Day 23 news reading

  In a recent scientific breakthrough, scientists in China may have discovered the part of the brain associated with motivation. This is a hard area to pinpoint, so its an exciting discovery. They used two mice in an experiment, by placing the two mice and tubes and seeing which one was more driven to reach the other end. After, they used a type of light technology to pinpoint the area of the brain. This is an exciting discovery because with new knowledge of this area of the brain, scientists may be able to manipulate it. Which, if done correctly could possibly lead to a new, highly motivated generation of humans in the future.

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.
