1. Where does the N-Word Come from? Why does it offend some people so much?

it ushally comes from slavery and from slavery it started being used in a lot of R&B rap songs..

from the rap songs other people started using it . till this day people still doo. some people ushally get offended. only other ad

2. Should non-black people be able to use the N-Word?

i think they shouldnt because they would take it very offensive because when they would say it they know they man it intentually and in a bad way . not only do black people use the n word .

3. Should musicians stop using the N-Word?

like i said black people arent the only ones that use the word . spanish people and many others use it . i think it dapends of the friends you have because thier the ones that always make yu say the word.

4. Do other ethnic groups (for example, Chinese, Jews, and Dominicans) use ethnic slurs like the N-Word to describe themselves? If not, Why?

yes they do use the n word to descibe them selves and others . the n word has many words n everyone uses it in a diffrent and thier own way . like when they call some one , or when they dicribe and talk about someone.

i think the body scannner wasnt that bad .. if they would ask me to go threw the the body scanner iw ould just go throw with out anny scannner . i might evan go in smiling. when i looked at how the body scanner it wasnt evan that bad it was just blue and it showed like the body figure . some people really dont wanna go threww the body scanner so they have to go threw the body check out thing when thier same gender would feel up on thier body . there is no way i would ever let another girl do that -_______- but at the same time i feel like they are going to far like we already ben threw like there scanner and stuff wats the point of that .

1. What are some things you learned about the materials (e.g., glass, concrete, steel) used for re-building ground zero. i leanerd that thos matirials are veryyyy veryyy stonggg and theyyy costt a lot ... i saw how they made the steel and and glass and other stuff ... i learned that the steel that they make is made out of recycle cans and tosters and other things like that. but for this tower there gunaa make sure to make it more sacure and safe in case anything happins similar to the twin towers. they made it fire proof and they made the glass more thicker .

2. What were some of the challenges that the builders faced when creating the new WTC building and memorial fountains? some of the challenges was that they needed to finish it in a certain time . which was before the annaversey of 9/11 . another one was that some people would get hurt.

3. What does the design of the WTC symbolize? What does the design of the memorial fountains symbolize? it symbolizes all the deaths of the twin towers . thats why they put the names there . they want every one to know and remember all the live that were lost that day . they want the people to know all the people that where lost . thats why they did all the names .

4. How will this video affect your memorial design?

i want to make memorial design that everyone would know about . and thats stands out from miles and miles away. i also wan it to be colorful so that it stands out . i also want it be some thing tha would be remembered . i feel bad for all the family members lost . not only people that where inside the building dies buh people that were standing by the building too . so i want to make it special .

Thalia's 9/11
by: techbrarian

First off, I want to tell you what a OK summer I had. Not only did I loose weight , but I also ate a lot. One thing that I didn’t do (but wish I had) was go out more then stay home and also learn how to drive. It feels so werid to be at school becausei feel like iv ben gone for years.

Anyhow, I just watched a Men in Black video clip and it was really dumb . I couldn’t believe that Will Smith has 2 kids . Looking at Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list it’s pretty clear this video was talking about i really dont know . This is because i dont get what was the point of the video.

On #4 of Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list he talks about finding what you love. Besides texting, Facebooking, and drooling over my favorite star *, I’m into some serious stuff. Stuff that not everyone’s into– like going out at 5 oclock in the morning and sit in the east river park :). It’s true! I could spend hours there justt looking at the water and the building and time just vanishes. If you gave me access to a computer with a camera, Garageband, Scratch, Photoshop or 3D design software I would make a video that showed off my talent at drawing. But you know, I’m not perfect at my talent yet. By the end of the year I hope I can draw more . Well, that’s all I have time to write for now– bye!

1.Tell a story about a time you (or someone you know) was accused of something you didn’t do.
ushally i get acused of things that i didnt do when im at home . my mom is always acusing me of things i didn't do .. like i remember when my mom was missing like 300 dallers and she had the balls to blame it on me. this happened like 2 times. i remember finding the money in the bathroom cabnet .but instead of thanking me she acused me even more -___-

2. What is it about you that made someone assume that you were guilty? Your age? Gender? Skin color? Things you’ve done in the past? because she knows that i really like money .. buh she knows that i would never steal 300 dollers . shes just never trusted me

3. Have you ever assumed someone was guilty and later found out they were innocent? Tell the story. one day when i was missing my ipod i was acusing my uncle for taking it because i know hes really sneaky plus he doesnt really have anything so i thought it was him but later on i found out that it was my cousin that borrrowed it .
