The first image that comes to my mind is the cross. To so many people the cross means hope, hope for a better day. We believe that when we die we can live with God in heaven. It also means sacrifice. It represents the sacrifice that Jesus gave (His life) to save Christians from our sins.
The rainbow signifies two different things. One is the rainbow being God’s promise that He will never flood the earth again. Two is the meaning of sexual preference. The rainbow is what they live by and what represents them.
The third image I think about is a wedding ring. A wedding ring also symbolizes a promise to stand by your partner through all things. It is a promise to be faithful and to love that person.

reporters and the iraq war
Reporters always want to be the first to get the story. By actually being there in the middle of the action, they can get live interviews and pictures to the television stations. I think they did this because they felt the country wanted to see exactly what was happening. I don’t think they should be there. For every reporter that goes along, it takes the spot of a soldier that would be there. I think soldiers must feel like they have to protect these people differently because they do not have the training that soldiers have.
On April 6 2003, David Bloom, a reporter for NBC, died in the Iraq desert while he was reporting on the war. He was travelling in a cramped vehicle and suffered from a blood clot because of being in the same position for a long time. On January 29, 2006, Bob Woodruff, a reporter for ABC, and Doug Vogt, an ABC cameraman, were seriously injured by an explosive when they were travelling with the 4th Infantry Division along with the Iraqi Army. They were in an Iraqi vehicle with their upper body exposed. They had to be airlifted out and taken to an Army hospital in Germany.
I have not really seen any reports from the front lines with the Afghanistan war, but that doesn’t mean they are not there. I just don’t keep up with it.

Week 1
I love to write outside, where I am away from all the disturbing noises of phones ringing, people talking, and cars going by. Before I start writing I always sketch out a bubble diagram of what I'm going to write about. Drawing a diagram helps me to really think about what I am going to write for each topic.
When I was younger, I had really bad anxiety and panic attacks. I felt like no one could understand how I felt,and my escape was writing. I would write long poems or just act like I was writing to someone who cared. I found myself through writing. I taught myself so many lessons, by writing things down I could picture things so much better. If I don't write my ideas for a paper or poem down first it never really seems to make since. By jotting ideas down, it helps me to visualize what I am really wanting to say, and also delete the things that don't exactly seem to fit.
