Im A Criminal

A few days ago I read an article called “I’m a criminal And So Are You”. The article mainly was about how people who go to jail and serve thee time for the crime they committed and after they get out they don’t have a lot of rights , at least not the same rights as people who haven’t been to jail. The article also stated that everyone has committed a crime but the people who are locked up were the only ones that were caught. The writer says that everyone has committed a crime or broke the law before there for everyone should have equal rights doesn’t matter what you did because you have already served your time .
I agree with the writer. I think that if a person gets out of jail after they have served there time to society they should be allowed to have full citizenship and be apart of the community , they shouldn’t be treated any different. A person has did they’re twenty five years in prison and they have changed there life around they shouldn’t be treated any different than a person who has a committed a crime but just hasn’t been caught. People shouldn’t be discriminated on everyone should be able to participate in everything that is going on. Half the people that were put in jail didn’t even do the crimes. The were falsely accused. And when they get out of jail people look down upon them. In conclusion people shouldn’t be treated differently because a crime they committed almost thirty-five years ago.

Photoshopped or Not? A Tool to Tell


A few days ago I read an article about pictures being photoshopped or not. The article basically stated that most magazines have found ways to photoshop there pictures and make the people look bigger or skinnier then the picture really showed. It also said that photoshoping pictures isn’t good because the young girls that read the articles might try to be like them girls and they think that photoshoping will lead to teen starvation and maybe even death.


I think that the person who wrote the article is right because a lot of girls want to be like the models they see on the magazines and they might go all out just to be skinny . they might even starve their self just to be like the models and I don’t think that is cool. People should not starve them selves to be like some one else when you yourself is a beautiful person. You should be youself before you try to be somebody else.
