Q2, Week 6 Critical Reading Passage
If someone had handed me a credit card with a $20,000 limit i would spend it wisely. I would first buy the food needed to last me a month, so my family won't have to spend anymore money and spend it on themselves and what they need. Second, I would buy me some new clothes since most of the clothes that I currently have are old and have faded color. I would then try to buy a car for transportation, since using public transportation has been a hassle for most of my family and would help them out significantly. Though because of the 10% intrest I would by me some good fancy clothes and get a job so by the time the bank would want the money back I would be able to give them back what they want and wouldnt have any hassles or debt or become bankrupt.

Q2, Week 5 - Critical Reading Passage
Cell phones are not safe to use while your driving any type of vehicle. If you use a cell phone while driving a vehicle it may cause accidents, deaths, and serious injuries to people. If may cause these disasters because many people who have used cell phones while driving do not pay attention for a time period. While this time period on the looking to the road, you may not notice that a vehicle is coming from your left or right at a high speed and will be unable to avoid a crash. Another way using a cell phone can cause a disaster is the same as the first one in the beginning, you check your cell phone or receive a call and at those moments you may have been going at a good speed but not noticing the direction in which you are driving and then as a result you crash into another car. I believe that cell phone use while driving a vehicle is not safe at all because it may cause accidents which may cause serious injuries to human beings or even death. BE A SAFE DRIVER!

Q2, Week 4 Critical Reading Passage - Should Human Cloning Be Allowed?
I think it would be good to clone people and not. I have this mix feeling because there are many positive and negatives things if you clone someone. If you clone someone then you may be able to talk to someone about your problems to without having to talk to other people, but the negtive thing is if they talk to just their clone then it would be hard for people to interact in social situations. If parents decided to clone their babys from a famous person then it would be wrong because you wouldnt give the person their own life, just the life you want. If i could clone myself i would but i wouldnt want to control him like my slave, i would like him to have his own life and if he wants to do what i say then it would be fine.
