Conscience of a hacker   My impression of this was that the kids are being judged by the adults . The adults assume that all the kids are alike. Maybe the hacker is the adults because they are getting to the kids minds and making them think that they can't do things. So the hacker if this made it seem it was a kid that may have been judged for the wrong reasons.

"The earth on turtle's back "   When I read this at first the story was like confusing cause it started off by the lady dreaming about a tree and told her husband her dream and he said that it was about some power . Then they pulled the tree and she fell in and there was just water and the water animals had to bring up earth for her .  It was kind of weird . But when the mouse thing pulled up the earth it was kind of interesting . I just kind of confused me that's all I gotta say.

First impression       "The right to your opinion"    My first impression to the rights to your opinion was seeing that there's was five pages to read. I thought it was gonna be like a little passage but I was wrong. But as I read it I did think it was interesting. While I was  reading I agreed that every one was entitled to there own opinions. I do think people should be able to say what they want to say when they want to say something.         "Richard Cory"    When I first read "Richard Cory" I thought it was depressing. It was depressing because he seemed like he was enjoying life and people saw him as "perfect" but  they never knew what was really occurring with him.
