Court order: Walk while you whistle in Portland

I think that his whistling can probably be annoying to people trying to work, a store that is playing music, or it also is getting people dogs upset, but I don't think that his whistling needs so stop, it needs to not be so loud though. But he should not be put in jail for whistling. It's good that they have told him he can't stay in place because that means he can't annoying people for that long.
So he shouldn't exactly be stopped from whistling completely but he should have to be walking and whistling.

Our View: Ban on cellphone use by drivers is common sense

Thousands of people are killed every year by texting and driving. It is worse than drunk driving because your eyes are completely off the road and when you drunk drive your eyes are still on the road. It is a very bad idea to do either drunk drive or text and drive. It is a good idea to try and get texting ban, it is already against the law in Maine to text and drive.

Movies fuel acceptance of gun violence

I think that this author is some what true, I think that movies do influence guns and make people think that it is okay to carry around guns and shoot people. But I think that they should  cut back on guns in movies a little bit because think of all the people that go watch a movie and then think it is okay to carry around guns after, and shoot people. By cutting down on guns in movies it may help lower gun violence.

Letters to the editor: Wake-up call needed on teens' bedtimes

I do not fully agree with the author, I do not think that summers should be shorter, but I think that parents need to enforce a earlier bedtime in order for kids to be ready in the morning and that would help kids get up earlier. Taking away from kids summer won't help though, neither will longer school days because it will take away from the rest of kids days.

What is a protagonist?

The protagonist of my novel is Briony, because in this book it is her secret that she thinks ruined everything. The website says that the character wants to reach a goal and she feels like she needs to cry but witches can't cry.

The Road Not Taken

I think that this poem means to take journeys, it doesn't matter where you end up because in the poem the speaker doesn't care where he ends up he wants to take the path that hasn't been seen by a lot of people. He says to him self that he will take the other on another day, even though he knows he will probably not come back.
