January 17 2018 "New California' is actually an old-school idea for breaking up the state" Authored by Abby Hamblin This article is about New California which ¨would exclude parts of California along the coastline from Orange County north to Napa County; New California would include all other parts of California, including San Diego County, leaving the coastal stretch as California.¨ This is an event that is in an act to separate ¨New California, from the old.¨ This event is about how ¨New California¨ is irritated about many consequences of being a part of California. Although congress said: "New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress." which as the article says state lawmakers would need to vote on the separation in order for it to take place. So in other words is it a long shot. This all takes place in California, and this occurred late 2017, and early 2018. Although it may seem impossible they felt that it was worth a try. Ever since the start there has been a divide in California, I think that now it has just finally made them have to pay consequences when they aren’t even a part of the “problem.” They see that the south western part of the state is growing so big and popular, and there taxes are rising because of the face they are in the same state. Ever since the start of The United States “California” the southern part has always been more popular. That is mostly because of Mexico, but also because of the welcoming atmosphere and the very liberal stance. I think that the northern part of California has always been very conservative, and it is like a totally different state. I feel that although it may seem like a long shot at the end of the day it is a possibility and maybe even a reality. I think that it is a change that is very needed, but at the same time “New California” does want a lot of land, and lawmakers most likely won't give it up on either side of the argument.

What was explained in this chapter? What about this chapter was interesting to you?
*Explain for Each* Chapter 8: "Not Marble, nor the Gilded Monuments" This chapter talks about how Shakespeare isn't perfect or all that bad. I found this chapter very interesting. It talks about how he had no sympathy for the poor. Also it talked about how his lack of religion also changed a lot of his thinking from others back then. What I enjoyed most about this chapter was how Shakespeare was an imperfect person, as we all are. He was no where near an idol, but yet his idea on lifestyle was so appealing that it stuck. I also found it very weird that he had no religion, as this was just after globalism so it was hard to have "free" views on religion. Chapter 9: "A King of Infinite Space" This chapter talked about what life would be like without Shakespeare. It goes on to say, what if he was just another one of those lost children, with a nameless grave. Then it talks about skulls, and how different they are now. Back then they were a way to scare people, but now they signify remembrance of death, and kind of a slap in the face saying, "You know you can die right?" All of this is because of Shakespeare. Over all this chapter was my favorite. That is because it is so Interesting. I wonder if we would even have a democracy if Shakespeare didn't tell people that they cared in the world. On the other hand due to people being people it most likely would have happened eventually, because there are a finite amount of genes (although massive). I think that if it wasn't him it would have happened eventually, thats if it hadn't happened before him, but he died? There are so many questions we can have, and all are amazing points. Chapter 10: "To Be or Not to Be" this chapter talks about how any of the previous chapters can help you to understand that Shakespeare is one of the most important figures in history if not the most. This chapter goes on to sat that no other writer has changed English so much. Then it talks about "Who is Shakespeare?" This chapter gave me goose bumps, because that question can't be answered. You can make up things, but bottom line is that we don't even know when he was born, how long he lived, or even if Shakespeare even did these things, although his name was on the papers. Overall this book is a defiant recommend and an amazing book. I will be commenting on Elisabeth's, and Alex's Blog's. |
