The U.K. election - who wins?

The Liberal Democrats
Leader: Nick Clegg
Slogan: "Change that works for you. Building a fairer Britain."

The Conservatives
Leader: David Cameron
Slogan: "We can't go on like this."

Labour Party
Leader: Gordon Brown
Slogan: "A future fair for all."

The U.K. general election is very close to an end, and the Conservatives are leading the race with over 50 Members of Parliament more than the Labour. In my opinion, the Conservative Party should form a coalition with the Liberal Democrats due to their common interests in cases such as economy and health care. At the same time, Great Britain goes through a rough time right now in terms of the economy and it is risky to start a coalition "project" that has never been tried in this country before. It can lead to strides and disagreements within the government.

"Blind Side"

Last English class we saw a movie called "Blind Side". In the film we meet a 17 year old homeless boy named Michael Oher. He has gone through his life living in various foster families. Every time he establishes himself in the new family, he runs away, until he meets the Tuohy family. The mother of the family, Leigh Anne, includes him in their warmth and he stays there for a long period of time. She also adopts him. Due to Michael's enourmous stature and incredible strength, he becomes a professional American Football player. Because of his athletic ability and grade improvements Michael receives numerous scholarship propositions. His entire foster family has enrolled in the University of Mississippi and it is expected of Michael to do it as well. The NCAA starts to investigate the case and tells him that they believe the Tuohy included him in their family just because they saw his potential in sports and wanted him to represent their family in the University of Mississippi. Michael feels extremely disappointed when hearing this and flees once again. The movie ends with Michael choosing another university and returning to his foster family.
