Media bias

Media bias is directly protrayed in the articles of two canadian news papers. In 1916, 'The Montreal Matin' and 'Toronto Times' expressed their opinions on Sir Sam Hughes, the minister of Militia. The Montreal Matin Titled their article as, "Hughes Fired From Cabinet", where the Toronto Times titled thier article, "Sir Sam Steps Down!" The Montreal Matin called Hughes incompetent and antagonizing. They displayed him as a selfish French hating, Englishing loving minister who treated the French Canadians poorly.

Another example of bias writing is Aljazeera.net, writtin in Pakistan, and tells a different story than the article written in America. Aljazeera.net wrote "US drone' in fatal Pakistan raid" and lists that 27 people have been killed in the missile attack by the US drone in a tribal district of Pakistan. The american Article is titled, "Suspected US drone strikes Taliban Target in Pakistin", and had listed that 12 people were killed. This shows how different the information verys and sways personal opinions. There is wrong information givin and truth gets lost between the opinions.

The presidents speach

A lot of president Obama's speech was directed at the youth in America. He stressed about the importance of education starting in our homes from the time we are born, and continuing to at least 1 year of higher education. He said that college would be provided for 7 million more Americans and it would become more affordable. He said, "...dropping out of high school is no longer an option... its not just quiting on yourself, its quiting on your country". He makes a good point here because America needs every one of its talents. To not perform to the best of your abilities would be a waste. If every American could receive a good education and go to college, then he could be more knowledgeable and successful. Parents play a huge role in the upbringing of thier children; our future.

Graduation Speech

Good afternoon fellow parents and friends. We are all so happy we finally made it to Red Rocks! It has taken exactly four years to get to this glorious day. We are overwhelmed with accomplishment for ourselves and one another. You know, my teacher once asked me, "what's different about Jeffconet that makes it unlike the traditional high school?" The first thought that came to mind was, "we're all real people, with real lives." In my life, i work part time, do high school on line, and go to CCD part time. My life is not like the traditional high school student.

Here at Jeffconet we are jump starting a new and better life through graduating, and moving up. I want to thank the heads of the school, Mr. Springer and Mrs. Springer, as well as Ms. Larrenaga for inspiring me to look at writing in a different way. I have to thank my parents for all their support in this journey, it was a wild one. It feels so crazy to be standing here in front of you all, I never thought i had the guts to make a speech at graduation. I have grown tremendously throughout high school and it has molded the person I am today.

I ask each and every one of you graduates to look on to the future. See where you want to be in life and go there. Find inspiration around you, it is everywhere. Immerse your self in it. Never let inspiration go. As Thomas Edison once said, "If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves." We are capable of so much and it would be a waste if we didnt perform to the best of our abilities. I'm going to leave here today with thoughts of what I really am capable of. The sky's the limit. Farewell McLain, and farewell class of 09' I wish you the best of luck.
