In "Should 16-year-olds drive?" by Ted Gregory he brings to light that some people think that the minimum age for driving should be bumped up. They think it should be lowered so teen motor deaths can go down and every one can be safer on the road. Some teens think that this plan is not true because it matters about experience and not age.
This article includes quotes from teenagers, legislators, and driving teachers. Something that stood out to me is that 5,000 teenagers die every year from motor vehicle crashes. It's shocking because so many people with their lives ahead of them die from the simplest things. This is something that everyone wants to stop young and the elderly.
I think this topic is very important because lives can be changed from something this simple. Before reading this I thought that driving didn't kill so many people every year. Now I think that it should be taken serious every mile. I think the deaths will go down thanks to the police keeping a closer eyes on drivers.
This article made me think about plenty of things. Like when I become 16 will I be able to drive like the laws allow today. Also if the deaths will go up or go down. I could find this out by interviewing people who know a lot about the subject. Also from researching the latest debates about these topics and project where they will be by the time I can drive.

In Philadelphia Eagles only question: Vick or Foles? by Ashley Fox she brings to light that the Eagles only reason for playing the season is to see who their starting QB will be in the future. Their season is over because they won't make the playoffs so they just need to forget about it and start Foles to see if he can be a great quarterback.
This article includes quotes from Eagles players and football analyst. Some thing that surprised me in this story is that they all think that Andy Reid will be gone. Not one person is giving him a chance to turn it around.
I think the Eagles have a chance to turn their season around but in order to make the playoffs they need other teams to start losing. Before reading this article I thought Reid had a chance to stay, but now they pointed out to me that it's very unlikely. This is an important topic for all Eagles fans because it concerns the future of their team and whether they will be good in the years to come. I think if they win every game from now on it's a chance because they're not the only team having a hard time.
This article made me think about a lot of things. One thing i wondered was why the Eagles are struggling so much and they have so much talent. I could find this answer by looking at games last year and this year to see what's different in their game play.

In "Reactions to Obama win vary, Peter Mucha explores the facts of the election results and what people think of it. Some people like the results,some do not care, and some hate it. Most of the people are against the results and the winner, they are saying that Obama is not sophisticated enough and not mentally up to the challenge even though he already led them for 4 years it is stupid to think that.
This article includes quotes from normal citizens. Something that stood out to me is that some people actually didn't care who their president was. This shows that they may not have voted and they don't care about their country. That's very shocking and surprising I thought they would take more initiative.
I think that the nation made the right choice with the election. I think so because Obama was the right choice over Romney, he was all for the rich. I think this is an important topic because our nation are in these people's hands. I think some people need to care more about the country.
This article made me think about a lot of things. One thing it made me think about was why people didn't care about the votes. Another thing it made me wonder was why some people didn't believe in Obama and his skills. I could find these answers by interviewing adults around my neighborhood. I think some people would be interested in the answers to these questions because it is very confusing and puzzling.

In "Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now" the main idea is that the climate is changing in a bad way. They are also saying that the two presidential candidates are trying not to discuss. Maybe they will have to now since the hurricane has had a major impact on the east coast and damaged many homes, lives, and businesses.
This article includes quotes from governors and scientists. It also includes reasons why we should brace out self for harsher weather. The most shocking thing to me is that hurricanes may be getting stronger and other natural disasters.
I think this is a major topic and shouldn't just get thrown to the side and forgotten about. The climate may actually be affecting the weather and we should take precautions to stop them. If this goes on any longer and we don't take care of the environment it could be a permanent change to the climate.
This article made me think of a lot of things. The most serious thing to me is that if people had a tough time with the hurricane we just had, how worse would it be if it got stronger as said in the article. Also it states that we are having 100-year floods every two years now. If that's true then that means we're getting natural disasters way more than we did in the past and they are getting worse. I could find the answer by asking people who have been around for a while and ask how often did they have hurricanes and other disasters.
