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.

Free write

This week we have a free write for our english blog and i chose to do it and a movie advertisement. This advertisement was for the movie Avengers. This movie has everything in it action, drama, and a bit of humor and it does a great job to attract our minds to imagine the rest of that movie. It looks like your classic comic loving action packed movie an it will be because even the trailer has a ton of action. It does a great job to put our minds to think whats going on and what can happen that attracts us to it the most and not to mention its great cast. All we have left for this movie is hope that it can be better than its first installment.
This ad claims that a legacy can be defined by short moments.
Purpose is to advertise the world cup of 2014
Author: Nike
Audience: All soccer lovers, the audience can respond positively to this ad because if you every played soccer glory comes after a short moment of work.
The text was most likely written in 2014, one cultural factor is soccer in brazil since the world cup was there.
It has emotional appeal because the glory of scoring a goal feels tremendous.
One counter argument could be that soccer is not as fun or entertaining as other sports.
This can be hasty generalization because you can find glory and legend defining moments in other sports as well.
The picture includes a outstanding white painted Christiano Ronaldo and it represents him as one of the legendary players of our era.
The text uses purgation because it does make me want to watch or even play soccer.
This text is a very effective text because almost all soccer players or fans have experienced and or watched one legend defining moment.
This weekend i read an article that talked about the death penalty. The Ca death penalty is finally coming to its end. The death penalty in Ca was ruled unconstitutional because it was convicting inmates with no real fate. Ca had the most death row inmates with a whopping 748 of them and the last inmate to be executed was way back in 2006. This was not only costing tax payers a lot of money but the delay from every one that was being tried was only going to increase. Many people also believed that the way of execution was inhumane. But what will happen with these inmates because most prisons in Ca are so full they are no longer in living conditions.
Foer speaks about his in and out relationship with vegetarianism and how meat was such a powerful nostalgic memory from his youth. He explains how just a simple meal was something to compare the greatest chef in the world to his grandma and how just a simple remark from his young babysitter changed his view on the meals he would eat. He tied many things with his decisions but in the end i felt that he wasn't really vegetarian because he ate meat when he felt like it.
 Hello my name is Fernando Acosta-Arreola and I am writing about my writing process. My writing process hasn't really developed in college because i didn't have a writing class in my first semester. For other writing i use what i learned since i was young your typical introduction paragraph, 3 body paragraphs, and your conclusion. This process helped me because i could organize my writing and it has helped with some college writing finals. One thing i do well in my writing is detail my body paragraphs i don't know how i do it but i usually get better results with that than with my intro and conclusion. One thing i don't do very well is my Thesis and conclusion I've always managed but if i have something bad on my writing it's usually those two. I would really like to improve my thesis and conclusions because they are usually the reason why i get B's and C's. I can work on this if i follow the rubrics and instructions for the writing assignments in this class.
Hello my name is Fernando and for english class I'm doing a free write blog as an assignment. This weeks free write is on the 2014 movie "Godzilla". I watched this movie in theatres and i bought it as well, I've watched it about 2 more times and it still shocks me......Why kill Brian Cranston halfway through the movie. This movie is a little low on the action packed awesomeness that we were expecting from a kaiju (monster) movie and to kill off one of the main characters that early was ridiculous. Me as a fan of the famous Heisenberg was very upset at this and the fact that it was an origin movie instead of it being an action filled tribute to it's famous ancestors was kind of upsetting for many fans, but it was something new and interesting in a way. So not to spoil anymore for those who have not seen it thats basically what i think of the movie "Godzilla", it's a great movie if you don't know a lot about the kaiju but if you have at least an idea it is something new. I definitely recommend this film.
