10/28/11 behavior

Some situations in which I have had to adjust my behavior is at professional concerts in which I have had to stay quiet and be respectful and try not to talk to my peers. I had to change my behavior in this situation because it would be disrespectful to not do so.

10/26/11 renovating the civic center

After reading this article my view on this topic did change to that we should reject this renovation. I have decided to reject it now because in this article the writer has provided mass amounts of evidence that shows that the renovation is a bad idea. One example is that apperently instead of 33 million dollars payback it would actually be 55 million, and based on many other pieces of evidence it doesn't seem that it is worth the money to renovate it.

10/24/11 children using guns

I do believe we can still let children handle firearms, just as long as they know how to handle and use the weapon. If they do not know how to do so then I think they shouldn't.

10/20/11 seasons

My favorite season is fall because I enjoy the nice foliage and cool crisp air that fall brings. I also enjoy fall because I like the holidays in fall such as Halloween and Thanksgiving. Lastly I like fall because of the sports in fall like cross country, and basketball.

10/18/11 the lottery

This story is about a small village in which they host a lottery the person who wins the lottery is to be stoned to death for good crops in the summer. The time period seems to be maybe in the 1600's or the 1800's or even in today's time.

10/14/11 culture in grovers corner and southportland

Culture in Grover's corner influences personal belief and behavior similar to the way it does in south portland because education in both of them has influenced people to either go further in education or get married right after being done with education.

10/12/11 George

I disagree with this statement because I feel you should be fully educated and have a job before you even get into a marriage and I feel that education is more important in the long run.

10/7/11 Obama creates jobs

I agree with Obama's thoughts on creating jobs because they provide work and repair important things at the same time. Doing this could be a pretty good method of building up our economy but I believe that there is most likely other greater possibilities to raise our economy.

10/5/11 casino and racinos

I would vote for question 1 because as shown 59% of the population of Biddeford wants the racino to be built and it would provide jobs as well. Although all together I would like it better if there was no gambling at all.

10/3/11 aspect of culture

One aspect of culture that impacts the daily life of Grover's corner is that once most people graduate from high school they feel they are ready to become married and stay in the town. As a result most of the towns people are wedded young and stay inside the town, making it only a few families in the town because they do not leave. This aspect of culture does not impact the culture of most in south portland because most kids go off to college now before getting married and few stay in their home towns.
