Practice essay # 9
Dear Mr. Mayor
Are you one of those people who would like to spend more time with your children?. Improving the life of families is difficult but I understand that giving free day care 9 hours per day to parent who have children or giving parents a small amount of money to spend more time at home with their children are difficult choices. However, I consider giving free day care for children is the best choice to improve the life of families for three factors: Society improvement, Parents worriless and children care.
Society improvement is a good statement to discuss because children always have been considered as our future. Some attention and care in parents toward children change when children are not in the right place. This also produce bad manners and conducts which people can avoid when children get special care by the time their parent work. I’m sure that giving free care for children will help to the society improvement because we are taking care about our future when children become professional as well.
Parents need not to be worried about their children, so they can also take a break of their children when they are not at home or working because they know someone is taking care of them. In fact, not to be worried make parents be more patients when they don’t stress out too much.
Society and Parents issues are important but children care is the most. Statistics are shown that children care has been an important factor to prevent children injure. We all know that children always go back and forth, so that is the moment when children need more attention and care.
According with this three factors discussed in this essay – children care, Parents worriless and society improvement – I think give free day care for 9 hours per day to parents is the best choice to improve lives of families

Essay # 8 Luis Fonsi (album)

Composition # 8 Draft # 1

Luis Fonsi: Palabras del silencio
by Salomon Sanchez
Luis fonsi is one of Latin pop's most accomplished vocalists, who born in Puerto Rico, this
kind of music is generally romantic but some of his songs are singing in salsa genere. The
album "palabras del silencio" was Luis Fonsi's first studio album in three years. He has been
released six albumes in which Comenzare was the first is his carrer in 1998.
"Palabras del silencio" has 12 songs. They are all romantic songs but one of the songs was
singed in salsa. All of this songs exress the protagonist's feeling very well. i have three
favorite songs in this album. First, I like the song llueve por dentro. This song describes the
moment when you are in love with someone and you don't want her to leave, and he feels
really bad when she is not with him, that is why the title is translated as rain inside. My
second favorite song is Aqui estoy yo, this is about a guy is in love with a girl who doesn't
even notice that he exists but he still waiting for her because he loves her. Also this song is
singed by two protagonist, Luis Fonsi and a very famous singer from Yucatan, Mexico, Alex
Sintek, The last song in the album is called No me doy por vencido. The emotions on this kind
of music seems to me amaizing because he tries to explain in this song that even when a girl
looks so difficult to catch, no one has to give up. well, unless she tells you leave alone you are
so stupid!.
My three favorite moments come all over throug the album.The story when sometimes
you don't know the girl but you think she is the right for you or what about when you really
love someone who is already in a relationship with another guy and than you became to be a
perfect loser hopping someday she loves him. Actually in all this moments the protagonist
tries to give us the good way of the situation not thinking about to take revange. Finally in
the song Aqui estoy yo is a really good song because I consider is perfect to tell someone you
love her with out words just a song.
About the whole album i would give a weak four star raiting except for the three songs i
explaned 'coz those decerve the strong five. i recomend this album to people who like to
express deeply love feeling to someone else by music. Pop music is not always romantic and
danceable but has a powerful clear meaning.

Essay # 7 Singles (movie review)

SINGLES (movie review)
The movie "Singles" was released in 1992 directed by Cameron Crowe this movie
fallows the lives of several singles in Seattle, i liked this movie because I'm 20 years old
and i identify myself with experiences they crossed through, the principal caracteres are
Steve (Campbell SScott), who works for the Department of Transport, and deals with
trying to solve the deadlock on the highways. He is trying to push through his idea for a
supertrain, that will get people out or their cars and hence chear up the congestion on the
readways, Linda (Kyra Sedwick) who works for enviromental lobbyists, she loves control
in her life yet paradoxically wants to give it up and like her state of moral contradiction,
Cliff (Matt Dilon) is a grunge musician who is the antithesis of the perfect boyfriend and
Janet (Bridget Fonda) is the woman who lives upstairs and is in love with him. Debbie
(Sheila Kelley) is an advertising executive who has a free video-dating subscription to use
up to find the perfect man.
I really love a scene when Linda is singging and she just wanted to call Steve, so she
pick up the phone to call him, later on somebody pick up the phone in the other line and
she start telling him such of sexual phrases like I need you and some others, so the guy
who picked up the phone wasn't Steave , was another guy and he said something like," i
don't know where he is but I'll be right over"
The movie" Singles" deal with rituals of single life like, Who calls who first? How many
days do you wait before you call? Who acknowledges each phase of the relationship and
when? When do you let yourself go and when do you play cool? These are the questions
that the characters soul-search about. When Cliff doesn't show up at Janet's place one
lonely Saturday night, she begins to play emotional games in order to decide what to do
(if she sinks a basket, she'll call him... no, make it two out of three... and so on).
I recomend the movie "singles" because i think the movie has scenes in which we
can feel identify with them. Also this movie seems to be easy to understand and it has
important daily lenguage.

