    3. I agree with alex because for your first reason you put lockers can hold things, then for your supportings details you described what it can hold in it. You said that it can hold "Books,binders,paper, and anything else you need for school" which is correct. You also put for your second reason that lockers are fun and then you interpret details, such as "you can decorate your locker how ever you want,but you can't put nasty things" and then you said your locker is like your room you can decorate it how you want and nobody can tell you how to decorate it. Which is also true because decorating your locker is fun. When you went on to you third and final reason you said we don't have to carry big fat book bags, then explained it by saying "Instead of going every where with a big book bag that is really heavy you can just put your things in your locker" , Big book bags are bad for your back and is alot of excerise. So yes , i agree with alex.

  17. curfew should we have one? well what do you think because I think no we should not.For one a curfew will throw off your ritual.If you are doing something important, like finding a solving world hunger a curfew will though that off.The world wil fill like world war 1,2 where the city was on lock down with a curfew.

    I feel like a curfew will be like slavey. Time is not long as it is life as well. A curfew will single that you dont want to enjoy life which is not true. A curfew would be a violation of our rights that our four fathers fought for. this is what I think how about you.
