What is my ________?
My companion My bestfriend
The owner he will always defend
Furry and four legged
Very Fierce but very timid
Toys and tails thrown
He, I will always own
Happiness all around
Always playing on the ground
But when he passes away
My days will be dull and every grey

Definition Poem

Its head is as white as new fallen snow

Its eyes like deep black holes

Its beak a jagged hook, and yet beautiful to the look

The body is as black as ink

The wings mightier than the sphinx

Its talons sharper than knives

As it preys on small creature day and night

It soars though the sky with much grace

Circling above with no haste

Laying its eggs oh so high

If they fell they would surely die

I fly in the sky what am I?

The -----

It's movements, slower than still water
It's fur, home free the weak
Claws, as sharp as knives
Body like a hammock
Hibernates every second
Watches the world pass by before them
Never leaves it's home
Motionless, as still as ice

Definition poem

What am I?

Color is my identity
 beauty is my signature

There to stand guard
while you lie at peace never to be disturbed    

Danger masked with beauty
I live in dread of approaching winter

Glowing in the sun as I greet dawn
with my last moments I begin to crumble

Until there is nothing left but a twig of loneliness and despair
what am I?
                                                                                                                                         

Election Questions

5. Reflect on the analysis of CBC vote compass results. Share some of them in your post. Consider - did the results surprise you, were any contradictory, do you think the vote compass has helped you to figure out who you might vote for - explain....

My results for the voting compass were that my interests related to the NDP party. This slightly surprised me even though I was going to vote for the NDP party. I mostly want to vote for the NDP party because of everything that they said they were going to do on like lower the taxes and raise welfare rates. The voting compass has helped me have more reasons to vote for the NDP.

Even if I don’t choose to vote for the NDP’s the second choice for me was the Liberals. But I think I would rather vote for the conservatives because they are the in between of Liberals and NDP and might not cause the loss of as much money as the Liberals.

I think the voting compass is very helpful because it tells you lots of info on your party that you want to vote for and it helps you figure out whom to vote for. Like the many people who don’t want to vote can use this and see which parties answer for problems they responded to. This could cause more people to vote because they would know who they would know who they wanted to vote for. Also the voting compass can help educate kids on how to vote and on politics. The questions on the compass would be great for them even though they would have some trouble answering.  This was my voting compass results and what I think of the voting compass.

Election reflection

Should voting be mandatory

Yes I think voting should be mandatory. However I don' t think people should get fined if they don't vote. If they make voting mandatory it will defiantly increase by a lot. But making it punishable by fines people would want to rebel. Voting is a way to share their opinion of who they think should be the leader. So if they feel that none of the choices are good enough for them the shouldn't have to vote. If they feel that none of the leaders should be a leader they have the right to not to vote.


So now I am going to talk about the reasons voting should be mandatory. As well as they reasons it shouldn't be mandatory. So lets start off with the reasons I think are the reasons voting should be mandatory. People should vote though because we are lucky enough to live in a democracy where we at least have the privilege of picking our leader. In most places people can't choose who they want to be their leader a good leader or not they have to settle for that person. So I feel people should acknowledged this privilege. I also think the more votes there are the more fair the outcome. Because if for example 10 people voted 5 people voted for Green 1 person voted for NDP 2 People voted for Vision and 1 person voted for conservative then the last person voted for Liberals. That wouldn't be fair. however if 200 people vote 100 people vote for Liberals 50 people vote for Green 10 people vote for conservatives 25 people voted for vision and 15 people voted for NDP. That sounds more fair doesn't it


There are reasons voting should not be mandatory. Like for example if it turns out we elect a horrible leader.(This Leaders name can be Bob) So if someone didn't want to vote but since it was mandatory the ended up voting for Bob. Then after elections are over and Bob shows his true colors people are going to regret voting for him. Especially the people who were forced to vote for him because it was mandatory to vote. It should be their choice. Voting is a way to share a persons opinion and that opinion should not be a forced one. We have to acknowledge the people who are to busy with their lives to get caught up with things like election. Or maybe there is someone who doesn't understand English so they don't get the concept of voting. So then that person ends up probably making a spoiled vote. So it was pretty much a waste of paper because that person didn't get what they were doing. These are the cons of making voting mandatory.


So now that you have read both the reasons voting should be and should not be mandatory. So as I mentioned before I think voting should be mandatory. However I think the fine might be a bit much. The reason for this is because nobody wants to be fined because they felt none of the people running should be elected. Or because they were to busy with their lives to worry over voting. So I am not sure if you can make voting mandatory with out the fine because it will just be the same as it is now. However it could possibly encourage people to vote. If people see that voting is important enough to have a law made for it maybe they will feel obligated to vote. Most people never really thought their vote counted for much but if they see that there will be a Law made about it they will feel that maybe their vote is important. Also it is still illegal not to vote and people know that just because there are no consequences doesn't mean they can break the law. The will still acknowledge and accept the fact that voting is mandatory and it's the law.


So in conclusion I think voting should be mandatory but without the fine or maybe a really small fine like $30. So it isn't going overboard but its enough for people to think voting doesn't cost anything and if i do I'll save $30 and spend on something more useful. That concludes my Reflection thank you

Election Reflections !

           As you know in Canada's laws, you must be 18 or older in order to vote in elections. But we are given a chance in something called "Student Vote", where us students, have the privilege to vote for a party in the elections. 

           In my personal opinion, I found that NDP election group was more suited for my needs and concerns, so I voted for them. Why you may ask? Well, out of my own nature, I'd like to see a change in poverty, and the one of NDP's main goals to achieve, is to make poverty disappear. But the main reason I voted for the NDP, was because the Liberals have been running for quite a while now, and I'm not seeing much change to the more needy people. For example, the Liberal is just being more kind to the prosperous. The changes they're doing is only better for the more wealthy, and helping much of the poor. The NDP is more social-friendly. When I say 'social-friendly', I mean that they're more people orientated, and making a better social environment. Not only that, but there are some complaints about the government, and how they're not seeing much change going on while the Liberals are running, and I think it's time for a little change.

           Given the opportunity to vote, I think spoiling a ballot is quite improper. Every single vote counts for a lot. Imagine, if one person spoils a ballot, not much effect happens right? What if it doubled, two spoiled ballots, not that big. Then double it again, and again, and sooner or later, you would end up with about 80 or more spoiled ballots. Voting opportunities are a privilege, ladies and gentlemen. Don't abuse it and let it go to waste. Those votes can really make a change between the counting, and can even lose a party a sitting.

            In my opinion, I think that voting in Canada should be mandatory. I think this because I think it's right that everyone has to share their opinions on which party is right, and what's not right. If you think about it, if not everyone votes, and people start complaining about the government, they can't blame the government, since they didn't vote. If you just vote, it would help a lot. Canada should pass a law that it is required to vote for an election group, but if they don't, they will be fined with charges. The charges won't be too much, but enough to make the message stick in the citizen's mind.

            Looking at the media during elections can change one's mind about voting for a specific group. The media can spread dirt on a certain group, and could possibly make it lose quite a few voters. Looking at the media during elections, the media can affect the outcomes of an election. it can show a positive or negative outlook on certain groups. In my opinion, the media shouldn't play by favourites. If they did, then elections would be completely unfair, since dirt can be tossed around anytime.

            This was my opinion on the elections that passed. (PS: I couldn't do the vote thingy on the CBC website, my answer won't load :c)
