The plague

For quite a while during Shakespeare's life the plague was a big threat   1582, 1592 (15,000 deaths), 1603, and 1607.
The Elizabethans had no idea that fleas on rats was what carried the plague 
Take yarrow, tansy, feather few, of each a handful, and bruise them well together, then let the sick party make water into the herbs, then strain them, and give it the sick to drink.

The death penalty should be in every state

I believe if you kill someone we should kill you back that's me I'm not one for word if you do the things these people did you should DIE, after doing some thing that wrong you have no right to your life you owe the family of a victim a loved one. So in return you should lose your life if you take that loved on away. Read these death row a waiters cases think on them picture them as your loved one and ask your self would i let this @!# hole live!  

Basso, Suzanne Margaret

She kidnapped a 59 year old M.R white male and and beat him with steal toed boots baseball bats and more to his death. What would you do if this was your uncle or grandfather maybe a brother,? you would want maximum punishment wouldn't you!!
Tommy Lynn Sells

He raped a 13 year old white female and slit her throat she died. he slit her 10 year old sisters throat she lived. What if this was your daughter or sister, mother, aunt, grandmother! wouldn't you want him dead! 
Devoe, Paul Gilbert
shot 3 white females one 15 years old another 17 and the last was 49. proceeded to a white male and shot him also. What if this was your family and you came home from work and found this or came home from shopping wouldn't you want the death penalty to be used!!

These three cases show that people don't think of others and just do what they want if they thought may they're victims would still be alive today but no they they just touch someones life and someone else's love one you mint say everyone deserves a second chance but ask yourself what if this was my family this happened to my closest loved one they killed what would I want what would I DO

Book review of JARHEAD

JARHEAD    Written By Anthony Swofford 
The book JARHEAD is about when Anthony Swofford went over to what we know as “Desert Storm”, but he was there through Desert Shield and when the status went to Desert Storm. He tells you about his life in the USMC (United States Marine Corps) and his fellow Marines. He doesn’t just tell you the about the about the fighting, he tells you about his life in the desert the good the bad and the ugly of his time overseas.
              
I like the book because its not just about fighting, you read about the fun he had the trouble he gets into and much more. The book stood out for me because I’am
going to be a United States Marine. The Marine Corps Has always intrested me and this book is about the Marines and not just fighting but friendship the brotherhood of USMC.                          
              
This book would be more for teenage boys that like the military. Girls might not like the langauge that he uses.  The book is long Anthony keeps you interested by keeping you in a state of suspense of what going to happen next.

Sexual assault

To whom it may concern.
    The book SPEAK is not a porn of any type. All it does is tell you about a girl that was raped and is now going through a ruff patch. Its a life story almost not a porn, we all know the difference. You should to. This is a really good book and poeple should read the book and if its banned no one can. Mr. Scroggins Says that Speak is  "soft pornography". Which means as he read about this teenage girl getting raped he was aroused. To me thats sick. The book could and will make people more aware of rape and it is out there and does happen.


        The book Speak is a great book. Even knowing someone who was raped i still think this book is a great. This book can let people know about the subject and what people may go through if it happens to them.
                                           
 Sincerely,
ChevyMan.
