A twisted world respoonse

  This was a humorous article.  I fully agree with everything that it states would happen if celebrities were to run our country.  This article shows much of what we value in this country, and that is ourselves.  We could care less about politics because we just want for the most part to be entertained.  We idolize the rich and famous because we want to be like them.  It is all about how much you have and what you look like, and how popular you are.  This in my opinion is what has brought this country to political and economic turmoil.  Do not get me wrong I like President Obama, however I feel he has tried to become a superstar celebrity.  He's appeared on various magazine covers, and numerous television programs including ESPN and even Oprah.  This may be an attempt to try and indear himself to the American people, make them feel as if he is just like them, however he is not.  Obama is the president of the United States, he should stop trying so hard to be a celebrity and stick to running the country.

Brainstorming

For the first project in English-101 we were asked to write about how we became the reader and writer that we are today.  I think to show how I evolved into the literate person I am today I will display it visually through the use of a collage showing my life chronologically.  This project is rather personal for me, because a lot of how I became the reader and writer I am today was the direct result of the love and support I get from my family.  Im going to use pictures of me as a child with my family to begin my visual story.My parents and grandparents always read to me when I was a baby and toddler.  I think reading to kids from a very young age is crucial. Reading to kids when they are little, although they can often get annoying about it, really helps them to develop their vocabulary and I also think it helps them recognize words faster which ultimately is beneficial to them when they are beginning to read because they are faster to recognize words. I also plan to incorporate my never-ending interest in sports.  I have played sports for basically my entire life and they have had an enourmous impact on my life.  I might also incorporate a small piece about how when I was a kid I read every single book I could get my hands on about dinosaurs.  I'm not sure what else to include, but these aspects are a solid building block for my first project.
