the power of 4th graders

     The change.org website is the perfect website to let people speak there mind and be able to make a change in issues they don't agree with. Just like the 4th graders making a change to one of the biggest movie studios in the world. Because of that website the 4th grade class was able to fight and change the the Lorax movie into what it should really be about. and the 4th grade class won with 57,000 signatures, and universal studios had to change the movie. I think this website is really what people needed to be able to have a say in what they believe.

Top 2 books

     My first pick out of the books I would like to read is Lord of the Flies, because I love reading adventure books, There usually pretty exiting all the way through and you dont want to stop reading. I have read two books so far about kids being lost at sea and stranded on an island and so far I think they have been two of my favorites, so im pretty sure I will really like Lord of the Flies. My second choise would be IntoThin Air because it is another adventure book but its also a true story and true stories interest me alot and I usaually get pretty curious about what happened to the people and how they survived or didn't.

should Marijuana be legal ?

    Making marijuana legal is one issue that is hard to decide, there is a lot of pros and cons for legalising it. Marijuana being illegal like it is today is making the crime rate go up because more and more kids are wanting to try it and getting in trouble with the law. If marijuana was legal I think the crime rate would go way down and the police could focus on much bigger issues in the city. Another good reason for making marijuana legal is the government would make a lot money off of it with taxes. There is better reasons for making marijuana legal then keeping it illegal. I think it would be better for most people if it changed. Also if it was legal maybe less kids would be interested in trying it because its not doing something bad or risky.
