Final Exam part 3

I think that parents should give their child a set allowance every week for the benefit of a child learning more about finances. I think when a child has the ability to some freedoms at a young age it can help them later in life.   Personally I did get allowance when I was younger and I do believe now that that has taught me things about when I really want to or need to spend money. As most children would as soon as I got my allowance i would want to go buy something for myself because it made me feel important when I could spend my own money.  When my parents then took me to the store it made me realizes that I might not have all the money I need to buy this toy so I had to save up which today I do. Being able to save money is really important. Another lesson that can be taught is that is the child does want to buy unnecessary items that the parent does not think is reasonable you can make them purchase it themselves. They can also learn the value of money and about ...

Final exam part 2

Yesterday morning by around 10 a.m. Cyclone Victor hit the Solomon island Honiara shore with wind speeds of 140 kilometers. "It was a fast developing front that we could not have anticipated any faster," said Nadi Weather director James Jones.  "The storm had sustained winds of 140 kph and was classified as a Level 4 Cyclone"  As the storm ripped through the island Police chief Marianna Adams watches all the devistation before her eyes.  "It was pretty chaotic for a few hours there when the storm hit the community,"said Adams. " It could have been worse but the emergency shelters established three years ago after Hurricane Kilo gave our people a place to hide."  By midday the Cyclone had passed over leaving six people dead and 18 severely injured. The mother of one the victims is very upset. "We are devastated that our son, Frank, was killed," Lisa Ramos says.  "He was returning home from a vacation to Australia when the...

We then...

Self-Critique

Dean Fuller, Kay Fuller Dana Fuller In 1982 Dean Fuller and his friends Steve Irwin decided to go on a hitchhiking trip across America. They traveled from Texas to Florida where they were picked up by Dana Fullers mom Kay Casar. They spent a fun Weekend with them and continued to travel up to New York then back through Florida and asked Dana to come to Texas with him. 20 paragraphs  898 10 direct quotes  Three people  “On the flip side I also new I could have a great time wherever I was with money or not. Hitchhiking just gave me a feeling of confidence in myself and my abilities.” The quotes is located at the end I think it is pretty interesting I would like to improve on it but i do not know how. I think Steve Irwin would have been a great person to interview I think one or two of the transitions have a bit of opinion in them. No I think it is all pretty well explained. I would say a 90-92 based on a little grammer

Current events 3.1

Sean Foley and Andrew Nestor so public land can be used for public use since republican leaders had wanted him to get rid of the overly broad protections. to keep up with inflation and competitive pay for staff members Oklahoma baker mayfield, Louisville Lamar Jackson, and Sanford Bryce Love I would like to see Wonder since I have read the book before. Long Response Trump's tweet regarding the firing of Micheal Flynn is wrong because before he ad hard facts or new exactly what to say he went on the internet and exploited the whole situation. He should have figured the whole situation out before publicly speaking on the act. Then when he knew what all was going on and when to say it he should do it in a more presidential way such as a press conference not Twitter. I think Trump had a good idea of what was going on with Flynn before the firing, but maybe did not know all the details completely yet. Just like Trump always does he ay have waited until the situation was m...
