Leonard's Video

      In Leonard's video she talks about all the natural disasters that happened in our world today because how we can't take care of it and some of the industrial work that we do that messes up our atmosphere I think her thesis was saying the government is the reason for how the earth is today with the natural disasters. All the stuff we own came from a five step process like natural recourse exploitation (to ruin our planet by doing things like cutting our trees and destroying our mountains), production which talks about we use all these chemicals every day and how they spread to ruin the planet with pollution. Then we have distribution which means to sell things mad by factories, overall she explains how every new thing we buy to replace the old means in order to make the new things we have to cut down some of our natural resources, and that cause us to have natural disaster because we dont know where the new material is being made. The stuff that buy we also have to remember where they are made from cause some of the manufacturing can harm our planet.

      I think in her video she is being persuasive on how the government is affecting our planet because she gave good examples of how pollution and industrial work is harming the earth’s atmosphere. The other thing I see on how Leonard is being persuasive is that she gave an example of how the new things we buy to replace the old to inform and express to us that we and the government  are the reason the earth is being polluted and harmed, and she wants us to not take the natural resources for granted, that is what I think her overall point in the video. So in conclusion I have told you what I have gotten from Leonard’s video and how she is being persuasive on how and why the government is the reason for ruing our planet 

my summary over my classmates blogs

In my first blog I read was Georgia Nobles blog and her blog talked about how high school did not prepare us for college. She also talks about how they she struggled in her classes and how the teachers never took time to help her but now that she in college she getting all the help and knowledge she need in her reading class. I would say that I would strongly agree with her blog because I also had problems with reading and my teachers never helped me get a better understanding of it, instead they only taught us how to pass a TAKS test so we graduate from high school instead of preparing us for everyday life. The next blog I read was from Jessica Carter and she talked about how she love her nieces and nephews. She is one big hearted person who happy and proud for her loved ones, from what I see in her as a friend I know she is a wonderful aunt to them( keep up the good work). Last but not least I read Quoc's blog and he talk about how good 21 Jump Street is he actually use an authors purpose of trying to persuade us to watch the movie.

A zombie apocalypse has begun and people are dying you need to know the three steps on how to kill a zombie in order to survive. The first is to always  carry a sharp weapon ( knife, sword ,etc.) because they last longer than any weapon. Next in order to kill a zombie without disturbing the others you must hide your scent of human flesh with dead flesh. This will fool the zombies into thinking you are just like them. Lastly if you have your sharp weapon and your scent is hidden you are ready to attack. The main thing in attacking is aim for head, because the zombies only live because of their brain(body shots will not affect them). If you follow these steps you will have no problem surviving with the zombies.

Conan O'Brien commencment speech and Mark Edmundson's "Glorious Failure"

In 2011 Conan O'Brien offers a commencement address to Dart Mouth University, and in his address he talks about his huge public disappointment as a late night TV host. In 2010 there was conflict Involving O'Brien and Jay Leno about becoming a fifth host because both of their contracts were being extended. The Tonight Show remained O'Brien's and Leno got his own show " The Jay Leno Show". In the end both shows failed to attract viewers and there rating dropped horribly. So the reason O'Brien talks about his disappointment in his speech because he was telling the graduates that failing is not bad, instead it takes failure to become successful, so Conan's speech is similar with Mark Edmundson's "Glorious Failure" because Edmundson uses famous writer's who all failed at something, nut in the end they became successful later in their lives. Also, Conan's address and Edmundson's "Glorious Failure" both gave us examples of what, why, and how him and other famous people became successful after failing in an event in their lives, and how failing is just another chapter in their lives to successful. So in conclusion I have told you how and why Mark Edmundson's "Glorious Failure"  and Conan O'Brien's commencement speech to Dart Mouth University are similar because they both state and explained by example why in order to become successful you must fail at something in life.

