    Seeing this production was great to see the different side of what I had told in my original book. I thought you did a great job and you presented each part well and had a well-played script set out. Id like to say "thankee" for a wonderful portraying of my origin.

    This article is great to show that we actually do need to make a huge change or else these refugees are going to keep getting sicker and sicker because of the terrible conditions in the refugee camp. "refugees at a camp on the border with North Ossetia, who have been on hunger strike for over two weeks, have protested to the federal authorities about the continuing delay in allowing them to return to their permanent homes and at the "inhuman" conditions in the camp. In an address published on the Ingush.ru website, they called for an immediate solution to the problem of the "water protection zone" in the Terek river floodplain, the issuing of passports and permits and compensation for lost property and allocation of land plots."

    This quote is just one of many great quotes to show the solutions for the conditions in the refugee camps in the world today.

    This is a great article to show the possible solutions that could help refugee camps all over the world, the more fortunate people need to share some of there wealth so that the refugees in these refugee camps, the less fortunate people don't have to starve for days, and not be able to go to the bathroom in an actual toilet.

    "12-year-old Lao Vonlai, his older sister, Dalah, and his parents are confined to an overcrowded refugee camp in Thailand in 1982 to wait for resettlement in a Western country. Food is scarce, and camp conditions are horrific, with little to sustain the family but a sense of community and dwindling hope, as months of confinement become years. Vonlai befriends an aging Lao colonel who teaches him woodcarving and determination, and he valiantly protects his sister from the ever-present danger of sexual assault." This is a piece of the article that shows the dangers of the refugee camp. A 12 year old boy is thinking about protecting his sister, and watching out for other dangers.

    This article has great information about how the refugee camp in Kenya is overcrowded and it is holding four times as much people as it should. That's how many people are there in the refugee camps even today. There are around 380,000 people living in that refugee camp in Kenya and many more are coming.

    This article is great to back up my theory that the new rules arn't preventing concussions from the league because here they talk about how more than 60% of concussions in football are caused in practice. You hear all the things about how they are changing the rules in the games. Why are they focusing on the rules in the games if more of the concussions are happening in practices.

    This a good article if you want the counter point to concussions in football. They talk about how now all hit to the head and neck area are illegal, but its not stoping and of the hits to the head. The only difference now is that there team will recieve a penalty. Although it doesnt completely stop concussions this article does have good facts that do support how the rules have lessened the concussions.

    I was very surprised to see how the blacks were treated when they rebelled against the white people and decided to fight back. They make it seem that the bloodbath during this time was almost like a war. It is so horrifying that they would treat people so terrible.

    This resource can connect back to President Johnsons speech very well. It can because it shows why the blacks were outraged and about what happened when everything got out of hand and a huge bloodbath occured. President Johnson said that blacks and whites should have the same rights because evryone deserves a fighting chance. This article also says that many others believe that black people should be able to vote just as white people could.

    This article is about the battle of selma from the point of view of a girl who was in the middle of the whole mess.

    It was a miracle that nobody was killed. By the way that she describes it, it would make sense to have many deaths because she refers to it as a "bloodbath".

      This is a great point about how the native people are more indangered than the rainforest itself Instead, what is in danger of extinction are the native people of the Amazon rain forest who are prevented by stringent environmental regulations from using the forest to support themselves.
    • Jack G
       
      "The simple point is that there are now still, despite what humans have done, more rain forests today than there were 12,000 years ago." There are going to be more and more rainforests being built and being killed for many more years and the amazon is still "87 percent" full.
    • Jack G
       
      The real cost of the Save-the-Amazon movement has been paid by the poverty-stricken residents of Brazil. Brazilians complain that the international environmental and celebrity campaigns to save the Amazon have harmed Brazil's ability to develop infrastructure and help the millions in poverty there. But just how do the environmentalists define poverty?" This is a great quote about how the forest is not the real thing that is in danger.

      "Rainforest Relief's Keating weighs in with a hefty "450 species lost per day." These estimates are rooted in the research of Harvard University [professor] Edward O. Wilson, who based it on computer models of the potential, but as yet undiscovered, species that may be going extinct yearly." If the estimate is that some thing near 450 species are lost everyday in rainforests all over the world than there is more than just the forest itself and the people surrounding it, all the animals are in endangered to

      "25% of the pharmaceuticals consumed in the United States came from plants in the rainforest."
    • Jack G
       
      "In April 1998, a new initiative established a protected area of 25 million hectares (62 million acres), with plans to increase this protected area in the future." If we do not preserve the forest so that people cant use lots of its resources than before you know it, the forest will be destroyed.
    • Jack G
       
      "The largest cause of rainforest destruction is urbanization on a massive scale.21 The trend toward the urbanization of Amazonia started out after World War II." If the deforestation keeps rapidly increasing at a high rate then sometime down the road someone will try to say there is still most of the forest left but they wont be able to say that because it will be destroyed. We take it for granted to much because we think it is a unlimited resource we can use.
