Making a connection to yesterday and poor homework completion and assignments is this quote true?
ReplyDeleteDo students do it for themselves or are they waiting for the teacher to do it for them?
I still don't really get this quote, but it sounds meaningful.
ReplyDeleteJohn.F.Kennedy was the 35th president of the united states and Kennedy Stood for the Freedom of everyone and hes famous for his assassination and defeating Richard Nixon in the election
ReplyDeleteIt means, do things for yourself, don't wait and rely on others. Get motivated and be something important.
ReplyDeleteI think that most kids are just lazy and for me, it's not the case that I think that I'm too good, and I don't do it. For me it's just that I have a busy schedule. Yes I do think that this quote is true. And I also think that students are just waiting and do doing it for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr.Cheney
ReplyDelete@ mr cheney
ReplyDeletei think this quote is true and does relate to homework completion.
John F kennedy was a very important president as he was not only associated with civil rights but aswell the cuban missile crisis which as the article states "Kennedy now contended that both sides had a vital interest in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and slowing the arms race."
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that some students don't do the work being assigned because they think they already know it so they are like oh okay what ever I've done this work so I won't complete my work.
ReplyDeleteHe was elected president in 1960 before that in 1956 he was elected vice president.
ReplyDeleteI read a book in class about John .F.Kennedy's life and his unknown death. He was assasined when he arrived in Texas and he was killed by a person with a gun. Basically the whole Texas was a witness to his death. As well he was the youngest president at the age of 43 in the oval office.
ReplyDeletewario=aqib
ReplyDeletei found out that
- Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas
- he was the 35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.
- he was in military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boats PT-109 and PT-59 during World War II in the South Pacific.
- He was the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43.
- Today, Kennedy continues to rank highly in public opinion ratings of former U.S. presidents.
- Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election.
He did tryed and took action for segregation.
ReplyDeleteJohn F. Kennedy was the youngest president elected, and also the yougest president that died.
ReplyDeletehe was the 35th president of the united states.
he was assaisanted in 1963.
he was president from 1961 to 1963
john f. kennedy stood for civil rights.
Kennedy was an important president because he believed and supported Freedom for all races and people. He was also very famous for his assassination, "Who shot the President" and for being the youngest president to die. He was also the only Roman Catholic president.
ReplyDeleteJFK was born may 29th 1917
ReplyDeletehe became president in 1961 and served untill he was assasinated which was on november 22, 1963. he was also the 35th president in the united states.He was famous for defeating Richard Nixon in the elections.
i think this does relate to the poor homework because we are not doing anything untill mr cheney tells us too. So basically if you picture mrcheney as the country, and we are the citizens, we are not doing anything untill the country tells us to
John F. Kennedy was famous for his Revolution for the Human Rights and had Big plans for a massive assault on persisting pockets of privation and poverty.35th president and was know for his attacks on Cuba to take down Fidel Castro.The one that blackmailed nuclear bomb threats to Moscow.
ReplyDeletei agree with this quote because its true that some students dont do thier homwork, they wait for others(teachers) to make them do it. for Ex what mr cheney said that if he will give us detentions almost 90% of us would do our homework but if he wont about 50% of us won't do thier homework.
ReplyDelete@Mr.Cheney I think that people should know that even though we don't have consequences right now in the future we will regret not doing our homework not knowing that it can really help us with our education and it is very important.
ReplyDeletei agree that this quote does relate to homework completion. we dont have a fixed time for our homework, we find some time to do it and we do it, or try to finish it but we always try to find time for other things, like going on the computer, or to have some other sort of entertainment. most o us findi t easier to do our homework on the blog, then doing it the actual way pencil and paper
ReplyDelete@buttercup
ReplyDeleteya that is true he did stand for more races than others which made him a good president.
Just like I said on the quiz. your parents can't help you in school if you don't know what you need help on you need to know what you need help on in order for your parents can help you. its not what your parents can do for you its what you can do for yourself.
ReplyDeleteim tulsi :)

ReplyDeleteI found out that John F. Kennedy was assinated in three years.
ReplyDelete@ blossom three years ago?
