Project 2
Topic:Should the U.S. limit people's travel because of Ebola?
Clash:Some think we should limit it because Ebola is so dangerous. If we restrict it,the rate it spread will slow down. But some others disagree, and they think Ebola does not abide by borders.
Stance 1: We should limit the travel.
Summary: How the patient with Ebola named Thomas Eric Duncan went to the U.S.A. is by air that makes people scard of if more people like Duncan will go to the U.S.A. in this way. We must be as cautious as possible to contain this disease in the smallest area so less people will be affected. People in the U.S.A. have right to journey, but the country can not lose safety. So every people should be quarantined before they want to go to another country, only in this way, safety can be guaranteed. The best way to solve a problem is to prevent it developing at source.
Stance 2: Ebola does not abide by borders. So we can do nothing to prevent it.
Summary:Dr. Benjamin think only limit the travel can not solve the problem. We learned that
Infectious disease does not respect geographical borders from history. And in the West Africa, the goverment and airport already have done something to protect people. In ancient years, the transpotation between countries is inconvenient so it also trouble the virus. But now where we live is a global society, and it is hard to prevent the communication between two different countries. As a result,what we should is to screen travelers but not limit.

Stance of article
I think the stance of article is prejudice and merited.The writer think that black boy is a bad boy, so it may do not matter if he was killed. The most obvious detail we can find is the title. The title tell us that Trayvon Martin was suspended three times from school rather than Martin's death is sadness. At first of article we see that the boy may bring marijuana,but it is only guess and is not fact. And he have been late and missing school for 2 times. This black also did other bad thing like write "W.T.F." and even is a thief that stole woman's rings and earrings. All things written be the writer want to show us that Martin is a bad boy though some of them have not been affirmed and may be slander.
The writer use some uncertain words like may. And he list information he get but list the information that show Martin is a bad boy at first and put others at last.

What happens when someone rob the most money?
There is endless money in the bank. And people always are greedy and want to get it,even
in illegal ways. So some people choose
to rob a bank and even rob the most money that can be Top 10 Robberies in 21st centuries. But what happened after that? Were
they succeed? Were they catch? Did they have happy ending? And I choose three of them
to analyse.
Northern Bank in Belfast,Northern Ireland 2004,Number 8
On December 20th,2004,someone went to Northern Bank in Belfast,Northern Ireland and
robbed there. They were so smart that they hijacked some employees' families and asked
them to work as usual. They got £26.5 million and some other currencies and ran away
successfully(BBC,2005). A large amount of money,right? Why there were so much money?
There would be Christmas in three days,and people would buy a lot of things to celebrate it,
so the bank put so much money in safes. So it was a excellent day for them to rob and a
awful day for the bank. Because of it,it is the biggest bank robbery in Irish history. But
unluckily to those robber,the bank did something to make those money useless;they use a
new-look money(This way can be used in some small countries,but in countries like China
and America,it will not work.) So maybe what they did is a vain thing. The bank also called
police,but this robbery has not be solved yet.
Sumitomo bank in London,UK 2007,Number 2
With the development in science and technology,robbers began to rob the bank at home
with computers. Two hackers used a USB memory stick to install a software named
"key-logger" in a computer. They got the usernames and passwords of employees who had
used this computer. They tried to get $300 million with the information they got. But they
made a mistake so they got no money at last. But they did not only make one mistake,they
changed some cameras,even cut one. So some employees could find it and call police,and robbers were catch(Ando,2009). They were so unlucky that they saw no money because of
computer.
Also because of computer,they were so lucky to get so much money that this
robbery is one of famous robberies. And this rubbery also tell us do
not make little mistake when you do a big thing. The mistake may destroy
all that you planed.
the Banco Central in Fortaleza,Ceará,Brazil 2005,Number 6
People not only rob in some tough way,but also in some other more gentle way(still rude in
fact), such as digging a tunnel which will spend more time. On Brazil,there was a thing like
this. Robbers spent some months to dig it from a house someone rented. And on August
6th,they came to the bank vault and got more than $ 70 million which made it the biggest
robbery in Brazil. Because it was a weekend,employees found it on Monday. (It was also a
good day.)(BBC,2005 & FOXNEWS,2005).
And only some of them have been arrested when
there were 25 took part in this robbery. And only some of money have
been regained up to now. But the biggest proplem is that they should be
very careful to be not found that they are digging by others.
Conclution
After the robbery happened, the bank would often come up with some ways to reduce loss. (And in example 1,The bank even use some special way. In 3 examples,all the
bank call police for help.) And no people had happy ending from 3
examples.Some people were catch,and as for people that haven't been
catch,they have to hide all the time. There are some new
ways to rob like robbing with computer like example 2 though going
to bank with guns and something like that is still a common way. All
robbers usually planed a lot. If not,they can be caught easily and can
not rob so much money. So many robberies have not been solved.
And most of them will choose a good day just like they did in example1 and example 3. Some people will choose a day that some day
before a festival so there will be much money in the
bank. And some will choose a holiday so the police and employees
won't find it at once. We can see there was no huge robbery after 2009
(Jaro,2012).

