Language Arts Caroline B Persuasive Piece 11/8/11 Uniforms In Public Schools Public school children should wear uniforms. Uniforms will cost parents less to clothe their children. Uniforms look nicer and stops cliques, gangs and peer pressure based on clothing. Uniforms cost less than buying name brand and regular clothes. Some families have financial difficulties. You may say “Why would uniforms help that?” Uniforms would help because everyone would be wearing the same thing. You would not have to buy the Ugg boots for your daughter or Zig techs for your son, so they could fit in. Some parents might be upset because they cannot afford uniforms, well the school taxes could help pay the cost. Uniforms look nicer than normal clothes. Kids say they do not like uniforms because they cannot express themselves. Just because of that the school could have special days throughout the year where they can wear normal clothes and express what they would wear if they didn’t have a uniform. The students should also be able to wear special accessories with their uniforms to show personalization. Uniforms would be one way to stop bullying, cliques and peer pressure. Uniforms would prove that all kids are equal not based on race or clothing. Wearing uniforms would help the kids stay more focused on learning rather than fashion. Everyone has felt left out and no one could say, “No one talk to her because she is wearing something from Wal-Mart”, with uniforms. Kids would not have to feel pressured to get the clothing all the cool kids are wearing. Public School children wearing uniforms would benefit us all. Most kids dread going to school because they do not like what they are wearing. Uniforms are much nicer than street clothes. Parents would not have to keep buying clothes for their children. No child could get made fun of their clothes if everyone wore uniforms.

Language Arts Caroline Browning Process Analysis 10/30/11

 The Process of How Peanut Butter is made Have you ever wondered how the tasty snack peanut butter is made? Well I have.  First the peanut is planted in April or May which depends on the climate. The peanut becomes a plant and then turns into a yellow flower. Once the flower goes through wilting and it blooms, the flower bends over and enters the soil. Peanuts are a plant that is formed underground. Harvest season is in August, September and October when the climate is dry. The peanuts are removed from vines by portable, mechanical harvest machines and sent away to be dried. The Second step is the cleaning process. The shells are delivered to warehouses where the blowers wipe away dust, sand, vines, leaves and empty shells. Then the screens and magnets remove all of the trash with a huge machine.  The third step is shelling. Shelling is the removing of the shell without trying to damage the peanut. The moisture of the peanut is controlled to avoid brittleness and the amount of dust in the peanut. The fourth step is the picking of the right peanuts. They are classified by size, color, weight etc. A good peanut would be one with no bruising and one that is ripe. Next the peanuts are sent to the manufactures. After the peanuts are roasted and cooled, they go through the removal of skins through heat and water.

The peanuts are put into a batch to be grinded. Then after that cooling process special flavors and spices are added to make it more of a paste. Next the peanuts get packaged into their containers and get labeled and sent out.

 Peanut butter has many steps to be produced. There’s planting, cleaning the peanut, removing the shell, choosing the right peanuts for the butter, and then the process of making the peanut butter.
