Day 4, Research: Kiarah Lazo
day 4 research (sean Mackenna)
this story amazed me because this kid started to get involved in gangs at 12yrs old. and he was already fighting grown kids, shooting guns and robbing houses. after spending a little time in lockup he came out and is now a eager kid to take the trash out.

I choose this article because it discusses the women of Iran protesting their oppression. Ever day more women risk their lives to have rights. Many people try to oppress the young minds against the Regime, their Parents continue to keep the thoughts alive with secret parties and gatherings. Marjane Has to help hide the illegal things her parents do and fight to express herself. In Persepolis, Young children are brainwashed and sent to attack their own people. Iranians are S stripped of their personal identity and forced to be a drone of their ruler. Today, because of women who have fought and protested more women have a chance at life.
In my article a woman stated: "What crime am I about to commit that I feel so scared. Why should I be scared when I'm not doing anything wrong? When my government defends its ‘inalienable rights' [to nuclear power], why shouldn't I defend my own inalienable rights? This reminds me so much of Marjane because the are both expressing their knowledge of the rights they should be given. Both This woman and Marjane take on a lot of danger challenging the men of their country.

The work that cease fire in doing with teens is somewhat the same to the work that Mark is doing with the inmates in the jail. Showing them that the streets are not the only answer and that they can be more than jus gangbangers.

Just like True Notebooks, teens suffer from depression and lack the help from parents and teachers. If they cant find the help from the ones they love they would find the love from somewhere else, which would be from the wrong people. Some are mentally unstable but with the right kind of help some of the teens in America would not be serial killers or shooters.
Day 4. Research -Sam Johnson
Youth who have been incarcerated experience diminished income in comparison with their non-incarcerated peers. In addition, they may suffer earnings losses of between 10 and 30 percent up to ten years after their release.2 Economic hardship, in turn, is associated with lower levels of mental well-being, physical health, social attachments, and a lower life expectancy.3
Up to one-third of incarcerated youth return to jail or prison within a few years after release.4 However, some life events, including employment,5 marriage,6 parenthood,7 job stability,8 and high school graduation are associated with a successful turnaround in young adulthood.9

As you can see the pace of young males that are in prison are on a rampage!
Day 4 Research {Is it really worth it??} (Sherrae')
Rudy Giuliani's daughter arrested for shoplifting at Sephora
Rudy Giuliani’s daughter arrested for shoplifting at Sephora cosmetic store on Wednesday in Manhattan, New York.
Caroline Giuliani’s, is the younger daughter of Rudy Giuliani who is former Mayor of New York. He was the Republican nominee for the president, according to CNN.
Caroline Giuliani, 20 year old, was caught on security camera stealing five items costing more than $100. The manager called the police, but then didn’t press charges against her. Why did they called the police, but not press charges? Maybe they found out that she was the former Mayor daughter. That doesn’t make sense.
The family has money there shouldn’t be any reason for her to steal. It seems like the daughter Caroline Giuliani wants attention from her father. It was reported that Giuliani didn’t even attend his son’s high school graduation and Caroline play.
Rudy Giuliani’s needs to spend time with his family more than he think he should because they might be feeling neglected.
Okay... anyway back to the book. I chose this article because most of the juvenile delinquents in the novel True Notebooks are there because they've stolen from somewhere and got caught.

Youth Prison Conditions
Locking children away in juvenile prisons steals a piece of humanity from all of us. When we condone putting young people behind bars in desolate, violent institutions far from their homes and communities, we are complicit in the destruction of their childhood. Sadly, Louisiana has one of the highest rates of juvenile incarceration in the country and the overwhelming majority of the young people locked away are poor and Black. Nearly two-thirds are incarcerated for nonviolent offenses and many of the youth have special mental health needs that never received treatment. JJPL believes all children deserve a real chance at life. Placing young people in prisons not only deprives them of true opportunities for growth and healthy change, but puts communities at risk by failing to properly address why children are at risk in the first place.
JJPL fights on several fronts to challenge the way the state handles our delinquent young people, particularly those confined in juvenile prisons. In 1998, JJPL filed a class action lawsuit challenging the brutal conditions of confinement at the then privately-owned Tallulah Correctional Center for Youth. About a year later, JJPL filed another class action lawsuit against the privately-owned Jena Juvenile Justice Center. As a result of the litigation both the the Tallulah Jena facilities were shut down. Together with the United States Department of Justice, JJPL and private plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement addressing the multitude of issues raised in the lawsuits including: abusive treatment of youth and ineffective reporting and investigations of such abuse, lack of meaningful access to the courts, lack of medical and mental health care, and lack of education and special education services. Today, JJPL continues to monitor the conditions at Jetson, Swanson, and Bridge City correctional center’s for youth, seeking to ensure that abuses are immediately addressed and that children are appropriately cared for. See Youth Prison Watch.
Day 4 research -Arianna King
This connects with Persepolis in many ways. One way it connects is because, people are fighting against the government. Secondly, the people are standing up for their rights. They are protesting for their freedom.
Connection-Jamahl Jackson
In the book persepolis, Marajane is dealing with problems that are the governments fault and she doesn't have much control over what is going on.She is wanting to fight for what she believes is right but its a struggle because she is a child.
I found an article :http://www.adl.org/terror/tu/tu_0404_philippines.asp.
In this article there are diffrent terorist groups that are fighting for the what they believe in. Comparable to persepolis these groups fight for what they believe.In persophilis they protest the wearing of veils.In the Philippines they protest there freedom because they were annexed to diffrent countries after the world war
