ChannelOne News

Section One
The article I chose to write about is the Teacher in Sudan. Many people are divided about how they feel about this topic. I don't think she should get charged with anything or go to prison for any amount of time. In every article I read it talked about what a common name Muhammad is. She told friends and family that she had never intended to insult or offend anyone. She told the students to pick some names to vote on, and the names that the the kids proposed were Abdullah, Hassan, and Muhammad. A 7 year old boy that was defending her said he did not have the prophet in mind when he suggested to use this name (that almost all his classmates voted to use) but simply because this was also his name. The kids would take the bear home on weekends and then write about what they did with it. It was simply a fun, educational project. Little did she know the world would get so offended. So I think that all the protesters are over reacting-obviously she didn't try to hurt anyone or try to insult the prophet!

Section Two
A fun game to play is Word Play. I got 9 out of 10. Some of the questions are confusing but they are pretty easy. I like this game because a lot of the time I enjoy doing word games. Another game to play is the World's Hardest Hangman. It's not very hard, but it's pretty long so I just quit after answering 20 of the questions. I got 15 correct and 5 incorrect. It is a fun game and as the questions it asks you names of celebrities. A few of them I have never heard of, but I could figure out almost all of them.
