Responding to the Mcmansion article

To me the central point of the article is that we as a society are spoiling are selves with things that maybe we don't need. Houses that have swimming pools, people want to live in nice neighborhoods,extra high ceilings, etc. She asked what ever happened to family's that wanted a house to only have maybe 3 bedrooms with a 1 car garage and with 2bathrooms. Allot of that has to do with money. The more money you have the more things you want. Why? Is because people can afford things that others don't have. I say to those people is go head and give yourself and family the best you can give cause i no i would. the scary thing about it is that it's going to get worst. In the conclusion she talk about the future and where kids are gonna take us. So i agree with everything she is saying cause it is all true.

Description

As i was looking at my school called Red Rocks Community College i seen nothing but opportunity. This is a place where i see myself being for a couple of years. A chance where i can be all i can be. A chance to do something with my life and prove to my self that my dreams can come true. I see lots of windows which means to dream. I see plenty of students that are giving the opportunity to succeed. I see the word community which means that we all work together as a group. I also see change. To change someones life, beliefs, actions, and some there past. This is a place where people should be taking advantage of the opportunity to make that change. Even though you might see people come and go that doesn't mean that you have to. We all go home to our family's but then report back here the next day. That means dedication. When you have dedicating you have love for it. That's all you need.

What Tattoos Represent

As a kid i always wanted to be like others such as older cousins,friends,and to stay up with fashion. When i got my first tattoo i thought what should i get on my self that I'm gonna look at for the rest of my life. i thought of gangs stuff like where I'm from. Not my town or city or state but what side of the town do i represent. i thought about that and said I'm not gonna be a gang banger my whole life its time to grow up. Finally i came to a conclusion and said who do i love. The first people who popped in my mind was my mother and father. i said that is something i want look at everyday and say those are the ones who no me the best and who will always be their for me. the only thing now that scares me about tattoos is i don't want one that I'm gonna regret the next day. Also there to expensive and i don't no if i can trust anyone if i don't see no ones work that has been done before on others i wont let them touch my skin. For words of advice to others think about what you are doing first and make sure it means something.

My reaction to my collage

As i was doing my collage. I thought of words and text. I feel that you can learn more from words and text better then pictures. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and its so true. I put words like happy,cherish,dreaming,succeed,etc. Those are words that my life revolves around and i live everyday. My key points I wanted to key on was my family. I cannot be the same without them. They mad me who i am and i thought it would be nice to honor them through pictures and text. I felt like i could of gave more effort and time on my collage. But overall I think i did OK and met the standards.

Reaction to Essay

My reaction to the essay is she hits every key points you can hit. She gives examples of how people today want to be so much like their hero and are willing to go through whatever it takes to be just like that person. Even if they don't they still want to be as beautiful and as rich. I think the reason why people are so worried about there image is because in today's society people look at other people on the outside. What they have,what kinda car are they driving, check out that women's purse and her clothing, and do they have the top of the line accessories. That shouldn't matter though. We should look at people as do they have a education, are they a leader, do they have a sense of humor. Those things are what we should be looking at when you see someone. As this world develops i come to find out that its all about money. If you have money you have power and when you have power you have respect. That what it comes down to. People want all the new stuff but little do they no that everything cost money. Some earn it and others take it. If you earn your money and you worked hard your whole life you should be able to have anything that you would like.

Effects and Purpose of John Mccain speech

In the beginning they showed a video of John McCain's life. He served this country in Vietnam. He also is a father of 7 children and a loving husband. But better yet he is a mommas boy so me and him have something in com in. The crowd gave him a standing ovation. Then he walked to the podium and addressed the world. He said that he would not let us down if he becomes president. Im dying to wait and see. He gave respect to his opponent Obama. But then turned around and said how he really feels about him. As i was watching ther was a couple of Obama supporters in the crowd. Some where holding up signs that where against him at his own speech. Im sure he didnt like that. Mccain talked about the same situations that Obama did but from his view. When he talked it reminded me of watching a George Bush speech. He had a smile after every word and seemed to make a couple of thing a joke just like Bush. His voice didnt convince me to vote for him. After last weeks Obama speech i think it was hard for Mccain to answer back. Obama drew in more supporters as he talked. He has so many people convinced that its hard to change ther mind. Personaly i have alot of questions for Mccain that probably whont get answered. But this november my voice will get herd.

Purpose and effects of Borrack Obama speech

I never new nothin about Borrack Obama. Who he is, where he came from, nothing but that he is going to be running to be the next President of the United States. But after finally getting a chance to see him speak last Thursday. He brought chills to my skin. When he first came out the audience gave him a standing ovation. I swear they stood up for at least 10 minutes. He had people crying and grown men with tears in their eyes. Everything that he was saying was correct. He was saying so much things that relate to me and my family. When he said that we should give back to people who get up at 5 in the morning to put a meal on the table for there family and loved ones is the exact same thing my mom and dad have been doing all ther lives. Also when he said that 8 years has been enough of putting up with the gas prices and many of peoples houses up for foreclosure is enough. Really sitting down and thinking about that is exactly what is happening now. Gas prices are at a all time high and so are foreclosures on peoples houses. He kept saying that it is a time for change. I agree. When he speaks he reminds me of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and the next one is Borrack Obama. I feel like this guy is the leader to lead this country. I never thought I would be alive to see the first black president but this November we will see history with are own eyes.
