"Brainstorming About Justice" for Kristi
Justice is not always fair. A good example of this is what happened to a man named Ali Jaed who was killed instead of his guilty father. Ali Jaed's father was a rich business man who killed a man for some reason. He didn't want to go to jail because he'd lose his business. He told his son, Ali to say that he (Ali) killed the man and he (the father) would pay to make sure he would be safe from being killed by the court. Even though the father tried to pay, the court said that it wouldn't take the money. Because of that Ali - who was innocent - was killed for a crime he didn't do. Another example of unfair justice is Ameen H. He was a guy who was very smart and worked very hard in school. He graduated with a great diploma. Even though he was smart and worked so hard to study all of those years, he ended up working at a small gas station because he couldn't find a better job in Michigan. A third example of justice being unfair is Khaled B., a guy who used to live in Louisiana. He was happy to move there because he heard living there was good. He used all the money he had to build a new house on some land he had buy. About two months after he finished building his new house, Hurricane Katrina destroy the house and he lost everything he owned. As you can see, there are many ways that justice can be unfair. Even though it don't always come out right, remember and be happy that most of the time it does.

This is a good start, Ahmed. For this week, I want you to turn this into an essay. Make sure that you have 5 paragraphs--like I showed you in class. Make sure you are very clear about what justice means to you? What is your definition?
