4. Title of the article Packers tie gets salesman fired

5. A summary of the article

The car dealership’s general manager (Jerry Roberts) fired a salesman (John C. Stone) because he wore a Packers necktie to work. The Chicago Bears football team lost to the Green Bay Packers the day before the salesman was fired. The fans of the Bears and Green Bay Packers had different views about it. Some fans thought it was right to fire him, some thought it was wrong.

6. Your opinion about the article

I agree with what another manager (Guy Cesario) said. He said, “Good salesmen are so hard to find. To put somebody’s livelihood in jeopardy because of a tie is just idiotic.” I also think it is not necessary to fire a worker for just small things. But, the salesman (Stone) was also wrong in this case because his manager (Roberts) told him to remove the tie five times before he was fired. A worker should listen to his boss.

4 Title of article The Hockey Workout
5 Summary

Bayers teach the people to gain muscle for hokey playing . He says, amateur should focus on

their main muscles. 36 muscles in the midsection of human body must be strong to play hockey

properly. People don’t need so much muscles to play hockey. He said, People always think that

hockey player must have big muscles that isn’t true. People in the first year of hockey playing,

they always will feel sore on their whole body.

One of the hokey player Hedry takes off for three or four week before starting his training.

He lifts weight to regain his muscles because he lost some muscle in season. He prefer to work

out for his whole body.

6 My opinion

If some body want to play hockey who will need to workout constantly. Having big muscles are

not necessary. Being fast more important than having big muscles. Hockey player usually don’t

work out in their season because playing games are enough for them but, after season finishes

they start work out again to regain their muscles.

the Chicago mayoral candidates square off

The article “the Chicago mayoral candidates square off” is about vying to replace Mayor Daley in Chicago. After the Supreme Court ruled that Emanuel can still run for the upcoming election on February 22, the other three candidates have said that they have no time to waste and they have the serious business coming up. One of them had said that the voters will choose the right person to run for their community. Miguel Del Valle said that it’s time to make a big change in Chicago’s neighborhoods.

Title of the article: "Meet the parents, just don't swear"
The article is about adult guy who every time while visiting his parents at Pittsburg feels like "obedient teenager". He said that he should watch every word he says, avoid some kind of jokes, pick certain movies to see. and than he explained why he behave himself like that. Just because parents home is parents home. Because he respects and appreciates those kind and fair people. I absolutely support and totaly agree with him. I think no matter how bad our behave can be with friends, neighbours, people on the street but we should be respectful towards our parents.

titte TOTAL SHOCK BEARS FANS IN DIBELIEF AFTER LOSS AT SOLDIER FIELD TO RIVAL PACKERS.


After the big game in the NFC Championship, one big fan of the Bears Greg Bruno said: "it feels like i was just broken up with".
The whole Chicago in Sunday night used the word "devastated" "heartbroken
" but anyway Wisconsin celebreted like a King.
After that the Bears get depressed and blamed each other.

I think the Bears has a lot of old and overweight people. the team has to renew their players because of that they never won.

A 40 year man was found beaten to dead monday in morgan park. There was a six day span between morgan park homicide and the homicide before it, a 24 year old man shot to dead in west pullman Jan. 18 . Nineteen homicides have been recordered so far this month, Redaye date shows. Twenty homicides were logged in january last year, RedEye determineted.

My opinion:
Even though we are getting down the homicides since last year, this is something frustated for the society nowadays. Im so concerned about all that is happening in our world. We have been destroyed little by little where we live, what we are. I do not know how people can kill other people. We, as a society, need to do something to stop all bad things such homicides and delinquency.We have to realized that we are getting hurt by ourselves.

Emmanuel Proposes Red Line expansion

Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emmanuel on Thursday said his first transportation priority is an expansion of CTA's Red Line, "the backbone" of the city's rail system. He wants to secure federal funding to rebuild deteriorating tracks south to 95th Street, extend the line to 130th and renovate and modernize lines north of Belmont.

In my opion, expanding the Red Line of the CTA can be done but it will require millions of dollars and lot of people will suffer because many stations will be closed. Rahm Emmanuel's ideas is a good one.

Tittle of the Aticle: 1.5 million in tents


January of of last year the earthquake devastated Haiti. The earthquake destroyed people's

homes ,busniesses and everything." Before the earthquake I sold spaghetti and some other food

from a small neighborhood store, since the earthquake I have lived in the tent with my husband

and two teenage daughters. "Frances Etienne said who is the victim of earthquake.Mayor Parent

said recently in her office. We are trying to help them , help them to find a place to live."


My opinion: After I read this article,I recall the earthquake that happend in WenChuan of China.

It almost destroyed everything of WenChuan, nothing was still stand. However people did not

give up, since that people have been rebuilding the new WenChuan. The earthquake can destroy

our homes, but it can not destroy our spirit.
