Time out vs Crossover

The two books I will be comparing are The crossover by Kwame Alexander and Time out. They both hhplay basketball. In the book crossover both twins are really good at basketball. They are both the stars of the team also you can see that both twins are a lot alike personality wise, they look alike, and they play alike. But in Time Out the twins in the middle of the book they are not much alike at all they hang out with different people  the not really together and now Owen(one of the twins) is more into just playing basketball while Russel (the other twin) is more into the mathematic behind basketball and also just math in general. It's kind of funny because the in the begining both twins in both books are really close. But as the book goes on they start to go further and further apart from each other. But, in the crossover they really never get as close as the two twins were again and in Time-out they get pretty close. Lastly what brought them apart was pretty different in crossover a girl brought the twins apart and in Time Out basketball brought them apart.

Should Schools Have Armed Guards?

Why all schools should have armed guards 

Between January 1, 2015 and October 10, 2015 "there have been 52 school shootings that have killed 30 people and injured 53 other s" according to Townhall.com.  Many kids are dying because of the lack of Safety in Schools and if all schools had armed guard less and less shootings will happen.

Shooting are successful for the shooters because of the lack of security. when there is an armed guard on duty there is less of a chance for the shooters to be successful  for thee shooter to be a success. The has been a shooting prevented before. Three years ago a there was a shooting stopped in schools by a armed guard.

Secondly, schools in Connecticut have already been seeing armed guards for many years and for many years there has not been a shooting there. So if we have guards there will be less of a chance for there to be a successful shooting. Also according to townhall.com it doesn't feel as "awkward" for the kids to see an armed guard every day. Every day the armed guard greets the kids and the kids are fine with the armed guard been in their school.

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" this was said by the executive vice president of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre. He is very true how are schools supposed to stop a shooting with no guards to protect students. LaPierre said that armed guards are the "one thing that keep people safe in schools" and without them these shooting will just continue to happen.

People might say that armed guards are too expensive but schools cannot put money over the safety of children.  The more time that passes by without armed guards in schools the more children and staff die because of shooting. Schools need to have armed guards before another shooting takes place and more people die.

In conclusion, armed guards must be put into schools. More and more students will die if armed guards in schools aren’t enforced. Students lives depends on this action and we need guards in schools as soon as possible.
