Take a look at Anthony’s Blog

What new information has emerged?

Well as you know that North Korea is freezing nuclear bombs so that they can send them over to America.  There are 6 nations working on this and those nations are: US, North and South Korea, Japan, China and Russia.  South Korea, China, the US and Russia - but not Japan - will provide 100,000 tonnes of fuel oil or an equivalent value of economic or humanitarian aid.South Korea, China, the US and Russia - but not Japan - will provide 100,000 tonnes of fuel oil or an equivalent value of economic or humanitarian aid. 

What did you fing interesting about this topic?

The thing I found interesting was that you could freeze nuclear bombs.  I found that interesting because I never new you could freeze nuclear bombs and also that makes them not explode.  Another thing that I found interesting was that 6 different countries were working together so they could ship the bombs from North Korea to America.

What did you like about the initial blog?

What I liked about Anthonny’s blog was that it was very informative towards me because I found out allot of new things that I had never known before.  Also I find North Korea very interesting because I think it is very wrong to make all the people stay in North Korea because it is like keeping animals in captivity. 

Renaissance Person

The person who I would consider being a “Renaissance Person” would be Albert Einstein.  I know that he is over 128 years old (and already dead) but he wasn’t in the Renaissance time period.  I think he would be considered a “Renaissance Person” because he contributed so much to the world.  The things he contributed that I thought were very important were basically all his scientific theories because he was a world known scientist (the most famous theory was e=mc2(squared).  I think Albert Einstein is a very great man and deserves every bit of his famousness. 

 This is a very famous picture of him and shows that he has a sense of humour.

current events- 16 people were killed because of a suicide bomber!

What is the issue?

  16 people were killed and 33 wounded  just because 1 suicide bomber wanted to kill herself.  There were about 200 police recruits standing there when she jumpped.  The suicide bomber was in  Baghdad and was outside of the Muqdadiyah police station when she jumped. 

Who was involved?

The 200 police recruits were involved because they were the ones standing there when she got killed. The  women of course because she was the one that made this event happen. And also the 33 people that were wounded and the 16 people that were killed were also involved. 

Who is affected and how?

The people who were affected was the suicide bomber because she caused this mess and killed 16 people, so the 16 people who got killed because they got killed by the women that bombed it, the 33 people who got wounded because they got hurt badly and were scared for life, and most probably the 200 police recruits because they all have the vision of the bomb going off and a picture of a innocent person jumping and killing plenty of people.

What would you do if you were directally involved?

The thing I would do is trying to talk to the lady that was going to jump and find out why she wanted to jump and bomb herself/ kill herself.  The other thing I would do if that didn’t work is trying to find a way to make the bombs not go off and try to save her life some how and some way.
