Blog #2 Childrens book


 When I was a child my favorite children's book was Green Eggs and Ham By Dr. Seuss. I remember when I was little my Grandfather would read Green Eggs and Ham to Calm me down. It was one of the only books he ever read to me and is very sentimental to me. I remember a little creature named Sam trying to get this guy to try green eggs and ham. Sam annoyed the guy by following him everywhere and asking him if he would try green eggs and ham wherever he went. The guy always said he hated green eggs and ham. Finally the guy gave in to Sam and tried green eggs and ham and found out he liked it. I remember pictures of the places that Sam followed the guy to like on a train, in a car, on a plane, and in the dark. There was also a picture of the guy trying the green eggs and ham.

Green Eggs and Ham By Dr. Seuss was on of my favorite books because it brought my grandfather and I closer together when I was a child. My grandpa always made sure he had the book when he would see me so we were guarantied to have something we could do together. Green Eggs and Ham is the main reason I was so close to my grandpa. I now keep a copy of Green Eggs and Ham on a shelf in my bedroom where I can see it. Every once and a while I will take Green Eggs and Ham off the shelf and reread it when I miss my grandfather. I tend to read it when I am stressed, in a bad mood, or just need a break from reality and let all of my worries slip away.

Blog #11 Serial

I was not able to start Serial at the same time the class did, and have had to play catch up, but so far Serial has been a very interesting experience. It amazes me how we can listen to somebody investigate a closed case from over twenty years ago and get commentary from the officers and other people that were caught up in the case back in 1999. It is hard for me to decide whether or not Adnan is guilty because I have not heard all of the podcast, and no nothing about the case other than what I've learned in class. With that said, I do not believe Adnan is guilty because of his character and how he reacted to his breakup with Hae. After breaking up Adnan and Hae remained friends. Adnan also was friends with Don, Hae's new boy friend. I think that Jay either killed Hae or play a major roll in her murder because he was able to tell the police the location of her car. Jay struggled to tell a consistent story to the detectives, changing key parts like where he saw the body and if h...

Blog #6 Political candidate blog

When choosing a candidate to vote for I look for someone who will represent my beliefs and stand by his word even under pressure. The perfect candidate is a person who will support small communities, outdoorsman, and will help prevent the spread of large cities. In my opinion they should promote mom and pop stores, and small home towns throughout the country, putting his countries needs before his. I also believe that I am not going to vote for a person who is egotistical or someone who is not part of the working class of America. I do not care if the candidate is a Democrat, Republican, or if they are just an independent party. I believe political parties are a big mistake. Political parties require you to agree with their beliefs, causing you to see things one sided. On top of that  members of your party can try and force their beliefs on you. The most important thing I look for in a person is a person who will not worry about other countries problems unless it will directly i...

Blog # 17 The downfall of Mark Spitz

The ending of Zone One really caught me of guard.  I didn't expect Mark Spitz to get infected by the plague. Nor did I expect the barricade around Zone one to fall. Mark was almost always cautious. Mark was assigned to patrol with Omega unit in Zone one. Mark and Omega unit were patrolling with Bravo unit who they met up with the day before when they became surrounded by Skels. Mark, in fear for his life ran off towards camp. While running Mark got trapped by the Skels. It shocked me that Mark was trapped and infected by the Skels just outside of the camp that was supposed to be impenetrable being destroyed by the Skels. The author decided to withhold information about the governing body being corrupted until about halfway through the book when Omega unit found out that the Lieutenant had died. I didn't find any cliff hangers at the end of any chapters throughout the book.
