5. Read the first letter to Dear Abby on page D5 (it is at the bottom) about halloween costumes. Do you agree with the advice and should the little girl wear the costume she wants?
I think that the little girl should be able to bring a toy gun and holster with her trick or treating because it is a toy and would not be harmful. I also agree that the toy gun should not be brought to school because it would not be appropriate and the costume would still be relevant.
Short Answer:Today begins early voting across the city. There are a number of important issues on the ballot and the last few days of the newspaper have been filled with information, advice and commentary. In addition, mailboxes across town have been filled with flyers and advertisements from people running for office. Do you think voting is important? Do you know if your parents vote? What do you think you are supposed to do as a responsible citizen in a democracy? Do you have any ideas what some of the major issues are this election? Do you think local elections play any role in the bigger national political process?
I think that voting is important because everyone has the right to express their opinion on who they think should be running for office and who should win. My parents do vote because they feel the need to contribute to the community and got for who they think should win. I think that all people are responsible for voting in our community for who they want to win the election and anyone able to vote should do so. I don't really keep up with the elections because I can't vote but I do know that there is a lot of controversy about who should win and their motives to be in office. I think that our city and state elections affect the nation because their decisions change what happens in our area and how we deal with that.
