Academic Language Week 22 - Felons Voting

I believe that felons should not be allowed to vote. felons already comitted a crime, they shouldnt have a say for our econemy. I think that this is complex because they messed up and have to pay time for it. Felons already messed up for themself we dont need them to mess up for everyone else to. This is revelent because voting isnt going to affect them, if there locked up. There should be  a system for them not to vote, i think that would be a good source because what they have to say dosnt matter because they messed up for them self.

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

My favorite poet is Mya Angelo because she writes her poems with meaning. I really like her poem called  " Still I'll Rise" because she gives me a lot of inspration in her poems. When I read her poem it motivated me. I felt like anything is possible. Also i like to read out side the box and to see what everything means. I can relate myself to some of the things she writes about.
