West Oak Lane Jazz And Arts Festival Maybe Not http://articles.philly.com/2012-03-07/news/31132364_1_jazz-festival-arts-festival-state-funding

Th West oak lane Jazz And Arts Festival that has been going on for the past 8 years is not happening this year. Also in this article it talks about how this would have been the ninth year for the festival but now it is canceled. The west oak lane jazz and art festival has received millions of dollars over the past decade, but now there is no more funds for them to do anything major. This is terrifying for me because i lie right around the corner from where he jazz festival be and i used to go every year but now since they are canceling it i am terrified and don't know what I am going to do. Also in this article it states that the west oak lane jazz and arts festival was not supposed to be a mandatory thing and it was not going to last forever. Each year it has estimated that the jazz festival has estimated of 500,000 people.

Most Births Outside Marriage

I believe that people should be  able to have kids even if they are not married. In this article it talks mainly about the births that are happening outside marriage. People are saying the only reason why they are getting married is for the sake of there children. Just like what Frank Furstenberg said", the shift is affecting children's lives". When he say the shift is affecting children's lives that means that if someone is married and they have kids but then they become unmarried that is basically saying it is making it harder for the children because the children are not going to adjust to there parents separating.

    I believe that, that is true as ell, because if a couple are not married and have a baby then when that baby gets older and her parents decide they want to break up that is going to be hard on the child because she is so used to seeing her parents together. Also in this article it talks about how woman used to rely on men but they do not rely on them any more because they are independent I believe that,that is true because if you took a survey on woman and ask them do they live with men or if they are a single parent nine times out of ten the answer is going to be yes i am a single parent

My Thoughts on West Catholic High Schoolhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high_schools_in_California

I think that West Catholic high school is satisfied that there school did not shut down. I know that there are students right know that are so happy and feel relieved. I believe that west catholic should have shut down. I also believe that there school should have shut down because that school is bad and every time i am on the bus they are hype about that there school is not going to shut down. I do not have a problem with west catholic staying open it is just that now that they are staying open there are students that are  really getting hype about there school staying open. There are a couple of people that i know that goes to west catholic and they say that there school should have shut down because that school have a low income and there are enough students. I like west catholic high and i would like to go to that school.

In this article it mainly talks about how west catholic high school was a low income high school and they were one of the high schools that were supposed to shut down but instead they were very lucky and they stayed open. Also in this article it mainly talks about how student share there feelings about if there school would have shut down.