ReplyDeleteSonic = Tushar
ReplyDelete@ luigi we dont do anything for the counrty until its put in a bad situation, which is us not doing our work untill we get any consequences, or punishmnet.
ReplyDelete@Rohan, your observation is tremendous
ReplyDelete"@Mr.Cheney I think that people should know that even though we don't have consequences right now in the future we will regret not doing our homework not knowing that it can really help us with our education and it is very important"
@greenranger
ReplyDeleteya that is a great connection
@ Green ranger
ReplyDeletegood point it's true
He was the youngest male to be elected president and he was the youngest to die. Why was John F. Kennedy assinated?
ReplyDelete35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.
ReplyDeleteI think that people don’t do their work because they don’t care they think they know it all and don’t need extra practice....which i think is stupid ....everyone needs extra practice because no one knows it all.
When I heard this quote I thought it kind of meant how you don’t evolve around the world the world evolves around you which means like your not the centre of attention you cant and shouldn’t rely on others because no one really cares just as Mr. Cheney said you have to be the one to stand up and be strong and lead the world don’t let the world lead you let you lead the world
@ Toadette Just like the trouble they went in when they were getting blackmailed for the nuclear plans to Moscow.
ReplyDelete@toadette
ReplyDeletethat can be true but still when a country gets bad people still does not do anything.
JFK was the 35 president like others said, and he was the youngest elected president and the youngest to die. he fought for human rights and by the video i predict that he wanted the country to be a better counrty so he wanted everyone to contribute.
ReplyDelete@toadette: agreed uits more amazing to do homework on the blog then doing it on pen and paper its basically something new for us thats why its so fun...
ReplyDeleteYou need to be a leader for yourself before you become a leader for others dont rely on other things or people to do work for you ...you do your work for your slef.
@eden
ReplyDeletehe might have been assasinated by someone who really liked richard nixon or maybe even richard nixon did it, who knows
@ toadette
ReplyDeleteit's true but there are some people that do have that self motivation like Martin Luther king he didn't wait till the government would take action to the segregation. Or also Hitler, he took a charge instead of waiting for someone else to. He wanted Germany to recover after the great depression. He wanted Germany to be the best he made a change but he went too far. That's a different story.
@tulsi
ReplyDeletewe find some time to do it and we do it
i think that is still trying but some people do not do anything.
J.F.K took action in the cause of equal rights
ReplyDeleteJFK the 35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteI think some kids don't complete their homework because either they don't care or they think it's cool not to complete their homework but then when they get in detension then they quickly finish theior homework due to fear. That won't teach them anything by doing their homework out of fear they will just pick random answers and they won't learn anything. What will they do in tests???
@green ranger good point it's not what your parents can do for you it's what you can do for yourself because your parents won't be at school to help you with your work so then what will you do then?
Yes, you will find a wide range of people who were motivated to make a difference...for good and evil.
ReplyDeleteexplore why he was killed? It is very controversial subject. But it wasn't Richard Nixon.
i think he was killed for the same reason as mcgee.
ReplyDeletehe was making a difference, and getting people's attention.
people who were against him felt as though they were going to lose more peopgle against jfk.
i think thhis is the reason he was assinated.
John F Kennedy the 57th president of the United States. Born in Massachusetts, USA. He grew up with an older brother and a little sister. He has served in the military for 2 years. He went to Harvard College, and Preston College. He fought for freedom and equality. This showed when he worked for the Senate Office. The bill for the "Civil Rights Act of 1957". The bill was so that ALL Americans can vote. So there was no discrimination between blacks and whites.
ReplyDeleteHe was famous for all the things he did as a president. Being the youngest inaugurated, and the youngest assassinated. He also started "Peace Corps". Peace Corps is an organization proposed by various members of the United States congress. For sending volunteer organizations into developing countries. JFK even states that it was one of the 3 bills that were of emotional importance to him. Besides the Nuclear Test Bill.
