Template reveiw # 5

ime for template review # 5 baby!!! Again I was given an article to read and give a review on and here it goes. ARE YOU READY!!!!? Let’s go


   Question 1) Give and overview of the article. Well this article is just talking about a town call pripyat just a couple miles away from Chernobyl. It talks about a guide taking tourists through this ghost town, he warns them not to touch anything with your bare hand. This town became a ghost town when a nuclear reactor lost all of its materials stored inside it and the prevailing winds brought all of the waste over this town. In a small schoolhouse you can find childrens books and toys, and also children sized gas masks for the children. Most of the population fled the city when the nuclear reactor went off.
   Question 2) What are key points in the article? I think its important to understand that its so radioactive the tourists have to decontaminate their clothes when they are done visiting the town.
   Question 3) What did I find striking or interesting about these key points? I think it’s crazy how bad things can be in the world.’
   Question 4) How relevant would this be if this happened to you? Honestly I don’t know, I don’t think we have any nuclear reactors nearby but its definetly possible.
   Question 5) What do I agree or disagree with in this article? N/A
   Question 6) How has this article influenced me in thinking deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions? It makes me really want to study these reactors and see how they end up going off and killing a lot of people.
   Question 7) What further information or knowledge could I look for to find updates on this article and the family involved in it? Same as always.

Template review #4

   Who is exited for template review # 4!!! I was just given an article and asked to read it so here come the review questions.


   Question 1) Give an overview of the article. Well for me it was very hard to depict what the story was trying to say or what message it was trying to get across. I’m pretty sure it’s about a man who wrote a book about the bombing of Hiroshima. People really liked the book since it was told by him as the character in the book and he was there. But there was a lot of debate on whether he was really there or not. Basicly the entire article is about people arguing about him being there.
   Question 2) What are the key points in this article? Well it’s good to try and decide for yourself weather you think he was there or not. Not really a point but it’s something.
  Question 3) What did I find striking or interesting about the key point? Well It’s suprising there is this much debate, I mean the presedent has records of him being there.
   Question 4) How relevant would this be if this happened to you? Well I don’t think very relevant because I am not nor have I been thinking about joining the military.
    Question 5) What do I agree or disagree with in this article? I agree with the people that think that he was there.
   Question 6) How has this article influenced me in thinking deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions? Same answer as the last review, respect your elders.
   Question 7) What further information or knowledge could I look for to find updates on this article and the family involved in it? Well I am starting to think that I don’t really need to answer this anymore, It’s usually the same answer every time.

template review 3

Well I just read an article assigned to me in my journalism class. It was a pretty interesting article and I am ready for the template review.


   Question number 1) Give an overview of the article. Well its about a woman who just died recently and according to her family she has over 2000 desendents counting kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and even great grand kids. The story is about here and her life going through the hollacaust and just being a good mother to her kids. One of her children even said that of her 16 kids she never forgot who’s face and name belonged to them. When they had kids and grandkids  the same principal applied.
   Question 2) What are key points in the article? I think it is good to pay attension to she was in the holocaust and she had all these kids and lead them through it.
   Question 3) What do I find interesting about these key points? I find it interesting that she was able to do all of this for her kids and still have them all survive that.
   Question 4) How relevant would this be if it happened to you? Well not relevant at all because im not a mother, I don’t live in Germany and when I am a parent I’m not going to have 16 kids.
   Question5) What do I agree or disagree with in this article? The only thing I can have an opinion on this is the holocaust and I’m very sorry it happened and  I strongly disagree with it.
   Question 6) How has this article influenced me in thinking deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions? Well it makes me want to respect the elderly a lot more because no one but them knows what they have been through in their lives.
   Question 7) What further information or knowledge could I look for to find updates on this article and the family involved in it? Same answer as always

template reveiw #2

   Well I just read the article titled " Officials see slander in Uzbek photos, but artists see censorship". It was a pretty interesting article and much much different from the one we read yesterday. So it's time to answer the questions.


