-I believe Para Teresa is written in both English and Spanish to get that deeper meaning across. It is suppose to catch the readers attention and involve them more into the reading. If the poem was strictly written in English, I think I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did. Since I am familiar with some Spanish, the I was able to follow the poem from both perspectives and cultures.
6. Summarize the article that you researched on Proposition 30
-As we all know, the last few years haven’t been easy for students and teachers in California public schools. Starting from finding it almost impossible to get the classes we need to affording the tuition; college has definitely been a struggle. Beginning in November, voters will decide whether to approve a temporary sales tax increase and income tax hike on the state’s highest earners to restore some of those cuts. Jerry Brown wants to tax the “wealthiest” so that school cuts will decrease. I believe taxing the wealthiest is un-fair because that money is worked hard for, not just given too. Aggravated by budget cuts, the state now spends about $8 billion less on education than it did five years ago. Caused by these budget cuts, many districts have had to minimize classes and programs. Others have had to lay off teachers or reduce the number of school days. After looking at quite a few articles on Proposition 30 I feel that I have a better understanding of what is going on. I am able to understand both sides of the argument.
