5. What are 4 of the 6 ways to change the look of your room according to the article on page SA2 "Make effective decor...."

6. What is your reaction to this story? I think the chargers for the 2 state officials and a city employee was fair bc they covered up something that could've been very dangerous and could've killed people or got them very sick. 
Did you know about this issue before reading this story? No i did not, I haven't even heard about it before.
What should happen to the people who potentially knew that they were poisoning the people of Flint (including a lot of children)? They should be punished because they knew and were being evil and not telling people.
If it expands to the governor or even further, should those people be held accountable the same as the rest of the accused city leaders? They shouldn't get as big of a punishment because the city leaders are leaders and should've done something about it but they should be punished because it isn't fair to the people of Flint.
