Proposition 30

I would want to vote yes on proposition 30 which is for education and public safety. Proposition 30 is saying that they want to raise taxes on the individuals who make $250 thousand a year and couples who make $500 thousand a year. One reason for this law to be passed is that it’s estimated that $6 billion will be given to schools and public safety. It is important to know that your child is safe from harm and in a good environment. Another reason is because our schools needs money. With more teachers, programs that were once canceled could be brought back. However, not everyone believes this proposition should be approved.

A reason for proposition 30 to not be passed is taxing can harm small businesses. People who are against proposition 30 are afraid that the extra taxes are going to harm their businesses. They are also afraid that the money won’t go to public safety and education. The money could be used for unnecessary projects. All the money that the tax payers pay could also be lost since the government isn’t really organized.

If I was 18, I would vote for proposition 30 because when I’m older, I wouldn’t want my children to be in danger. Hearing about all the shooting and vandalizing that some schools do scares me. It makes me wonder how the future schools would be like. Protecting my family would be the first thing I would want to do. It would make sense to me to pay more for our safety.

My Canterbury Tales

In the Canterbury Tales, there are a lot of characters I would want to be. The one that stuck out to me the most was the pardoner. The pardoner was an interesting character. He was a very mischievous person. His job was to get money from people in exchange for pardoning their sins. Being a pardoner was a hard job. He had to convince people to pay him to pardon their sins. A challenge that he faced on a daily basis was that people could turn him down and say no to him whenever he asks them for money. He also had to travel a lot to find new victims to ask for money so he didn’t have a specific area where he worked.

The pardoner’s hometown was France. Being a pardoner, you wouldn’t expect him to be married. His family on the other hand didn’t see him much because he’s always moving place to place. His mom didn’t do much and his dad was a knight. Although his dad was a knight, the pardoner had no military training.

The pardoner feels that the world is a terrible place to live in because of people going against the bible; that’s why he wants to pardon people’s sins. He is also a kind gentleman who values money. He believes that swearing, gambling, getting drunk and anything that’s bad are sins and people needed to be pardoned from them. Only for a small fee, he would be glad to do so. His future plan is to be the richest man alive and at this rate, he just might be.
