I hope these are better!
Prompt #23 Weimar!!
Wow, what do I say? There’s the good and the bad. Should I stick with the positive or go with the negative? Well, since I am in a good mood I will stick with the positive.
I have enjoyed being at Weimar even though it has been a huge change for me. I am a small town girl with a big city background. I have been homeschooled all of my life until this year. I really appreciate the staff being understanding about my lack of knowledge in some places especially in Algebra II. (Thanks Mr. Boyd) Mrs. Greenfield has been a great friend and is always there when I need her. I have made friends that will last forever. I love my job at the cooking school and I love meeting the patients at NEWSTART. Everyone is friendly here, though some are not as polished as others. Anyways I thank all of the staff for their hard work for teaching us and putting up with us. I really do appreciate it!

Prompt #24 What is this problem really about?
My opinion on this debate about the Islamic School is that is is about religion, not land. Land may be part of it, but because there is such unpopularity against Muslims it is about religion. The media has played a part in us as Americans thinking that all Muslims are bad. I personally believe that Islam is a bad religion, but all Muslims are not bad. The extremists are the ones that we usually hear about but they fall under the category of all Muslims.
I would vote no. I vote that because if they expand, the school will become bigger and the influence would be wider. More people would be inclined to become Muslim instead of Christian.
People need to stop being prejudiced against people of strange or bad religions. Rather we need to show them a better way of life in Jesus, not Mohammad. This will solve the problem.
