Song Day

Steve Jackson's visit

When Steve Jackson visited our class and gave us a lecture on truth it was interesting. It was interesting to see someone else’s point of view on truth and what truth really is. I really enjoyed it because he seemed like he knew a lot about the issue.

The coverage of the Pope’s visit was relatively good. There were many articles from different sources that helped show different points of view on issues that he had. Even though people may not be catholic the pope’s visit was beneficial in the understanding of other people.

This article was very insightful to me because even though it was bias it agreed with my opinions of Mr. Bush, as the author would say. He spoke a lot about wire the bad decisions that he made as well as adding in his illegal operations such as wire tapping.
