Hobart

Our reading criteria was based on a literary jornal called Hobart. I felt there was really no point to these stories. Some of them were vulgar and made no sense. Some of the stories we read were; Three Lessons in Firesurfing, My Total Awesome Funeral, The Augustus Mackinnon Story, Wedding Factory, and Lost in the Bush. These stories ranged from talking about how to plan a funeral to how your attention gets drawn to small pieces of furniture while walking into a room.

Walmart

Walmart is a growing corporation. Some people believe these stores should not be around. Most of these believers also believe in unions. Workers don't get paid as much as they should. In my opinion the good thing about it, their products are cheap. When you are in college and you don't have much money, you tend to search for things that are cheap, that you can afford.

Borat..HIGH FIVE!!

We watched "Borat" one day in our english class. This movie is a comedy where Borat travels from Kazakhstan, to report back to his country about "the best country in the world", the United States. He falls in love with Pamela Anderson and travels to California to find her. He visits a rodeo, a bread and breakfast where he has a fettish with the jews, and he travels in an ice cream truck. This movie was very vulgar but funny.

Fahrenheit 911

Fahrenheit 911 is a documentary that was produced by Michael Moore. It was one of the most controversial and provocative films ever produced. Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. The movie takes us inside the war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful human cost to U.S. soldiers and their families.

War in Iraq

The war in Iraq started on March 20, 2003. There are many different opinions about why the war is actually happening. In December 2003 Saddam was captured. The first battle of Fallujah took place in April 2004. In the movie Fahrenheit 911, there is talk that we are there because of oil. It states how there are actually soldiers protecting the oil rigs.

Ash Boar Bugs

Emerald ash borer is an exotic beetle that was discovered in southeastern Michigan in the summer of 2002. The beetles nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage. The larvae feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disabling the trees from transporting water and nutrients. Emerald ash borer could have arrived in the United States on solid wood packing material carried in cargo ships or airplanes originating in its native Asia.

Animal Affection

Animals show emotions towards us. I have a dog and whenever I am upset she always seems to pop up where I am. I believe that they know when something is wrong and when they are needed. If you treat an animal right then they will be right there for you as well. They can't talk so for them they show it through affection.
