 1. Describe the trend in Virginia. The younger voters are more democrat than republican in the modern age.

2.  Is this trend similar throughout America? Some of the other northern states are democrat while the southern are starting to get more and more republican.

1. Why is the man in the tee shirt celebrating for what he did? Cartoon's Message

The first step is to get attention of the reader. Step two is getting you to follow how the images go together. Step three is to get the attention of a certain audience. Step four is figuring out the context and what it means. Step five is to use images that represent a nation that everyone knows what it means. Step six is to find out the humor or what the cartoon means.

They use buildings that are used for certain things such as churches and schools that are for any one. They exaggerate the damage done to the buildings and how they are used. Labeling is used to show what the place is called and what it is for. Analogy is showing what the whole cartoon is about and how people react to it. Irony is used to show what the differences are between the quote and what the  article means.

1. It shouldn't be legal cause it is getting rid of troops that are going into the military.

1. Disaffected along the 11% of the public
2. Average Republican
3. Authoritarian Left

I'm proud to be a Republican that meets what I like to live. I'm conservative like most Republicans and I like to make my own decisions. I may have some Liberal in me but it all depends on what you decide to do. Some of the things that I agree to are Democrat and Liberal but its all by some one's stand point in what they believe. I am mostly Republican for what I agree to and believe in.

1. Since the government shut down is over the workers can go back and America can start moving forward again. The economy will try to help bring itself back up to where everything is normal. The debt will go up of course and the laid off federal workers will work again.

I disagree with them changing the name. The bell ringer has been the same since they became a team. They have been known as the Redskins in the NFL for many years and that's how everyone knows their name. No one has said anything for years but it's till now that some one finally said something about it.

Response to grandson: Well let me see. During my life I've had a some good memories and some bad. A good one would be when I graduated from Marshall University and started a small business. Later though I made an investment and my small business then become a thriving business that I could retire in peace. Sadly though I have been in the hospital for some heart problems but for the advancement in technology I was helped and no longer had any heart problems. Actually I was the first one saved by the new heart disease tracker that saved lives after me. So that my life in a nutshell.   -Simon Phipps
