Even though we do not have any blog due or even have to write one. I want everyone in the class to know, that in some way you all have helped me. I thought it would be hard to open up and participate but you all made me feel comfortable with open arms. I now am more verbal and able to speak in larger groups with people i do not know. So thank you and hopefully will be seeing each other next semester.....Sincerely Kristy

so in choosing my review , which was hard because there are a lot of movies i love but i went with one i am halfway in love with. i am going to do the movie Shawshank Redemption which came out in 1994, it stars Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. this movie is about a innocent man who goes to prison for murdering his wife and boyfriend whom she was having a affair with, which he did not do. this movie was written and directed by Frank Darabont and i found it very relevant to the last story we read in the patterns book Thanks to Modern Science. this movie definitely has its ups and downs  with the acting and there are some scenes that were not to interesting. although it has its faults it does tell a good story.

so the rolling stones review about the j edgar movie, i found to be very informative and honest. i have not seen the movie yet but i must say that Leonardo DiCaprio has done some great films and Clint Eastwood as the director means it in some form must be good. the photo they chose was great it shows a great picture of what J Edgar looked like if you don't remember. this review tells you a little about the movie and what was  good and bad it also tells you a little about Leonardo and Clint plus in some way persuades whether or not you should see this movie.

hi everyone so i picked 2 not sure which one to do. the first is the Budweiser commercial for the 10 year of 9/11. or the Chrysler Superbowl commercial in 2011.

Budweiser is all American beer, it aired  on 10 year anniversary of a tragedy in America at any point, it emotionally appeals to everyone, but it still is about promoting there beer

the Chrysler commercial at any point but not on children networks,it has eminem and one of his songs, it talks about Detroit history and what people fallacies are of it, and discusses that they build the best car in Detroit the Chrysler

I know i have not posted in a while, but i needed to think about what i was going to write.
The capital punishment article was interesting in many ways. It definitely provides its evidence and gives a emotional appeal, but i have to say, i support capital punishment if it fits the crime. as long as the evidence is undoubtedly. I agree that are country still has big gits, and corrupt politics which also makes it harder to punish those who actually commit the crime. for example did you know rapist and child molesters sometimes there sentence is less then a person who gets caught for selling drugs or has to many drunk driving charges. i think whatever it is you commit the punishment should be equal.

so i just read the story fame-iness and it definitely tells the truth about our society...pretty much he sums it up by saying if you act like a idiot or do something that is idiotic on camera and put it on the Internet or the  Jerry springer show or the news you can become famous..which is why the generation coming up thinks that they do not have to work hard to get what they want in life...when you are truly talented  its harder to shine when just anyone can have the celebrity

I want to write a visual literacy about my shop teacher in high school who showed me and brought me to the love of cooking.

I want to take one of my chef coats and make a collage out of it and then tell the story of a moment that he showed me that its not just a ingredient, its a idea and a flavor and a creation that you get...those are the moments that fueled my fire and passion to cook....

I read the excerpt written by Maya Angelou called I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She was a southern black woman who went from having nothing but sympathy to hatred for this woman Mrs Cullinan that she had worked for.

It amazes me that we still judge and treat each other in this society the way it was back in the early 1930's

We say that we have come out of slavery but all we did was move on to other things to judge and criticize.

Now its all based on stereo types and sexuality........

So good for Margaret for not allowing some ignorant person to treat her as she pleased.....

This comic hit home for me. I recently just realized that i am in a dead end job with know were to go and feel like i am a caged bird and that going to school, educating myself is a way to open that cage to freedom.

While most people sit and day dream of a better future, I have decided to take fantasy and turn it into my reality!
