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.

Persuasive Essay
Have you ever went to school and the teachers are telling you what you can wear and what you cannot wear? Well, its time for that to stop, teens should be able to express there self freely through dress. Teens should be able to wear what makes them feel comfortable at school. Its an opportunity to see kids be there self.
In the real world there is no dress code. Some people believe that showing to much skin makes a girl look “slutty” for example, my cousin NENE is in her twenties and she chooses to wear short and tight dresses when she goes out and tank tops that shows her back when she is just hanging out with friends. But when most girls wear revealing clothes it makes them feel good. They have pride and not afraid of showing off there body's. When people give them there opinion and tell them they look slutty, then that can damage them and give them an insecurity that would take forever to get rid of. Also, it can lower there self esteem..
It gives teens a freedom to express there self. Most teens are mature enough to pick out there own clothes and see what they want to wear. It makes them feel more confident because people can actually see there personality. For example, if they have a happy personality they are going to wear something that makes them feel proud. When you see teens wear something it can depend on what mood they are in.
There past can affect the way they dress. Some teens have been through a lot. I know that here at SPA we are all foster kids and have all been through something hard in life. Some teens dress the way they do because they never really had the chance to tell anyone how they truly feel on the inside. A lot of teens hold on to there past or those things that are bothering them. So they dress for that certain reason. I know a lot of teens have there own way of dressing so they can be unique and stand out from everyone else.
So in conclusion, every teen has the right to express them self freely. if they need to express them self freely let it be through dress. Every teen has there own style that makes them not blend in but stand out. Teens have there way to show there emotion, some teens will do that through dress. So therefor, I feel that there should be no dress code at schools.
