29-1 Lesson 8-25-3
Can you teach me to make M&M cookies? P
Why? P
I'm having tea at Joanna's house tomorrow and we decided to bring one dish each. P
That sounds fun. I thought you already knew how to make chocolate chip cookies. P
Yeah, but I forgot. P
First add flour, baking soda, sugar, eggs, milk, salt, and butter into a bowl. P
Mix it throughly and add the spices. Grease the cooking sheets and drop the mixture by rounded spoonfuls. P
Put the sheets in the oven and bake them for about ten minutes. P
Thanks! P
29-2 Lesson 8-26-1
Will you please help me with the laundry? P
Sure. P
Thanks. Can you make two piles? One pile of color and one pile of whites. P
Why do you need to make two piles? P
The white clothing will turn into a different color if they are washed with clothing that is colored. P
I didn't know. P
After you sort the clothing, put them in the washing machine. P
Put the colored clothing in and set the machine so that it bathes the clothing in warm water. P
Wash white clothing in hot water. Also, jeans and jackets need to be washed in cold water. P
Is the detergent even going to dissolve in cold water? P
The detergent will dissolve. If you wash the jeans in hot water, they will shrink. P
You must be an expert in washing clothes. P
Thanks, but most everyone knows what I've told you thus far. P
I think I need lessons in clothes washing from you. P
Thanks. P
No problem. P
29-3 Lesson 8-26-2
29-4 Lesson 8-26-3
Can you help me? P
All right. P
First, let's separate the clothes with color and the clothes without color. P
Why do you need to divide them? P
If you mix the white with the color, the white clothes will fade. P
I never knew that. I guess I learned something today. P
Next, put the clothes in the washing machine. Use hot water for the whites and warm water for the colors. Jeans and jackets belong in cold water. P
Cold water? Will the detergent be able to dissolve? P
Of course it dissolves. It's just that when you wash jeans in hot water they shrink. P
I see. You're really good at this. P
No. This is something that everyone should know. P
I should learn from you before I ruin all my clothes. P
Sure. P
Great! P
29-5 Lesson 8-27-1
Today is cleaning day and everyone will take part in cleaning up the house. P
Can we pick which chores we want to do? P

Fine. I'll vacuum the entire house. P
Then get right to it. I will be cleaning the garage. P
What should I do next when I'm finished vacuuming? P
We also need to clean all the windows and the bathroom. P
Gross! Cleaning the bathroom is so disgusting. P
The bathroom needs to be cleaned, or else you won't be able to use the toilet. P
But I don't want to do that afterwards. P
Tell you what. Why don't we both clean the bathroom together? P
All right. P
29-6 Lesson 8-27-2
Pay attention everyone. Today we will clean the whole house! P
Will you let us choose our chores? P
Okay, but if you linger over simple jobs, I will assign more difficult things for you to do. P
Dibs on the vacuuming. P
While you're doing that, I am going to clean the garage. P
What will we do afterwards? P
The windows and the bathroom need to be cleaned. P
But I hate cleaning the bathroom. It's so unsanitary. P
The bathroom isn't unsanitary. We need to keep it clean. P
But I.. P
Let's do one thing at a time and discuss this later. P
Fine. P

29-8 Lesson 8-28-1
You can exercise in your home to maintain good health. P

29-11 Lesson 8-29-1
Do you think putting someone to death for murder is justified? P
One hundred and eighty countries all over the world are executing criminals. P
Almost half of those countries are planning to put an end to it in the next ten years. P
A fourth of the 180 countries are planning to end capital punishment by 2008. P
However, a third of the countries that practice executions don't want to get rid of it because they think their crime rate will increase. P
As a result, more people continue to die. P
This means that many innocent people sometimes do not get the chance to prove their innocence. P
When that happens, the justice system is not working correctly. P
Many families are hurt and their pain is indescribable. P
This is why there are many organizations that try to stop criminal executions. P
Pardons are seldom granted to the doomed prisoners. P
Of course, the most well known celebrities find ways of get out. P
The rich and powerful have the best lawyers and resources. This is a problem too. P
Reform and fairness need to be emphasized in the legal system. P
29-12 Lesson 8-29-2
Interest groups lobby using millions of dollars raised in the community to stop innocent people from being wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit. P
Those in power don't seem to care. The rich and powerful have a wide variety of options if they find themselves in legal trouble. P
Celebrity status can sway the jury and make them believe the celebrity is bigger than life and, therefore, exempt when it comes to abiding by the law. P
The justice system has too many problems. P
More should be done so that these things don't happen so often. P
Do you think we should execute people for heinous crimes? Even though there is opposition, one hundred and eighty countries still practice capital punishment. P
Some countries have vowed to put it behind them within the next ten years. P
Half of the nations that are going to end executions say they will end them by 2008. P
Thirty three percent of the countries aren't budging because they think stopping executions would increase the crime rate. P
People die daily for their crimes. P
Sometimes the executions are carried out so quickly that the prisoner doesn't have a chance to plead for a second trial. P
This is not how the law should operate. P
Friends and loved ones are tragically affected as well. P
29-13 Lesson 8-29-3
Do you believe in the biblical concept of an eye for an eye, and a life for a life? P
Capital punishment is practiced in one hundred and eighty countries. P
Over the last ten years, half of the 180 countries have abolished capital punishment. P
Twenty five percent of the countries say that they will stop practicing execution by 2008. P
Some of the countries that carry out capital punishment do not want to get rid of it because they say it affects the decline of the crime rate. P
Everyday many executions still continue. P
Too many times innocent people have gone to their graves without a chance to depend themself. P
If this happens continually, then the purpose of the government is not being carried out properly. P

29-17 Lesson 9-1-1
Anarchy can wreak havoc in society even in the lives of those who obey the laws and live by them. P
Anarchy does not liberate people, but, rather, oppresses them with the strong forcefully persecuting the weak. P
Usually laws and police officers prevent these anarchists from thriving. P
Advances in science and technology have all been made possible by working together cooperatively in a stable society. P
Anarchism seems like an escape for those who want to avoid political confrontation and compromise. P
29-18 Lesson 9-1-2
Anarchy is chaotic and can damage the balance of society. P
Anarchy rules with brute force, not with diplomatic solutions. P
Government laws and police strength can combat those who break the rules. P

Sometimes people find an escape through anarchy, but breaking laws disrupts the balance in society. P

Only when people follow the law and live under a governed society, can advances in medicine and science flourish. P
Some people view anarchism as an escape from the everyday turmoils of politics. P

Electra is another character from Greek mythology. P
