Advertising

Advertisement does not play a big role in my life. I really don't pay much attention to commercials newspaper adds or any forms of advertisement. There are some though that tend to catch my eye and spark and interest to me. Some advertisements that catch my eyes tend to be ones that are related to up coming sports games or sporting equipment. Most advertisements that I end up liking come from Gatorade. Most of there ads are sports based and show clips of sporting highlights or athletes just being active. I would say my all time favorite commercial would be when ESPN does there ultimate highlight commercial where it shows all the big sports highlights from the past week or month and they pack it all into little short clips of what happened. They always have a catchy music playing while it plays. So for the most part unless the advertisement has something to do with sports I'm generally not interested.

Obama King Jr.

After reading the to arguments I realized that they both had a lot in common. They where both very well composed. They both had very good arguments about the racism and segregation problems we have in the United States. I believe that's Obama's Speech was done better then Mr. King's. Obama had more points from both side of the argument; where King Jr. just had better view points from the black community, and it seemed to me in some parts of his it was just a little to one sided. They both had there different view points though because of the different time periods. Back when King Jr. was around the racism and segregation was a much bigger deal. So it was a bigger problem and it affected more people.
I also liked how they discussed the racism in there own different ways. Obama tied in his election campaign. Where King was addressing the public about his concern with the racism threat. I believe that the weakest point of Obamas speech was that he was apologising a lot and bringing his campaign into the argument. Where I feel that Kings argument was more one sided on how bad the current state of racism and prejudice was a terrible, but don't get me wrong it was he just didn't take both sides into the argument enough.

Spring Break

Over spring break he just layed around and watched TV for the most part. Except at night he hung out with some of his friends that are still in high school. They attended a few movies as a group, and they went to Eric Merz's house to play Texas Hold em poker and played dice for a while. On Wednesday he went down to the University of Minnesota to visit his girlfriend and they made omelets and watched a movie. Friday night Eric Merz and him went to St. Olaf to visit there friend Eric Sandberg. While at St.Olaf they celebrated the St. Patrick's day festivities, and went to a dance club and had a good time. Saturday night he went back down to school with Angie to hang out with some of his friends that had not gone home for spring break and they all watched a movie together.

A Modest Proposal

After reading this short story I was a little confused. His proposal of poor people having too many kids was quite strange. He wanted to take the poor children and they could be distributed as food for people to buy. He thought this would make a lot of the towns/kingdoms problems go away. If they where to eat the kids he said that people wouldn’t go starving anymore, and people would be able to make money of selling plump children. Also, by his solution he thought that is would free up space in the town and it would provide more jobs for the rich. It would also keep poor beggars of the streets in the town. I personally disagree with his proposal. I think that there would better solutions out there, other than to eat poor children. They could enforce a law on how many kids you are allowed to have, or they could make it illegal to have children before marriage.

Go Further.

I thought the documentary was done very well. I really liked the point of view they put into the movie. They had very eye opening information such as how milk had blood and puss in it. I thought it was really cool how they made all their food and clothes from organic material or organic food. The avocado chocolate cake looked very good and I wanted to try it. It was really cool how Woody Allen and his friend biked the entire way to San Francisco from where they started. I think that they proved there point to viewers by how they were trying to stay healthy and eat healthy with all their great activities. They proved that they were working on saving the earth in a unique way with all the different events they held at colleges. They even picked up a girl and brought her on the tour with them, and she took part in all the activities they took part it. She really thought it made an impact on her life, her skin cleared up and she felt healthier as a person. In the end the documentary really made me think about what I was eating and how I could make some changes on how to live a more healthier life and reduce damage on the environment.

Learned?Concerns?

Some things that I learned from researching my topic where: I found how to use more sources then just the internet. I also learned how to site my research better and more efficant. Finally, I learned how to find better information about my topic along with more indepth information. Some concerns I still have for my papers would be that I'm working on making it all fit into the 3 to 4 pages. Lastly, I'm working on choosing what resources best fit my topic and which ones provide the best information.
