1) Captain Phillips, the pirates, the marine rescuer team
2) The plot of the story will probably start out right before they're a boarding the ship and introducing the different men that will be on the boat. The story will then lea onto the boat ride and everything fine and normal. They will then realize they trouble of the pirates attacking and a lot of action will start.
The pirates will capture the captain, and the crew will attempt to get him back and fail. Then, it will show the horrible days and how awful they are to Captain Phillips. It will probably be switching back and forth the boat scenes and men that are trying to rescue him. In the end, the rescue team will kill the men and rescue the captain.
3) It was a very huge event, because that isn't a normal thing that happens in everyday life with Americans.
4) The pirates wanted to steal the ship and what was on it most likely.

2) They're tying teachers teaching performance on students outcomes
3) 8
4) The program that romotes interest in science
5) layout, paint, window treatments, lights
This story surprised me a lot. Water is something that we all need, and they put so many peoples' lives in danger by not doing their job well. I hand' heard about this before now, but it scares me that this is happening and so many people could be poisoned when they think they're just taking a sip of water. The people that knew they were poisoning should definitely be punished. They were hurting people knowingly and that should put them in jail. I think if it were to get to the government that the people who knew about it should be punished more, but the ones who worked it should still be punished for not doing a good job like being fired or something.

The most beautiful smile I ever saw happened after a very rough day. I think that's maybe part of why it was one of the most beautiful smiles, because amidst all of the struggling I had just gone through in my day, I was reminded of the happiness people can feel.
I was going through a hard time with a bunch of my friends and questioning whether they even were my friends at the moment and struggling a lot with my grades. In fact, I was just coming from taking a test that I was quite sure I had bombed.
I was so ready to just finally leave school and forget about all that had happened in my my day and throw it behind me, but I had to sit and wait longer to wait for parents because I am still a child who isn't capable of driving herself home. As I was waiting, I saw one of my friends. He was on of the friends that you're not quite sure whether to say hi and you just take turns looking to see if the other is looking to wave, but you just end up going through a very awkward moment. But, there was no one else there so why not talk to him. We talked for a while as he sat and waited for his girlfriend and me for my mom.
After a conversation full of dumb questions just to keep from awkward silence, his girlfriend shows up. I really am thinking nothing of it because it's just another person out of the three thousand something at our massive high school, but I soon learned that she would not just be another person in my life.
Right away from me being introduced by her boyfriend to her, she shows so much joy and smiling. She talks to me with so much enthusiasm as if I'm her best friend that she hasn't seen in years, and yet, we had just met. She had so much energy and a fun attitude towards absolutely everything. She soon made me forget that I was even in a bad mood. Even after I had left and gone home, my good mood continued.
I think that's what life is about, honestly. Living it all in such a positive way and showing joy to others. I think people should live it happy and kind to where others are excited when they see them. So, I made a decision my self to live that way. I'll live everyday as happy and grateful as I can, and maybe I'll impact some people like the one girl did to me. And although maybe I'll never see her again, I thank her for showing me a better way to live and showing me her beautiful smile.

CE 5.3
1) schools would be funded by the cry and save a bunch of money
2) by 2022
3) villanova 77-74
4) New Zealand, because it's gorgeous and I've always wanted to go there
5) I don't really mind the idea of it. I definitely have wanted to post a longer video before, but I wouldn't want people to post dumb, long videos n my feed, but I can just skip them so I don't really mind
Short answer: I haven't really kept up with all of the debates to have a super song opinion on a person for president, but I have heard enough to have an opinion about some things. I know that Trump, Clinton, and Sanders are in. I don't think this country is becoming more united. I think election time brings out th worst in people, because we're all disagreeing and no one takes it well. Everyone running talks horribly about the other candidates, and our country definelty gets more divided. The president is in charge of making all of the people in the country feel safe and sound in our country and lead us to a united country, and thats why I don't believe trump should be. He is trying to convince us that we'll be safe by him kicking everyone but white people out, but that would be tearing our country apart. I think Sanders could be a good president with the equality view, but I disagree with some things like the money disrubution with taxes. Its good I'm not voting, because i still don't really know and eel like no one could really for sure be president.
I haven't really been watching Walking dead, but all of my friends have said that it was Glen. Some other's have the theory of Aaron, but I think it would be more of a main character since it was the end of the season and they made a big deal about it. Many of my friends brought it down to Glen nd Darrell.
