've been through hell.
For me it's a life style!

I chose this article from nytimes because I am very interested in tattoos and I think are good to have because they bring back memories and symbolizes something you believe in. My poem is telling how tattoos are important to J.R Smith and how its been painful getting them but his tattos mean something. The point my poem makes is to do anything you want to even if it's painful along the way. Creating a found poem was very interesting and easy because in the article I found very powerful words in this article and that made it easy to put together a powerful poem.

When Will It Be Over?

In "Kim Kardashian offered $10 million to Kris Humphries to settle divorce?"  hindustantimes and hollywoodlife  talks about Kim trying to settle her divorce with Kris Humphries to marry  Kanye West. Kim offered Kris $10 million  to sign the papers but he will not sign until Kim admits that their marriage and her show was a fraud. He also wants her to admit she was lying about her fertility.

The article includes quotes from Kim talking about her fertility problems  and how its a miricale how she got pregnant by rapper Kanye West.  It also tells that Kim thinks Ex husband Kris Humphries is only doing this to prevent her and Kanye's wedding.

I believe that Kris should just sign the divorce papers so Kim can leave him alone and he can stop beimg bothered with her. He should let Kim move on with her life and be with her unborn child farther. He needs to get over the fact that they were only married for 72days and she used him.

These articles remind me of my own uncles wedding. I think his wife only married him for his money and never loved him. Other people in my family also belive thats why she married my uncle also but my uncle never belive it until it was too late.
