Korean War Part 2
In the
article Korean War by Choe Sang-Hun in Seoul it talks about North Korea threats
to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against South Korea and the U.S. in
Korea there was a war many years ago that resulted in the split of North Korea and
South Korea. And North Korea is very poor and South Korea being wealthier than
the North. Also when North and South Korea were at war the United States
supplied 90% of the troops. I think that North Korea feels like they want
revenge because the United States teamed up with South Korea and sent all the
troops to their country to win a war against them. Since that war South Korea
has been doing much better it’s the 12th richest country in the
world, but North Korea is doing very badly they
have been through starvation and labor camps. It seems like they have a
lot of anger toward South Korea and the U.S. so they probably feel like they should
take it out on some one. The leader of North Korea Kim Jong Un relays a message
with his American former NBA star Dennis Rodman Kim said, “I don’t want war.” If
he didn’t want war why would he threat the U.S and South Korea with nuclear
weapons. It seems like he is trying to just make it seem like he is not worried
about the U.S. so we can stop worrying about what is his next move. Also i think the new young leader is threating the U.S. is too look stronger to his people since he is new to the country.

Time for a raise
Blog:
Time for a raise
In the
article Time for a raise by Patricia Smith the main idea is basically that
Obama wants to raise minimum wage in the U.S to 9 dollars an hour and right now
it 7.25 an hour. Some people do not like the idea of the raise and some people
do. The reason people or companies do not like the raise in minimum wage is it
makes bosses at jobs have to either higher people or cut days off, the
employees will get shorter hours, and it forces them to give the other
employees raises depending on what their job is. The reasons people like the
idea of this are the more money people get the more money these people spend
which can also help the economy. Also people who don’t make that much money the
raises will be good for them because they have to pay bills and buy things that
they need, but in the same since a lot of people will not even be getting jobs
because if minimum wage is going up to 9 dollars places will not either be able
to hire you or the place just might not want to because that’s an extra person
they have to pay. In my opinion I think that this raising minimum wage to 9
dollars is not a very good Idea because a lot of people will not be getting
jobs and the goal is really for everyone to be employed if you can. I also
think it’s a bad Idea because people who do have jobs won’t get as many hours
because they have to pay a dollar and 75 cents more, and a lot of places don’t even
want to hire for minimum wage at 7 dollars and 25 cents. The raise would be
good for people who make minimum wage in a sense, but for most people it’s
really not a good or bad idea to me its neutral.

the dark comes to the light
Leroy Scott
We knew before how horrible life in the camps and ghettos was
Killing centers, labor camps, where prisoners manufactured war supplies
Pregnant women were forced to have abortions or their babies were killed after birth;
20 million people died or were imprisoned in the sites enslaved in five camps in five years
Women were coerced into having sex with German military personnel.
Dig trenches that were used for dumping the bodies of victims
SS officer murdered six Jewish children, poor children aged 6 to 12
The dogs barking in the night
This is my cemetery cruelty and slaughter of the camps
German soldiers shouting, "Dirty Jew."
I chose all these words because they reminded me of the book night that we had read in english class and this found poem shows how harshly treated all these jewish people were. The point the poem makes is that jewish people were treated very harshly during the war. It was harder than i thought it would be making a found poem. i looked up the holocaust and took lines and words from the article. i think it was pretty worth i look at like why not plus its school work.
