day 7 news response

 Madelyn P

Today in reading the news, I learned that when black holes collide, there is enough gravitational energy that it equals more than all the stars in the universe. I also discovered that when getting close to a block hole, you will be ripped apart limb by limb. Besides that, your wrist watch, though process, and everything else about your existence would slow dramatically. I find these things about space very interesting. If you were to orbit a black hole for three years, when you return to earth, it would be closer to a million years later.

Day 10 writing prompt (switched with 8)

Madelyn Perkovich In my opinion, people take risks for the sake of adventure because they are bored and want the rush. People who do these things aren't necessarily reckless, though they can be. People such as Alex Hannold that do incredibly risky things know the risk factor of what they are doing, yet continue to go farther and farther anyway. Adrenaline is one of the most intense feelings humans can feel, and it goes without saying people seek it out for that reason. People will do the craziest things to seek out a rush. Personally, I think it stems from wanting more out of life, more feeling. it takes determination and bravery to be persistent and seek out the dangerous things in life. Adrenaline rushes and adventure in my own opinion are two of the most amazing things humans can grasp and experience. Once someone feels this kind of "high: it can become addicting, almost like a drug. There aren't many things people wouldn't do to get more out of life. Even those o...

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...

Day 9 prompt

Madelyn Perkovich Following reading this review, I interpreted the writers view as mediocre and cliche. "A fistful of dollars" did indeed fit the form of most Westerns that I've seen. While I believed this movie was a bit predictable and standard, I still enjoyed it anyway. I feel as though the "whole cliche" of Westerns isn't exactly bad, though it can be repetitive. I still generally enjoy watching these movies even when that may be the case. In my opinion. Clint Eastwood was very good playing the well known part of a "half cowboy half gangster" and made the roll look unique. Though I think the plot is a bit over-used in westerns, I still enjoy the movies each time I watch them because I think its almost classic.
