Giving Weapons to Taiwan is not the right way to go

(My other good paper)


The U.S. should not sell weapons to Taiwan. Instead the U.S. should limit our imports that we receive from China.

Limiting the amounts of imports we receive from China, will show them that the U.S. are in control and that we are not backing down. Currently the top three imports from China are electrical machinery & equipment, power generation equipment, and toys and games. The act itself of reducing the amount of these imports will show China we mean business. This would also be a good thing for the U.S. because instead of depending on China to make a majority of those goods will allow the U.S. to create more jobs by producing them here.

By reducing the top three imports the U.S receives from China will make China take notice and the U.S will not need to involve innocent countries, such as Taiwan and Tibet. The U.S is China’s number one consumer of their products. China depends on the U.S. to buy their goods to make them the number one export country. The U.S. dollar is worth more in China and this is one of the reasons why China’s economy is up. So you see this is exactly what we want to happen, to prove to China that we are in control. This will make them rethink their position on the climate change agreement and the new Security Council sanction against Iran.

Many people believe that selling the weapons to Taiwan is a good move to get China’s attention, but it isn’t. Selling weapons to Taiwan will put China in control as this will allow China the power to make the next move. By giving them the control this will make them not want to agree on the Climate Change and the new Security Council sanction against Iran. If the selling of arms happens this could cause major conflicts between Taiwan and China. So by limiting the top 3 imports from China rather than selling weapons to Taiwan would be a better choice.

The Big fish

(my good paper)

Edward Bloom becomes immortal by becoming the big fish because his stories are passed down after him.

Edward’s family kept his stories alive after he passes by Will telling his children the stories that Edward told him. In the movie, Will Bloom said “a man tells so many stories, that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.” Edward had a story for everything that happened in his life. When Will was a child Edward would tell Will these stories. Once Will was older he realized that the only way his father communicated with him was through stories. When Will had children I realized the only way of telling his children about their grandfather was through Edwards stories. Will’s children loved the stories just like Will did when he was a child, and Will’s children loved them so much they would tell their friends the stories. Will passes these stories of his father’s life down to his children and by passing them down Edward Bloom never dies, he becomes immortal.

Edward’s family wasn’t the only ones you kept his stories alive, his friend also did too. When Will was at his father’s funeral he noticed all of the people that were there were the same people mentioned in his fathers stories. At the end of the funeral ceremony Will hears Norther Winslow telling the stories that Edward has told, but when Will looks around he sees that everyone is telling the stories of Edward Bloom. You might think that Edward Bloom turns into the big fish because it completes his life, but he turns into the big fish because his friends and family never forget his stories that he has told them.

Animal Bracelets

Is this situation of banning these Animal Bracelets or Silly Bandz getting a little silly? Schools are banning these bracelets because they are a distraction in class, like schools in Texas and in New York. For those of you that don’t know what animal bracelets are, they are these colorful bracelets that are in the shape of an animal, shapes, automobiles, and many other designs. Some even glow in the dark, but do you think these bracelets should be banned at school? I think banning these bracelets is silly. I was at a basketball tournament thins weekend, and me my basketball team decided to go to the mall to waste time before our next game. When we got there, there was stand that was just selling these animal bracelets. Most of my team went nuts, but I and a couple others said to our selves “are you kidding me!” I didn’t even now that these little bracelets were such a big thing and now they are getting banned because they are a distraction during class. I would understand banning them in elementary school because the little kids would probly be playing with them during class, but banning them in middle schools and high schools is ridiculous. I honestly don’t understand why people like them so much, it’s not like you can see the design when it’s on your wrist. When it’s on your wrist it just looks like a regular bracelet. I have a friend that is obsessed with these Animal Bracelets, and she was on my basketball team when we went to the mall. She was the one that crazy. There must have been a thousand of these bracelets that were all scattered everywhere. So my friend asked how much they were individual, and the lady told her that she can just take two for free. I couldn't believe how excited she was, and after she took two we had to go back there before we left so she could get some more. Maybe after seeing how obsessed my friend was, I could see why they would ban these Animal Bracelets, but I still think it’s silly.
