"Why do people cheer so much when a baby is born if it will just struggle through life, but people cry so much when a person dies if they are just going back home with God?"-  My Dad

A HUG IS NEARLY A GUN SPELLED BACKWARDS

I was a bit confused on the essay seeing as we didn't exactly have prompt but I tried my very best and I'd LOVE to tweek it with any ideas. (Last paragraph sucks)

MISTAKES FOR PRESIDENT

                    Hillary                                                           Trump

• Uses granddaughter's birthday as people attraction	Brings other countries' success the reason why we don't have jobs
  Slanders Trump by saying that he had everything ($) starting up.	Brings up his money starting up to our economy's downfall to China uprising.
  Brings back comment from Trump (2006)	Racial bias (Us sending stuff to Mexico= tax. Mexico sending stuff to us= no tax)
  Pushes Trump's comment about her towards her talking about her husband	Ignores Lester's attempt to pause
  	Cutting Hillary off "I did not say that.. I did not say that"
  	No new things brought up

Two gang members that "supposedly" stabbed a man were found non-guilty since they had no more proof. Although what if they did stab him? The Constitution states you can't be tried for the same trial, so basically if they did stab him they can't be tried anymore! The man had two kids and now they have no one and have no justice for him. This generation would rather kill a man for messing with their "gang" and have the man's kids in foster.

Gender Roles, Sexism Satire

This year, 2016, there are so many problems with gender roles and sexism.

 Women are being judged on how they should act, how much makeup they have on, how they dress and how they behave.

 Men are judged on how manly they are, how their jawline isn't on "fleek", how much of a "player" they are and how much of a "sissy/pansy" they are. 

Not only this but there are still people that think a man's place is bringing home the bacon and women are here to please the men emotionally and physically. A women is not meant to work besides working at home to provide her family with meals and clean clothes/ house if not then she will be punished by her husband. A man is meant to be the head of the house. He should be the sole provider of the house and meant to keep his wife and family in check. If the man were to lose his job he should already be looking and receiving another one.
