Random Family

I haven't got that far into the book as I probably should be, but so far I find this book very interesting. The story about these people, and what they have to go through to get money or food to support the family just tugs at my heart. Even though I feel sorry for them, I can't help but be bitter, or negative towards the main character Jessica. Maybe if she didn't have kids so early, and went to school, and got an education, she probably won't be in the mess she's in now. I would love to ask her why she decided to have kids so early? I know it was a mistake, but then why did she have other lovers and have more kids knowing the problems she's already going through? It seems to me that she needs some responsibility, and needs to get her mind away from boys and other things and take a look at what's more important not only for her, but for her family.

Anna Nicole Controversy

I honestly could care less about Anna Nicole Smith. I found her annoying, stupid, and someone so unimportant in this country. That sounds kind of harsh, but I really don't see what the big deal was about her. Like we said in class; there are soldiers in another country dying and risking their lives to help our country, and the big story of the night is Anna Nicole Smith's death. It is sad that she died and she's leaving behind a baby, but I don't think that it should be the headline of every news show, newspaper, or internet site. Every time I see something about Anna Nicole on the television, I quickly change the channel. I am tired of hearing about her.

Britney Spears, and her problems with stress

I don't think that drugs, alcohol, and partying are ways for anyone, not only celebrities, to cope with stress. I feel that saying that you went on drugs or became an alcoholic because of stress is a lame and stupid excuse. If you're stressed out then go to a meditation place, or take a vacation. All drugs, alcohol, and partying do are give you even more problems, and put more negative things about you out there for the paparazzi to pick on and make a story about. I know that Britney Spears is going through a divorce, but I think that she was doing some drugs even before the divorce. Even after the divorce she got a new boyfriend "just like that" so to me if she was really depressed I don't think she would be already with a new guy. About the whole shaving her head, I really don't know what to say about that. I don't know if she was on drugs at the time she did it, or if she was looking for attention, but she better shape up because she has two babies that need a mother, and her actions are going to get them taken away from her.

Scary Movies

I know I love to go to scary movies, even though I know I'll be scared and maybe have a nightmare. I think it is because I know in most scary movies, it is all fake and probably will not happen in reality so therefore I just go for fun. It's like riding a roller coaster. Roller coasters can be scary, but a lot of people go just because they like that feeling of adrenalin and being scared for fun. The only movies that I probably will not watch are anything that involves exorcism or sharks. When there is a movie about exorcism, I just get an uncomfortable, disturbing feeling that I don't like, and then doesn't make me enjoy the movie. I also won't watch movies about sharks because I know that sharks are real, and that something that involves a shark in a movie could possibly happen in real life.

Population in China

I really don't think it's right that the Chinese government is using all of these different forms of birth control to lessen the population. Everyone should have a choice. It is their life and their family, and they should have the freedom to have as many kids as they want. I know there is a population problem in China, and I admit I'm not sure of another way to lessen the population, but I feel that telling women how many children they are allowed to have and forcing them to go on birth control or have an abortion is wrong.
