Reflection::
The person interviewed responded okay. They didnt go into detail where I needed them to. But we can still get a good idea of their opinions. Their answers are saying that they are an active member of their society and they try to keep up with the candidate as much as they can in their spare time. Which is good because some people dont keep up with their candidate and end up voting for someone who changed their belief. The change by the individual is reflected when the people have different beliefs than them. And how their talk about "change" could either be truthful or lies. But all the society can do is vote for whos best and see if they follow through on their talk about "change."
The Enivronment: Global Warming.
Global warming is the increase in the ocean and near surface temperatures. Global warming is caused mostly by humans. We humans are adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases into the air. Global warming is bad. There isnt a positive side to it. You can look at it every which way but you will probably ever find a positive side to global warming. Mccains view on global warming is that we shouldnt be wasting time trying to figure out a timline for it. But that we should be trying to take care of the rising temperatures and waters that it brings. Obamas view on global warming is that we should take agressive action NOW. He believes that global warming is one of the greatest challenges our generation has faced. y opinion on global warming is that we should try to fix it but its not a BIG problem that has to be fixed right now. There are more important things in the world to worry about than global warming. Should we be trying to reduce it? yes, but it will be a lifelong process to end global warming. We should be worrying about global warming in about 2 or 3 maybe even 4 years from now. We should still be reducing it until then but aty the moment there are more important isusues on hand. We should be worrying about war than anything else at this day and time. In better words global warming isnt as bad as most people make it sound. Their OVERexaggerating.
nuclear weapons
Nuclear weapons are explosive devices that is powered by "fission"(the splitting of a nucleas of an atom.) The create really really big EXPLOSIONS. They can cause MASS DESTRUCTION!!!!!! Nuclear weapons cause explosions which kill people, children, animals, and trees.The explosions they cause also blind every living thing within a 10 mile radius in every direction. John Mccains view on nuclear weapons is that we should never use them again. He believes that we should be able to deter and attack with regular weapons not nuclear weapons. They cause to much damage to the world. Obamas view is that we need to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He also says that if hes elected he will ban everyone from producing nuclear weapons. My opinion on Nuclear weapons is that we shouldnt evem have them. We made them knowing that we werent supposed too. Nuclear weapons kill people! Do you think thats what we want. In my opinion Nuclear Weapons are unneeded, and unwanted pieces of junk!! Im against nuclear weapons. Whats the point of killing living, breathing animals and people when you dont need to.
Off shore drilling
off shore drilling is when they try to get resources such as oil out of the shoreline. Off shore drilling effects has alot of risks for our enviroment. It could cause oil spills and many other dangerous things for our enviroment. There really isnt a positive side to off shore driling except we get more resources than we usually have.
Now that you know what off shore drilling is. I shall tell you what the presidential candidates have to say about it. Mccain supports off shore drilling as a "short term sort of thing." He sees it as a way to lower the rising gas prices. While Obama sees off shore drilling as something that makes no sense. Off shore drilling cannot help with the rising gas prices because it could take a very long time to find oil. From these facts and opinions i have found my own opinion. I am against off shore drilling. Because we are ruinin g our enviroment by drilling when it cant even help us till 10 maybe 20 even 30 years from now. In better words were wasting our time doing something that doesnt need to be done. Think about it this way: "why waste time doing this when there are other better more important things to do?"

Republican Party Collage
Republican Collage Reflection
My collage reflects issues in the election that McCain supports and opposes. It shows how he is for gender and age instead of race. It also shows how he keeps saying change and we just have to listen to him and hope he isnt lying. It also shows how McCain doesnt want to hire 100,000 new teachers. The republican party promises us change but will we ever get it??
Democratic Party Collage
Democratic Collage Reflection
This collage on the democratic party shows how they propose change. It also shows how they believe that we wont get change from McCain and that we should vote for them. This reveals how Obama is all for race unlike McCain who is all for gender and age. It lso shows how he supports border security and other things. From this collage we can get that the democratic party is almost the exact opposite of the republican party.
Reflection on Political Cartoons
From the first political cartoon i wrote about to the last one i wrote about i believe i have improved. The first cartoon I wrote about i had a lot of mess ups in my writing. I didnt really know how to write a topic sentence and an ending sentence that go together. But by the last one i was writing good. The political cartoons we have done have helped a lot on understanding politics and understanding how to interpret things.
Political cartoon #1
Political Cartooon #1
The republican party is being looked down upon and questioned by the democratic party. There are 2 people in this cartoon. One of them is putting up signs on their old shack that say McCain '08. This is exposing that they are wondering about him because he may be lying but they are also supporting him no matter how many houses he owns. Because that's not what really matters. The other person in this cartoon is sitting in a rocking chair and saying "If McCain is such a regular man of the people then how come hes got all them houses and we ain't got but two?" This is saying that if McCain claims to be regular like the rest of us then how come he has a lot more than we do. From this cartoon we can get that no matter who you are, where you live, or how rich or poor you are your opinion counts just as much as the next persons. Wee can also take that it doesn't matter how much money each candidate has. What really matters in the end is what they believe in and what you believe in.
Political cartoon #2
Political Cartoon #2
The media is saying that you have to be male to run for president or even help run for president. In this cartoon there is a picture of Obama and under his picture it says "Transformative, Historic chance to bring to Washington." This is saying that since Obama is male he can run the country better than Palin could if she had to step in for McCain. The other part of this cartoonhas Palin's picture except someone drew a mustache on her. Under her picture it says "Transformative, Historic choice to bring change to Washington." This is saying that the media believes that to be president you have to be male. From this cartoon we can take that the media is being very sexist twards Palin. We can also take that it doesnt matter what gender you are dont let it stop you from winning the race.
Political cartoon #3
Political cartoon #3
The presidential candidates are lying to americans just to get the vote. The first thing seen in this cartoon is McCain in a cane that is holding a block that says lies on it. McCain is sayong "this one is to somewhere." This is stating that McCain/Palin are telling so many lies to americans that they dont know where they go anymore. The next thing seen is Obama in the corner saying "quite an infrastructure investment." This is showing that Obama doesnt think lies are a good investment. From this cartoon you ca take that the candidates have told alot of lies and that it isnt safe to believe them.
Political Cartoon #4
Political Cartoon #4
Th people of America are showing their rights but are also facing challenges. The first thing seen in this cartoon is a man standing in front of his house holding a flag and saying "im not evacuating im planting this flag in the ground to symbolize my Texas Independence and self reliance." This is saying that he can be independent and he doesnt need anyone to tell him what to do. The next thing seen in this cartoon is the same man with a sign saying "HELP! NEED RESCUE!"This is exposing that Americans need guidance and that we should listen to presidential help. From this cartoon we can get that America needs guidance and that we cant always be independent.
Political Cartoon #5
Political Cartoon #5
The truth is being covered up by so many ls that it never gets the chance to come out. The first thing seen in this cartoon is a man lying in the middle of the road. The shirt he is wearing says the truth on it. This is showing that he represents the truth in the presidential race. The next thing seen is the dialogue bubble over his head that says "I never had a chance McCains bus hit me from the right and Obamas hit me from the left."This is exposing that the presidential candidates are telling a lot of lies and they are trying to keep them coverd. Also, this shows that the truth could never make its way to the voters because everytime it gets close to coming out its pushed back down. In conclusion to this cartoon the candidates are going to end up getting caught in their own lies when the truth does come out.
