    Article: Obama Fights back against Israeli Criticism over Nuke Deal
     Prompt: Make a text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world connection to the book 

    This past week President Obama has made a historic deal with Iran. It is truly amazing. The group of nations, now on the cusp of 7 years working on the deal, have finally reached a deal. That is not what this article is about, Obama Fights back against Israeli Criticism over Nuke Deal.
 
   This article is about someone who didn't go to fight over a serious issue rather the two talked about the issues like mature adults. Even though there were some parties who didn't want to see this spectacular deal go through. Which is even a larger reason to praise the deal.

    In spite of all the odds. All the pressures from both side. Mature talks occurred. This reminds me of when I was about twelve years old and discussing something very important to me. My Bar Mitzvah..

    I was twelve years old and began my own negotiations with an opposition at the time. My parents. They had wanted me to have a more traditional style of party. What I had wanted wasn't what they had wanted for me. I wanted to go at Dave and Busters and have a huge party, with lots of people, and food.

    So what did we do? We did what mature people do. We sat down at a table and came back and forth discussing the issues. It took weeks, to me it was as long as seven years. We saw the different pros and cons for both of what we wanted. At the very end, we reach a deal, just like like with the nuke deal.

   In the end, I didn't get all I wanted, but neither did my parents. That is apart of life. You don't get a hundred percent of what you want. Rather life is a road filled with bumps, and you choose how they affect you and those around you.

   This article talks about how right wing Israeli leaders came to tell us why to go against peace. Thank goodness we didn't take the bate. Obama stood his ground and we got a fabulous deal. This means a lot for American-Iranian relations as well.

  Just like with me, good things come by talking and that is the most important thing to take away.
