1. I thought this movie was kind of interesting even though it was in black and white. I kind of got the people mixed up at times because they had really weird names, but it had a decent story line and the ending was entertaining. However, I didn't like that it ended with just Smith fainting and people carrying him out of there. I thought it was funny how Paine let him go on and on about anything and everything really. The assistant like the girl that always helped Smith write the bill and pass it was really eager about Smith and helped him out throughout the movie, which is different because typically senators are on their own. It was sad how Paine made stuff up about Jefferson Smith because they had a strong connection before that since Paine knew Smith's father. Basically Smith just went on and on about why there should be a boy's camp instead of a dam.
2. I think that Jefferson Smith was a republican because of the way he persevered throughout the video and the way he talked among his colleges. They brought up land and a fight over who is going to build on it and in the beginning Paine and Taylor were working together discussing in the room about the dam and this boy who would replace the last senator. I think that Paine is also a republican because of the way he acted and where they sat. I think he would continue to take part in politics after he wakes up from fainting. He probably wouldn't have stopped if he hadn't of fainted.
3. Jefferson Smith is similar to Mark Kirk. I feel like Jefferson Smith came from a little hometown just like Mark Kirk. Although he might not have attended a college like Blackburn, or had an previous military training since he looked pretty young and all the other senators referred to him as "boy." However, just as Jefferson Smith worked with Paine, Kirk worked with John Porter. Jefferson Smith was probably out of the senate for a while because of his fainting issue, but so was Mark Kirk only his was due to a stroke. Senator Kirk had to walk back up the steps of the Capital building after that and people cheered him on. Just like how people cheered Jefferson on when he was rambling on about why the boys needed a camp.

I'm in the middle of supporting and not supporting making an amendment for flag burning because although it is very disrespectful to burn a flag, that flag was not the first flag and it is a First Amendment right for someone to burn the flag if they do not agree with it. I think a lot more people would be happy if we did make an amendment for it to be against the law, but they would also have to edit the "freedom of speech" part in the First Amendment. However, that could lead to a lot of angry people as well.

I think that the video was more entertaining than reading it out of the book, but it was still kind of hard to follow. My favorite part of the Declaration would be all the rights that are basically read off. Like the He shall not.... (all of those). The reason I chose that is because it somewhat gives you a sense of freedom from all the unnecessary things that are taking place and all the wrongs that are happening. It kind of ties everyone together and creates a sense of peace.

In the 1980's Sandra Day O'Connor was placed on the Supreme Court by Reagan. Later on in the 1990's, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was also placed with the Supreme Court by Clinton. I think that was an enormous advancement for women because that was one of the first steps leading up to creating a woman friendly workplace. Showing that women can do a "man's" job.

Can we talk more about voting and things in that area?

Government is pretty interesting and I can't wait to start in on this class! :)

This seems to be a very risky topic because most people are very open about who they want to be elected. I don't like anyone that is running. Sanders was okay, but I don't like Hilary or Trump. I'm definitely old enough to vote because I turned 18 in July. However, if I had to choose I guess I'd vote for Hilary just because Trump is always making a joke out of everything.

My expectations of the class would obviously have to be learning something in here. Which we will. :) Along with taking something out of the class (not physically), but something that I'll always think about after high school.

My expectations of government would have to be learning more about politics and why people always stick with one political viewpoint. Possibly learning about how the government works. For example- how they came up with the laws and what makes our government system so different from everyone else.
