It can soar through the air at great speeds,
This thing a lot bigger than beads.
Hitting the palm of your hand,
And bouncing in the sand.
Flying over the fence,
But only costing a couple cents.
Coming in all the same size,
Getting hit may cause you to cry.
Getting through all the different weather,
This thing is made of leather.

What are -------
Creepy crawly hairy things,
They can be black and brown,
It lives in dark places.
They sometimes live in trees
They can be squashed easily
They have eight legs
They can eat bees
It can fly by its thread
What is this creature?

The ___________
It attracts you with its beauty,
It attracts you with its smell.
It is round and full,
And gives your mind a pull,
Towards its beauty,
But just from it's outside-look,
Most people never know,
That such harmful things are hidden,
Only the victims realize that truth,
But it is already too late,
What is this attractive creature,
That claim many victims today?
It attracts you with its beauty,
It attracts you with its smell.
It is round and full,
And gives your mind a pull,
Towards its beauty,
But just from it's outside-look,
Most people never know,
That such harmful things are hidden,
Only the victims realize that truth,
But it is already too late,
What is this attractive creature,
That claim many victims today?

BC Elections
Over the last two weeks, our class has been split in groups to search the pros and cons of each party including Conservatives, Visions, Liberals, and the NDP. We have made ads and posters to advertise each campaign for the Student Vote Election. I have researched information about the Liberals, Visions, and Conservatives even though I was only supposed to find information about the Visions. After days of researching the parties above, I would totally vote the Conservatives.
I voted for the conservative because I liked their beliefs and promises.The Conservatives believe in personal responsibility, free marketing, aim to have a death penalty, and a limited government. The Conservatives wanted free marketing to produce more economical growth, more jobs, and higher standards of living. More jobs would mean more people getting hired. Higher standards of living can give us,citizen and villagers, a more prosperous future. They didn't go against the death penalty because they thought the death penalty is fit the crime of being a murder by taking an innocent life. It like the saying a life for a life. Personal responsibility is extremely important. It is the responsibility of your actions, accepting the consequences of your actions,and understanding the impacts of your actions.

The Conservatives opposes to same sex marriage. Going against same sex marriage will recognize the protocols and licenses of it in other states. Also same sex marriage violates and messes up the religious beliefs of millions of Jews, Christians, Muslims, and others ,who believe that a marriage is a union of a man and woman. Also if religious people who believe a marriage is union of a man and a woman see a same sex marriage , they would think it would be okay to have a same sex marriage.
To include this composition, I agree with the Conservative campaign group. They have all made great points and reasons why the deny or agree with something. They will give us more freedom and build a more peaceful society. They will give us the freedom to pursue our dreams but will expect a individual to solve our own problems.
Election Post Reflection (1st Topic)
I have been researching a lot for the past few weeks to gather pros and cons of all election parties. I am not eligible to vote yet because I am too young but if I was able to vote, I would definitely go for The NDP. On this post, I will explain why I would vote for NDP instead of other parties.
The NDP focuses on economy and people. They increase hiring for government jobs which shows that they are more worker friendly. In fact, one of the members in the NDP party used to be a bus driver, so he knew the feeling of waking up at 4 a.m. in the morning and working until late night, only to earn a tiny quantity of money. If that member knows that feeling, then he would realize that there are tons of people out there who are currently working that hard. That NDP member would share the tiring and painful feeling of working for 15 hours and earn just around 20 dollars. So let's look at it this way. If there is a guy who experienced how hard it was to live poor with barely any money in the NDP, he would try to make poor people live life more easier. Also, the NDP aims to raise minimum wages to catch up the living for poor people especially people with no jobs and homeless. To fix that, the NDP is lowering taxes for small businesses and they are also wanting to bring affordable daycare and shelters for homeless. That idea sounds really brilliant to me. I once volunteered to clean up a lawn beside a church. It was more of a garden because it was just around 5 meters in length and 3 meters in width. My job was to pull out weeds, ivy and other harmful plants that suck the nutrients away from other flowers. It took a very long time. It took like 5 hours just to clean up a small garden. It made me sweat with exhaustion. Then I imagined how hard and tiring this was for gardeners who clean up lawns that are around 20 meters in length and width. I wondered how hard it would be for the gardeners to do this for their living, just to earn money and to survive in this world.
<-We have to help the poor out with help of NDP.
The NDP aims to end poverty. The are willing to give child benefits for poor people. For example, the NDP would give a payment of 416 dollars per child for people with an income of 39k dollars or less and between 73 dollars and 330 dollars a month per child, to families earning less than 188, 000 dollars a month. By doing this, so much poor people would be able to live much easier. Although this benefits mostly poor people, I totally agree with the idea because the rich people don't need supports from the government. Rich people with gigantic mansions with a huge field and a limozine. Those people have everything they need. They are lying down on an expensive sofa while watching a TV show from their 72 inch screen TV while texting on their new phones. When they are all comfortable and relaxed, poor people has to keep working hard and harder for them to survive in this world just to have enough money for food. I have seen a family of homeless before. It was just so depressing. I really don't mean any offense but they were digging trash cans for food. How much had they starved? When I heard that the NDP was focusing more on poor people, I had hope in them and I wanted them to help those poor people out and really give them a chance to get a job and live their life without as much as suffering and pain.
The two paragraphs above explained the main reasons of why I wanted to vote for NDP. There were other good parts about NDP, too, but the part that really made my ears open was the part of NDP aiming to help the poor in need, give more job oppurtunities and give child support. The party that I really would vote for is none other than NDP.

Should Voting Be Mandatory?
Voting is a very special thing for us people. It is special because we get to take part in choosing what we would like in the government, for who we want to control our province for the next four years. This is a very important privilege that everyone should take advantage of because not everyone has this chance. So the question is, "Should voting be mandatory?" and be fined if they don't? My opinion is yes, because some people complain and say "Why did he/she get voted?!" even though this person didn't even vote.
I think that everyone should vote, because they've been given the privilege to have the chance to vote and they choose not to, I don't get it. I know many people are very busy with their kids and work but my parents are one of those busy people and they still had time to vote. It's not that hard to take five minutes of your day to go vote. Also I'm sure there are some people that are just too "lazy" to go vote and what good does that do to the government, they aren't helping anyone by siting on the couch. To win an election I think that the candidates should get everyone's vote so they truly won the vote to be the leader of the province. The fine for not voting I think shouldn't be too bad but enough to make that person vote the next because they don't want to pay the fine.
In conclusion, I think that people should be fined for not voting. I'm sure many other people have way different opinions than me but this is my opinion. It's a privilege to vote and people have to take advantage of that, consider ourselves lucky. So people that don't vote should vote next time, just take five minutes of your life to take part in this voting for the government.
