Dear Matt, to be completely honest with you, i have never had a serious boyfriend. I have never been in a serious relationship. Don't get me wrong, i'm no lesbian, but your actions make me absolutely sick to my stomach. Sure i am no expert on what goes on behing closed doors of a relationship but what you do to josie it not acceptable, and if that IS normal, i think i will be a lonely person for my future years to come. Your outbursts of rage must come from some of your home life and i am not one to point the finger, but no matter what you think is normal or okay to do, you must have completly out of whack morales. It is offending to someone of my gender to hear what goes on in your relationship and how controling and abusive you are to someone that you "love and care" about. I know that life is hard and sometimes when i get frusterated and angry i can get into a rage but you need to learn to manage your anger in a better way and channel that rage into something productive. Physical abuse is not the only kind of abuse. The way that you are to Josie and how protective you are is a very obvious way that you have control issues. I hope that you can work on these issues because i think that you can be a much better person if you can improve this. Thankyou for your time.

Dear Alex Cormier, Throughout Peters life you have done a great job at being a parent. i wanted to write you to tell you that although he may not show it, Peter is grateful for your love. I know that sometimes i can be mean to my mom and push her away, but at the end of the day i really do love her and i always appreciate what she does for me. Highschool is one of the hardest times of someones life with bullies and pressure, you have done all you can and you cannot beat yourself up for what you have done for your son. You have loved him and shielded him as much as possible but things happen in our lives that we cannot control. I know that this is hard for you with Peter but you have to remember that you have done what you can and it is going to be hard for quite sometime now, but hang in there and you will make it through all of this. Just remember to give peter your love because that is what he needs right now and dont get down on yourself because you have done everything in your power that you can do.

Debate blog

School Debate: These obviously occur in school. These debates is are very persuasive and try to impact others decisions. Although these debates are sometimes unstructured, they can very well be structured. Family Debates: Each family goes through their own family debates. Sometimes they are simple and other times more complex. The purpose of these is to find a median, or aresolution to a problem usually among sibings and parents. Sometimes these debates are structured by parents allowing each person a specific amount of time to get across the table what they want. When it is unstructured this sometimes leads to chaos and no resolutionsPolitical Debate: Sometimes these are on tv to get idea acoross about campaigning or elections. It shows people what the candidates are made of and what they have to offer It helps arrive at a better decision, because we then can decide who we agree or disagree and who we feel will do their job to its full potential. The debate is structured, which allows the candidates to get the same amount of time making it unbiased or it is set up in a way that makes it an equal chance for the candidates.

Nineteen Minutes Nineteen minutes. By: Jodi Picoult2007fiction455 pagesI know that this book will be sufficiently challenging for me because my sister, and mother have both read it and they said that it was a good read for them.I chose this book becasue i have read other books by Jodi Picolt and i have enjoyed them very much. she is my favourite author because i enjoy reading her style of writing. She skips from different charcters in the novels points of view so it makes the book interesting hearing from others standpoints on the same subjects.

The emerging theme of the book is growing up. When peter grows up in the book he struggles to fit in but with his best friend it is easy. When his best friend drops him for cooler and hipper friends he has no one. When we grow up we go through many friends and some of those friendships break and some last forever. This is just a part of maturing.1.Sorrow: distress caused by loss, affliction, disappointment, etc.; grief, sadness, or regret.(P. 91) This word is used in the book when josie is in the hospital finding out the effects of the shootings.2.Affliction(P. 113) When peter is talking to his laywer and explaing to him how much humliliation he went through in high school he uses this word to express how much he was hurt.