The response of "Trayvon Martin was suspended three times from school"
The black Trayvon Martin was killed by a white name Zimmerman. However,the white was not arrested which caused the deterioration of the race.(NBC NEWS,2012)
The race prejudice between the white and the black is normal in some states of America. Some Caucasian believe they are more important than negros, and even some negros think so. So our professor Dr. Marquardt may feel lucky to become a white,and feel more fortunate for become a teacher in China where people feel less race prejudice(but more prejudice of gay). If the killer is a black,and the victim is a white,situation will be quite different. The killer will be arrested and judged fairly,the the victim will hardly be slandered.
And also, the another big problem is the use of guns. In the United States,most of people can buy a gun even someone who is aggressive. In some states,the law of guns are so loose that people do not need to register when they purchase firearm which create the trouble more serious. If the white do not have any gun,he will not kill the teenager so easily.
Removing the race prejudice immediately is not realistic. So the best way to solve the problem is to forbid gun. But National Association for Gun Rights has a big power in whole America. The act of forbidding gun will not pass in parliament. If the president start the bill,he must lose the suggest of this association and his power. So even the accidents of guns is so frequent in America,few presidents in history had tried to ban it.

The response of "Ala. suspect brilliant, but social misfit"
What the writer want to explain is why Amy Bishop shot and killed so many people.
Bishop is such a smart lady who even earn a Harvard Ph.D. .She ought to be succeed but failed unfortunately. The doctor is so talented that she hardly face challenges and became proud. So when difficulty that she lost her job came up,this female can not control herself and be aggressive.
In other people's eyes,Bishop is a normal people even a smart people and they can not believe it is true. But in her mind,the lady may get psychological twist.
There are some talent like she. When they are face challenges,they may destroy themselves even others because they are too clever to face it and can not accept.
Just like the writer say it is social misfit. The society should pay attention to this problem. Maybe training for setback should be given to those talents to prevent those things happen again.

The Response of "They Shut My Grandmother's Room Door"
Humor is usually based on sadness. But in most time,sadness is just something makes people sad,no humor and no meaning.
In this article,the writer tell us a story and maybe a memory. It is an article about sadness of his grandmother,even the whole Vietnam. The old woman suffered a lot when she lived there and was scared of death.
I think what Lam want to tell us is something about death maybe including anti-war. What makes the country become like this? It is war. The war destroyed everything that is beautiful,trees,houses,hometown,families,etc. . It also makes people who have experienced so afraid,especially scared of bloodshed.
So what we should do is to take care of them in a right way. Maybe in many western countries,people may choose a excellent convalescent to look after them. But in China,if you do like this,you will be abused of having no filial piety. People believe that only at home,parents can get the warmth of family.
And at the same time,the country should be more richer, powerful and peaceful. Only in this way,people in it can be happy forever and hardly suffer so much just like people lived in America as the writer described.

The difference between those three kind of spiders
They are all spiders in fact, but the look of those three kind of spiders are different. Spiders in the first and second video are similar. They are black, big and have hair around their body. They also have big poison fangs which should be cut off when you want to eat them. Their legs are not so long but are very suitable when compared with their body. The biggest difference between them is size. The spiders in the second video are much bigger. But the spiders on the third video are quite different. I do not know what color they are. Their body are much more smaller and looks smooth. They have no hair and their legs are so long and thin just like thread. They have no poison fang.(Maybe the poison fangs are cut before shoot.)
Answer
1. Search Engines are different. I am used to use baidu,so google is kind of difficult for me. And there are many words that I do not know when I search the information. I have to use google to translate the words I do not know.
2. I have knew how to write an essay that have many words. (I have never written a article in which words are more than 150 when I in high school.) I have also learned some new words and how to write an essay.
3. I will write the essay more earlier and try to write an essay that have more words.
4. Many of my lazy classmates post their essay around 11:59 p.m. . (And I also do like that sometimes.)
