News

     In the article, al Abadi the prime minister of Iraq says that his country will defeat the Islamic State in a few weeks. He says that they will still be active in other parts of the middle east, but they will not be in Iraq anymore. They say they are doing this with the help from the American army that has been there fighting. Because of this they have been resulting to airstrikes more often which is causing the deaths of many innocents in the area. Investigations have been opened up from this.
     The prime minister also brought up Obama and how he didn't want to get involved in the fighting but was forced into it. This led to the travel ban being brought up and how the U.S. who seems determined to stop ISIS, but won't be able to if they put bans on there allies. Trump did revise the travel ban leaving out Iraq this time so that they could work together on defeating ISIS. I think that maybe they could push ISIS out of Iraq for now, but not for good. Not until people unite and bring down the terrorist group for good.

Learning

     Throughout this year I have learned much about myself. In English we have talked about many different skills that are important. Some examples are writing, reading, poetry, and being productive. For me reading has probably been my strongest area of this. With all the books that we read and the in class reading we do most mornings, I feel like I am a stronger reader.
     I also feel like I am a stronger writer. With the three papers we have written this year, and the countless blogs, like this one, I feel that I can write better now. The only part I don't feel better about is the grammar. Lastly Poetry is a big thing we just learned. It is a good thing to know about and can be enjoyable to read.

Cookies

Trevor:  What if all currency was replaced with cookies. More valuable cookies have more value and worth while cheap cookies are low forms of cash. Freshness and condition of the cookies also plays a role in the value (fresh, condition=value)

     If all the currency in the world became cookies a lot of people would be broke. A lot of people like cookies so if they wanted one they would just eat one. Basically they are eating money. Now if they were already supper rich I guess it would be easy to eat a few cookies if you wanted. Personally I would not have to much money because I like cookies. 

     Cookies are not to hard to make so would it become illegal to make them. Like, if I went and made a few cookies would I be arrested for counterfeiting. Or would it be legal so everyone could have lots of money. Lastly what type of cookie are we talking about. Is there multiple types for doffrent things or is it only one cookie allowed.

Song

     "Umbrella" by Rihanna ft. Jay Z uses many poetic techniques including repetition, alliteration, and symbolism. Repetition can be seen multiple times in the song. One example is, "Under my umbrella (Ella ella, eh eh eh)/ Under my umbrella (Ella ella, eh eh eh)".  Also an example of alliteration can be seen in the lyric "good girl gone bad". 
     The entire umbrella in the song is symbolic in a few ways. First off it is a shield to the bad things in life, which is represented as the rain. Also It can be shown as how she will protect the other person. Overall this song uses many poetic techniques and has a deeper meaning.
