Afghan Girls Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School
In the article, "Afghan Girls Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School" is informing readers how girls in Afghan that goes to school has been discriminated & hated. For example, its common for women in Afghan to just stay home and cook, take care of kids, and do the house cleanings its sort of like the men are more able to get their education than women. However, most men in afghan wants women to stay clueless an ignorant about alot of stuff while they are getting taught something each day that is new. Today victims that are girls are getting acid thrown in their faces because they are going to school to learn. These acid attacks usually happens as the girls are walking home and going to school. Shamsia Husseini is a student of Mirwais School for Girls that has been a victim of a acid attack. As she was walking to school a man in his motorcycle that seemed like a completely ordinary person. Her mother was telling reporter that all the adult women in their area are not able to read or write and she was sending her daughter to school for the proper education that will not only make her have better benefits but will not make her stupid.(in other words ignorant) I completely agree with Shamsia mother because every woman deserves to be able to learn things and not just only be stupid little things that be in the house all day and do work. I believe this is completely not right how women in Afghan are treated. They are human being too they are not animals they should have their equal right to go to school. Its not fair how the men and boys are able to get smarter each day but the women gets more ignorant each day.

Zimmerman goes to court over teen's killing
In the article "Zimmerman goes to court over teens killing"reporters Tamara Lush and Greg Bluestein is telling readers that Zimmerman is in court and the judge and jury is deciding what punishment should be. Zimmerman has a second degree charges held against him for what he has done. Trayvon Martin family is waiting for his punishment to happen. Zimmerman took the life of a teen that had plenty of goals that he wanted to accomplish in life like me. Zimmerman is hoping to be able to meet Trayvons family but they refused. Trayvons family wants him to get his punishment and not be in their face of for him to be seen by them. Zimmerman was crying all night the 1st night he was in holding in the cell. It's crazy how the whole time he was in the court room he kept replying to the judge as "Yes sir" and "No sir. Zimmerman is completely wrong for going out his way and killing Trayvon because the other police told him to leave him alone. Zimmerman didn't take no as an answer and still chase the teen down and shot him, because of what..because he was black! Zimmerman seems to be so scared cause he know he gonna get it and get beat up everyday. Just to think a teen like me that was breathing 2 months ago is gone and never coming back. I believe Zimmerman deserves to get executed not only because he killed an innocent teen, its because he stereotyped a young black teenage boy as up to no good because he was wearing a hoodie. What the heck black people can't wear hoodies now. As long as we are in this country we can wear whatever we want! I truly hope Zimmerman will learn his lesson and this ain't gonna be another trail of Emmit Till.

The Death of Trayvon Martin
A 17 year old african american teen named Trayvon Martin was assassinated. He live in florida in an mostly high class white neighborhood. He went the store and got a bag of skittles and a arizona ice tea for the NBA game coming on. As he was walking back home he felt someone following him. He was talking on the phone with his lady friend and she told him to run. He said no he not gonna run so Trayvon started speed walking. All of a sudden this guy came up start attacking him. He got up and tried to run but the man hurried and shot him in the back. All the neighbors heard his frightening scared cries as he was being attacked. The man that killed him was racist. His name was George Zimmerman and he is 39 years old. George told the police he knew Trayvon was up to no good. All Trayvon was doing was minding his business til this maniac came up and attacked him. Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch person, just because Trayvon had his hoodie up and was black he felt as though he was doing wrong. Trayvon was a good teen just was trying to go to prom, graduate highschool, go to college just like me. Trayvon was a normal teen just like students here at parkway. I believe its sooo messed up what happened to him cause no one should go through that. This was cruel and evil what Zimmerman has done. I always remember what happened to Emmit Till but I wouldn't have known it would happen today. Every black boy wearing a hoodie is not a criminal.I just sad what happened and I truly disagree cause i am a black teen too and that made me feel some type of way same as others.
