Michael Jackson's Ceremony

Michael Jackson’s musical legacy was remembered at the first annual “Michael Jackson Immortalized Day.”  Jackson’s children attended the star-studded event at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. The King of Pop’s three children pressed his famous moonwalk shoes, sequined glove, and their hands into the cement of Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Paris Michael’s daughter used the sequined glove from her dad to put into the cement. And the brothers used the shoes to make the foot imprints for the Hollywood Star. There was also an unveiling of a recently discovered cement block with Michael's hand and footprint complete with autograph. This cement memorial will keep the memory of Michael Jackson and his children alive forever. I think that ceremony for Michael Jackson is very important and special because Michael Jackson is the king of pop, and he was very loving, caring, and kind to his children and to his fans. And by doing this ceremony I think that he will always be remembered to everyone in the world.

Joe Paterno

Joe Paterno was an American college football coach who was the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions for 46 years, from 1966 through 2011. Joe Paterno died Sunday of lung cancer. He was 85 years old. The last few months, a child sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant coach overshadowed his legacy. On Sunday night, thousands of people, nearly all of them students, gathered outside Penn State's administration building in a solemn candlelight vigil. To the students on campus and football members Joe Paterno was a great person and a great coach. For example Mckenzie Wilson one of Joe’s football players said “I think, because we lost not only the best football coach, but he basically built this college. So it's tough.”

Based on what people said about Joe Paterno I think he was a very hard working person and someone who loved his players and his job. I also think that Joe Paterno’s death was very sad, and that he was very dedicated to his work and because of him getting fired he took to heart and died. But because of his love and care Joe Paterno will be remembered as one of the best college football coach for the Nittany Lions at Penn State University.

Cracking Teenagers' Online Codes

In the article named "Cracking Teenagers Online Codes by Pamela Paul it talks about a women by the name of Danah Boyd who research on teenagers. She talks about how parents and more strict and discipline on teenagers than back in the days. She also mentioned that teenagers need to be able to explore the Internet more, because by doing that they are able to talk to an adult or a counselor. According to the article a teenager girl who has been sexually molested by her uncle has nobody she can talk to in her hometown might benefit greatly from communicating with a counselor online.

I think that this article is a very good article because she helps parents to understand that teenagers need to explore the Internet more and they need to be less strict on us. I also think that this article help parents think about the type of world it was before and the type of world it is now, to determine weather are not it has become better or worse. 

Break Ups

The main idea of this article is talking about unhealthy and healthy relationship break up. This article is called Teaching Kids How to Break Up Nicely, by Benoit Denizet-Lewis.

In this article they talked about how people use Facebook and change the status to break up with their partners. For example a 15 year old girl fearned that her girlfriend of two years had dumped her only when she changed her relationship status to single.

I think that breaking up with someone on facebook is very disrespectful and rude. The reason why i think that is because it is not right for some to break up with someone on facebook. Breaking up with someone on facebook is for people who are scared and don't respect their partners or them self.

Osama bin Laden

One of the biggest stories of 2011 is the Death of Osama Bin Laden. Osama Bin Laden was one of the world’s most-wanted terrorists for nearly a decade, ever since a team of his al-Qaida followers carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Bin Laden was shot dead by one of the raiders, and within hours his body was buried at sea.

Osama Bin Laden was long believed to be hiding in caves, bin Laden was tracked down to his hideout not far from a Pakistani military academy.

According to the cbs news President Obama said, "Justice has been done,” in a dramatic announcement at the White House.

I believe that Osama Bin Laden deserve his death because he was one of the most devastating criminal on American soil in modern times and the most hunted man in the world. Another reason why I think he deserved his death is because was running for years and hindered in any meaningful leadership role.
