Alligator River Story
I think that this story says that some people will do anything for the one that they love. In the beginning, Abigail loved Gregory so much that she gave up the one thing most precious to a woman, her virginity. If Ivan was a true friend to Abigail, he would have helped her in her time of need. It wasn’t right of Sinbad to take advantage of her when she was trying to get to Gregory across the river. It is pretty low of a man to do that to a poor, helpless girl like that. If Gregory was anything of a man and truly loved Abigail, He would have listened to her when she tried to explain her self to him. Instead of giving up and watching Gregory get beat up by Slug, Abigail should have kept pleading her case to Gregory till he started to believe her.
I am going to start with the lowest of the low and then work my way up from there. I would have to give a five to Sinbad because he took advantage of Abigail in her time of need and forced her to have sexual intercourse with him against her will. The fourth position would have to be deemed upon Abigail because she gave up on trying to plead her case with Gregory and instead got Slug to brutality beat him up. Next on the list would have to be Gregory. If he truly loved Abigail, he would have listened to her while she explained herself to him and not walked away from her when she needed him the most. The next to last position would have to go to Slug. Even though him and Abigail are friends, it was still not his place to get involved in something that is going on between Gregory and her. The number one spot goes to Ivan. The story really didn’t say much about him though. He did push Abigail away when tried to tell him what all was going on between her and Sinbad. I gave him the number one spot though because I feel that after what Abigail, Sinbad, Slug, and Gregory did, he did not seem like such a bad guy after all.

We are all Humans
I will warn you before you read this. This is probally the lamest blog entry I have ever written. The topic was good but I got a serious case of writers block so please be easy on me. Thank You
Human Rights V. Majority Rule
The attempt to abolish one’s right to a decent job based on there sexual preference is both morally and ethically wrong. If a person can perform their job to the best of there ability, regardless of the fact that if there gay or bisexual or straight, I say let them keep there job. I mean from the way I stand morally on this subject, Everybody has the right to a good paying job in America, which is also the so-called "Land of Oppertunity". The only stipulation to them being openly gay in the work force, is the whole sexual harassment deal. They would have to really watch there backs day to day. Someone who just happens to be anti-gay, could make up some horrible lie and say that the person who happens to be gay, did something to them inappropriately and could get them fired for no good reason. When Communities get in a uproar over a teacher being openly gay, I say that if they aren’t touching the kids in a inappropriately way and there a great teacher, then I see nothing wrong with them teaching our kids or even being role models for them. Whether the kids get taught by gay person or a straight person, the knowledge that goes into there heads is still the same no matter what.
When the people who are for Human Rights clash with people who are for the will of the Majority, a lot of feelings can get hurt over the subject of people being openly gay in the work force. The people for Human Rights will argue that anybody of any sexual preference, who can do there job to the best of there ability deserves to keep it. The people who happen to be for the will of the majority, will argue the saying, “The needs of the many override the needs of the few”. For whichever one, the person who reads this, may be with, just keep in mind that we not only have rights but the majority of us are humans too.
