3. Why did you select this person? (style of writing; topics, etc.)
- I chose this writer because she uses reputable and estimable word choice that I can relate to. I am a very opinionated person about mostly everything that has to do with my life. I can tell that Kathleen Parker feels the same exact way just by reading a piece of her work.

How I use the First Amendment in my everyday life.

The First Amendment is freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of petition, freedom of assembly, and the freedom of press. So, how do I use the First Amendment in my everyday life? Well, I go to school. I use my right of freedom of speech to tell the lunch ladies what I want for lunch. If I didn't have a say so, they would be choosing what I ate. I also use the freedom of petition in a way. If I see a food I don't like, I don't eat it. In my opinion that is my way of "petitioning."


I also use the First Amendment in my classes. For example, in chemistry class when we work as a team; I use my freedom of speech to say how I feel about an issue we are discussing. If I couldn't use that, my group would make decisions without me and I probably wouldn't be too happy. 


At home, I use the freedom of assembly basically all the time. If my parents do something that I do not like, I get my sister to agree with me. Therefore, I am using my ability to protest as well. 


Finally, I use the freedom of religion everyday no matter where I am. What I believe in is it. Nobody can tell me to believe in a certain "God". I can believe in whatever I would like.
