Freewrite

This is probably our last blog post assignment and it has to be a free write. This week our blogs come to an end and as much as it sounded like a hassle to have a blog it turned out pretty fun. In my experience i found out that many in this class  have similar reactions and things in common and it made it fun to discuss about them behind the screen. I will actually miss blogging and responding to my classmates and might actually take up blog as not a hobby but a way to just talk to people around the world.

Respond nuclear waste

This week our blogs had to be on Richard Mullers article "Nuclear Waste" and he talked about how nuclear waste would be a big problem in our future. I found his article a bit hard to follow but what i understand and what I know about it helps me understand his persuasion because its very bad for our world. It ruins things that we  don't see are beautiful right now but i can guarantee that we will see these things gone and we will feel bad about it once its said and done.

Free write (spoiler alert)

For this weeks free write i have chosen to write about the announcement of the movie Deadpool and its rating. Well this april we all knew when the Deadpool movie was going to be released sometime next year, however we were all scared what the rating of that movie was going to be since Disney owns Marvel it could've turned disastrous if it would end up Pg-13 like most marvel movies. As many may know the character of Deadpool is a rather sarcastic, self centered, big mouth assassin and that wouldn't mix in well with the pg-13 rating. Anyways back to the April foreshadow I put up earlier there was a video put up April 1st with an interview with the actor playing Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) where of course they were going to discuss  the movies rating and the actor did in fact state it was going to be pg-13 but at the end of the video Deadpool appears out of nowhere and more or less kills the reporter and ending the scene with "April fools, Deadpool will of course be rated R"

Article for research

Well for my next assignment we have to choose something that can be argued through both sides. I chose about video games and their violence. Many say that violent video games are meant to morally ruin people or that it can change peoples mindsets to the point of thinking that video games are like real life that if you die you can respawn, well i will be arguing against that and i found some information that can help me on my paper. Here is the website http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/body/what-science-knows-about-video-games-and-violence/
This website talks about what aggression is, what video games can do to the brain, what the involvement of military has to do with video games, and how to make a correct judgement.

free choice

     For this weeks free choice I will write about how I ended up in Sacrament state. I was not originally going to become a Sac State hornet, living around this area made this school not seem like a good one or too close to home and I didn't want that. I had applied to four state schools San Francisco State, San Jose State, Chico State, and my fall out plan Sacramento State. I ended up being accepted by all four i honestly don't know how I'm not the greatest at thinking, but I did. Anyways i planned to to go to San Francisco but that seemed a little too much, then San Jose and I thought too much family there, after that Chico and I don't remember why I didn't end up there. At last i accepted to come to Sacramento with no idea in what to major in. It was almost like a last minute decision that I came here but to be completely honest i don't regret it one bit.

Hayakawa

 This week we were assigned to write about the author I chose to for my response essay. The author I chose was S.I Hayakawa, the reason i chose him was because i thought it was very persuasive. He wrote in a simple manner with no anger or joy, it was easy to read and overall had some reasonable points on why California should pass the english amendment.

Free write english 5


           This week we have to do a free write for our blog. This topic will be about a fashion designer that worked for an hispanic channel by the name of Univision. His name was Rodner Figueroa and was on the famous show "El Gordo y la Flaca" this show is about gossip and what is currently trending. He was on the show and had a comment that got him fired. He was on the show when he said it and nbcnews.com explained it like this"Emmy award-winning host Rodner Figueroa said “You know Michelle Obama looks like she is of the cost of "Planet of the Apes," Pointing to a picture of the first lady." This was not taken lightly by the network and although he made excuses to free himself from his own damnation he was fired. I find this very bad for Rodner but really happy the latino network took a stand and fired him shows that now there is no room for racial slurs.
