Is It Time For Cursive To Die? (My Thoughts)

      I think its time for cursive to die. Why? Because schools don't use cursive for anything. My 3rd grade teacher fought us cursive. She said, " You have to write cursive every year," When I graduated, 4th grade never ever written cursive, not even above other grades. Today, 8th grade never wrote cursive. Well, when your older you have to write your name in cursive on paper you need to fill out.  Cursive is hard to read,  in the elder ages everyone used cursive writing. The Declaration of Independence is written in cursive too! Do you think cursive should be hidden in a bottle?

Call Of Duty

The article, "Call Of Duty" wast really sad and inspirational. Sharing a amazing story all over the world. The article was about a military Marine soldier Jose, who moved every year to a new home and school. He was sick of the past and signed up to be a military soldier. He met a german shepherd that can sniff out bombs because those bombs haven't been set off for years, so nobody or anything can set off the bombs. Jose and his best friend dog have been together so long they made a powerful bond. One day when they were finding more bombs, everything happened so fast that a bomb set off and Jose lost both of his legs were broken.  Jose was forced to go back home and leave the military. He didn't even say goodbye to his best pal.  His best pal got imported and assigned to a different military and handler. Jose was so heartbroken he wanted his best pal no matter what. His wish came true. This article made be really sad, it changed my mood so many times. I even learned something new about the military. The military used shaving cream to trace their steps so no one can set off a bomb.
