Excellent Speech: Clap for Xi Jinping   (soft)    The Chinese government made an app that you can virtually clap for the president. They have made a game that you can applaud the president's speech and the people of China that missed it can make up for it by giving "claps" on the game. Users watch short clips of the speech after the clip is over, players have 18 seconds to give as many claps as they can by pressing the yellow button at the bottom of the phone screen. The game was played 860 million times since October 18th, 2017.   NEO-NAZIS CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER IN GAINESVILLE   (hard)      Three Neo-Nazis were arrested on Thursday, October 19th, 2017 for allegedly shooting people who had been holding anti-Nazi signs following a speech at the University of Florida by Richard Spencer.

The  first article : Timing 4/4      The timing is this article is very good because it happened on Friday and the article was out on Saturday. Trump is always in the public's eye and this deal with Iraq is very important to the country, and world because it could stop a nuclear war. Significance 4/4       I gave the significance 4/4 because it is very significant, people need to know that Trump is  "decertifying" the agreement that the U.S. has with Iraq. That is significant because Trump doing this could ruin the agreement and ruin the accords. Proximity 3/4     The United States is our neighboring country and we back them in mostly everything they do. I gave the proximity a 3/4 for that reason because it is going on close to our country. Prominence 4/4      This is very prominent because everyone always has their eyes on Trump and the things that he decides to do. Trump is always being viewed and talked about, I gave this a 4/4.

Horrible car accident with many injuries.  On Saturday, July, 15, 2015 in Smallsville Canada, there was a car accident on highway 123, at 1:00 o'clock  in the morning. A giant moose stepped onto the highway and caused 3 cars to crash into each other, there were 3 cars that crashed and 6 people were sent to hospital. With help from the local firemen, EMT's and police officers, there were 3 people rescued from the cars, in one case they had to use the jaws of life. There  was no casualties. It took the firemen 2 hours to stop one car from burning. There was extensive damage to all the vehicles, none of them will be driven again. "The fog was very think and it was hard to see the road a head," said Bob Fone, on the way to the hospital, " the moose came out of no where, it was so big, there was nothing we could do to get by it. Fire Chief, George  Icons says " The night was so black and  foggy, and the accident was so bad that we are lucky that there

Journal Entry #2 Starting With The Basics

Article#1        This article is about Jose Bautista, in the article it tells us what happens during his last possible home game in Toronto as a Blue Jay, and all of his accomplishments over the years on the team. On September, 24th, 2017 the game took place at the Rogers Center in Toronto. Bautista might have his last game because he is older than most players and wants too much money, and his is way to out if his prime to be asking for so much money, and people don't expect the team to be able to reach a mutual agreement. In the lead of the article, it mentions the stats in the game and that would capture the reader's attention to read on, I think that it was a good lead because it made Jays fans very emotional saying that this might be his last game in a Blue Jays uniform in Toronto.  During an interview after the game, Jose said, " It's good to be recognized and it's good to feel the love. I appreciate everything that happened today." Yes, the important i
