Bellringer 19-19-13

Read the following, and write a three to four sentence response.

I honestly dont think that video games cause any of this violence that everone thinks its does. I think that there just tryin g to blame it on someting rather than saying you was being a bad parent. I think that the parents should take some of this blame and fix it. They should try to keep a better eye on there kid and have some family time rather than buying a kid everything he/she wants.

1. Kevin Cosgrove
Dad-of-three Kevin, 45, was one of the few people still on the line to emergency services as the South Tower collapsed. The Aon Corporation vice president’s frantic call ended abruptly with screams and the sound of debris falling on him. Hearing the actual last words of this victim makes it more personal. It makes it seem like I was actually there on that horrible day.

2. Melissa Harrington Hughes- http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/chilling-final-words-of-those-who-417979

Melissa Hughes makes a call to her husband that is still in bed to tell him that she loves him and will always love him. She then makes a call to her dad, telling him what happened and that she loves him. This, again, makes it more personal. It makes you think about what the person on the other end of that phone went through.

3. Brian Nunez- http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/chilling-final-words-of-those-who-417979

Brian Nunez was struggling to breathe when he tried to ring brother Neal twice, but his brother Neal was asleep, coming home from a nighshift. Brian told his brother in a message that a plane crashed into the Trade Center, and that it was on fire. He said to tell everyone that he loves them, and if he doesn't get out, goodbye. His brother, Neal has always wondered how that call would have gone. It really makes you think about what the people left behind went through. It hurts to know that for some of these people, they never got to say goodbye.

Bellringer for 9-11-13

read the article and then write a five sentence response to what you feel about privacy versus security.

I reallly dont know how I feel about it. Honestly I think if its to protect us from terrorism. I don't like how they could still look in to our private lives. I want more privacy than anything else but at the same time I want more security. But security is also a very important point so im undecide.
