historic addresses

By closing Guantanamo Bay, Obama is keeping a promise he made in his inaugural address--to change the image of the US.

During Bush’s presidency, America’s image was bad. Many Iraq and American people were dying in Iraq because Bush thought there were weapon’s of mass destruction there. But the war continues even though there really are no weapons there. If I were in another county, I would think that the United State just wanted war not peace.

Another reason why the image of the US is bad was because of the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Some people were put in Guantanamo Bay for something that they didn’t do. For example, they may have been accused of being a terrorist. The prisoners are not receiving a fair trial. Some prisoners have been tortured to death. Even though these prisoners may have information, it is not right to force them to talk by torturing them. The treatment of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay is against US laws that say every person has a right to a fair trial.

Obama wants to fight against terrorism but in a different way than Bush. He wants to “begin again the work of remaking America” by changing our image in the world (Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 2009). Obama is going to start following the laws in the constitution. He wants the prisoners to be treated fairly. He wants other countries to start to trust the US again.

Tupac Quote

I use a quote from a song called “Change” by 2pac written in 1995. The song is about change. The artist tries to say that the world needs to change and it is hard for poor people to live. They are struggling to live. For example, "crack to the kids who the hell cares one less hungry mouth on the welfare".

Connections

The song change connect to Obama because it talk about change and obama want to try to change world and the song is about wanted to the world to changed. When Tupac says, “Some things will never change” he means that racism will not end. People still treat each other differently because of their skin color. There are probably some people that did not vote for Obama because of his skin color (find evidence for this).

Even though Obama wants to make changes in the White House. I agree with Tupac that “some things will never change.” [thesis]. For example, Obama wants to make it more difficult for undocumented workers to cross the border from Mexico and he wants to make it easier for the immigrants that are here to become citizens. But even if he tries to do this, immigrants will find some way to cross the border because they need jobs to feed their families and to be with their families who live in the United States. So, the problem of immigration probably will not change.
