Gun Control

Gun Control- Political Events Article

            I read an article written by David Brooks from New York Times titled “Respect First, Then Gun Control.” He basically emphasizes throughout the article that rioting and marching is not the way to initially end gun violence. He states that we need to respect one and other first and that we trust each other with guns and show respect to gun owners. He also agrees with the fact that we need to stop stereotyping each other (reds and blues/ republicans and democrats) and that we need to come together and clear air to avoid more conflict.

            Personally< I totally agree with Brooks. I think we need to learn to trust each other with our guns before we even talk about gun rights. We need to come together and understand both sides so we can come up with a solution to this problem while we continue to respect each other. If we just march, hold up signs, and argue literally nothing will be accomplished. It’s about time we come together, that’s what America is about…


            I chose this article mainly because I find the authors’ ideas to be completely valid and reasonable. I totally agree with what he says. With the recent school shooting in Florida, it made me think about my topic on gun control. So, I decided to go to a much-considered credible source (The New York Times) and go further into this. I enjoyed this process.

    I agree with you that we should stop the riots and consult with each other to come up with a solution to end this conflict. I also agree that unity is what America is all about and this conflict is keeping up from that.

    I also think we should respect others and that will ultimately end to gun violence in the future. Wonderfully explained, great post!

    You made very strong points that support your topic. People should just trust each other with guns than jump to conclusions. You did a great job of describing each point the author made and backing it up with your own beliefs.

What are you grateful for?

     As I grow older and the years go by, I notice more and more how good I have it. My parents have worked really hard to give me the life I have. I am grateful for the fact that I am able to go to an extremely expensive and great private school, a thing a lot of kids can't say. I have always gone to private schools with good education and staff, making my learning experience better than a lot.      Another thing I am grateful for are my friends and family. Anytime I need people to hang out with or talk to I can go to my friends and family. They are both always there for me no matter what. Imagine how boring life would be without friends. Imagine how unstable and bad life would be without family. They are two very great things.

Strengths and Challenges

     As writers, we all have our strengths and challenges. From quotations to organization, people do some things well and they do others bad. As a writer his year I've noticed that I am pretty good at coining together quotations, citing them correctly with the write format, and using the most effective quote I can. I noticed this in the research paper when I had my conference with Dr D. She said that I embedded my quotes really well and that I used pretty effective quotes as well. But, I didn't have the greatest feedback on everything...      One thing I struggled with as a writer this year is my organization. I haven't always been able to put all my thoughts onto a paper while also being able to organize them correctly and put everything in the right spot. Back to my research paper, I didn't put all of my categories in the most effects spots possible for them. I didn't coin them together super well, which was a problem. As I move onto sophomore year, I hope to g

Free Post: Thanksgiving Day

     One of my favorite times of the year, Thanksgiving. My day started off with waking up to the smell of turkey and all kinds of other foods. I went downstairs into the kitchen where my mom was cooking. She made me go back upstairs because I had to take a shower and get dressed and stuff. When I came back down I talked to my family and watched football until dinner was ready.      As the day went by, my God Family visited to come spend the day at our house. We ate and then sat around the table and talked. Then we played some bored games and chilled. We watched more football and caught up with each other. It was a great day.
