Today we talked about the hostess company going out of business. They went out of business because they needed to drop everyone pay by 8% but no one wanted to do that and they went on strike. So the managers and the head people of the business is shutting down. But I wont be surprised if another company buys out the hostess products like the twinkies and hohos to sell them again. After that discussion we continued watching the movie and what interested me is that when they interviewed a factory worker at China she said that she would want to be a reporter and her life is being wasted at the factory she works at now.

Today we were watching a movie about the republic of China. It is a very interesting movie because it shows how cheap the people of China work for and how desperate they are to get those jobs. It is crazy that People in China do hard labor work and they only get 4-5 dollars a day!! When in the United states are minimum wage is $7.50 per hour! Now I know why a lot of american company have Chinese workers make there stuff so they can sell it for cheaper to make people want to buy there product. I am not surprised anymore of why there have been so many students from China come to our school. Not only is it hard to live in China and get money it is hard for families to pay for good education. The people who come to America are very fortunate because a lot of Chinese people cant.

Today we went over are quiz that we got back today on world leaders. Turns out I aced it which I was really surprised but glad because it bumped my grade up to a 91. Then Mr. Schick told us that the missiles being shot back and forth from Israel and the Gaza came to a ceasefire. This is very good because when the president of Egypt came things got settled so hopefully this ceasefire will last for a long time.

Today in class we had two shadows and one of which i have seen before. His name is Zachary and I have seen him at wrestling tournaments before. But anyway we went over some more world leaders and two facts about them. Then we talked about Obama and some things about him. Like him being the first black president and was a senator before his first election of being president. So he had a job to fall back to if he didn't make the election which is pretty smart. Just like Mitt Romney vice who also sent in a application to be one of the house of Representatives if they didn't win which they didn't.
