          For our first exam I would have to say it was not that hard. Every question that was on the test you pretty much went over with us. You also gave us a review sheet so we could study on our own. The review sheet really helped a lot. Many teachers do not give them to us they just tell us to study because we have an exam coming up so I was relieved that you gave us one! My boyfriend helped me prepare for the test we made flash cards and he helped me study when ever I got one wrong he would start all over again. One thing I would do different for my next test is study a little more I don't think I studied enough. Everything that you told us that was going to be on the test was there but I didn't know how to answer some of them because I was not that well prepared.

We also had an acre of land so it was pretty big. Soon after a month or two the boxing ring was...

          "Charles Blow, in his essay "Library Visit, Then Held At Gunpoint, published in The New York Times, stood out to me because, it got my attention it interest me with the first sentence I read. I understood what Charles Blow was arguing. He was defending his son. Even though the cop did not touch him he pointed a gun to his face when he followed all his directions. There was no reason for him to get is gun out. Charles Blow says,"Why was a gun drawn first?Why was he not immediately told why he was being detained? Why not ask for ID first?" All these questions he asked were real helpful for me to understand what he was trying to prove. Another thing Charles Blow says is "Now don't get me wrong if indeed my son matched the description of a suspect, I would have no problem with him being questioned appropriately. School is a community, his home away from home, and he would have appreciated reasonable efforts to keep it safe. The stop is not the problem...
