Day 5 writing prompt

Madelyn P.

          I can honestly say I agree with what Alexis Bloomer. Our generation is corrupt, lazy, and entitled. If I had to be honest, my opinion is that social media is responsible (along with ourselves) for much of the corruption and behavioral issues. We've grown up in a new age where standards for personality, body image, and a stigma of being "bad" has made us all insecure. While I think what Alexis Bloomer said is true, I don't think this generation is a failure by any means. I think we have all been torn down to some degree by peers, parents wanting us to resemble them, standards, and stress. The world has changed greatly since the last generation were teens, and things are different now. In some (small) aspects, I'm proud of my generation. We have young people fighting to state their opinion, we have young women my age fighting to be heard about feminism, and we have teens fighting for equality daily. Our generation has its major flaws, but I appreciate and love it for the positive things we've accomplished as teenagers as well.

Day 14 news response

      I probably won't be getting a good grade for this one, but I thought i'd announce the news that Salvador Dali had a pet ant eater. He would walk it on a leash in Paris. This guy really didn't care even a little bit. I personally don't think I've ever seen anything more iconic than this guy walking his ant eater.

Daily writing post 2// Is Rapid city any good?

Madelyn Perkovich         When asked about my opinion of Rapid City, I don't typically have much to say. Many teenagers in particular would have negative opinions, I believe this is because they feel limited living here. For example, I don't particularly love living here. That being said, I don't think Rapid City is a bad place to live. For me, I don't enjoy being here because I have many more places I'd like to see and experience. I want to see as much of the world as I can, and as I've grown and established more individuality within myself, I've come to develop preferences. For instance, I would prefer to live somewhere warm, with a beach near by, and a larger spectrum of things to do. I believe you grow as a person the more you travel, and I constantly chase that feeling of growth. So no, I don't hate Rapid, but I don't want to be here either.          Rapid city is a comfortable place, far from lots of the crime and terror and danger of larger

Day 20 news response

Scientists from Curtin university have stated that Mars has been too dry for millions of years to support life. The rover on Mars has proved from the surface of the planet that it is, and has been, too dry. They ran several experiments, one including the formation of rust, to determine the moisture levels on Mars. What they found was that the ratio of rust formation was one to four fewer than Antarctica. Since Antarctica is the driest place on earth, it is confirmed that mars is too arid to support life.
