“timeless advice on falling in love”

The topic about love can be interpreted in many different ways: words, actions, and feelings. Steinbeck wrote a letter to his son because he knew that he was in love with this one girl. Steinbeck divides love into three main points. The first point was that its not bad to fall in love with someone, fight for the love of someone else. Second point was about the different types of loves there is; good or bad. The third point was Steinbeck giving the pat on the back about not being scared to lose a special one. If it wasn't meant to be, then it wasn't.

How To Get To Graceland

I like reading when I’m alone if I’m into the book itself. There’s times where I just want to keep going to the next page. When I'm reading a book that is more complex and has more details, I need help to sort out information. Sharing out is when you could collect ideas from others and compare or add to what you have.
Learning a new idea is difficult when being taught with a specific way to do the problem. Correcting is hard to do if you’re only seeing your own work that you did. You learn not to do the same mistake over and over again. When you don't correct you're stuck with the same outcome.
Paul Simon had a different way of thinking and showing how he feel by composing music. Not any type of music but the music in where he intertwined the culture of the African American. To live the culture and hear the music he took a trip to Africa and make music instead of trying to copy how it would sound. He was surrounded by "different people" as it was referred in the 1900s.

LA Times

The L.A. Teacher strike has caused students to skip to school. The result to this case is the lose of money within the district. Teachers are not getting payed as they went on the strike. The total amount of wage money is $10 million dollars.
There is a possibility that both the teachers and the superintendent can decide on an agreement. As the superintendent can hire more teachers and maintain smaller classes. With smaller classes learning is more possible. The teachers will end the strike and they will return back to their jobs.
