Literature group reflection...

What was your book about?
The book i read was "The Great Gatsby", its about a guy named Nick Carraway that lived in New York City. With a neighbor called Jay Gatsby. Gatsby wanted to win Daisy Buchanan's heart, she is married to a man called Tom Buchanan, but his past in in between the love of both him and her. the only way that he could get close to her is making parties and inviting his neighbor Nick Daisy's cousin. Daisy rejected Gatsby. Tom and Gatsby confronted each other in the Plaza Hotel.Gatsby a the end committed murder.

What worked?
What worked is the game that i did at the last minute game my group and i came up with rules and how it would work. The game was great we finished it and we enjoyed it.

What didn't work?
m no able to finish the book in time and have a hard time understanding what in reading.

Obama Socialism

what did you find?

When the words "Obama Socialism", all that came up was Obama's Ageanda on socialism. The republican party mislabeled from socialism for a republican leader.The republican party said that Obama would cause the economic downfall of our nation by painting his beliefs to all that voters that way Obama get more votes.

Do you feel that the label "socialism" is applied appropriately or correctly to Obama, his proposals or his policies?

In the article I found it says that yes what Obama wants to try has actually been tried before by past politicians. A part of the article that talks about previous issues of this states

Do Obama's proposals or policies have historic precedents in America? If so, what happened in the past?

As I went on to read the article it started connecting the past events to Obama's current day plans and it states that the word fascism can't be applied because he is not a fascist, he's a liberal.
