Americans should have more holidays and longer vacations


            The Americans deserve more breaks and longer vacations. It is because they work hard and thus need time to satisfy themselves as well. Americans really believe in the dictum of providing themselves more holidays and longer vacations because they have to come back smoothly towards their work domains and give their best concentration towards work ethos and realms.

            More holidays are required because the Americans work extremely hard and devote their own selves whole-heartedly towards their work ethos (Author Unknown, 2011). It is of paramount importance to know that they will be requiring more in terms of vacations because they have to refresh themselves. Americans deserve more in terms of their fun and frolic related activities as they help them to enjoy with their family and friends on different locations within America as well as the rest of the world (Monroe, 2010).
            Longer vacations would get them back on their feet. They would allow the Americans to feel that they are more concentrating towards their work tasks and activities. Longer vacations would put them at comfort with regards to knowing that they will be giving in their best when they have enjoyed their holidays and long vacations (Author Unknown, 2011).

            AT the end, it would be sound to state that Americans deserve more holidays and longer vacations because they can strike the perfect balance between work and enjoyment. They know that they can give their best when the work becomes their priority and derive the enjoyment when there is a dire need to do so.

Illegal immigrants are affecting negatively the United States


Immigration to the United States has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States. The economic, and social, aspects of immigration have caused controversy regarding ethnicity, economic benefits, and jobs for non-immigrants, settlement patterns, impact on upward social mobility, and crime, which is bad. .

Now in the U.S the percentage of illegal immigrants is enormous (The illegal immigrant population of the United States in 2008 was estimated by the Center for Immigration Studies to be about 11 million people, down from 12.5 million people in 2007 Other estimates range from 7 to 20 million. According to a Pew Hispanic Center report, in 2005, 56% of illegal immigrants were from Mexico; 22% were from other Latin American countries, primarily from Central America; 13% were from Asia; 6% were from Europe and Canada; and 3% were from Africa and the rest of the world) which I considered bad. There are people coming from all over the world, and the majority of them are coming here just because they need money, refuge or an easy life that they think this government will provide to them.

Illegal immigration in the US is also bad because the population is growing every day, and which is worse is that they are living here without documents, such as social security, On the other hand, the illegal immigrants affect the economy of the country because they usually work here just to send money to their own land which is prejudicial for the entire united states, in addiction many immigrants borrow money from native people who trust them, although they abandon the country without paying any coin of that money, leaving those people with problems. Furthermore, it is bad because these illegal immigrants do not pay taxes, which affects the economy too.

The crime is another fact to analyze, searching on internet I have found that the highly publicized murder of Arizona rancher Rob Krentz in March 2010, suspected to have been committed by an illegal immigrant, provided a strong rallying cry for immigration opponents and called public attention to other crimes. Notably property crimes committed by foreign nationals during their border crossings into the U.S. Krentz had previously reported that illegal immigrants had done over $8 million dollars in damage to his ranching operations during a five-year period, and in the wake of his murder, interviews with his family and friends focused on similar crimes and break-ins committed by immigrants.
Finally according to all these information, we can see that illegal immigrants are affecting incredibly the country. They are affecting the economy, security, population, social life and culture.

Summary



By the summer the news of what had happened on the animal had spread across half of the country.  Snowball and Napoleon used the pigeons with purpose of spread the news.
One day in October, Jones, all his men, and half a dozen others from the neighboring farms, attack Animal Farm trying to obtain the farm back. They walk up the laneway through the main gate. They are all armed with sticks except for Jones, who carries a gun, but what the humans did not know was that Snowball had extraordinaire tactics prepared with all the animals. After an initial skirmish where the pigeons and geese attack the humans, Snowball attacks them, supported by Benjamin, Muriel and all the sheep. The men repulse this attack with their sticks, and Snowball sounds the retreat. They fall back to the farmyard, pursued by the men, who think that they have triumphed. However, they have walked into a trap.
As soon as the men are in the farmyard, a number of the larger animals appeared from the shed behind them, and cut off their retreat. Snowball charges at Jones and then Jones shot at Snowball and wounds him.
Now Boxer joins the attacks strikes one of the men on the skull, apparently killing him.
After that the other men run for their lives back down the laneway and out the gate and the invasion was over.
Finally, the animals created a military decoration called animal hero which honored boxer and Snowball.

Some of my experiences in the U.S

 Exactly 9 months ago I arrived to this country with a dream in my mind, which is to become a priest, and to fulfill this dream I had to leave my country; I remember that the hardest time of my life was when I said goodbye to my family at the airport in Colombia, which was a moment of feelings and obviously of sadness, my father who is the strongest in my family , could not hold the tears back, it seemed to my mother  as though a part of her life was leaving,  and my brothers kept saying "we love you, we love you “ at that time I felt like I left half of  my life back in Colombia and the another half was with me, but what gave me encouragement was that I was leaving everything to make my dream a reality, I was leaving everything to become what I want to be for the rest of my life, hence it was a really positive motivation.
Then, when I arrived to this country, everything was amazing for me, Times Square, one of the MOST famous places in New York City, was definitely impressive for me, every single building was big, there were a lot of lights, many neon signs and there was a considerable number of people from all over the world, which was unbelievable for me.
I had furthermore the opportunity to be in the Empire State Building which was built during the Depression between 1930 and 1931, and it has become the world's tallest office building with 381 meters (1,250 ft.) tall from the base to the roof; 373.2 meters (1,224 ft.) from the base to the top floor; and 448.7 meters (1,472 ft.) from the base to the antenna/spire.

Hence I have been enjoying every single moment in the U.S, and I have known many other places, but if I mention them I would have to write a lot, which is what I do not want,  finally, I just have to say that the U.S  is amazing, the U.S is the best place where I have ever lived.

Millions of people inspired by Gula's story.

Perhaps a simple story can change the way that people think, and this was what happened with Gula’s story, which begins with a photograph of an Afghanistan girl (Gula), a photograph in which people can observe a glance of desolation without hope in a little girl who has lived the horror of refugees because of the wars. This gives an idea to humanity about how people in refugees camps have to live every single day, showing us the cruelty that children, elderly and women who are living in refugees camps have to endure. This has given to humanity a distinct perception of their life, showing the reality that we do not want to see, which has inspired a huge number of people to help those human beings in need all over the world.
