I read and article called Apple Shares Plunge on Consumer Spending Fears on the Los Angeles Time newspaper By Michelle Quinn a Los Angeles Times Staff Writer written on September 30, 2008. It talked a lot about how much money they are losing because of our economy. Right now Apple is not going very well few consumers are buying there products. If our economy stays like this many more people will lose their jobs. The prices aren’t looking very good either they keep sky rocketing. That just makes consumers not want to purchase things right now because of the prices. Many families are having difficulties with just trying to support there family and it’s hard for them with food, housing, clothing, school materials for their kids. “Apple's decline, which came after two brokerage firms downgraded their ratings on the stock, knocked $20 billion off the Cupertino, Calif., company's market value. Its shares reached a 52-week low of $100.59 and closed at $105.26, down $22.98.”(Michelle Quinn). The meaning of this article is to explain the things that every business is going through and it won’t get any better. Our economy is hurting very citizen in this country and we have to prepare for the worst.

An article I have read recently was on The Orange County Post. The article’s tile is Hispanics overwhelmingly support Obama survey finds by Jonathan Randles on September 18th, 2008, 12:23 pm. Basically what this article is trying to say Hispanics are trying to look at the outcome of this election with Obama it will be better then with Mc Cain. Obama will provide more welfare for them. A main idea is not by just hearing what you want to hear doesn’t mean you will receive what your expecting. This election seems very interesting because everyone has there own opinions and what some changes to this countries. By reading the article it mention that 55% of Hispanics go for Obama, 11% of Hispanics think Mc Cain is better, and 44% there is no difference between both candidates. The author didn’t really prove the thesis he is just stating the facts on the percentage of how many people go for which candidate. I agree with what he said because what I have been hearing is more people going for Obama because not a lot of people are taking chances on election Mc Cain. I like the piece except the comments on the article seemed offensive.

Codi & Hallie

Codi and Hallie have some similarities and some differences. Codi is more lost, afraid, curious, forgetful, and caring. Hallie is more selfless, adventurous, attractive, and sensitive. Codi and Hallie are both smart and caring.

Codi is lost she doesn’t really know where she’s going and doesn’t know a lot about her past. Also about she didn’t know that her dad knew what she did about her miscarriage pregnancy and then she started telling her dad and he knew already. She is curious about her past trying to find out about herself and finding out more about her mom’s death.

Hallie is adventurous she left her family and went on with her life. She is sensitive, but at times she can be selfless. One other thing is that she is attractive and any guy that is with Codi basically prefers Hallie and that’s one thing that bugs Codi.

Hallie and Codi are both caring and smart. Codi shows that she is caring by saving the puppy. One thing that she did that shows that she is caring is that she left Homero and he has Alzheimer, but she came back since his in need of help. He forgets things as time goes by. They both remember there memories when they were younger Hallie reminded Codi saying “remember we found those abandoned coyote pups, and the river was flooding”. Codi is caring she really loves her sister even though people think Hallie is better than Codi and she really doesn’t like that. They both have their differences and similarities, but they still care about each other.

Adjective Paragraph

SHY
There are many things that can describe me, but one that completely describes me is shy. I'm a very shy person I'm not really that talkative. I'm those people that easily get embarrassed and nervous. In class I don't really try to raise my hand to respond to the teacher because I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong. I especially dislike when teachers put me on the spot by asking me a question when I don't even know the answer. I get this feeling that the teacher is about to pick on me since I haven't said anything in the whole class period then that's when I really get nervous my heart starts beating faster and I feel like it's about to rip out of my chest. When people talk to me I try my best to let the conversation keep on going, but I guess it really doesn't work out for me. Many of my friends tell me Gabi say something you're really quiet. Even though I know I'm shy sooner or later I will breakout of my shell and not be as shy as I am right now.
