"Franco/Hathaway Pairing Disappoints at Oscars" By Tim Grierson
23 February 2011
http://oscars.movies.yahoo.com/blog/111-franco-hathaway-pairing-disappoints-at-oscars?nc
Yesterday was the 83rd Annual Acaedemy Award Show. I watched the whole show becuase I found out that James Franco<3 was hosting it along with Anne Hathaway.From the begining many said that they don't understand why these two young stars would be the hosts, and so of course they are going to criticize. They say that Franco didn't do so well, and I must admit he didnt do his best but since this was his first time and he was up for his first Nominee ever I really don't blame him for being nervous. And I don't think he did so bad<3=].

"Wild Child Speechless After Tortured Life" Susan Donaldson James
24 February 2011
Today in sociology my teacher told us we would be watching a movie called "Genie the Wild Child", and I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but I looked it up and learned that it's more than just the story of a neglected child. She was basically isolated from society until she was saved when she was about 13 years old. We will learn more in class about how by being isolated can effect someone from fully becomeing into a human, because this girl didn't know anything about acting as a human due to her father's cruel isolation.

Girl Who was Forced to live in a Dog Cage

"Oprah talks to gir forced to live in dog cage" Anissa Ford
23 Febraury 2011
I was watching one show and on the bottom of the screen it read that on the next Oprah she would be intertviewing a "girl who was forced to live in a dog cage". I missed the actaul interview but I looked up the story and it said that in 1998,Chelsea Rogers was finally saved from her imprisoment in a dog cage, she was only seventeen at the time. Her parents excuse was that their daughter had psychiatric problems. But even if she did, they should have found a better solution, because forceing your own child tp live in a dog cage, is just wrong in so many ways, and not only did they neglect and abuse her, they abused their other kids as well.

Warning Signs

"Warning Signs"
22 Febraury 2011
If ever you want to read a good book I reccomend you read the book "Warning Signs" by Stephen White. It was a pretty interesting book and I don't want to give too much away, but all I want to say is that it made me think about the justice system. I know that not everything is perfect but if things that are mentioned in the book; such as the years put in prison. I believe we should make it an effort to fix it.

Class Discussion-2
I thought Friday's class discussion was pretty interesting, and hearing people's thoughts on the issue gave me a view to both sides of whether or not the mosque should be built near ground zero. But from begining to end of the discussion I beleived that the mosque shouldn't be built near ground zero because there are people who are still suffering from what happened on September 11. There were people who said it wasn't right to judge the muslims just because a few committed terrosim; and I agree but it's not the first time the U.S has been a target. I don't have a problem with the mosque being built anywhere else, I just wouldn't believe it would be something nice to do considering whats near by. There was this analogy I read in an article that I believe goes pretty well with this situation, a man said "Nazi's don't have the right to put up signs near the holocuast". When I sided with the believe that the mosque should not be built near ground zero it was because I was thinking of those that have suffered and the people that are still suffering and not because it's being racist as others in class believe. The mosque can be built there, they have the right, they just want a place to worship their religion peacefully like all other types of religions; but just because something can be done it doesn't really mean it should. And I feel bad becuase there are people out there that seem to want to stop muslims from doing anything, even from doing a frundraiser, and that's were I believe enough is enough. People come to live in the U.S for a better life and I believe they need to be given that chance. But overall the class discussion was great, there were some people that were really into it and I'm glad I actually contributed some of my thoughts.

True Story
"Aron Ralston- The Real Story", Stephanie Simon
7 Novemeber 2010
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedailymirror/2010/11/aron-ralston-the-real-story.html
Could you ever amputate your own arm? What if it saved your life? Aron Ralston faced this question. Aron was a cocky-adventrous- risk-taker-do-things-on-his-own type of guy, and he still is, what he's been through didn't slow him down. His trip to Utah he faced the challenge of whether or not to amputate his arm due to it being wedged between a boulder and a rock wall. The mistake he made was telling no one of were he was going and he had very few supplies, but he still somehow made it through five days. Aron's amazing story is told in the movie 127 Hours. [James Franco<3 plays Aron]

27 January 2011
There are a few if any ,guys like Chris Medina[26].He auditioned on American Idol with the song "Breakeven", and not only was his voice great but his story showed that he was an even greater person. Chris Medina was supposed to marry Juliana Ramos but two months before the wedding, tradgedy struck. Juliana was in a car accident that left her brain damaged, which has postoned the wedding. The beautiful part is that Chris is still with her, taking care of her. This story stuck to me because others would have left someone in that position but Chris didn't, and that to me was a sign of true love. And I really wish Chris and Juliana the best!

PACKERS or Steelers?

"Super Bowl 2011: Packers vs. Steelers, Who Will Win and How They'll Win It," Tom Edrington
January 31,2011
People are saying that waiting for the big game has been "dull",since there hasn't been any controversy or calling other players out. Many also beleive that the Steelers will win only because they've, "been there done that". This article talks about why one team might have the edge on certain things over the other. Well just have to see what happens on Sunday....and I REALLY hope the Packers win this year, I'd rather not have the Steelers win. So good luck to the Packers!!
