1. The Pope's speech held heavy on liberal stances, but in particular he urged that money not lead the decisions of humanity. This was a pope's first speech to Congress, and by nature, extended to the whole nation. He addressed very often-spoken issues, and it seemed to be a very modern speech. However these issues have also plagued us since the nation had begun. The death penalty, for example has been hard-fought over."He was invited by House Speaker John Boehner, a proud Catholic Republican from Ohio"
2. At the UIL state executive committee hearing, a broad difference of opinions exist in quarry that the incident was triggered by racial slurs. Mack Breed has been banned from coaching in a UIL-sanctioned activity until he attends a hearing, while the students have been placed in alternate school for 75 days before they can return. Motheral said he was frustrated that the three main accused didn't appear before the hearing.
3. The leveling action of a sixth-grade teacher from Maplewood Elementary has sparked protests from more than 5 dozen parents who gathered in front of the school Thursday morning. This action was started in an attempt to relieve over-crowded 3rd grade classrooms. However this action has cramped 6th grade into only one class of 30 students whom have varying needs. A similar protest at Bryker Woods was successful last Friday.
4. A democratic official asked the attorney general his opinion if the new "open carry" taking effect on Jan. 1 will allow holstered firearms to be carried on school and other district properties. Whitmire said that school should have the ability to ban open carry in outdoor areas, and they are banned inside school buildings, but as an alternate interpretation, he says parking lots, sidewalks, and driveways are not considered a part of premises that ban guns. Paxton offices have 180 days to offer a non-binding legal opinion.
5. President Obama and Vladimir Putin will be meeting in New York for a discussion on the Syrian war. The president believes it is his duty to try to progress relations with Russia and to attempt to stabilize the region. The article covered some of the issues well, although I felt the dumbed-down wording was a bit hard to read.
EXTENDED RESPONSE:
The obituary details his accomplishments in life, what he was most famous for, how he affected everyone, and highlighted some of his great moments. As a very well-known figure, this obituary detailed his life, and extensively reported on the details of his career, childhood experience, and achievements. However, input from his family, like many obituaries was few and far-between.
------------
Obituaries seem to be a straightforward way to understand if a reporter can accurately collect information, however they do seem to be a very hard topic to write upon. I as a student might get quite bored very quickly if I wasn't a fan of that person.
Excellent job. 100.
