The Music of the Pearl
In the book Kino and Juana thought that the pearl would make them rich and happy, but money Isn't everything. They kept on thinking that the pearl would take all the bad things out of their life when right in front of them they had to go through so much pain trying to sell the pearl. For instance where Kino punched and kicked Juana, where Kino had to kill a man for carrying precious cargo-(The Pearl) and where he attacks and tries to Kill the people that were fallowing him and his family throughout the mountains. These horrible events showed that the pearl was trying to get away and didn't belong with them, it needed to go back into the sea where it belonged. The music kept on coming back to show that evil and dramatic events were occuring at the time.

I think you met the standard for The Music of The Pearl.
You adequately mentioned the motif of music, and how it showed the events that were taking place.
When talking about the understanding of symbolism, you a wrote detailed and complete response, covering the good and evil. Also, you went into examples to defend your point of view.
After writing about the symbolism of the pearl, you gave many examples of the affect of the pearl on Kino and his family. I think this showed how well you understood this.
Although you did not expand on the connection of the pearl within the society, it was implied that you did understand.
I think the best line of your work was "These horrible events showed that the pearl was trying to get away and didn't belong with them..."
Overall, you showed thoughtful work and supporting details. The only thing I would work on is capitalization and spell check. Otherwise, great work!

The Framers of the Constitution wanted to make sure the people were
given direct input in choosing their leaders and saw two ways to
accomplish this:
1. The people of the entire nation would vote for and elect the
president and vice president based on popular votes alone. A direct
popular election.
. The people of each state would elect their members of the US
Congress by direct popular election. The members of Congress would
then express the wishes of the people by electing the president and
vice president themselves. An election by Congress.
The Founding Fathers feared the direct popular election option. There
were no organized national political parties yet, no structure by
which to choose and limit the number of candidates. In addition,
travel and communication was slow and difficult at that time. A very
good candidate could be popular regionally, but remain unknown to the
rest of the country. A large number of regionally popular candidates
would thus divide the vote and not indicate the wishes of the nation
as a whole.
I do agree with the fact that the electoral college being a good way
to elect the president. I really like in my opinion the way the
electoral college is ran. Read this and tell me if this doesn't sound
reasonable:
The Electoral College consists of the popularly elected
representatives (electors) who formally elect the President and Vice
President of the United States. Since 1964, there have been 538
electors in each presidential election. Article II, Section 1, Clause
2 of the Constitution specifies how many electors each state is
entitled to have and that each state's legislature decides how its
electors are to be chosen. U.S. territories are not represented in the
Electoral College.
The people who invented this system were very smart about the way they
did it, making it necessary to vote and have it be civilized and not
unfair. Most voters would be unhappy to see their candidate win the
most votes but lose the election. Why would the Founding Fathers
create a constitutional process that would allow this to happen?
i already finished it and i have added more information relating and
resolvong of/ and or to these promblems.
