Did we land or did we not??

The question of the day...did we land on the moon or was it all just a setup? Today in class we learned that anyone could make a website and post it to the web. I think how anyone could make a website and post their opinions is really cool. Many people do have some pretty cool things to say, but saying this not all of it is true. The Internet can be very deceiving if you are not aware of websites that are just bologna. This one website that I looked at was talking about how we did not land on the moon and that is was just all a hoax. I might have actually believed the website if it looked more professional and not like someone who all they have is free time to work on it. (but if you think about it if they did have all the free time in the world it would look a little better). haha The website did not even have great images. It made me feel like I needed to put some glasses on to see the pictures clearly because they were that fuzzy! Nope, sry website author but you did not persuade me today maybe if you fix it up a little but, wait, i mean a lot, then maybe just maybe I could be persuaded.

It is happening in America, but it is also happening to its People


Today our final draft for our topic proposal was due. But last Wednesday I had a conference with Tess Evans my English teacher. In her office we talked about my topic proposal. My topic is sex trafficking of women. She started to explain that this topic could be written about in many different ways. For example, I could talk about how trafficking of women is done in asia or I could write a whole paper just on the ways governments are trying to stop it. The way I am going to go with my paper is that women are being trafficked in our neighborhoods all across America and on the other side I will talk about how American women are being tricked into being sex slaves in other foreign countries too. Tess Evans was the one who brought up the idea of American women becomming sex slaves in other countries. The conference was very helpful!
