comments to short stories

TO SAM C:i cant believe you actually used the name but overall it was a good story because you basically took a real life scenario and made a story about because i remember when baggy clothes use to be cool but now fitted clothes is what everyone wears.

TO MICHELLE: hey i like your story it kind of reminds me of grease when they wore leather jackets and have the slick here with the gel. i like you didnt try to make a story from today in our time but had the idea to make a story based on back in the 70s.

TO BRYANNA:joe is ass i dont know what makes him think he could be cool by doing things like that but overall it was a good story by choosing to talk about how some people would do too much just to fit in

TO CHRIS R: interesting story choice, you chose to talk about a divorce dad and how his son thinks his mothers new boyfriend is cool because of a motorcycle rather making a story about some cool kid in school and how everyone wants to be like them.

TO JESSICA: wow you took a whole other turn with your story, being cool wasnt good because she tried to do too much so she started failing. i think that was a good idea because you give a good example of how being cool can also mess you up academically.

ANALYSIS:From reading some of the stories being cool is having the latest things and being known by a lot of people. Also being means a lot of people wants to be like you but what they don't know is being cool can also bring consequences. For example in Jessica's story her main character shaquiqua wanted to be cool so much that she started doing bad in school and when she notice that she wasn't doing as good as she knows she should be doing she changed her ways and gave up on being cool and decided to focus more on her grades to get everything back together.

short story

Beyonce Minaj was the most coolest girl in school and everybody admire her from teachers to students. Every girl wanted to dress like her and every boy wanted her to be there girl and every time she walks down the hall people stop and stare. She had all the new outifts and shoes and all the girls wanted to them. Beyonce Minaj was getting tired of all the people staring at her and wanted to be like her. One day a couple of girls decided to dress exactly like her and when they got to school people were wondering why they decided to dress like that. When Beyonce Minaj seen them she was upset because some of the uncool people were dress just like her. She went up to them and asked them why they were dress like her and they answered we wanted to be like you. Beyonce Minaj wasn't happy with that so she got mad and smacked all 4 girls that was dress like her. Only 2 girls reacted to the smack and started fighting back. But what the girls didn't know about Beyonce Minaj was that she was a kick boxer and she been training for 10 years. So beat up both the girls and send them to the hospital. Ever since that day nobody ever tried to dress like her and people still admire her coolness.

When you are cool does it have something to do with the way you dress or the way you act? I think being cool is based on the things you wear like if you don't have the new gear that everyone wears your not consider cool. That makes people feel uncool because they would see everyone with the new shoes on and they don't have it which makes them want to get it just to feel cool. Being cool is also based on how you act because only people that are cool act a certain way. I'm not to sure how that way is but I'm sure other people know that is. If they are different types of cool then people would be cool in their own way and be some what equal to everyone. I'm not to sure other ways to define cool or other ways that makes a person cool so this blog post is going to be real short.

Art Project (Poem)

You wake and wipe the cold out your eye and check your phone for new messages.

Go wash up and all you can think about is that new message that is waiting on

you when you get out the bathroom. As you get dress you pause in between

pulling your pants up snd putting your shirt on to check the new message.

Walking to the train your only focus is on your phone and you don't even know

what is going on around you. Throughout the whole day the only thing that

is on your mind is that next new message. You go home and fall asleep waiting

on the new message and wake up and do the same thing all over again.

More people are confused on what kind of break downs their society is having and they do not know what is causing this to happen. Digital technology has affected our society in many ways that we are not able to notice the good or bad things about it. Not being able to notice these things kind of brain wash our society into not seeing things in our own point of view.

Digital technology has its good and bad things about it. Most people can only notice the good things like how efficient it is with it helping them to get around more easier. It is also a faster way to get information and how it keep them updated with the latest news and fashion that people are wearing. The bad thing it does to you is that it brain washes you in its own ways. For example websites about celebrities and their personal life an what they are wearing now a days becomes a addiction because you want to have the latest 411 on what is going on and you want to gossip about it. Another addiction that is common is cell phones and how people constantly checking them and do not want to miss anything on their phone. The bad rules out the goods because it always end up with being brain wash about something or some kind of addiction happening so that is why there are more bads than goods.

The movie Wall-E shows a perfect example of brain washing using digital technology because in the movie all the humans cleared earth and took a big space shuttle to space to live until earth started to grow its ecosystem again. The way they fooled the people to get onto this big space shuttle by showing them commercials about them living the best life ever and they were going to be in shape. That is a form of brain washing to convince them to take the risk and live out of space. What really happened on the space shuttle was that everybody was fat and was moved around in a chair and was updated on the latest outfit or meal to eat. They were so brain washed that they never notice what was going on the whole time or they never notice their surroundings because the digital technology kept them only focused on one thing.

Digital technology can't be stopped because it’s all around us and it will be hard to avoid. Now that everyone is use to it and use to all the information that it gives no one would want to stop using it. They would probably stop for a couple of days or maybe a couple of hours and get so antsy that would want to use it again and feel that they are missing part of their life’s.

In conclusion it is something we cant get rid of even if we try our hardest because it is going to be there no matter where you turn. Also as the years go by technology becomes more advance, which makes it even harder to avoid because now or sooner or later you would be able to sit back and relax and technology would do all your work for you.

I see that you have a good plan on what you want to write about. I think if you make good connections and give good examples your paper would be strong. I think you should make your thesis more brief and more explination about what you are trying to prove. What is going to be the main points in your allegory? I also chose wall-e as one of my topics and I think that was a perfect example because of all the brain washing they were using in the video just to convince people to get on the space ship thingy. But good luck with you paper and I hope you do well Anias
