Politics in America
Did you watch the Debate last night?
I think it's important for all of us to be informed members of society and to make our voice heard.
It's looking like this election could be very close, and as such, it's extra important for all of us in the country to think through issues that will affect our lives. Not only will the next president guide the country through the next four years, but during those four years it is very likely that he will appoint 1 or 2 Supreme Court justices, and those judges will make decisions that could last your entire lifetimes. So, in case you're interested in following the polls these last three weeks, here are some that show how President Obama and Governor Romney are doing in the states that matter most:
1. Who's going to win? How do you know?
2. Read "When I Heard the Learned Astronomer"
Write 1 paragraph giving one example from the poem showing that it is a romantic piece.
3.
Contrast Puritans with Transcendentalists
In The American Experience, read pages 70-73, "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards.
And then read pages 456-460, "Song of myself," by Walt Whitman
