Blog Assignment #25-Sarah Palin

         Sarah Palin is by far my favorite political figure! On top of all of her AmAZING beliefs, she is a woman! We don't have ANY good political figures that are women that actually help our country. She knows exactley what we need and helps us. She is my role model! Sarah Palin is the bomb!

        She was born on Febuary 11,1964. She is an American politician, an author, speaker, and a political news commendator. She was the youngest person to be elected Governor of Alaska. From 2006-2009, she served as the Gorvoner of Alaska. After she resigned in 2009, the Republican Party chose her to be the Vice President for John McCain. (If he was elected.)

        Her hometown was Sandpoint, Idaho. She had 2 older siblings and 1 younger sibling. The proud parents of Sarah Heath Palin were Sarah "Sally" and Charles "Chuck" Heath. As a teenager, Sarah Palin was very athletic. She did cross-country, basketball, and track.

        Palin says that she is a "hockey mom." She also says that the only difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull is lipstick. She had 5 children with the love of her life, Todd Palin. I love Sarah Palin because she is a born again Christian. How often do you see politicians that are Christians? Like, TRUE CHRISTIANS!

        In conclusion, I will always admire Sarah Palin. She is an excellent mother, and great leader, and a born again Christian. I think everyone should look up to her in some way. I hope to be like her in every way that I can. Sarah Palin is AWESOME!!! :))

Blog Assignment #21-Monet

           I absolutely LOVEE Claude Monet's work!! He was truly a great artist! He was born November 14, 1840, and died December 5, 1926. He was the type of painter who expressed himself through his paintings. His family liked to move around alot, so he never really stayed in one place for a while.

           Monet was visiting Paris the Louvre. He then witnessed painters painting magnificent works of art. That was when he was inspired to start painting. He packed up his bags and moved to Paris to start a new life. In May 1871, he moved to Zaadam in the Netherlands where he made 25 paintings.

           He later married Camille Monet and had two children. Camille became sick with tuberculosis in 1876. She died soon after she caught this disease. Monet started making more paintings than ever. My favorite is the Woman With a Parasol inspired by his wife and his daughter.

Blog Assaignment #19-Tony Curtis

           Tony Curtis was truly an amazing actor! His childhood was very hard. He says that, "I was always taunted for being young, Jewish, and handsome." He was always defending himself on whichever street his parents decided to move to. I would say that he had a life full of struggles.

           At the young age of 17, Tony Curtis decided to join the Navy. He fought in Pacific during WW2. After he left the Navy, he felt there was a special calling on his life. He decided to use his GI Bill to take acting classes at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School for Social Research in Manhattan. From there, he became a very skilled actor.

           Curtis later changed his name to Anthony Curtis, and became known as "Tony" Curtis. After moving to Hollywood, he became like, the "king" of Hollywood. He was in over 100 movies in his life! He was in "The Great Impostor" and the 1960s version of "Spartacus". Reporters say that Tony always wanted to be in movies. He made $2.5 million on "Some Like It Hot" alone!!

           He was said to have been married SIX times. The last wife he married was Janet Leigh in 1951. They were married for 11 years. One of their children, Jamie Lyn Curtis, followed in her dad's footsteps. She later became a famous actress. One of my favorite movies she was in was Freaky Friday. :))

           In conclusion, Tony Curtis was a great actor. I know that he will be missed by many people. The movies he was in were phenomenal! I hope his children (how ever many he had) can get over his death easily. Good Bye Tony Curtis. You will truly be missed by many!
