I thinkj the type of motivation Liebman gave was one of scaring the person into doing the right thing.**

12 Year Old Murderer: 1) What is this article about? Summarize the information presented in this article in three or fewer sentences? I think this article is about; levels of maturity and how to react to mistakes made with-in each level. In this article I feel like she showed one extreme of this problem. But, I think Stephanie Chen was still trying to prove the point that certain things, such as murder is, and should be, taught as a bad act that should not be committed. 2)**Who is the audience for this piece? Was it written for a general audience, or a special audience? And how do you know? (ex: specialized vocabulary? Type of publication?) ? I think the piece, __12 Year Old Murdere__r by Stephanie Chen, was meant to get sympathy for Jordan. This is because she writes things such as "At the time of the slaying Jordan was chubby fifth-grader with dark brown hair and an energetic smile." To me this subtly implies an innocent portrayal of Jordan. She also never comments on things Jordan has done bad, which he obviously has since the boy is human, she only mentions his good untarnished 'all-american boy' reputation and how shocked everyone who knew Jordan was about the incident.** 3) **What was the writer’s primary purpose in writing this piece? Please choose one of the following: The writer’s primary purpose was to inform; to persuade; to entertain; or to motivate. I think Stephanie Chen's primary purpose in writing this piece was to persuade; I believe she was trying to persuade the public to either completely dismiss Jordan's actions or to form the opinion that Jordan should be tried in a juvenile court. Chen says in the article that ' ' Jordan is still unable to grasp the magnitude of what is happening to him.'' This sentence uses very bias language such as still, saying still makes it sound like people have continuously tried to explain to Jordan what is happening and he just cant understand as if this boy is naive and unable to pick up on obvious overstated things. She uses this language throughout the article.**

Superman and Me: question 1 -I believe this article is about struggle; the struggle to find out who you are, what you love and how to maintain it. The article __Superman and Me__ by Alexie Sherman demenstrates his own life and how he had troubles too. It talks about the way books greatly influenced his life and the way you should cling to something you love. He talks about the prejudice whites had toward Indians, the stereotype that everyone believed and the process which he tried to break free from using books to remember it was worth his efforts.

questions 1 and 2 - __The Superman and Me__ by Sherman Alexie is aimed toward poverty stricken areas, I also believe Alexie wants to give people the hope that their life can be better in the future and giving them the inspiration to succeed. The reason I think this is because he is giving hope and saying if I can break free, so can you. Alexie says hopeful and encouraging things such as,  A little indian boy teaches himself to read at an early age and advances quickly. But he also shows the children that the are smarter then what people give them credit for as in, They struggles in basic reading during school but could remember a few dozen powwow songs Alexie goes on and says, they were monosyllabic in front og their non-indian teachers but could tell complicated stories and jokes at the dinner table. This tells the kids that they are much smarter then they realize. To me this article is full of inspiration, hope and believe.

Symbolic Story
A: The amount of time the author spends on this scene and the way she brings it up repetitively in the text mekes me think that having two engagements at the same time importanr. B:I think the author ; Sarah Dessen, drew attention to the engagements because it sets up alot of the story and lets you get a taste of what the main charecters life is like. C: I think her generalization was wise, because i fell she needed to stress family, engagement and love in her story. If i were to make these into a cut out i would put love as a heart, family as 2 people looking at eachother angrily with a line through it and engagement as a wedding ring. This is not the place for texting lang.

** About De onate Voki ** My Voki represents my explorer by showing slightly older clothes that to me give a representation of the 1595 time era in which he lived. To me I displayed his Spanish heritage by showing his dark hair, tan skin and brown eyes. I showed one of his major contributions by showing water in the backround, his contribution I chose to represent is being the 1st to cross the Rio Grande and starting a colony. The colony is represented by the people on the shore line by the water.

 * UTOPIAN SOCIETY **

What is a Utopian Society? These societys are often thought as an ideal society to live in.Everyone has differant views of what a utopian society is. One most commonly known is in which the world has no problems and everyone gets along. But this is not what everyone wants in there Utopia some may want some challenges or competition in theres. There are many utopias for many differant things such as religous Utopias or a science Utopia. All of these Utopias are considered Utopias by differant people for differant reasons. To me there is no difinant way to create a Utopia that pleases everyone. I believe that people may idolize one certain way of living but no one truy agrees on what that lifestyle is.