Essay # 6 Censorship

Salomon Sanchez
November 26, 2009
Composition # 6, Draft # 1
CENSORSHIP

The word “sensor” means to delete anything considered objectionable , this usually happens when some people in imposing their political or moral values on others by suppressing words, images, or ideas that they find offensive. A censor , traditionally, is an official whose job it's to examine literature, movies or other forms or creative expression and to remove or ban anything she considers not having the right qualities for a particular person, purpose or situation. Here I will mention some of those: painting called “The Holly Virgin Mary”, song “suicide solution” and “MTV programs”.
In 1999, the Brooklyn Museum of art had an exhibition with a controversial painting, Chris Ofili, a young English painter who had African roots, made a painting called The Holly Virgin Mary, using Elephant excrement and obscene pictures out from adult magazines. Mayor Giuliani and some Catholic were offended by the painting. They believed it was disrespectful for Catholics and the Virgin Mary. Giuliani threatened the BMA that he would take away public funding if they keep the picture in the exhibition. The BMA wanted to challenge him by keeping the painting in the show. The censorship was not successful because it was against the First Amendment. Joan Berlin, the head of the National Coalitin Against Censorship, supported the BMA also. She thought that the community had the right to make the decision about what they wanted to see or not. The government is not allowed to take away financial support just because it was offensive for some of them. I do not agree because I believe that everybody has the power for opinion and expressed by themselves, so is not fair that the government tells you what you have to do.
In 1980 Ozzy Osborne released a song called “suicide solution” which is a heavy metal genre. John McCollum’s a 19- years-old boy shouted himself with a gun while he was listening to this song. John’s parents wanted to punish Ozzy Osborne for what had happened because they thought the suicide solution song allowed their son to kill himself. His parents demanded Ozzy by taking him on a court which dismissed the McCollum’s complaint holding that the freedom of speech was absolute prohibit, than they appealed again but the second court agreed with the first one that there was nothing in Ozzy’s song that allowed anyone to kill themselves. Finally the court confirm that he has the constitutional right to express any view he wants. I agree because finally that was just a song, there were nobody telling this boy to kill himself.
In the 90’s the MTV program was been subject of debate. The famous animated program called “beavis and butt-head” wake of cotroversy that followed a child bourning down his house after allegedly watching the show. The parents television council has argued that much of the censored material on MTV can be easily dicernible because of the context within where the material in question has been presented. Producers moved the show from the original 7 p.m. Time slot to a late-night, 11 p.m. Slot and scenes were removed from esisting episodes before rebroadcst. I think that evey program we watch depends from what perspective we got from it, and I agree to keep the program but not to let children watch it.
Definitely, thise three factors we disscused in this essay - “MTV programs” ,song “suicide solution” and painting called “The Holly Virgin Mary”,- are a good example too see how important is censorship in some kind of programs, songs or art. Sometimes the effect produced by tv shows is not adecuate but either when parents let their children to watch them.

Practice Essay
Dear Mr Mayor:
Let's think about what would be better to the community. Deciding what to do with funds you have gotten is not easy. Used the money on schools in bad neighborhoods or improve neighborhoods near toristic attractions are important issues. Definitely spending the money on scools in bad neighborhood in the best for the community for some reasons.
Students will keep themselfs healthy. First of all, getting a gym in good conditions. Students who like to work out ofter classes keep their mind and body health out of vandalism and focus in school. Secondly making clubs to join into a froups for sports. We can consider this kind of sport clubs like a present for those guys who like to keep high score. Finally get those places to make it posible. Sometimess what is diffucult to get is the place where students can do sport activities.
The classrooms are needed to increase the probability for more students to come. First of all, students need conputer tecnology to get their work finished at this time , one of the nost important recourses in school are computers because teachers give asigments which have veen done by internet. Secondly the enough furniture permit the students get faster in class. Sometimes students who came to class late have problems trying to get a chair from other classrooms. Finally, students need different lenses from different teachers.
