Recently the United State have just made a temporary compromise with the country of Iran. The agreement was to pause Iran’s nuclear program for the length of 6 constitutive months and in  return there will be larger limitations to economic sanctions, that have created many hardships for Iranian people. People have reasons to believe that the new agreement will prove to be ineffective. Whereas positive minded individuals think this a small but necessary way to create trust and peace between the U.S and Iran.

These are not the only agreements the United states and Iran has come up with. Iran has also agreed to allow all inspectors that are supported to enter nuclear program base. Other nations like Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China have also been affected by the deal with Iran, their nuclear programs will also be paused for six months as well. Obama said that there will be "a future in which we can verify that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful and that it cannot build a nuclear weapon.

People do trust the Iranian word, they are scared because Iran's past actions. Time and time again they are both constantly finding themselves pitted against each other. For example, in the year of 1979, 52 Americans were held hostage by Iranian people for one year and eighty days. Iranians did this in order to make Americans look weak, when compared to the Iranian.

This well be a good opprontunity to regain trust between and the United states and Iran because this shows how former foes can learn to co exist peacefully. They able to forgive and cooperate without problems. I believe both side should trusting, but not oblivious. Also I hope the finally agreement will lead to both countries be allies. I will just have to wait until they make their finally descision.

Overall I am one who supports this agreement. Much like young Iranian man Asal Khalilpour. He quotes " After I read the comments saying a deal was made, tears started rollimg down my cheeks of happiness." The facts that he shed tears after hearing about the dewal shows that I am not alone when I am 
liking the U.S and Iran agreement.

Close reading : Character change

Quame Wright Beckles 803                                                       Reading blog post: Close reading

By using close reading in was able to and analyze the changes of the character in the book series” Kane Chronicles,” by Rick Riordan. But in this series there are two main characters named Sadie and Carter Kane. They are different in ways, yet they are both able to grow at extremely quick rate. Their growth affect their mental and emotional state. For this reason Carter and Sadie Kane are always changing.

In the book “The Red Pyramid,” Carter and Sadie constantly tease each other and used each other failures or actions as opportunities to bother each. But when they are in need of aid, they able to depend on one another’s help when needed most. For example, when Carter and Sadie just escaping the set creature attack when Sadie was still in her less defensive bird form. So Carter thought it would be helpful to share some of his moments with their missing father. One of them in particular was somewhat embarrassing, and yet his didn’t care. This shows his growth because, he is willing to do anything to help his sister.

Another reason why the” Kane Chronicles,” shows how two characters mature, is when Sadie and Carter chose not to rely on the power of the Gods inside their body and to use their only magic instead. This decision was difficult because by using that power both were to easily accomplish task. And without it, it would be harder to survive when they’re in danger.  But they also knew the dangers of using that power they become insane or their bodies would burn up for overusing that power. And because they made this choice on their own it shows the way they grown.

In conclusion” The Kane chronicles,” written by the author Rick Riordan, show the growth and change of both its main character minds and emotions. Both Carter and Sadie Kane are characters who become mature and wiser as the book goes on. This is a great example of character changes. It is like actually much like real life because, daily people are forced to choose and decide for themselves. And they growth every day because they learn just like characters in a book.

Stolen party essay

Over the week I have been applying close reading to my books. And as a result I learned about ways to further deepen my thinking as a reader. In the story “The Stolen Party,” I found the deeper meaning to the story in various techniques and writing strategies that were included in the text. Such as word choice, and character roles in the book besides, leading protagonist, supporting character, antagonist, and etc. As I read I look for more than what is writing of the pages and I have to think about the content of the book by not only reading.

                         

For example book the main character Rosaura is arguing with her mother over being allowed to go to her "friend" Luciana's birthday party. Rosaura believes that she is going as a guest and friend of Luciana, but thinks otherwise. In this part of the book Rosaura is more than the main character. She is also portrayed as the resistance against her own mother. She is resisting to listen to her mother's word about how is not suppose trust Luciana or any one like her. And her mother is not supporting character, she is the power being resisted. Considering that Rosaura's mother has more knowledge of the word than Rosaura, it would seem difficult to defy her.

Also in the book the author used his or her choice of word wisely show that it not only fits the story but the character's point view as well. Rosaura's mother speaks in tone with high aggression. She even said this to her own daughter, "The problem with you, young lady, is that you like to fart higher than your ass."  She can say things might be entirely accurate. She said in the book " It's a rich people party."  Even through the host of the party was said to be wealthy, the is not textually evidence stating that only the rich attended the party.

In conclusion I used reading techniques to analyze the text and discovering inner workings of the author. Close reading has shown that there is more to a book. It shown how there be something hidden within something as little as the words.