Banned Books Week and Dangerous Learning

        As I was looking at the website I read that banned books was hosted on Google because they got 307 request for books to be removed from America's libraries for restriction purposes. The plan they wanted to achieve and did was to get rid of inappropriate books from libraries and use the website to sell them. Their purpose falls in Bruni's hope for "dangerous learning" because it shows that these banned books were an unexpected sign on how we need to learn about certain books. One of the books that was surprisingly challenged was Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey, it was challenged because of offensive language, unsuited for age group, and violence, but Captain Underpants was basically about two kids who hypnotized a teacher into becoming a super hero they made up in a comic book they created and the story jus continues with all the adventure they will be going through so I don't know why it was challenged. However; Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L James the other hand was challenged because of nudity, sexually explicit, unsuited for age group and religious viewpoints. These books titles were appealing to me because I heard that Fifty Shades of Grey was a good book also from the reports I got made me really want to read it but it just wasn't suited for my age at the time. Captain Underpants I grew up to it as a kid it was always my favorite book to read when I was bored. In conclusion I told You who Hosted Banned Books Week and how its purpose was similar to Bruni's "dangerous Learning" quote, I also gave you two books that were appealing to me and the reason they were challenged and why I liked them.

In Frank Bruni's article " The Wilds of Education" he uses a quote that states " But when it comes to learning shouldn't they be dangerous", from that quote  think he is saying should school be challenging and disrupted to teach the students " The Wilds of Education". One of the quotes that Bruni said that I enjoyed was " isn't education supposed to be provoke, disrupted, challenge the paradigms that young people have consciously embraced and attacked the prejudice that they absorbed". I enjoyed this quote because he gave some good reasons on why education should be challenging or "dangerous". One of the examples of dangerous learning was from a book called The Art of Racing In The Rain, it was an example because one it was banned for its sex scenes that made parents uncomfortable and the sex scenes like rape, abuse and abortion that should be exposed to high schools to teach the students the hardship and controversies of adulthood. In conclusion I gave you a reason why Bruni uses the terminology "dangerous learning " and I gave you a concrete example of it.

Its not about you

In David Brook's article on "It Not About You" he talks in the article about someone finding themselves and losing themselves, and I'm going to give you a difference between them because there is a difference between the two. From the text and my thought i think finding yourself means to find out who you are as a person by personality and other traits. Its like a mission of soul searching to dig deep into yourself and actually know who you are as a person and your purpose of being here. Now losing yourself to me means that yo already knew who you was but you are being someone you know you are not which is causing you to change and forget who you at first (losing yourself), For example you could be the kindest and sweetest person but you can hang with wrong crowd which cause you to change and forget that you was that sweet person every thought you was that is what losing yourself means to me. In conclusion I have told you the difference between losing yourself and finding yourself according to David Brook's New York Times on "Its Not About You"

 

 

Brett Ratcher Rush Hour 2 (2001) is an violent action pack comedy on two police officers who gone on these adventures to solve crimes and bring people to justice, and are funny doing it too. In the second version of Rush hour Det. James Carter (played by Chris Tucker) and Chief inspector Lee(played by Jackie Chan) travels to China for a vacation but end of having to solve a case on a serious murderer. The movie may be action pack and adventurous but its is really funny. I would advise Mr Still and my fellow peers to watch this movie because I like how they added Chris Tucker (a real comedian and Det. James carter) as one of the main character because some movies need some humor to make it more interesting. I also like how they do the special effects when they jump off buildings , dodge cars, and etc.

Richard Corliss of Time Magazine says that Rush Hour 2 " content to rely on the formula that could (small sigh) that could extend for a few more sequels, and  would agree with that cause Rush Hour
has time times when they go off topic and have to rely on the formula to get the movie back on track, but it is still an awesome.

 



joshmrfootball

My name is Joshua Nutall I am an injury prone African American. I was born on May 22, 1996 in Bryan, Texas at St Joseph hospital, and I have two brothers and one niece. In majority of my time I like to go hoop (playing basketball) with some friends and work to make money; however on days that I don't do anything I'll sit back in my nice couch, turn on some Netflix and watch Kill Bill, Rush Hour 1,2,and 3. Football and basketball always interest me because I like to stay updated with my favorite players (LeSean McCoy, and LeBron James)  because in football I always played offense in the back field all my life and turned out to be pretty descent in it; however basketball I always played the small forward spot but I was never good in that sport so I stayed with football, but my football came to and end when I torn my ACL three time in both my knees and never I got to play my varsity years but I stayed strong. In conclusion I told my name and what my interest were but one thing I left out was that I was a real caring giver that always help someone in need because that's my personality(always remember my shoe game stays on point).
