I feel that Leonard's thesis is explaining that our resources are coming to a slight end. We are using more of our resources that are provided for us and when it comes to generations down the road we are going to run slim to out totally of them.  We are buying products that are structured to hurt our planet and this is not a good thing to have in our resources. Another thing that the video provides is information about it is leading to our health as a hazard as well. Like listed in the video "The erosion of local economies show a constant supply of people with no there option but to work in a hazards environment". Globally 200,000 people a day are moving to a job similar to this because they do not have a option. This is all just leading to bigger mistakes. We need to find a way to change the world before it get worse or even put tolls on our planets life. We are killing the resources and without them we cannot function as a community or make better for our life's.


Leonards primary purpose is to persuade the audience to tell the world and industries that the way we are using our resources are killing not just the planet but us as well. The toxic fumes are everywhere and are coming in toxic matter to young humans. The most primary source that the fumes are coming from are shockingly from mothers breast milk. They are filled with toxics that can make babies in risk of getting sick. Leonards purpose is to persuade people to help make the world a better place to live rather a place when we will eventually run out of resources and need more in the future.  She was being opinionated when explaining that the system material economically is actually called the system of crises and she actually backs the information up. our economy and government are all doing things so wrong. She is using feeling a cause of bias in her expression of things. She is saying babies and people are getting hurt over this.

I have read Kordell Lemms post about parking and having to use the restroom at blinn. And i would agree with him on everything. He is on point. It can also be very difficult to find a parking spot at blinn.

What Makes My Parents Special

What makes my parents special? There are so many reasons why they are so special. One reason is anytime I need something when it comes to help or need something for school they are always there for me one hundred percent of the time. They are my biggest supporters and they want me to be more successful than they are. They want me to grow up and not have to worry about anything when it comes to money situations. My parents want me to have everything and anything i want, when i am happy they are happy. My parents always worry about me and my 26 year old brother when it comes to anything! Yes! my 26 year old brother still! I just have the best parents anyone would be blessed with. Growing up my parents did not have a lot going for them. Their parents worked and did not have extra money for them. Now they are in a better position to bless me with what i want and at sometimes i feel i am the most spoiled person. But yes, they are great people. Thats is why i decided to write this blog about them.

Cell phones have changed our way of life. I will be using the Topical Division. With cell phones we can use them for many reasons. Officer’s use cell phones to communicate with other officers to help the community be a safe place for everyone. Large and small companies uses cell phones to communicate on what is going on around them. We could also use cell phones to as a way of communicating on different levels.  Cell phones are a huge part of our society today, and most people cannot function without them.

Another thing that has changed life was the camera on the cell phone. With cameras it helps people catch and cherish good memories and also could be used for work. A big part of our generation loves to use cameras. Our generation has the technology to capture anything and everything wanted. NASA and other important things we have in our country uses cameras to capture important things that are going around us.

In 2010 "Tonight Show" Conan O'Brien was in a big conflict matter with the former talk show host Jay Leno over who is run the show. Leno was the previous host until the show decided to try something new and move on to Conan in 1993. Many people were surprised and shocked that they have replaced Leno with Conan. But it was a great decision on NBC's part. The audience loved him, he was always a good way to end a day with Conan.

Conan as a little boy has always dreamed as being the host on the tonight show. It was a huge accomplishment on his part and he couldn't be happier. Until NBC decided to put Conan on the back burner and to put old host Jay Leno back in the spot light. Conan was not happy about this at all, and took him time to recover from it. Conan after what all went on from the tonight's show went on and gave a commencement address at the Darth Mouth College for the class of 2011. At the ceremony he explains his past and how not to be afraid of failure. That failure comes and goes throughout your life.

Just like Mark Edmondson's passage "Glorious Failure" they both are comparing bad and confused failure situations they have both encounter in their past. Conan uses a phrase Dreams always rising and falling basically Conan is explaining that there will always be ups and downs in life and it is your task to achieve them and not worry about the what ifs. And for Edmondson's article he says "I'm proud of the failures because without them I couldn't see the success I could obtain". It is important to not have stress in your life.

David Brooks and his passage "It's Not About You" as well as Barbara Graham's article "Confessions of a quit Addict". Both explain the main points of being successful in life. They both tell the audience that it is important to know yourself well and know if college is for you or not. If it is then its main key is to know your abilities and always do your best the first time. Barbara likes to go back to the past where "Martin Luther King Jr. and explains him on how he was gunned down". And David went to explain "Yet upon graduation they will enter a world that unprecedentedly wide open and unstructured". They are also not similar when it comes to getting to the point. Barbara likes to have a story on how she contributes to the same reaction and shows what she thinks. And David just gets to the point and explain strong details that might be confusing to the audience. Another thing that the two authors do not share in their articles are that chasing after dreams. Brooks tells that you should not chase after them. Achieve them. When Barbara explains her past on how she wanted to be free and with family she couldn't achieve her goals. But does wish she could go back if she could. Thats a important piece of information. Both are great authors and achieve great information for readers to take in, but it is always a important to dream and dream big.

Banned Book Week

Banned Book Week is a annual awareness campaign that celebrates the freedom to read, draws attention to banned and challenged books, also it highlights perspective individuals. Banned Book Week is hosted by the American Library Association. The people hope to achieve people engaging in the books that can be challenged or are challenged. "Looking For Alaska" by John Green is a story about a teenagers life that is thrown in as casually and skillfully. This book was challenged in 2006 for being explicit and talking about sexual content going on in the story. Another book that was challenged was the book "Fifty shades Of Grey". This book is about a romantic novel by E.L James. It is written in first persons view and about a college student. What I like about these two novels is that they are both best seller books even though they were banned from most school because of related arguments that parents did not like. They are both about struggles in life that people have to face and how they accomplish them.

In Frank Bruni's article when he says "Learning should be Dangerous"  what Bruni is trying to explain is if teenagers just stay true to your self and work through the obstacles you will achieve many things in life. Bruni is not wanting you to just do the minimal and just do what is told. Bruni is saying that over achievers are always the one who end up being successful. "Learning is full of life lessons". Bruni likes this term that is explained in this article The Truth when it is going from not achieving and just doing what's told to going past the horizon and look at things in a more outgoing positive way. College plays with weaknesses and teenagers need to catch them before it has a effect on your life or when you cant go back. Opportunities pass and go, its your turn to figure out what could be impacted on and achieve goals as a individual. Be successful in life, that is your goal.
