I have recently learned about Cesar Chavez. Cesar was a very outspoken, persuasive and smart leader. This is shown through leading people on the strike. He started NFWA and many people kept joining and joining. He is smart because he can understand human nature. he is a non-violent person. This is shown through him saying violence isn't the answer and going on the non-violent strike. He was very determined and organized too. He was determined to get better wages for farmers and help out many people. He was organized because he thought of new ways to help and keep things in order. Lastly, he was very thankful for all his helpers and their braveness in the strike.

I have recently read a review on Nicelback's new cd, Dark Horse. It got three out of four stars. Their first cd,All the Right Reasons, sold over seven million copies, so Nickelback could hardly be considered to not have a good album this time. The new music is somewhat different than the other music written. One of the new types of music is pop stide on more mainstream tracks.

Lately, in People magazine, there was an article about Barack Obama and what his children's life will be like in the White House. In the White House, there is a pastry shop, swimming pool, bowling alley, movie theater with a popcorrn cart, and a polished wood ramp for sock-sliding contests. The White House staffers will plan slumber parties or scavenger hunts. The ushers will make sure their dogs get walked.

I have recently read an article about Taylor Swift's new album, Fearless. Taylor writes her own songs. This album shows a flare for youthful enthusiasm on fairytale hits, such as Love Story. She also shows folk music in this album. Most of the songs, recount heartbreak.
One of the many songs showing the heartbreak is the song The Way I Love You. In this song, shes talking about being bored with "Mr. Sensible" but she also misses the "screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain" of her past romance.