John F Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States and the youngest to be elected. He was a very important president because of the things he stood for like freedom among black people. He served as president from 1961 up until his assassination in 1963.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching a documentary on a secret society called the "Illuminati" Better known as the "Free Masons". Most of the presidents of the United States join this group and those who didn't were assassinated. This group of "Free Masons" worshiped and continue to worship the devil. Nixon and JFK were assassinated because they didn't wanna work with this group. On the back of the American Dollar you see a pyramid, and keep in mind of what Mr Cheney talks about, equality. With one eye on top, the one eye is symbolic of anyone who has power and as the pyramid moves down there is 2 bricks, 3 bricks. These bricks are symbolic of the more people that have less power and then you go down to the bottom to people with almost no power, and numerous people. So that's what they believe in. Inequality. That's the number one reason I think John F Kennedy was assassinated.
ReplyDeleteWhoops sorry not 57th, 35th President.
ReplyDeleteJohn Fitzgerald Kennedy, the son of Joseph Patrick Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on 29th May, 1917. His great grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, had emigrated from Ireland in 1849 and his grandfathers, Patrick Joseph Kennedy and John Francis Fitzgerald, were important political figures in Boston. Kennedy's father was a highly successful businessman who later served as ambassador to Great Britain (1937-40).
ReplyDelete@Sauce Boss ive heard about such things before and since Kennedy wasn't part of them they plotted to kill him and did so since they didn't have the leader of the united states in there alliance which doesn't help there "Cause" and there's a chance since He was the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43, the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt), and the first president to have been born in the 20th century. Kennedy is the only Catholic president, and is the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize.Which I don't really know why they wouldn't like that but there are possibilities or his beliefs and since he was part of the African American Civil Rights Movement
ReplyDelete@Red Ranger
ReplyDeleteYes he wasn't part of him that's why he was shot with a bullet. And like the secret service will just let that happen. A guy with a sniper shoot a president, that's not right they have camera's all over.
@Sauce Boss Yea there's a conspiracy because that was the first time they took a convert-able and its when Kennedy's in the car and the secret service should have took the bullet and since the Illuminati had an inside guy in the Secret Service they had the plan of Going Roofless than shooting which would never happen
ReplyDeleteThere is much controversy surrounding the assassination.
ReplyDeleteThe files are still secret
the man they arrested for killing the President was killed in Police custody by an assassin
@tabish
ReplyDeletei remember when you told me everything about the illuminati.
you said that barack isnt dead because he joined the secret service. also,that there are 20 people who run the world, one being barack.
@mr cheney why are the files kept secret?
@Luigi ,I thinks its because they want to make sure its hidden because it could be something hidden to make sure we dont know some details abut his death
ReplyDeleteMany important government files are not made available to the public
ReplyDelete@ mr cheney
ReplyDeleteyes i read about that.
but did they ever find out the person who assinated the assasin?
Rows of excited people lined the streets and waved to the Kennedys. The car turned off Main Street at Dealey Plaza around 12:30 p.m. As it was passing the Texas School Book Depository, gunfire suddenly reverberated in the plaza.
ReplyDeleteBullets struck the president's neck and head and he slumped over toward Mrs. Kennedy. The governor was also hit in the chest.
The car sped off to Parkland Memorial Hospital just a few minutes away. But little could be done for the President. A Catholic priest was summoned to administer the last rites, and at 1:00 p.m. John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead. Though seriously wounded, Governor Connally would recover.The president's body was brought to Love Field and placed on Air Force One.

@ malav
ReplyDeleteactually, the killer of the assassin did it in public, so yea they did find him
@ janat
ReplyDeleteis all of this completely true?
it sounds interesting.
how could the governor survive that?
a shot in the chest.
that should have no doubt killed him.
the person who had assinated the assasin that killed jfk?
ReplyDelete@malav
ReplyDeletemaybe he had a huge vest on or his uniform was part bullet proof
@malav
ReplyDeletethey found someone with a sniper. but that person was not proven guilty because he was killed before they went to the judge
@Wordnerd, I'm nor really sure but could it be a coincidence that the Governor survived and and not J.F.K ?What if all that was planned?
ReplyDelete@ LUIGI
ReplyDeletei know that.
i am asking what happened to the person that killed the person that was called guilty?
