Entry #11 Future student of English 102

Dear future student of English 102 class, this is a great hybrid course with a great teacher. This is a shortened English class that you do in person and some online. This is great for someone that is looking to get their classes done a little faster. But, you have to make sure that you fully commit to it and focus to get it done and stay with good grades. I really enjoyed blogging on blogger.com and being able to open up and share all of the things that I wanted to say the way that I wanted to say it. There are many benefits to blogging one of them are that you are able to share your own opinions. The challenges of blogging are that you really have to remember the rules that you are presented with remembering that you have to have a specific tone and you have to know who your audience is. By writing blogs in this class I learned that I am the author it is me doing the writing and everyone that reads my blogs is my audience. I really like that we get to see some of our other classmate's blogs and tell them what we think about them and what we enjoyed or thought could be better throughout them. I think that doing these blogs was very useful and taught me a lot. I really liked that a lot of them were self-generated as well. Blogging is very fun and it does not have to be just when you are doing this class and there are many types of blogs that you can do, so keep blogging and make your voice be heard.

Entry #10 The stress of adulting

Do you ever think when is the bill paying, the late night work days going to end? Well, I have news for you not for a very long time ahh. Remember those times when we were younger and we always use to say I can't wait to do whatever I want, and not have to listen to our parents. Please take me back to those years. You think that you will have all this money as a kid from working and that your bills won't take up most of your paychecks. But sadly they will :(. All the bills that I am paying for right now add up to a lot I pay Rent, Utilities, I make payments on my car that I got from a dealership, car insurance, phone bill, I ended up getting my dogs through puppies n love at the mall and let me tell you now he is an Australian shepherd so that adds up was not a smart idea at the time. I guess what i am getting at here is you have to budget your money the best you can not everyone is going to be there to help you through those bumps in the road. You are the only one that can help yourself in the long turn so make smart financial decisions and save your money while you can if you are not paying rent of a lot of responsibilities right now while you still can. Because when you are saving with all these bills it can seem nearly impossible. But learn from my mistakes and take the steps that you need to to be able to have a positive experience and be able to afford everything that you want in life it is better to be able to learn now rather than end up broke with nothing in the long run because something fell through. make smart choices. :)

Entry #9 The media

Media is a huge thing in today's society we can not even walk down the street without seeing posters advertisements, magazines, hearing things on the radio, and television. Not to mention that it is what people are always talking about it. I always hear people say did you see this on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat? as if our whole world only exists around these things. We would have to live in a cave just to not see or hear about the media everywhere.  Sometimes I just wish I was born in the olden days just to see how it was without all of this technology when people had to actually talk with each other instead of just sending texts, and talking throughout social media this generation needs more of that. How do you pull a society that has already been exposed to that away? It is going to be really hard. You have people that make it their life goals just to be Facebook or Instagram famous with a bunch of likes we are sitting behind a screen. I wonder how over the years how many peoples eyes were affected by the constant use of technology. Staring at computers, phones, and TVs for hours on end. The media is a growing issue and leads to many issues yet it still has many good things like google. If you don't know something you can google it and the news giving us updates on what is going on around the world.

                                                                                     

Entry #8 Blood being thicker than water

Have you ever heard that blood is thicker than water? It is a saying that means that family is more important than anything else. But it does not have to be real blood family. I myself have many people that act more like my family than my real ones do. So does this saying mean that it has to be your blood family or can it be anyone that you consider your family? I think that it all boils down to who is there for you, who you turn to for support or who you turn to when you have a question because at the end of the day if they are the ones there for you through the thick and thin then they can be considered part of your family. It's hard because we cannot pick our family, how they treat us or how the act. All we can do is control our feeling to it and make the big decision of who is really important to us and who is always there for us.

Entry #7 # What are hash tags? #

What are hashtags? 

Hashtags are used to direct you to a group of some kind of like a movement. Have you ever heard of the #Metoo movement? Its were a bunch of people that suffered going through a traumatic event will say #metoo if they have been through it as well. It gives an agreed answer and makes you know that you are not alone. Yes, I have used hashtags mostly the #love hashtag or the #freedom #me. There are so many more hashtags out there all over the web right now. I believe they are mostly on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The cultural significance that hashtags have is that it makes you feel like you are not alone you can even look up #love in a search bar and find everything that has been posted with that hashtag. Wow, so you can see something that someone loves and see what types of things people love. By just searching #love which opened a gateway into what people love, you get to know others. 

Extra Credit Entry

In Michael Moore’s film, he went on to talk a lot about capitalism and how it affected the people of America. He shows us that in the beginning people just wanted the nicest things in life it was all about who had more money who could do more. What kind of different things you can make money from. Then, came the stock market crash and everyone got to feel what it was like to be on the other side of not having so much money all the time. The thoughts that I have about this video is that capitalism is wrong. People should except people the way that they are just because someone has more money, does not mean that they are a better person than the person that doesn't have the most money. When peoples loved ones pass away they should get the money, not these companies that have not been there throughout all of there life. The purpose of this film is to talk about the huge capitalism problem. It affects many people throughout there life. It is something that should be ended.

Entry #6 Animal Abuse is a Growing issue

Why? would anyone abuse a poor innocent little animals you ask? Because alot of people are messed up and cruel. Animal abuse is a growing issue in Arizona. Did you know that 70% of animals abused are dogs, 20.9% are cats and 24.1% are other animals. This is not okay people why would you harm something that cant even defend itself. It is a sick and cruel world that we live in and it is up to us to help those poor little babies get help and get out of the abusive homes that they are in. Those animals cant talk they really rely on us to save them, help them, feed them and love them but yet there are people that become viloent to these beaautiful loving and loyal creatures that god created for us to love. People say that dogs are a mans best friend but yet 70% of animals that are abused are dogs people train dogs to fight just for there entertainment. This is so sick people why would you want to watch that. I cannot stress this issue enough and people act like it is not even happening if you know someone is hurting there animal it should not be taken lightly. You should report it so that that animal can go to a loving home and get the help it needs dont be scared do the right thing. Think about it animlas try to protect us if we are getting abused by someone so why not do the right thing and save a poor babies life today do not stand by and let this happen. (881)501-0123
