literature group

In class we have Literature Groups. In these groups we choose to read, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I liked having lit.groups because we got to share our thoughts and predictions about the book with the rest of our group. In the groups we had set up specific dates that would tell us when we would meet and how many pages needed to be read.

I think that hearing other peoples thoughts and predictions keeps our minds open about the book. It also gives us many outlooks about the book rather than just having our own opinions and predictions. I thought that the book was interesting and at first I didn't really get much but after talking with some of my peers in my group, I understood it much more.

Google the phrase "Obama Socialism". What do you get? Try google news... what did you find?

I found many articles and blogs that talked about Obama being a socialist. Many of them gave examples in which he acts like a socialist and many others you can tell were opinionated. Also many headlines were similar like, "Is Obama really a Socialist"

Do you feel that the label "socialism" is applied appropriately or correctly to Obama, his proposals or his policies?

Do Obama's proposals or policies have historic precedents in America? If so, what happened in the past?
