Article about Spanish-speaking country

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/americas/02/21/mexico.miners/index.html#

Summary:
     This article was about a coal mine in Mexico named Pasta de Conchos that exploded on February 19, 2006. Dozens of workers bodies are still buried hundreds of meters under the ground. The families want the remains of their loved ones to be recovered so that they can have a proper burial or memorial service. Some widows and families have been receiving pesos each month to compensate for their husband's income. The President of the country will not even speak to the grieving families. The mining company will not pay to have the bodies recovered because they say the water may be contaminated with HIV, hepatitis, or other diseases so it is not safe for rescuers.

Thoughts & Insights:
        I think the mining company should recover the bodies for the loved ones of the victims. In the article it said how when any other explosion happened in Mexico all of the bodies were recovered except for this incident. That is not fair. They should dig and find the bodies. The company should also pay the families of the workers a lot more than what they are now.

Laura's First Blog Entry

This semester I hope to do well in all of my classes. I have heard Spanish 2 is hard so I hope I can keep up and get a good grade. I plan to stay organized and not procrastinate. In English 3 last semester we had to do blog posts. Our teacher would put a blog post up and we would usually have to read an article and answer questions on it. It could be a useful tool because it's easy way to do homework and learn more spanish.
