bog 6

So, this week has been hectic with last minute college apps and that 8 page research paper. But thank god its over! now i can relax a little more (somewhat).
im getting kind of excited for college now, even though i have yet to recieve my acceptance letter from MSU(though ive known for a month that i got in because i called and asked ahaha)
kind of excited about being out on my own, though it's also kind of scary because ill be 1700 miles away. But i mean im 18 and all so i guess it has to happen eventually.
im most likely going to live in a house when i go to college, so maybe ill get a pet or something ahaha.like a giant bird or something tropical lol.
um.not really sure what else to say in this and I'm really tired so I guess ill just end it now.

political cartoon #6-http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/jan/17/sarahs-new-gig/?opinioncartoons

1. Clay Bennett drew this cartoon

2. it was published online in The Chatanooga Times Free Press (www.TimesFreePress.com) on January 17, 2010

3. This cartoon is about Sarah Palin's new gig on FOX news. it's titled "sarah Palin at her best"

4. The message here is that people are reluctant to hear her views on anything, hence the "mute" function on the bottom right hand side.This cartoon portrays her as chatty, and makes her look kind of like a grandma, with her long face.

5. I agree with this message, i feel like she is il informed and whatever she has to say probably will sound ignorant. however, i do agree that this is the perfect job for her. She can talk as much as she wants, though how many will actually listen to her, i dont know. I like the mute part because it shows that no one is really willing to listen to her, because of some of the things she says, it just makes it more obvious of how lacking she is in experience.

free response question #5

It's 2010! So far Obama hasn't seemed to have done too much, but maybe this new year will be different. I think the new health care reform will pass, but it won't work very well. There's too many problems with costs and everything that it's really doubtful that it will actually help anything. Im hoping these economic problems we've had will subside, but if Obama keeps going on the track he is, its very unlikely. Also, with these recent terrorist problems, I'm hoping that the government and national security becomes a lot stricter. Its rediculous how lazy the security in airports has been considering how important it is to keep airports safe and terrorists out of the planes.

1.clay bennett drew this cartoon.
2. It was published online in the Chatanooga Times Free Press(www.timesfreepress.com) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009.
3. This cartoon is about the recent security increase in airports because of the terrorist bombing.
4. The message here is that fear of terrorists has become so great that security is tightening to the point where everyone is being checked, and not just their bags. almost as if theyre going through the conveyor belt and being scanned. its saying that everyone should be checked now, from head to toe, so as to ensure that another incident like the one that happened over the holidays wont happen again.
5. I agree with this message. because security wasnt as thoughrough as it should have been, a terrorist slipped through the cracks.only searching people randomly isnt good enough because you never know what people may be hiding. Though this means security will be more of a hastle, and take longer, its worth it if it means keeping innocent people as safe as possible.
