Current Events QTR 2 Week 1: 'Hiccup Girl' Charged with Murder

          Jennifer Mee, as known as "hiccup girl" has been charged with first-degree murder. She met someone online, lured him into an empty home. He was robbed of $50 to $60 then killed. Jennifer and two other men were arrested hours after they found the man killed with several bullets in his body. I am unaware of how long she will be in jail.

         My opinion on this article is different. I liked this article because they informed us about how someone we used to know as having hiccups, is now getting caught for murdering. I also liked how it told us the story short and sweet and then it went back into detail. I didn't like it because I never got to find out why Jennifer Mee killed this man. It just doesn't make sense to me. This is my opinion on this article.

This is a picture of Jennifer Mee that came with the article.

I got this article from an online source. I got it from CNN News. Here is the link:

Current Events Week 7: Crystal Bowersox Gets Married

       This article was about an American Idol runner-up, Crystal Bowersox, getting married to Brian Walker. They were longtime friends before it all turned into romance. Bowersox and Walker have been engaged since September. They got married at a club in Chicago on Sunday, the same place that they met. She was wearing an "earth-friendly" cotton dress. Now, "they're one happy Walkersox family". 


      I liked this article because I watch American Idol and I think that it was very interesting to hear about one of last year's contestants getting married. I thought it was unique how they got married in the same place that they met six years ago. I liked how she was wear an "earth-friendly" cotton dress. Crystal Bowersox has a lot of talent and I thought it was very cool on how they shared this information with us. This was my opinion on this article.

Current Events Week 6: Question of the Week

This article was from Athens, Greece. It is about truck drivers protesting about a new law liberalizing their profession. Truckers have been arguing that the tax and other benefits offered by the government have been giving them a loss in the value of their licenses. This happened after a law was passed about their profession turning into competition. Since the truck drivers are so fed up with this law, trucks have been parked along the streets for quite some time now, and it has been causing food, medicine, and other product shortages. Some of the people included in the article agree with the truck drivers because they say that the truck drivers have the right to fight for their own rights. 

My opinion on this article is very strong. I agree with this because I also agree that the truck drivers should be able to fight for their own rights. I mean it is their jobs! I do disagree because it is causing problems for many other people also. They are causing problems in other job categories too. I like this article because it includes opinions from others. And this is my opinion on this article.
