1.What's being discussed in this article? This article is discussing a women's High school in Afghanistan, Totia high school was suspected of being attacked by poison gas. Many teens started to run and jump out of first story windows to get away from the smell. Others were carried out and some were unconscious for more then two hours. The question was, is this a attack by Taliban who has been to attack women's education or a mass hysteria of what might have happened and what the Taliban could do.
2. When did the event happen? (Is this breaking news or something that's been analyzed and discussed for a while?) This event happened on August 25, 2010. This article seemed to have been made soon after the attacks but it is very analyzed in describing what happened and the total number of girls who had been hurt and information from previous attacks.
3. What questions do you have that would help make this article make more sense to you? What more do you need to learn about to be able to report on this event? The information that would make this article make more sense to me is if they would answer the question if there was any security preventing attacks like this from happening around the school. The other information I would need is a interview in detail of what exactly happened from the view of someone who was literally inside the building.

What are the most news worthy events that have happened during my parents life time?
1. One newsworthy event I was told about by my dad was the U.S. first landing on the moon. The landing on the moon was something that most thought could never be done, and not only was it done but there is proof of it. the famous line that go " One small step for man and one giant leap for man kind" this line was very true in the fact that many more things were to follow this great accomplishment. When Neil Armstrong stood on the moon the world changed and because the space program had done something great so had all the people.
2. "When John F. Kennedy was assassinated the world seemed to have stopped". The John F. Kennedy assassination was one of the most saddening things that have ever happened in U.S. history. A man thought to change all bad things in the world was taken away for no reason. " I remember sitting in class and over the loud speaker you heard " The president has been killed, you are dismissed for the rest of the day. Just to come home and see your mom in front of the television set crying her eyes out". " This is the story my dad told of the the day J.F.K. was assassinated and of the hurt that would never go away of a great man being taken away.
3. Having president Obama be elected was one the most memorable moments in my fathers lifetime. Never before had an African American man been elected until now. " Obama being elected was a a great thing that should lead to many more" The election changed all generation and seems to be one of the biggest events that ever happened to the United States. This single change also shows that other changes are possible and with this step forward our country has become a better place.

What news worthy events I remember from my lifetime?
1. One of the most, if not the most news worthy event that happened during my lifetime is the September 11 attacks. I remember these attacks vividly, though I was just in third grade. When I first found out I was sitting in a third grade classroom and a teacher came in crying and said we had to turn on the T.V. We turned on the T.V. and everyone seemed very confused. It was until later that we had found out that what had happened was an deliberate attack on the U.S. This time was shocking and it is something that will stay with me and I'm sure millions more for the rest of our lives.
2. Hurricane Katrina was a very newsworthy event. Katrina changed the lives of millions of people in the matter of a few days. Many people died and there seemed to be anger in everyone. People believed that the government did everything wrong and that the government was too late to help. Millions of lives were lost and though many helped it was not enough. When first hearing of Hurricane Katrina I felt it was frightening that such an event could happen and there was nothing anybody could do about it.
3. A very important event that happened in my lifetime was that for the first time in history the people have elected a African American man to office. This was very important. I remember when he was elected very clearly. I worked the election polls for the whole election and spent over 14 hours in a small room assisting people with the machines and casting there ballets. When first hearing that Obama had won the election I felt nice to know that for the first time something has happened in history I was sort of apart of. It was a very exciting time in both my life and in U.S. history.
