Final Blog

1. I feel as if this story has a lot of meaning. The guy narrating it is really passionate about it. It really shows me how are some mental illnesses are that we can not change. He tells it very well and it is very deep.
2. The purpose of this article is to tell people how serious Alzheimers is and show that it can be okay.
3. The text structure ties in between description and sequence and order. It describes what it was like for him and his family. It also tells kind of the time line of it all happening.
3. Some text features are the title, it is very bold and really jumps off the page. There are many graphics, there is a picture of him and what seems to be pictures of his mom and family. The author really gets his point across throughout the article.

I believe as if the more boys marked that as true because they don't have to go through what females do every day. I guarantee you that the boys that marked true are probably the ones treating the women that way. If they are treating women that way then they obviously see no wrong in what they are doing. Women still are treated so bad and no one can hide that.

 The person I picked for a lollipop moment was Ryan and I washed his car for him.
1. It can improve your quality of life because it opens up so many new things for people. It helps people connect in new and cool ways.
2. Shawn's passions in life are to have fun. My passions in life are to just live simply and be happy with the ones I love.
3. One part of social media is content, you can see so many cool new things. You can see things that are going on in Japan while you're stuck here in Michigan. The other part is consuming. When you post a picture and a bunch of people comment on it and tell you that you are beautiful, that makes you happy.
4. That story is so powerful. That just goes to show that the only reason we don't succeed is because we listen to what people say about us and we feed into that.

1. My lollipop moment was when anyone has ever told me I'm pretty because I struggle with self love a lot. Anytime Ryan ever tells me I'm pretty is such a huge lollipop moment for me.
2. I think she means that we're not worried about not living up to expectations, we are worried about not having the power to do much. I do agree. I know that I am living up to expectations I just don't think I'm doing it very well.
3. Clean ryan's car

1. Classics when your talking about books is a book that impacted you in such a way that you really reread it.

2. a collection of works by which others are measured in terms of literary skill and value.
(http://study.com/academy/lesson/literary-canon-definition-authors.html)
Some authors of the literary canon are, Shakespeare and Jane Austen

3. I don't think books should be banned. Books demonstrate the reality and sometimes the reality of the world may be too much for some people but they have to know it someday if they want to go into the real world.
Mice of men were banned because of racism, profanity, foul language, and violence.

1. Dust pneumonia is a medical condition that develops due to a lot of dust. One symptom was silicoses.
2. They would rub vaseline in their noses. A severe drought caused the dust bowl.
3. I think I would pack money and any snacks that we may have needed. I would pack clothes and probably some makeup.  It would be really hard leaving everything behind. I would hate it.

1. This PSA was very effective. Especially now because I am starting drivers training and I am going to start driving now. Everything in this PSA was crazy and really impacted my look on driving and how serious it is.
2. http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1920454_1920455_1920449,00.html
This really means a lot to me because my family struggles with drugs and addiction. This really speaks to me.

1. When it says that it is bad for health not to have a high school diploma I think about how this could make someone very depressed. This could put someone is such a state of mind that is not healthy because now, they can not get a job and they can not get money and money does make a lot of people happy.
2. People who do have a high school diploma have a lot higher self-esteem and they aspire others, children, and people that are struggling to continue getting their diplomas. People that never got their diploma show kids that it is okay not to get one, that is wrong. That shows kids a wrong path to go.
3. More and more kids drop out every year. I know sometimes, or most of the time, this school gets really boring to me. Every day we learn about stuff we don't even need to learn that we won't end up using in the long run. Some teachers are not very good at doing their job. Some I don't think really even know how to teach and that makes it hard for some kids. Another factor when it comes to dropping out is bullying. Some kids drop out because they get bullied everyday and school just is not a safe place for them. Other kids are just stubborn and would rather stay at home and sleep all day, there is no changing their minds.
