future...

If there was one book that I could save it would be the bible, because I just would. The bible foretells the future anyway; everything you need to know you can find it in the bible. It is also one of the most widely printed, read, and influential books in the western world. It also teaches the basics from the Ten Commandments good morals. It’s one of the books that I read on a daily basis.

Halloween.

Pertaining to Halloween, I don’t celebrate it anymore. What I dislike about Halloween now is that if were to try or trick or treat I wouldn’t be able to get much candy like I use to, most would say that I’m too old to still be trick or treating anyway. When my sisters and I were younger this day use to be fun. Now that I think about it, it’s funny because when we would go my mom would never have enough money to buy us costumes, so we would either wear half costumes like just the mask, or we would wear our regular clothes with a lot of makeup and lipstick. It was always fun for us to get ready and put on a lot of makeup, but the best part of it was when we were done and later that night my sisters and I would gather each other and compare candy. We would see how got the most candy and exchange candy between each other. I was always the one with the least amount of candy because I was scared of Halloween when I was little, LOL so I didn’t really leave my mom’s side that much, I only got candy if she went up to a house with me.  Another part of Halloween I remember is when my mom use to take our candy away from use so we wouldn’t eat it all at one time. We would always sneak into the kitchen and dish out the candy among us. There were three of us so we would have one watching out for our mom in the kitchen doorway, and one watching the window, and the other grabbing the candy. What’s even funnier is that we never got caught unless one of us got mad at the other and told. LOL!

revising........

Thinking about my experience with the process of revision, how do I feel about my original drafts? So far I feel that my rough drafts are rough drafts I guess. A rough draft is your first attempted at writing a formal paper that is constantly being improved until you are satisfied with it. The process of making changes through out the writing of a draft is called revision. According to William Zinsser, It is an ongoing process of rethinking the paper: reconsidering your arguments, reviewing your evidence, refining your purpose, reorganizing your presentation, reviving stale prose. I’m hoping that my rough drafts are showing the progress that I am making in English 101. My rough drafts always need improvements; I guess that’s a good thing. In my career I really don’t have to deal a lot with rough drafts. So I’m trying my best but I just want to pass the class and get out of it….ughL I hate writhing period! The instructor’s comments are clear and the revising does help some. I guess revising is a good thing!J

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lautrec_marcelle_lender_doing_the_bolero_in_'chilperic'_1895.jpg

The purpose of this painting I think is to entertain the audience with the different bright colors. The audience pertaining to this picture would be defined as known and unknown people who are interested in fine arts and paintings such as this one. The genre here could be web pages and painting. I think that this painting is something that I would never take two glances at.

TV impact...

If the TV’s were to be turned off I think children would grow up to be healthier, better educated, and more independent human beings. With TV’s off the increase in the obesity rate will most definitely decrease, taking most kids off the couch inside and into the outside world more, getting more involved. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada almost one in four Canadian children, between seven and 12, are obese. Now days TV shows and movies are portraying physical, mental and sexual violence, which has lead to children to exhibit aggressive behavior, With less TV comes less the aggressive behavior probably. According to, http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/26985.php Television viewing in early childhood varies depending on age; for very young children the effects are negative, while for preschool children they can be constructive A 2001 study from the Kaiser Family Foundation, entitled Sex on TV, three out of four prime time shows contain sexual references, with comedies topping the charts with 84% sexual content. According to, http://www.mediaawareness.ca/english/parents/television/tv_impact_kids.cfm  parents should be careful to the news, studies have shown that kids are more afraid of violence in news coverage than in any other media content. There’s also a “mean and scary world syndrome”, also known as increased fear, Children, particularly girls, are much more likely than adults to be portrayed as victims of violence on TV, and this can make them more afraid of the world around them. Too much TV effects health child development. Television can affect learning and school performance if it cuts into the time kids need for activities crucial to healthy mental and physical development.

power od adverisment.

                The power of advertising as I see it. How does it affect me as well as others? Ads today are hard to get away from, there simply everywhere. Ads today want to target any and everyone; it’s the best way to sell their product, today ads ten to use a lot of celebrities, or most of all half- naked women (victorias secret ads and commercials),(axe ads and commercials), or a little jingle (rally’s commercials), (Sandusky mall commercials), (MacDonald’s commercials), or whether it’s just a stupid commercial/ad that has no meaning to it, the point is to make viewers remember the particular ad I’m a big fan of Aeropostle and a lot of different types of shoes ads and the orbit gum, etc. Therefore their ads and commercials catch my attention, as well as others.
