Bellringer 5/9

I think it's a good idea to have a movie in a town like this. It's best that they do it somewhere where they don't think it's going to happen, instead of a bigger city like we see in movies...

Bellringer 5/8

I don't think that she should be taking it this far for them denying her freedom of speech. She just wants attention and the whole thing is just stupid.

Bellringer 5/6

I don't care that cemeteries refused to bury the bomb suspect. If people won't let it happen then it shouldn't happen and I'm sure that there is a reason for that. They need to take him back where he came from and bury him.

5/2/13 Assignment

Three boys were charged with obstruction of justice because of the items they have that were Tsaanaev. They were withholding evidence that could have made a stronger case.

I think the boys are being charged with the right crime because they were hiding laptops and things from a bombing.

They should have done the right thing and thought about what they were doing a little more and maybe this wouldn't be happening. They were close friends with the suspect.

Yes, inaction is a crime as long as there is an ability and opportunity to act towards the situation.
I would have turned the boy in before I even thought about it. I would've been really scared. It would be the right thing to do.

I can't believe that they're just now letting blacks and whites go to the same prom. It's unbelievable that they were making invitations for two different proms because they weren't allowed going to the same one. I really don't see the big deal. I'm glad the students took matters into their own hands.

Bellringer 4/25

I don't think wearing a strapless dress is a big deal, unless a girl is showing more cleavage than she should be. It's kind of crazy that the parents were the ones complaining and the students weren't. I understand that they would be mad if they had already bought the dress, but it says that kids weren't allowed to wear strapless dresses before. I'd just say they didn't care about the rules and thought that they'd get by with their kid wearing a strapless dress to the dinner. A lot of girls like wearing strapless dresses becaauses they are a lot prettier than one with straps, but it's also not hard for them to wear something to cover up their shoulders.
