    My view upon death penalty before watching the video about Darryl hunt’s case, was strongly against it. I truly believe that we have no say in who is to take someone’s life. Who are we to decide who lives or dies? There is no standard that we can place on someone’s life, to determine their existence in this world. Life is a precious gift, no matter how cruel the crime may be that the person being accused of committing the crime. I strongly believe that incarceration for the reminder of their life is in my view, the most extreme decision as a society to make in determining an individuals future.…

    I chose Sam Phillips for my producer because I love the blues and “rock and roll” and he played and important role in this area of the music industry. Sam Phillips inspires me to be more creative and to think outside the box when creating music. I think that's what music is all about. Sam not only broke down racial barriers in the music industry but really tested the limits of blues and helped and influenced the creation of “rock and roll”. He was a talent scout during the early stage of his career and I think talent scouts care more about music than even some musicians.…

    Our society is under a severe threat, and if we do not fix it immediately, then our future as a country is a very grim one. In author Bronwyn T. Williams’ Why Johnny can never, ever read: The perpetual literacy crisis and student identity, Bronwyn explains how each generation seems to claim that the upcoming generation is illiterate and how this assumption is indeed a product of changing times and standards. Throughout the years each generation has looked down upon their upcoming peers and declared that there is a literacy crisis in the making, and something must be done immediately. Bronwyn explains how and why this assumption is false, and what we can do as a society to encourage, not scare, the next generation “to write in any context , [and] make their language choices with knowledge and power” (Bronwyn par. 17). Essentially, Bronwyn uses a cause, effect, and solution method to get the idea that this crisis is all in our heads and what we as a society can do to end this perpetual literacy crisis across to the reader.…
