Go Green JCTC Project

I have never really given any attention to oil spills up until I started blogging in this class. I was not aware about the hard work that goes into cleaning these oil spills up. I also didn't know that wildlife was affected so much when there is an oil spill. I'm not sure if I would really say I enjoyed blogging. I think that if I was to blog about something that I was a little more interested in I would enjoy it more. I really don't have any suggestions for improvement. I think that it was very influential to us students about what can cause damage to our environment because I know that a lot of people really don't think or care about what happens to our environment. I have never blogged before.

Martin Luther King

I think what makes Martin Luther King Jr "I Have A Dream" speech effective is that he is such a powerful speaker. He repeats certain words through out the speech so that way it will get stuck in your head of what his speech is about. For example he continues to use the word freedom. Repetion is key to having a good speech. His audience also helps makes this speech effective. They are they to support what he has to say. I believe that the timing of his speech was right. The location of the speech is something that also made this speech effective. He stood infront of the Lincoln Memorail which faced the crowd. I believe this help people to really listen towhat he had to say especially when he would bring up rhetoric issues.

America loves the Olympics

I believe that the statement that Stephen Colbert made about Americans love the Olympics because we get to go to war with everyone at once is very incorrect. I understand that Stephen Colbert was only trying to make a joke about how intense the Olympics may get. My concern about this statement is this a good time to be joking about Americans wanting to be at war? I say this because of the war that we are in now. We did not chose to be in the war we currently facing and I know that there are many Americans that wish we were not in war. I think that the Olympics are probably the only time that we can go against other countries and not have to worry about someone getting killed or seriously injured by the other opponent. This is what makes the Olympics fun is getting to hopefully defeat the country you most despise in a orederly manner. I wouldn't in a joking manner say that it is like war. I wouldn't compare anything to war these days.

All Expenses Paid

If I was given the opportunity to go on a free trip anywhere I would want to go to go to Hawaii. On this trip I would take my boyfriend. The reason I would take him is because we get along so well and he would love it just as much as I would. We both love the beach and hot weather. Hawaii is such a romantic place that it would be perfect for us. I would want to go to Hawaii because it seems like such a beautiful place. Right now I'm in need of a much need relaxing trip and this would be perfect. I would love to see the volcanoes they have there. Hawaii I heard is very expensive so this would be a perfect trip to go on since it would be free. I would also love to experience the traditions they have there such as the pig roast and learning how to hula.
