Video Games

Some of the things that what the author say I can actually agree with, but not everything. I agree that video games without words are really amazing, but games that do have cut scenes and words, can be just as amazing. When I was younger I played a lot of video games like the ones he was saying are the best, and I have to agree that if they had been very different I wouldn't like them nearly as much, but now I play both types of games, and it just depends in the game and what you are doing whether or not it needs all of the talking. A Mario game for example doesn't really need all of the talking, but if there is a game that relays heavily on the story line, it would need a lot of talking. He said that a game when a game had a story line all it did was take away from the game and show a lack of creativity from the creator. This is just not really true, a game with a story line shows a creative person just as much as a game with no story line. I think that they are actually more injoyable because I have a reason for doing whatever it is that I am supposed to be doing. He also said that if you have to actually think durning a game that also takes away from the fun of it. This may be true for some people, but for me I love to think and concentrate when playing a game. The only time I don't want to have to think is when I am watching t.v not when I'm playing a game. A game that makes me think is so much more fun, the challenges in the game are what really draw people to it. If a game is intellectually challenging and actually have really hard parts, is the most fun. If you don't have to think during a game then it just see,s like a waste of time and would be completely pointless to actually play. So although some games that have no actual story line or talking can be just as fun as a game with cut scenes and a story line, it depends not only on the game but also the person that is actually playing the game.

The beginning of this sing is really sad which will fit the mood of the first paragraph

This is the opening song we danced to in distinguished young women so it would go really good at the last paragraph while I'm talking about it.

Pat Benatar: Love is a Battlefield

This is just the beginning of the song. I thought that it was really good to show her on the bus riding away from her home.

Pat Benitar is leaving her home, and her dad yelling at her about it.

Her brother, who is really important to her, which you can tell by how it showed it.

Pat Benatar going up a dark staircase, which symbolizes her new darker life she has after she left her home.

Her doing her "job" which she has to do in a bigger city in order to survive.

Her brother again, reading a letter that she wrote him, also showing how much she cares for him.

The girls boss, trying to hit one of the girls.

Pat and the other workers all ganging up on him for trying to hurt one of them.

The main "fight" scene from the music video. Pat and the one guy dancing like they are actually fighting.

The girls out in the street, like they have finally been set free.

When all of these pictures are put together, it tells the story about a girl who leaves her home and then gets into some bad things. It also shows how she and other girls got out of it by simply "fighting" their way out.

Rough draft-recorded talk

It was my first day at Taylor county after Mannsville elementary school had been closed down. I only knew a few people in my class, which was a big adjustment to having the same twenty-five people in my class for the past three years. Everyday I would walk to class, lunch, and any other place I had to go looking at my feet while walking just to avoid eye contact with everyone. I never talked to anyone and getting called on in class was the worst thing possible. That never really change until high school when I got a Facebook and started to use it. I used Facebook as a kind of buffer to help me to learn how to talk to people, even when I couldn't actually talk to them in person. As the time went on, I learned how to talk to people face to face, which has been an amazing improvement to what I was like when I was in fourth grade.

Throughout my whole Facebook career it has helped me to learn how to talk to people and allowed me to do more things that I wouldn't have thought possible even a few years ago. It all started when I first made my Facebook account in March of 2009. It was near the end of my freshman year and I was still as shy as  I was in the years before. I first started talking to people on there after I started dating my ex-boyfriend Zak. Even with him I had problems talking, it was just so hard for me to get out what I wanted to say because of how nervous I always felt. Facebook was the only way I was able to talk to him, so I allowed it to act as a buffer so I might eventually be able to talk to him face to face. We started talking there, and eventually I could even talk to him in person, even eventually to where I was able to talk to him when it was just the two of us, which I found to be much harder than talking to him with a group of our friends.

After he broke up with me, I was completely devastated and wouldn't talk to almost anyone again for a little under a month. I once again started using Facebook as a buffer to talk to people. At first it was just my family and friends. Then I started talking to people I didn't know very well again. That was when I met my current boyfriend, who I have been dating for the past three years.

Throughout these past three years since I met Ryan, I have talked to even more people on Facebook, and it has been able to do extraordinary things for me. Thanks to Facebook acting as a buffer for between me and people, I was able to be in drama my junior and senior year, which ended up being a lot of fun for me. I was also able to participate in Distinguished Young Women, August of my senior year, which was one of the most amazing things I did in school. Facebook was the main thing that helped me to come out of my shell over the past few years. If not for it, none of what I have done would  have ever been possible.

I See Things as I See Them

So I decided that if I was going to find a "This I believe" speech that I didn't like I needed to go to a theme that would not interest me at all. So I went to the sports section. There I actually found one that I liked because it wasn't just about sports, but the second one I clicked I didn't really connect with at all. It was written by an older professional umpire, who had a really weird way of talking. It was part of the reason that I didn't really even want to listen to it. He didn't really talk about what his title said, so I thought he went a little off topic, which just made listening to it even harder on me. He just talked a lot about a couple of different things, which was kind of hard to decipher exactly what he was trying to say. He didn't really talk about one thing that he believed in, he talked about four. I couldn't really relate to the one about baseball at all, I don't think that baseball is something that everyone loves to do, or watch.
