afghan girls, scarred by acid, defy terror, embracing school

in "afghan girls, scarred by acid, defy terror, embracing school" dexter filkins author of the article explains how an afghan girl was walking to school with a friend and a man came up to her and sprayed her face with acid which burned her badly and many other problems of afghanistan and the problems and situations around afghan schools. the article includes quotes from the headmaster of the school as well as students and also the afghanistan president. filkins also includes data about how many women go to the schools and live around the area. one fact that stood out was 15 women were badly burned in the acid attack that happened and that many people did not returns to school for wekks so it must be a big problem. i think that the acid attack was wrong, and that school administrators and goverment leaders need to do more to prevent it. i think part of the problem is that there is not many people watching these girls or escorting them to school. many people can get hurt and there wont be people around to help them so there should be cops or guards or something like that. this article reminded me of a movie called white wash where an african american boy and his sister are walking to school and are attacked by a white street gang and the gang beat up the boy and they spray painted his sister's face then the gang runs away the girl and her brother then run home and the girl hides in her room and doesn't go to school for a couple of days her grandmother and class mates make her feel better then she returns to school. this article makes me wonder why people can be so cruel and why why they do the horrible things they do. i am a teenager and i see mean things that people do to other people almost everyday and it really needs to stop and it shouldnt go on any more because it is wrong and it hurts alot of people so it really needs to stop if its happening in america or even if its happening in afghanistan it needs to stop evertywhere!

basketball thing got ugly when the temple owls lost

the article is called "Things got ugly and stayed there for Owls in loss" the writer of the article is Bob Ford, Inquirer Sports Columnist the article mainly forces on temples season of promises and low provided comedy and how they lost the game 58-44 to university of south florida team. every display of offense was unexpected in this game was said. this is what bob ford explained, "By comparison, the Bulls were nearly dead in the water a month ago, with a 13-10 record after a 30-point loss at Georgetown. Faced with early elimination from tournament consideration, South Florida put all of its emphasis at the defensive end of the court and was on an 8-3 run entering the game." 
ok there defense might have sucked while they were playing bt what was the point of getting mad or antsy or mad because they lost a game there would be other games to play i guess because this is the play offs but how they acted if i was a journalist this would be a big story because that was just unacceptable and it was not right even if they lost a couple of the play off the name of the article was right things really did get ugly this reminds me of when i was in the 8th grade and my schools track team was running and anothers teams runner triped run of our teammates on purpose and they got disqualified i wonder why they would act like that.

Alleged pimp to face trial in Downtowners hooker raid

the title of the article is just one part of the story the article was written by mensah m. dean a writter for the philadelphia inquirer. she wrote about a man named lawerence promoting prostitution in a south philly mummers clubhouse. the man name is lawerence crovetti and he was promoting prostitutes in a mummers clubhouse then the police came in and raided the place and arrested many people including crovetti and the prostitutes. two police officers testified thay they were undercover and propositioned for sex by 10 women in the mummers club house on 2nd & snyder ave. crovetties atorney said he was not guilty and would fight the charges. judge teresa carr deni made the ruling after the 2 undercover police testified. this is what crovettis attorney had to say, "he is not guilty of anything. he absolutly had nothing to do with prostitution. he did not profit at all from prostitution he did not promote it, he did not authorize it, he didnt direct it." well i think crovetti is guilty. he should be charged because if he didnt promote the prostitution or didnt want anything to do with it he would have kicked the prostitutes out of the club or wouldnt have been there while it was going on. he must have wanted must've wanted intercourse from the dirty prostitutes or profit from sales the prostitutes were making. but if he didnt want to get caught why did they do it in the mummers club? this reminds me of when my cousin locked me outside and and van of undercover cops pulled out and raided a van. this article makes me think about how money hungry people can be. it made me ask myself why people do stuff like this
