Yes, I think that we should still study William Shakespeare’s work. In order to find another way to write literature in English class, it should be in the curriculum for the high school senior, or for high school, in general.

I mean, sure, the way Shakespeare would have the old-english way of grammar is pretty boring to most students. It is a pain to read, but I still have to get through it, as well as everyone else. We as students still should get to know the real roots of English literature; in Shakespeare; and how it has changed through time.

I support this statement by Sartre. Back in the old days, America's founding fathers helped us through what we needed under British rule. They stood up for what they believed in, knowing that this freedom that we know today would be useful for the future. It’s now what we use whenever we have something to say, whenever we want to express our feelings and our displeasures to the world around us. We’re very fortunate for this privilege we have today and so we shouldn’t abuse freedom in any way.

Obama/Biden '08.

I'm really favoring Barack Obama, and it's not just because he's an African-American, like some others would favor him by. Which is all good, don't get me wrong, but I also side the view points he proposes, most notably, education.

Whenever I watched the Presidential Debates between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain, it really sounds like Obama actually stresses on the faults on the education time period we young Americans are going through. College is a lot of money, people, we'd have to have someone who wants to get the problem of paying off school loans, etc. so that it would be a whole lot easier on families. Other countries around the world are well advanced and well educated, and farther down the road of the main subjects of Math and Science.

Mr. Obama wants to change that situation.

He wants this country to change like no one else has done before.

He wants us to change for the good, the positive, and the righteousness of all Americans and their needs, particularly the middle class. McCain, in my eyes doesn't seem to really hit it home on the subject of education, as well as some other issues that are puzzling us all.

This is why I'm supporting Mr. Barack Obama to becoming the next President of the United States of America.

For me, I think being well respected would take me or anyone else farther than to best if I were to be wealthy. In the long run, I can feel great with myself being respected, because it makes others know where I stand on caring about someone feels than just probably being a stuck up snobby person with a lot of money. Though that is a stereotype, there are a select few that do that kind of thing. All that money can be here one day, and gone tomorrow, while being respected; if you keep up the way you act towards anybody you'd meet, then that would be cemented with you for eternity.

That's a good point.

I think it's better to be a little bit of both. For me, personally, I'd rather be loved a lot more than being feared. Like Coldplay's song, "Viva la Vida", Chris Martin (lead singer) says, "...Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes..." I like that lyric, because of it's meaning. In the heat of the moment, if you're feared by someone, you probably are going to "feel the fear", the intimidation, etc.

I'm just not the type of person that would love to be feared upon. I wouldn't want to harm anyone in anyway, so why would I want to be a sight of fright?

It's needed b/c you don't know when someone's up to at any given time; whether it be during passing period and students are all around, or when class has started and a person's in the hall. Probably they could be trying to pull a prank and do some elementary-type thing a do the old fashioned "fire drill" trick or God knows what. Although, some other students might feel insecure about the whole thing; it's normal, but it's just for safety, and I'm fine with that.
