John Lennon




Was born in Liverpool (1940)


Liverpool


Was a singer, was a founder of The Beatles.




He was married with Yoko Ono (1969).

Lennon and Ono



Lennon revealed a rebellius nature and acerbic wit in his music, he was also very controversial because of his peace activism. He was critical of the Vietnam war, and he had a lot of problems with Richard Nixon's administration therefore they tried to have him deported.
Lennon spend for three years out of deportation hearing until on 8 October 1975.
But the courts would not condone selective deportation based upon secret political grounds. Therefore he stayed in the United States.
In 1975 Lennon was ordered to leave the US within 60 days.
Lennon and his wife Ono held a press conference at the  New York city Bar Association, they announced the formation of the state of NUTOPIA. This is a place where people exist not paper than mark divisions.
In 1976 his U.S inmigration status finally resolved.

My writing portfolio, reading and writing class, Summer 2012

Unit 4  what makes a competition unfair?



PROFFESIONAL ATHLETES EARN VERY HIGH SALARIES

In the world I think their salaries are too high because many people around the word like teams so much.
I consider this situation is good for the people who always like that, but in some times is something much and don't see other situation more important for pay or give the money.
Personally, I think that this team has a lot of money can give something to different poor groups in the country.
It is very bad when I see how these teams or some people get a lot of money but they forget the other that have a real need.
On the other hand I think we need more mind about problems or sport more important or than help people.

Rich player ????

How much ?

Good salary?

Poor teams.. everywhere.


 Reflection
I chose this writing piece, because now it is the olympic time evrybody, all the news in the world, just talk about it.  Also this is because my country is participating in the olympics.

I would change about the real salary in history.
I would also change the minor importance, such as better salary and oportunities to get more attentions.



Unit 8 "What makes a good story?"

I wrote a story about "MOJADO".
