The Letter

"Something only you can get for me." I threw the words around in my head. What would Andy need from me in prison? The letter continued on: "I need you to go to mt house, in my study will be a small safe. The combination is 4267. Open the safe and take out the package, deliver it to 1223 Westroad, NY. That shouldn't be too far away from your work. I really need you to do this for me, please." I wondered why he would need me to do this, but I decided to go check out the safe after work.

Gendercide in India

    In the streets and villages of India, you won't find many women. Each year, female babies are killed or aborted, and many girls are just murdered. Why? Because the gender prefrence in India is men. Raising a girl in India costs money, while boys bring in the money. If a woman is married, her family pays for it. If they do not, the woman may be tortured or even burned to death. If a woman is pregnant, she will be presured to get an ultrasound, to determine the gender of the baby, even though this is illegal. If the baby is a boy, the family rejoces. But, when its a girl, the woman is told to abort it. If she does not, she might be tortured, have the baby aborted by force, or killed. I think this is a terrible thing. No one, let alone an unborn child, should be killed because of their gender. All of this is illegal, but in an interview with the man tasked of stopping this, the Indian governments Secratary of Heath, he did not seem very keen on stopping it. He dogged the question "Do you think that this should be illegal? Letting women be killed like that?" He responded with: "I think you answered your own question." He had an uncomfortable smile on his face. In my opinion, this should all be stopped imediatly. I am sad that anyone would even think of doing these things, but I am greatful for the few kind souls that have opened orpahages for these young girls and babies. Many of the babies come in half dead and two or three days old. This is a terrible thing to do, and anyone who presures there wives or even kills the babies for them, should themselves be killed.

Dear Mrs. Debolt:

My name is John Youmans, but I go by Jack. I've gone to school here at Festus R-6 my entire life, not countiong preschool. I've lived in Festus all my life and have only moved once. I have two sisters, Audra and Abby, and a dog named Boo. We named are dog Boo because we got him around Holloween about four years ago. When I grow up, I plan to be an Astrophysicist.

I know about how to run computers, because by dad is a DBA for DTS. I forgot what DST stands for but its a company based in Kansas City, MO. A DBA is a database adminastrator, he makes sure their servers on websites are running. I like to go on Youtube and find out about world news on the internet.

I'm intrested in learning about the universe and space using a computer. I would like to one day go into space, but that is unlikely at best. I am also intrested in the new Mars rover, Discovery. I like to see pictures of space, stars, planets, and the moon on reliable websites on the internet.

Sincerely,

Jack Youmans
