Moral Education

I believe that the parents are the ones who are responsible for their child's moral education. They have seen their child grow and they have been with their child for as long as they have been born. They teach their child the most simplest things in life early in life. They teach what is right and what is wrong. One of them being that stealing is wrong. Not only that but the school is also responsible for the child's moral education. They also teach the simple basics of life in school such as murder and stealing. It is not like they don't teach it in the school.

Thank You Ma'am by Langston Hughes

This story is about Roger, a little boy, who tried to snatch an old lady's purse. The purse was so heavy that when he broke the snap of the purse, he fell down. The old lady grabbed him and told him that he shouldn't be doing things like that. She dragged him to her house and told the boy to wash his face. He washed his face. He had a chance to run away since the door was open but he decided not to. Then the lady asked him if he was going to have supper and he said no. So the lady decided to make him supper. After he ate, the lady then gave him the ten dollars to the boy so he can buy his blue suede shoes. All the boy can say is thank you and he left the house.

“The Story of an Hour” by Kate ChopinStudy Questions

1. The story says Mrs. Mallard “had loved him [her husband]–sometimes. Often she did not.” If she was “often” not in love with him, why did she marry him?
She probably didn't have a choice. During those times, women were socially obligated to get married and have children. She probably felt this way
2. What was life like for Mrs. Mallard in the home of Brently Mallard?
She probably had a life that she wishes she didn't have. She probably didn't love her husband to the full extent as she has probably dreamt when she was a little girl.
3. In the report of the train accident, Brently Mallard's name was at the top of the list of fatalities (Paragraph 2). Does this information mean that Mallard was an important citizen in his community? Does it also suggest that perhaps Louise married him, in part, because of his standing in the community?
She probably did because she probably wanted to be financially stabled and not worry about not having money for food or clothing.
4. Do you believe Brently Mallard mistreated his wife? In answering this question, keep in mind the following: (1) In Paragraph 13, Louise Mallard recalls that Brently was kind and that "he had never looked save with love upon her." (2) However, Paragraph 8 had previously informed the reader that Mrs. Mallard's face "bespoke repression," and Paragraph 14 says Brently had a "powerful will bending her."
I don't think he mistreated his wife in the fact that he hitted her but I do believe that he was probably a controlling husband and controled her every move. He made sure that his wife did everything a wife should do such as clean and cook.
5. How much of Mrs. Mallard's apparent unhappiness in her marriage was her own fault?
Not that much. I think it is Brently's fault that she is sad because I believe that she tried to keep him as happy as possible.
6. After Mrs. Mallard receives news that her husband died in a train accident, she goes to “her room.” Do these two words mean that she slept separately from her husband? Does the fact that no children are named in the story indeed indicate that she and her husband slept apart?
I don't think she had her own room. She probably shared the room but since she thought he died in the car accident, she probably named the room hers now.
7. Research the life of Kate Chopin (1851-1904). Then decide whether the death of her husband in 1882 influenced her when she wrote “The Story of an Hour,” published in 1894 in Vogue magazine.8. Did author Chopin herself face problems similar to those of Mrs. Mallard?
I dont think she faced the same problems. She probably did but I think she didn't show it that much.

Story of the Hour

What is the main idea?
The main idea of the story is about a lady who is married and they tell her that her husband died in an accident. She was in the house when her sister tells her that her husband has possibly died.

Was Ms. Mallard's grief real?
No her grief wasn't real. Her sister thought she was griefing for her husband since she locked herself in the room but in reality she was with joy.

Was Ms. Mallard happy? if not, why?
She wasn't happy because she was in joy. Maybe, it was because her husband wasn't treating her how she wanted to be treated or maybe her husband was controlling her.

Domino Effect

1.How is the "domino effect" affecting the global economy?
It is effecting our economy because it started with the lending out money to people who don't have money to pay and now they haven't paid back and we don't have any money.
2. What caused the U.S. housing crisis?
It started out by lenders giving high risk loans to people with low incomes. The people couldn't pay their loans back so the prices of the house dropped.
3. Why is the cut in consumer spending a serious pr0blem?
It is a serious problem because now the people are going to make fewer merchandise since people aren't buying.
4. How is less spending affecting local and state governments?
It is affecting the local and state governments because it has made a drop in the sales tax revenue.
5.What trend does expert Brian Sack predict for the economy?
He predicts that this economy is going to be an hard one to come out of. That also it is hard to avoid a recession.
6.What have the world's key central banks done to stop the crash?
They stopped lending to each other. Britain was forced to rescue many of its banks, spending $865 billion.

What do you think was the most important contribution of the Mosaic Templars in the U.S? Why?

The most important contribution that the Mosaic Templars achieved was offering financial protection to the fellow blacks. Not only that but they also offered burial and life insurance. I think this is the most important contribution because I believe everyone needs some sort of health insurance to be healthy. They can do their daily checkups and not worry about the expensive bill.
