Learn about the president and the election too. I don't think I have any expectations for the class, I just want to have a good time.]]> 2016-08-19 17:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/118957080 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/118957153 I would say I have a moderate interest in the Presidential Election. I'd like to be informed on who is going to run the Country. And I have no idea who I'd vote for, but if I were to choose, Id vote for Donald Trump. I'd like to be a little more informed on both of their views before I choose.]]> 2016-08-19 17:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/118957153 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/118959103 2016-08-19 17:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/118959103 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/118959567 2016-08-19 17:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/118959567 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/121383475 I thought that it was interesting how both women finished at the top of their respected classes and were still looked down upon. I also found interesting that they had the mentality that they had to "suck it up" if things weren't the best, so they didn't have problems]]> 2016-09-02 17:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/121383475 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/124145082 I thought that it was much better when it is read aloud then it is read on paper. The emotion behind the words is more prevalent, and the power of the message is clear. 

My favorite part is "All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
This is because it touches a very important truth. That truth is that all men are created equal, and with Rights. The way they describe these rights is my favorite too "Life, Liberty, and pursuit of Happiness"]]> 2016-09-15 17:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/124145082 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/127946167 I Do Support an amendment making flag burning unconstitutional because I believe that it is very disrespectful, and that there should be consequences for your actions. I understand that you have the right to have that freedom, but that doesn't protect you from backlash following it.

I thought that it was fascinating that the movie still held many political similarities. Mr. Smith was a very interesting character because he did not know to be a politician, yet he still worked hard and tried to do what was best for the people. In contrast, it was frightening to see how much power corrupt people can have on our government. Mr. Taylor was able to control the political body of an entire state, and a seat in congress. That is scary to think that can be possible today. ]]> 2016-10-28 02:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/133805092 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/133805450 I think that Mr. Smith was a part of the Republican party when he was elected senator. This is because he does not tie himself to politics, and keeps himself separated from government affairs. He also was in charge of an organization, and some of those ties shows that he wasn't independent either This is almost like Donald Trump in a sense. I think that he would still lean Republican today. I also think that he did not continue in politics, and that he took Ms. Saunders advice he needed to leave so he could stay a decent person. I think that he would have finished out his term and chosen to not run for re-election. And I think he went on to Run the National Boys Club that he passed in Congress.]]> 2016-10-28 02:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/133805450 nwilson17 https://padlet.com/nwilson17/tzlno96xfoo7/wish/133887393 I think that Jefferson Smith would be like Mark Kirk. Mark Kirk is a junior senator for Illinois, who is from the Republican party. Mr. Smith was also the junior senator and I also think he would be a Republican. Kirk and smith also grew up in nature. They were both involved in a type of Boy Scouts. Kirk was also a bridge-builder, and a part of the U.S. Navy Reserve. He was pleasing to the political eye after serving for 23 years in the Navy Reserve, just like how Smith was pleasing to the State by helping out the kids. I would say Smith and Kirk are similar.
