Mystery Disease Part 2

Dear Doctor Billman,
Ecoli is a very severe extremly contagous illness especially in the elderly and young.The recent reports of E. coli cases among children in North Carolina, possibly caused by a petting zoo at the State Fair, has raised awareness of this serious illness. My staff at the Barrow County Health Department is working diligently to prepare a diagnosis on this sudden outbreak. They believe that the reason for this is because of the contact the Tompson family has had with the goats. Susie and Charlies dad had jugded the goat show and Charlie had tooken care of them. While taking care of them he could have easily gotten a strand of E.coli on his hands which remeber is very contageous.Also when Susie was away at camp while the fair was going on she brought back a bag of candy for her younger brother, Charlie. He didn't accept the entire bag instead they spilt them picking colors one by one. Since this diesease is highly contagous sharing that bag of candy could have spread it from Charlie to Susie. As for David, and Donna Jones there is a slightly different diagnoses. In the interview it said that David often helps his friend, Allen, with his daily chore of tending the calves he could have also gotten the strand of E.coli on his hands while tending the calves like Charlie and passed it on to his sister. 

Ways to Prevent E.coli
The staff at the Barrow County Health Department has came up with a quick and easy list of how to prevent your family and you from getting this disease. Cook all ground beef and hamburger thoroughly. Because ground beef can turn brown before disease-causing bacteria are killed, use a digital instant-read meat thermometer to ensure thorough cooking. Also make sure to wash hands, counters, and utensils with hot soapy water after they touch raw meat. If at all possible try to stear clear of unpasturized milk and drink only pasteurized milk. Drink water from safe sources, like municipal water that has been treated with chlorine or bottled water, and above all else make sure your informed and aware of this so that you are not caught off gaurd.

Interview questions
1. When did you begin feeling sick?
2. Have you been swimming lately?
3. Do you normally drink pasturized milk?
4. Have you resently had groundbeef?
5. In the past week have you been in contact with any dairy animals?

Because Of Winn Dixe by: Kate Dicamillo

1. The conflict in this realistic fiction book took place when ten year old Opal moved to Naomi, Florida with her preacher father. Her dad sent her to the Winn Dixie market and on the way she finds a large, ugly homeless dog. This dog got her in more trouble than she had ever imagined but it shortly became her best friend.

2. My favorite character in this book was also the main character, Opal who was a protagonist and static and major. Opal was good at making friends for she many; a few were Otis, an ex- convict who runs a local pet store; Miss Fanny, the librarian who has a desk full of " Litmus Lozenges" a type of candy which her great grandfather invented; and Gloria Dump. A quote from the book that made me realize that she good at making friends was..." Opal; you have been a better friend to me than I believe anyone ever has...."

 3.An interesting authors secret in this book was how she made it into a true classic in my mind. What I mean by that is some people may believe that this book I read was to young for my reading level but honestly it had the best inspiring background story and all in all it was a really fun read.


4. A new word I learned in  this weeks reading was abjure which is a transitive verb and meaning to make legally void.


 5. This book is for sure a book I would do for one of my book commercials because I enjoyed reading it so much I would love to share with my classmates so they to can enjoy reading it as well.

Are Illegal Immigrants Good For The Economy
In my opinion illegal immigrants are BAD for the economy; here are some reasons why....................
1. Almost 60 percent of adult illegal immigrants lack a high school education(that's more than nine times the rate among native born Americans); this leads to many inexperienced, low-skill , workers being employed in some cases preventing american citizens from being employed.
2. 1/2 of Mexican immigrant families use AT LEAST one welfare program.
3. This means big cost for taxpayers. Workers with little education don't earn much money, so they pay little in taxes and use a lot of government services.
4. Illegal immigration also reduces the wages of unskilled Americans.


What worked for our country 100 years ago no longer does. Cutting illegal immigration level is vital to ensure Americas economic prosperity in the future, and for these reasons this is why I believe illegal immigrants are BAD for the economy.

The tragic death of Phoebe Prince demonstrates the terrible impact of bullying. I believe bullies should be treated as criminals because in the eyes of Phoebe and her mourning family that is a statement that is light on the crime and harm done. One of the many sad things about bullying is...............

1) It ruins inocccent kids' lives by not only harrasing them physically but mentally aswell.
2) It plagues them with an unnessicary sense of shame that guards them from expressing themselves and feeling like they fit in.
3) They cannot escape it, in Phoebes case she was not only harrased during school but after hours aswell.
4) Bullying is scary if you are the victim, I can't ponder the thought of having to go to sleep ready for school the next day but knowing I'm only in for yet another sticky situtation!

Bullying is serious and is deffinitally not a pitty thing we can hold off any longer. I  hope you agree with me that after reading this article you too agree that BULLIES ARE CRIMINALS!!!

My opinion on School Lunches

The article I read states that "Chefs across the country are on a mission to make school lunch nutritious and delicious." This all sounds great but with it comes a couple down sides one is "It won't be easy for chefs to put school lunch on a healthier path." This is because the normal school lunches are often processed and packaged with preservatives, fat and salt making them quick and easy to prepare.They also use those foods because......Two they are less expensive therefore it will be more expensive to make this change. Hunger-Free Kids Act, which calls for larger servings of fruits, vegetables and whole grains in school meals will play a large part with this expense problem sky rocketing through the roof. Three parents of the children will not be happy with the increase of money on their child's daily lunch. There are possibilities that if the parents do decide that this is to much to pay more and more students may end up taking their lunch instead of buying.If this continued it could become a major loss! Therefore I believe that we should keep our current school lunches the way they are.
