      So my English Higher Level class is reading Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ and I’m having a blast! From hearing Prospero profess his undying love to Miranda for ‘preserving him’, to seeing Miranda go weak in the knees from inner-thigh tremors when she meets Ferdinand for the first time and ‘e’er sighs’ for him, ‘The Tempest’ is laden with sexual undertones in t […]

Hit, beaten, shot and burned…

Posted by pbaffour on May 4, 2009

Over the weekend in chicago, a 15 year old was found hit (with a car), beaten (with a baseball bat), shot (in the head) and burned…for no reason. This is apparently the 35th seemingly random teen murder in chicago this year (don’t quote me on the time frame). And yes, I said random because these kids apparently have NO ties to gangs. And some of them, though drop outs, were relatively good kids.

I’m posting this story because I have younger siblings and I’d like them (and others like them) to realize that there is a very crazy world out there and that simply staying out of trouble is not enough. People have to be extra vigilant about where they go, who they talk to, and who their friends are. For more on this story, please click the link below:
