HOMEWORK:
Write one strong paragraph explaining the point being made in the following cartoon:
Cartoon: Pencil pointing toward gun

HOMEWORK:

1/2 page, in English 10 points

At vigils around the world people are taking up the saying "Je suis Charlie Hebdo" (I am Charlie Hebdo). What does this saying mean to you? Perhaps it resonates with you personally, or perhaps you would like to discuss an idea of yours concerning what it means that the people of the world are moved by the massacre. There are other possibilities. Be sure to focus on one idea. This is a paragraph, after all, and you need to elaborate upon your idea before you move on to a second or third idea, which would be dealt with if you were to write two or three pages, which you are not.
