Leonardo’s Blog
What he doesn’t know is that he is not alone. I’m going through the same situation. My classes are long and the most part of the class you don’t have to copy just listen and if something come to debate give your point of view. So, sometimes that’s kind of boring. But just like him I will to try my best each semester and although class are long and stressful the best we could do is do are best and be patience that everything will be recompense in the future.

Homosexual Couples Must Be Allowed To Marry
I feel that marriages between gays or lesbians should be given the same status as heterosexual marriages. Although heterosexual people think that gay people should not be thinking they can broaden the institution of marriage to include themselves. I say they should be able to do it. Even if the institution of marriage is recognized be the church and homosexuality don’t. Some religious leaders are the most forceful advocates of same-sex marriage. I remember that one time when I was in a reunion I heard someone saying that in Hawaii alone, many faiths such as the reform and reconstructionist branches of Judaism, Quaker, Buddhist, Episcopal and many individual protestant congregations are involved in the pro-marriage campaign. But now I think that on the opposite side of the coin there are many faiths that condemn gay marriage. They feel that these people defy the Bible.
I feel that gay people have given a reason that carries enough weight for the government to legalize same-sex marriage. Gay people should fight for the right to marry. Gay couples should be afforded the same benefits as heterosexual couples.

Web Design
Well there are many different types of essays, but actually they could be grouped into four categories:
- Narration: The Personal Experience Essay
- Description: Descriptive Essay
- Exposition: The Process Essay
- Persuasion:The Pro-Con Essay
Narrattion
Have you ever asked a grandparent to tell you a story about a long time ago? All of us have at some point did, because we like to hear what happened before.When they responded what he or she was doing was narrating a story,telling about events and actions that occurred in the pass.
Most of the time we use narration when we want to tell an experience that happened during a particular time.Also when we want to write it in chronological order and give descriptive details.
DESCRIPTION
Description is more used in poems,specially when you want to appeal to the senses and give a verval picture.
Just A Thought !!!

Red Lotus Blossom
My research led me to know that wasn’t a “Ren flower,” like she called. It’s was really a red lotus blossom. In Japanese, the word for lotus is hasu; it’s writing as a character that also reads as ren, so I guess that’s why she called it like that the flower, so she will remember him.
Anyway according to Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity and divine birth. http://buddhism.about.com/cs/art/g/Lotus.htm .
But you know what I think that a red lotus, however, has a more specific meaning. It is the flower of the heart- of love and passion. It is the flower for true love for the love of your life.

Classmate's Blogger
She’s right when she said “that everything happen for a reason,” because you could know what you want, but you will never know what could happen in the way. She also mentions the strength you most have to overcome any difficulty that you have. And once again I agree with her, because I think you need to be brave. You have to rise above the fear in your own heart. Or you won’t be able to find loveor happiness.
I believe; you just have to enjoy being here. Because although you have problems, you have to think that’s great to be alive.

Why All The Indifferent ???
Erika's Blogger
In her second paragraph she mentions the type of weather. And she also gives some facts about people visiting Colombia. After that she said the most important economical and social characteristics of the country.
She gives brief but general information about the country and she mentions most of the main points that someone has to know when it comes to know Colombia.
When you start reading her article you could notice the excitement and feeling she had talking about her country. She really reflects her emotions in her writing.

Blogger Summary
I like the fact that at the end she said that “Even though she have learned a lot, it is impossible for her to say that she is now a believer.” I find that interesting because although she talks about this exciting topic and give you all this helping information; she still had her doubts about the whole thing.
I think that’s a really good writing because although she’s not convinced the whole way that didn’t stop her to write it or give her point of view.

GLBT a Choice or Act of God ?
There are several places in the Bible where it talks about homosexuality. The Bible has nothing positive to say about men and women sleeping with the same sex. In Leviticus 20:13, it states ''If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable act, they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltiness is upon them.”
Homosexuality has been around as long for as there is recorded history. Through the years, however, the opinions towards homosexuality have changed. Now, homosexuality is being labeled as a genetic trait rather than as a psychological problem. But not everyone believes this to be true.
Some people still asking if is it possible for one to choose his or her sexual orientation? Is one's sexual orientation something that can be changed, or is it a fixed attraction? These are a few questions, among many others that have been raised by researchers and religious organizations, as well as everyday people. Particularly, over the last decade there have been various debates over whether sexual orientation is based on genetic factors or whether it is a choice.
Most researchers find that homosexuality, like many others psychological conditions, is due to a combination of social, biological, or psychological factors; including a postnatal environment that have an impact on one's sexual orientation. This is just one specification that one's sexual orientation is determined at a young age, and is a lifestyle that is not chosen.

IS DIVERSITY THAT OBVIOUS?
The 2nd blogger is about thinking about Cultural Diversity. She said “that diversity is the variety of human cultures, social structures, belief systems, and strategies for adapting to situations in different parts of the world”, society should teach cultural diversity in school in order to maximize its benefits for all cultures.
The last one is Diversity at Church; some churches seem to be a place were segregation is reinforced. Church’s should not teach that; instead of that they should be a role model for other community.
In my personal opinion I think these three articles express a good writing, not just for the fact that had good grammar, spelling and punctuation. But because it had fluent expressions and the purpose is clear. She gives lot information with enough details about the program. By the type of writing that she wrote you could see that she has writing skills. Also the ideas are interesting and important. Her organization is logical and effective. The details that she gives help readers understand and appreciate the article. The writer show that she cares about the topic from her very strong opinion. There’s no doubt about how this writer feels about the whole Diversity program. Her clear purpose in the article is to make people understand that diversity is not, and should not be a negative thing in society.
Fairies
Although you never have seen one, they exist. They are small luminous beings who appear frequently in the deep forests. Fairies are often depicted as diminutive winged humans with magical powers.
Those magical beings encourage the hope that the innocent imagination of childhood is still present in our hearts. The world of Fairies is a mixture of a mysterious enchantment, a charming beauty, but also of a huge ugliness, of insensitive shallowness, humor, malice, joy and inspiration, fear, laughter, love, and tragedy. Love, but also abandonment and death, may follow under their spell. Like human beings, they live in a universe of contradictions.
The belief in the existence of fairies is common to the most diverse cultures. It origin dates back to myths and legends of each culture. One of those legends assures that fairies are fallen angels or dead pagans not good enough to be admitted in the Eden, or not wicked enough to go to hell. That is why they were compelled to live eternally halfway.
They are grouped in generic families based on big differences among them, and the elements they inhabit or domain. They could be classified as follows:
Air Spirits
Water Spirits
Earth Spirits
Fire Spirits: Salamanders

The meaning of a stolen heart
If you can still act cool and do everything perfectly,then it's not th ereal thing.
It would mean you care about your own feelings more than the other person's.
You've met someone who completely throws off the balance in your heart... that's
what it means to have your heart stolen.
