Michaels & denise' Journal Cycle 13

This weekend was pretty fun-packed. All I did was hang out. I went and saw Shutter Island friday night. It was probabbly the coolest movie ive seen in a while. I still have no idea what actually happened in the movie. Saturday night, I went to Bath County to a friends house and hung out until Sunday.

Does anyone wonder why the sky is blue or how come the wind blows side ways instead of down? i do all the time, i search and search but never find anything. The beautiful earth is still a mystery to me even after 16 years of a wonderful life and i assume that it will remain a mystery until i die. the wind blows so gently through my window and i hear the cold chill whisper "spring." Soon flowers will start arising and the cold chill will turn to a much warmer more loveing blow. each with it's own surprise and relactant smell, telling me not to worry; but beware; cause i can never tell.

Holocaust Editorial

I'm Angela Hamilton and I'm writing about how some people believe the holocaust never happend. The Holocaust denial happend started as a German and French theory, but then later spread on to Americans. Many people believed that the holocaust never occured. They dont understand how so many people could be murdered and yet half the world not know about it. My opinion is that it did happen. Yes, many people did die and hitler did go undected. There is many ways to lie to your country inorder to kill people. There is so many records to prove that it did and survivers. The suggestion to solve this problem of denial is to tell people to do their research. Otherwise there is no otherway to solve this problem. Some people dont want to believe it because their anecestors was involved in the murders.

Remodeling Walmart

Since 1962 Walmart stores all around amercia have grown to be one of the leading stores. Mount Sterling, Walmart seems to be the only store worth going into if you're looking to buy produce.

For two years the customers of Walmart have known where everything was and how to get there from any direction. But, in March 2010, all that will change. Walmart is going to start remodeling the entire store. What does this mean? It means that the aisles will be moved to new locations around the store. The question that as people curious is, "Is this change good or bad?"

Walmart employee Debbie Sparks says that the change will be good for the store because change is completely for the needs of the customers. But she also believes that the customers will have a difficult time finding the new locations of the items.

In March, what will the customers think? Will they except the new change? Or will they hate it?
