How many kids should we have?

Today we said if we agree with the one child polacy or with everyone having 8 kids. I do not agree with having 8 kids or with being restricted to one child. Everyone having lots of kids will make the world over populated like it did to China when Mau was in control. But being restricted to only having one child will ruin the busineses and everyone will stop working as hard. I think everyone should be able to have up to 5 kids as long as they know what they are doing and are wealthy enough to care for them. The parents need to be educated enough to understand what they are doing so they can stop having kids after the number they want. People should be able to choose if they want to have children or not.

1 Child or 5, both have there disadvantages

Today we talked about China's one child policy and we came up with a headline for it. Mine was "1 child or 5, both have there disadvantages" I chose this headline because China's one child policy has a lot of bad things about it but it has some good things about it too. Having one child is one thing, you can choose if you want 1 or more, but having to have only one is completely different. You should be able to choose weather or not you have one child or 3. But if everyone has to many children China won't have enough resources to keep the living conditions stable and for everyone to have good work. I think that you should have the choice to have more than one child, but maybe no more than 4. That way there will be enough people to have good economy and sutible living conditions. China won't be under-populated but it won't be over populated either, so like I said, 1 child or 5, both have there disadvantages.

Interpritation of Sonnet 7

At first I thought this was talking about a king, then the sun and back to the king. It gives off the impression of it being a king many times with out stating it. When it says that he attends on his Golden Pilgrimage and unlooked on diest unless thou get a son. Kings tend to be rich and they tend to want sons (no offence to a king if he reads this). This is what I think happens in the poem, the king has climbed up a steep heavenly hill to look at the rising sun. It then implies that the king is strong, even though he is middle-aged but normal people still adore his beauty. But when he is at a feeble/old age, he dies, or reels from the day. I don't know what the next few lines mean but the last line could mean that before he did die he would have to have a son which he didn't. Maybe it was through some sense of pride that made him want a son, not a daughter.
This is my interpretation of sonnet 7... for now.
