Topic:The Alligator River Story
The Alligator River Story was very short, but interesting. I enjoyed the little story that we had to read, but I wish there was more to the story than that. I wish it would've went on and gave more detail of story. Abigail was in love tremendously with Gregory. She was in love so much that she did everything she could to get across the other side of the river to be with him. I think that it was weird how she did everything she could to be with him, but when Slug jumped him she laughed. There were several different characters in this story which include Abigail, Gregory, Sinbad, Ivan, and Slug.
I rate Gregory a two. I understand that he was upset with Abigail for sleeping with Sinbad, but he should’ve found out the reason why she slept with him. He should have not done what he did by casting her aside.
I rate Abigail a three for that, because she was so into the part where she had to figure out a way to get with the man she loved, but afterwards laugh. When Abigail asked Sinbad to take her across in the boat so she could be with him, the favor he asked her to do was not appropriate. Asking someone to do sexual intercourse with them for payback is not called for. I don’t understand why she let Sinbad degrade her into having sex with him anyway. I believe Abigail could have found another way around the river instead of sleeping with Sinbad.
A captain should not ask a female a question like that just for taking her across the river, because he probably was going to go that way anyway. I rate Sinbad a five, because of his inappropriate behavior. Sinbad was very desperate to have to get sexual intercourse in exchange for a boat ride.Abigail went to everyone she knew to be with her man. Her next choice was Ivan. He was a so called friend of hers. She discussed the situation with him about how she wanted to get with Gregory and she asked Sinbad to take her across in the boat since the bridge was washed out and his negative comment to her, but he didn’t want to get involved in the situation. I don’t understand why he wouldn’t try to help her and go ask Sinbad why he said the comment he did to her. I believe Ivan denied to help her for reason.
I rate Ivan as a 4, because a friend should help a friend in need. Another character was Slug. I rate him as a one. I’m not sure where he came in the story at; it didn’t state who he was or anything of that nature. I agree with him standing up for Abigail, but she really brought it among herself. It wasn’t a need to jump Gregory for that because it made no sense.

Topic:Human Rights vs Majority Rule
The world is changing today and everyday. Human rights is the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law. The majority rule is a doctrine by which a numerical majority of an organized group holds the power to make decisions binding on all in the group. Humans have their own right to do what they want to do. First, discrimination should not be anywhere in America. We were all born the same the only thing different is one skin is lighter than the other is. There are many different people in the world today. Some jobs discriminate tremendously about their race, disability, or etc. No one should be judge on either one of these subjects. No one can judge someone just because they are female or male. We are all equal. Some people think that if it is a man's job than a woman cannot do it. This is not true a woman can do just as much as a man can do. This is against the human rights.
Today we have gay marriages a lot. No one should judge someone just because they are gay. That is there decision and no one should say anything about it. If that is what they choose to do than let them. It is God's decision to judge them not ours. Many people believe in God, but they seem to judge people all the time. Again, if a gay person was trying to get a job and was denied because he or she is gay then it is not right. I know someone who was in that position and they didn't get a job. Even though it has been stated in the Constitution that we have equal protection, freedom to speech, freedom to press, etc.., but we have the majority rule that tries to tell us what to do, when to do it, and how we should run our lives.
Interracial dating is another one. Many people judge others just because the person they date is not the same color as they are. No one should look at someone just because who they are dating. One person is just the same as another one. The only thing different is the skin tone. Everything inside our body is the same. God made us to be the same, but it seems like no one can understand that.