I remember he was assassinated from a apartment and shot trough the glass and killed JFK right in front of his wife. He was killed most likely because of Conspiracy as Tabish said Illuminati and other type of conspiracy. Lee Harvey Oswald was the associated with the assassination.yet, Lee was killed on spot.by a bystander in the crowd as he yelled out "You stinky little rat!". The Governer would have been killed too but only injured from the three shots Lee shot. This was a ten month investigation.
ReplyDelete@ janat
ReplyDeletethat is what i thought.
maybe the guilty person knew the consequences will be harsh, and so he wouldve rather dies.
so maybe the guilty person told someone to kill him.
@Prabhjot yes but they had a after study on where the shots were fired who owned the gun and what not and he was proven guilty.
ReplyDelete@ tushar
ReplyDeletedo you think that is true?
The man that Killed Lee Harvey was Jack Ruby, he had known mob connections.
ReplyDeletethere are lots of conflicting opinions about JFK, many movies and documentaries have been made about it.
@Malav his name was Jack Ruby and he was a nightclub owner he didn't get into any trouble afterwards.
ReplyDelete@ malav I actually do because they don't leave cases like that unhanded especially JFK's death. If they did then Nobody would know if he died. It's was like the Jack Layton thing but he had cancer.
ReplyDeleteWhy do great leaders always get murdered??
ReplyDeleteLike take D'Arcy McGee, Martian Luther King and J,F.K
@Janat because of conspiracy's about them because of a lot of people thinking that they will do harmful things and make it differential like turning the tables so the other side has a advantage.
ReplyDeleteMalcolm x, Gandhi, RFK, yes many great leaders have been assassinated. Leadership puts you in the spotlight...and this world is filled with many types of people and some willing to do horrible things.
ReplyDelete@Mr.Cheney: sorry im blogging so late ... here is a site a found about JKF's murder:http://jfkmurdersolved.com/jfkwhy.htm
ReplyDeleteand it talks about exactly what you sai mr.cheney about how Since November 22, 1963, there have been over 2,000 books, dozens of television programs and countless movies filled with theory, conjecture and myth as to why John F. Kennedy was gunned down in broad daylight on a downtown Dallas street.
Until now, no one has been able to prove anything other than the fact that the FBI and the CIA did little to help the Warren Commission, a select group of bureaucrats with an agenda of lies.
Denials, false sponsors, and government cover-ups continue to reign supreme, the latest attempt being the Assassination Records Review Board, five scholars appointed by President Bill Clinton. The Review Board, while powerless from a judicial standpoint, appears credible, yet "controlled." Their mission, to quote Chairman John Tunheim, is to "convince the American people that the government is not withholding any documents from the public."
so then all the people that stood up for their right as in Gandhi ,MLKJ and JFK all were assassinated? so then they were murdered in a surprise attack for political or religious reasons.
ReplyDelete@Luigi
ReplyDeleteYeah there are 20 people that run the world, The President of America being one of them, doesn't necssarily mean that he's the most powerful. And the other 19 are un-known. It is said the President of America holds the most power in the world.
@Mr.Cheney they all seem to be standing up for a type of right that many people will and have killed for.As when they are fighting for a type of freedom they are allways putting there life in danger.
ReplyDelete@TheSauceBoss i also heard about Freemasons and there is also rumors that Michael Jackson was killed by Freemasons because he didn't want to be apart of their society.
ReplyDelete@Tabish true, i think they made some guy take the fall for his assination, they did that with michael jackson
ReplyDeleteThis quote is meaningful, in jfk's case, he is saying that he feels strongly for helping the united states.
ReplyDeletebe careful, not everything is a conspiracy
ReplyDelete@Daisy yes they were killed for there beliefs and those beliefs weren't part of supposedly there organisation and that affected everyone's thinking which they didn't want happening because they're aiming to change the world and if someone came into they're way they would kill them with out a problem and the person that killed JFK and the person who killed the assasinater were i think part of it and Ruby the guy that assassinated JFK's killer was part of the mafia and i think the guy who killed JFK was gonna spill and than Ruby came and killed JFK;s killer so no one finds out about there plan.
ReplyDelete@shelby
ReplyDeleteive heard of a free mason too, but it doesnt give answers to what they are on google.do you know what they are
