Article 1 Response

              I read this article by skimming and reading the parts of the article that caught my eye most. I didn't read all of this article beause parts of it was so boring for me that I couldn't stand to sit there and read that part. This article is talking all about how google has changed all of our lives, not for the better but for the worse. Google has been helpful for speed but us Americans are now just taking advantage of the fastness. We don't just use google for a few thing we now use google for everything because every American knows that google has everything anybody needs to know within seconds. The part of the article that cauyght my eye the most is whenever they are talking about not reading full things anymore they just skim over everything they have to read now days. Hear is a quote that one of the guy interview's said “I now have almost totally lost the ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print,” thanks to the internet I beilive that google hasn't made us less smart it has just made us more lazy. We now can just type anything into the "search" panel and our answer and research needed pops up right there within seconds of searching. Overall this website created to be helpful every now and again has turned into the worlds number one thing.

          As I continue reading this book it starts to get better and better. This time I read about how Marisa's  dad is more supportive of her mental disorder, such as bipolar and depression, than her mother is. A quote in the book that leads me to this thought is " Mom is always more comfortable talking to me when I'm feeling normal, but dad reaches out no matter what. Let's just say mom didn't talk to me much when I was at my worse." In the next chapter I read  Marisa goes over to her neighbor Nash's house to do a chemistry lab write up. This is the second scene in the book with these two characters and you can really tell, even from the start, that there is an "awkward" flirtatious connection between them. I feel as a first time reader of  this book the further along in the story we will see Nash and Marisa together.

       I have just started this book and so far it has really caught my eye. It's a super girly book, which I love so much. It's about this girl named Marisa that is starting her sophomore year of high school and she wants to start it as a new person. She just spent two months at a summer camp and she has returned home. the first thing she does is go see her best friend Sterling. When she see's Sterling she noticed that she isn't her dark brown hair any more she is blonde. Marisa's first reaction is " oh my god, you hair!" Marisa of course says she loves it but really she doesn't. Here comes the first day of school and Marisa is super excited until she realizes she has no classes with Sterling. Marisa is upset about it but she looks over to Sterling and she has already moved on to a new group of "friends".  That's all I have gotten to so far in the book I can really tell that I will enjoy this book and its already amazing and I already never want to put the book down.

 I listened to the story face to face. On there I learned that the hurtful words that kids were using to bully others were the words that their parents were saying. I didn't realize that children catch on to thing that well.  I also learned that big things like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor have big effects on peoples lives.

 I have read this book many times before but I always go back and reread it because its my favorite! I love everything about this book it's a book that I never thought I would enjoy but I reread it and I just can't get enough of it.  This book is about a kid who wants two hound dogs but his grandfather can't afford them. The young boy works his butt off and earns enough money to get them. The hound dogs get into town and the young boy goes and picks them up and names the two dogs Little Ann and Old Dan. He trains the dogs to hunt coons and by coon season the dogs are all trained and ready to go. I'm not done reading this book yet but I love it so far and there is nothing I would want to change about this book.

Inspiration

Many things inspire me to write but the one thing that I could write forever about is my best friend and boyfriend. We have shared so many memories together that I could write about this topic forever. The main reason I could write about this topic forever is because he is the one that always pushes me to try my best and to succeed. He's something that I would be proud to write about forever and ever.

    This book is interesting but hard to understand and follow. In this book the two main characters are two guys that never stay out of trouble. Right now the guys snuck into Playland amusement park and started climbing the roller coasters. The cops show up and one of the guy's (Ethan) tries running away from  the cops but the "cop" dog caught him and put a huge bite in his leg. Ethan is disrespecting the police officer and the officer doesn't put up with it and says " just some foul language that don't get you nowhere." I haven't gotten that far into the book yet but I have my a prediction on what will happen and that is that Ethan is going to change his world around because he falls in love with a lovely, beautiful young lady.
