CE Quiz 2.3

1. In Tuesday's paper on page A3 "Ellis Island", what do you know about Ellis Island? Would you like to visit the island? WHY or WHY NOT

I know that Ellis Island was where immigrants were taken to become citizens back in the early 1900s. I have visited the island before and it is so magnificent! I would definitely go again, there is so much history and a lot of things to learn, along with seeing the Statue of Liberty which is amazing!

2. In Tuesday's paper on page A7 "Thanks, Texas..." What points are the author trying to make about Texas? Do you agree or disagree with his perspective? WHY or WHY NOT

The author states that Texas is sacrificing their own poor people so that the poor people in New York could have free health care insurance. Basically, he is being very sarcastic towards Texas and how they are running things, and I disagree with his perspective because he is going about things the wrong way by ridiculing and being rude.

3. In Tuesday's paper on page B1 "School staff to get ...." What are your reactions to the story? Do you think the Bastrop staff should get the training? WHY or WHY NOT

I was shocked at some of the things that were happening in the Bastrop School district. I definitely think the Bastrop staff should get the training because things will only get worse if they don't work on changing the way they are doing things in the district.

4. In Wednesday's paper on page A11 "NFL not..." Do you think the concussion issue is enough to cause changes in the NFL? WHY or WHY NOT

No, because when going into the NFL, you know you are putting yourself at risk. They should make more protective head gear for people in football though for safety.

5.  In Thursday's paper on page A1 "Guards at lockup..." What should happen to guards at the facility?

I think the guards should lose their jobs. I don't agree with the way they are handling things. Using physical violence isn't going make troubled kids feel any better towards the world or improve their lives.

6.  In Thursday's paper on page A1 "Sebelien apologizes: Obama tries..." Should the computer problems plaguing the ACA be reflective on the job the President is doing as the leader of the United States? WHY or WHY NOT?

I don't think it should reflect on the job of the President, because he didn't do anything intentionally.
