DNAA was the bill that Obama signed on December 31, 2011. The DNAA bill is about that U.S government can arrest anyone whom they think are suspected as a terrorist, whether the suspected person is U.S citizen or anyone within in United State. After arrest the person the government doesn’t need to give them any of the Bill of Right. Such as the right to gain access to lawyers, family, and the court itself once they are detained within the military. Therefore, Americans can he held in a military custody and has no access to the outside world and it is legal for the governments to do that. I think DNAA has a connection with the book “Zeitoun” because after the Hurricane Katrina Zeitoun was held in the military custody for a long period of time because the government thinks that he was a terrorist. In addition, while Zeitoun was held in the prison he didn’t get any of the right as being U.S citizen. For instance, he didn’t have any access to a lawyer, couldn’t call his family, and was abuse when he was in the prison. Therefore, DNAA is just proving that it is legal for the governments to put any one in the United Sated into prison if they think that they are terrorists.      

blog for the orientation

In the orientation I have been today is mostly about professors and students are introduce the major in English. How it can help people from the most base they need? Such as that writing major can help people to improve their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. Therefore, people can have a better position in today’s market. Furthermore, professors had given example of people who had taken the English major and had been successful. Also writing major can help people with advance planer, management, and in all different kinds of administration. During the orientation they had showed students’ power point, video, and students whom are doing the internship are in front of the class to tell their story about why they chose to change their major to English writhing. In addition, at the end of the orientation they had a game that they asked volunteers a question and if the students got the question right, the students will get a reward card from apple store, Starbucks, or Macy's. Witch I think it is very interesting.

How sad was that Zeitoun could't even "get a piece of paper" before he' taken into the boat (Eggers 207). Things might be easier if he did.

 i think Vince's twitter is intersting becuase i think it true that if they give some just a little of the same right as they give to others, it will be so much different. He might dont need to go tought all the things that he had been though. such as have a lawyer that can help him, be in a living condition, and people will pay more attention to him.
