Citizenship

I think 95 year old, Leeland Davidson should be a U.S citizen no matter how old he is. He fought in World War II for our country. I think that if they deported him would be wrong. He is 95 years old and will be passing away soon. I think they need to get everything situated out and make this him a U.S. Citizen! He didn't do anything wrong to us he fought for our country and could have died for us! I think it will be wrong if they deported him I mean come on he fought and could have died for us!

Japan

I think that the Tsunami is a terrible thing and it is sad that people got killed in the earthquake and people have gone without power after the earthquake struck. I think we can help by sending food and money to help people out. I feel really bad for all the kids and faimilies that lost there loved ones. I think everybody should send things too them and help them out. They have lost everything and it would take many years for them too get it all back. There are millions without power,food,and water. Everybody should help them out. They have been through a lot.

His dad Bernard was also an alcoholic and never wanted too see him until he was drunk beating on the front door wanting to see him. This is all i know so far because I have only read chapter one.

Civics

Civics is the study of goverment and politics.
Civics is where you learn how too pay your taxes, voting, registering for military service,
serving on a jury, and obeying the law.
Civics is the study of rights and duties of citizenship. In other words, it is the study of government with attention to the role of citizen as opposed to external factors in the operation and oversight of government.

Genre

I would like to make an action game because I think people will be more interested if there were more action games. Action games are more fun then answering questions to a Social Studies game and action games can have lots of learning facts as if you were answering questions for a Social Studies game. There are all kinds of genres like action, adventure, puzzle, strategy, sports, racing games, and many more. I enjoy playing alot of games but I think that action and racing games are my favorite.

Five Years After Katrina

Five years after Katrina hit the city people are still homeless to this day. There were families that would scrounge through things for supplies. They would also cram into there relative's apartments. Until they have discoveref that the FEMA had trailors for people too stay in for a while. Also, the FEMA had sold some trailers too people and also let people stay in them for a while even if there wasn't enough room.
Soon later a co-founder of the St. Bernard Project which was an organization that helps rebuild homes in New Orleans. People would take little jobs too try too support there family and try too get a house. Soon residents in New Orleans are able too recieve a maximum of $150,000 too rebuild there homes. There was people living in houses that only had insulation in them. There was also houses that had drywall in them that would ruin your health. People would soon get houses on there property's or relative's. Pretty soon 40% of victims of Rita and Katrina had flood insurance. But after years with Road Home for funds, they successfully recieved a grant for enough too buy themselves a new one-story home.
