Why So Rough?
Many people in the u.s. don't notice that the united states of America has more people in jail then any other country in the world. I asked my uncle a question, "
Do you think the U.S.A. will ever change?" He said " Never. Its up to the people to change first." Also ,most people don't change after coming out of prison or jail. So a quarter of the U.S. population is in jail every year. Jail is a sentence to change. It's a punishment that most of the time doesn't work. I've asked my cousin if he thinks the U.S.A. will ever notice this. He said "It will take some time, but they will notice it." So I also think the U.S.A. will change . Some people don't think the U.S.A. is good. "Part of this is true" says my second cousin. So that's all for this essay. That is basically what these three people have to say. Also each of them are former convicts.

Thanksgiving Essay

I agree with president Clinton's because it is true. Teenagers these days are killing other teenagers just for a name brand jacket or designer sweater. I also agree with president Clinton because if our schools are wearing school uniforms we should sooner or later stop the madness. I also chose this answer because in "Say no to school uniforms" they talk about how a school started to wear school uniforms because the head board thought it would change the students' behavior.
I also would like to point out how some families cant afford school uniforms, I mean school uniforms aren't free. That's probably why kids are killing other kids over a $200.00 coat. It's probably the poor kids that don't have enough to pay for a $200.00 coat. That is one reason why kids kill other kids.
I would like to also point out how some kids that kill other kids are in a gang or posy, but that's another topic. So technically president Clinton's statement was correct.Most people that don't agree with president Clinton's statement are probably just against school uniforms.
Finally I would like to tell you that president Clintons statement has supporting details and he explains why this fact is important. He says how the kids kill there on peers and he tells
how it is important, he says that it is the reason kids do vandalism inside the school so the board makes students wear schol uniforms. That is all I had to say about president Clinton's statement.

If I can interview anyone I would interview people that have been in prison before. I would also interview some witnesses that have or had a family member or friend that has been or is still in jail. I want to interview these type of people because i think these people have a good understanding about how the USA has more people in jail then any other country in the world. I would also like to interview these people because they probably have a good understanding to what I'm saying,how important it is and finally how serious it is.
