This week for my blog I am going to be talking about elephant poaching. Lately the price of elephant ivory has dropped making it therefore more acsessable to people. What poaching is the killing of animals for a specific body part to sell it. They kill these elephants just for their ivory. Ivory is usually used for jewelry. Ivory is in high demand and therefore theses people are killing all of the elephants. Elephants are becoming endangered due to the fact that people want them for their horns. This is a senseless act that people are doing simply for the money. Their are a lot of other ways to make money and people are choosing to do this and it is down right terrible. Elephants are beautiful and majestic who are sweet at heart. They do not need to be poached rather people should make more jewlery out of metal. This way everyone wins. Elephants are beautiful and do not need to be extinct in the near future or ever. Therefore the people that are poaching animals should be imprisoned and made to pay a fine because these people are getting away with killing theses sweet animals. Overall I do not believe this is right and just. These animals are getting killed for no good reason not that there is ever a good reason. Anyway is short elephants should not be poached or any animal for that matter. It is just plain wrong and sad to think that babies are getting taken away from the families. There mothers are being taken away from mothers. Just think if your mom or died died how would you feel. That sad feeling is the feeling these elephants feel when there mom or dad or brother or sister gets taken away from them.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/29/world/africa/ivory-elephants-china.html?module=WatchingPortal®ion=c-column-middle-span-region&pgType=Homepage&action=click&mediaId=thumb_square&state=standard&contentPlacement=5&version=internal&contentCollection=www.nytimes.com&contentId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2017%2F03%2F29%2Fworld%2Fafrica%2Fivory-elephants-china.html&eventName=Watching-article-click
This week for my blog I am going to the talking about a short story we read. We read a short story call lamb to the slaughter. This story is a bout a woman mary who was waiting for her husband to come home. When he gets home she asks him repeatedly if he was dinner he keeps saying no and she begins to get angry. She goes and grabs a frozen leg of lamb and hits him in the back of the head and he falls to the ground. At the time she never really let it sink in that she killed and him so she went to the grocery store to go get him vegetables from the grocery store for dinner. She came home and saw him dead and ran to him and started crying realizing that now of finally sunk in that she killed him. She calls the police and tells him that when she got home the grocery store that he was dead. The cops came and asked her questions. The cops never suspected that Mary killed him because her husband was a police officer and she knew all of them. She asked them if they were hungry and they did not want to impose and they finally cracked and they ate. Throughtout this whole time the lamb was in the oven. She pulled it out and they ate it. She remained in the living room and they ate in kitchen and they we talking about where the murder weapon could be and they said jokingly that it could be under their noses. Little did they know that they were eating the murder weapon. When they said that Mary began to laugh in the living room. As you can see the story was very interesting. http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/lamb.html

This week for my blog I am going to talk about a mock trial that we did i class for the short story Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. We did a mock trial for it. The short story is about a man that hates his neighbors eye. He hates it so much that he wanted to kill the eye. In the end he ended up killing the old man. The trial was whether he was criminally insane which then he would go to jail and get a death sentence or if he was just insane which then he would to go a mental hospital. I was apart of the jury. The jury gets to make the decision whether he is insane or criminally insane. During the trial the defense and prosecution made some really great points. When the defense and prosecution were done making their points and closing arguments the jury went outside and deliberated and we made our decisions. It was a hung jury. Everybody in the jury thought he was insane but one person thought he criminally insane. That one person was me and I made it a hung jury. Overall the trial was amazing and a fun activity. The defense and prosecution made some amazing points about how Aidan was guilty and the defense made some amazing points about how he is insane and needs to go to a mental hospital. In conclusion the mock trial was so much fun and an amazing learning experience. Also the trial was very realistic we had a judge, a bailiff, witnesses, jury, and attorneys. The whole experience made it feel very real and overall I would do it again and it made me think that in the future I would like to be in the jury in a real trial. http://www.crf-usa.org/mock-trial-program/mock-trial-program.html