   Question 1) Give an overveiw of the article. Well this article is about a woman named Umida Akhmedova who went to uzbekistan to take some photos of the people there. She takes pictures of kids with sad faces and ragged clothing, or adults who are begging for a second chance and none of the people in the photos are bathed. The government sees these photos and she goes to court with a sentence of 3 years on the line. luckily the goverment show simpathy and lets her get away with no prison.


   Question 2) what are key points in the article? well one good point you should pay attension to is that she gets sentenced to jail for something as simple as picures, also that she gets away with no jail time.


   Question 3) What did i find striking or interesting about these points? Well I find it striking that she got away with no fines. Ussualy if the court is sentencing her to prison they dont change their minds.


   Question 4) how relevant would this be if it happned to you? well I dont think it would be very relevant because althogh I do enjoy photography I dont really do much of it


   Question 5) What do i agree or disagree with in this article? well i agree with the picures being spectacle and bad but I dont agree with the zero prison time.


   Question 6) How has this article influenced me in thinking deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions? Well it makes me realize that people in general should really pay attension to what could happen to them in the future if they make the decisions that they make.


   Question 7) What further information or knowledge could i look for to find updates on this article and the family involved in it? Well for this I'm going to have the same answer as the last reveiw, try to stay with the news and find some sort of blog that talkes about this.

template reveiw

   Well I just read an article that was given to me by my teacher and i was asked a few questions. I will answer as many of these questions as I can.

   question number one. Give an overveiw of the article. Well it was mainly about these two characters, loo and the kin brothers. It's about how both of these characters (kin brothers being two people) who have troubles in their lives and never give up. They end up being very sucsesfull and very well known. Loo woke up every morning looking out her window and seeing the mountains and wanted to snowboard. I wont go into detail but she misses qualifying for the olympics by 11-hundreths of a second. thats pretty close. If I was an olympic judge I would have mercy and let her try again right away, but she doesnt get that chance. The kin brothers borrowed some money, came to America not knowing any english, haveing no job, and no money. Basicly they don't give up and become sucsesfull.

   Question 2) What are key points in the article? I think the point that they dont ever give up is a very important point.


   Question3) What did i find striking or interesting in this point? well nothing really struck me hard but i did like that they never gave up.


   Question 4) How relevant would this be if this happned to me? well the only difference is I ski not snowboard and I'm not canadian.


   Question5) What do I agree or disagree with in this article. I dont think there is really a subject in this article that you could have a disagree or agree type of opinion to.


   Question6)   How has this article influenced me in thinking deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions? I think its made me remember how important it is to never give up on your dreams.


   Question 7)   What further info or knowledge could i look for to find updates on this article and the family involved in it? Well if they have some sort of blog I could try and follow that.

Local news

    Not many people have heard about this but something recently happened at alta high school either this week or last week. Here is the story that I heard. you may have heard a different story, but this is what I heard. I dont even know if this is true but here it goes.


    Last week or this week at alta high school a new kid came to the school on a day they where supposed to wear the alta hawks school colors. Well the only item of clothing that this kid had that was the colors of alta was a kkk or kuh kluks klan or however you spell it and say it sweater and or t-shirt. As he was walking down the hallway in the school the principal was walking by and she saw him and said hi... lets call him fred. She said to fred that she or he ( I dont know the principal) was proud that he was wearing the school colors. But listen to this. this is where the story gets weird. The principal saw him with the sweater... thats it. she didnt do anything about it. Nothing at all. Later on in the day the student was walking outside and he came across a police man and he asked him why he was wearing the shirts when he knew it was wrong. the studend responded to him saying that that was the only clothing item in his closet that was suitable for the school colors, he also said that he thaught it was alright because the principal saw him with it on and didn't do anything about it. The police man confronted the principal and this is where I started not to pay attension. This is what im pretty sure was said. The principal was either fired or suspended from her job and, another weird part is the student wasn't punished at all. not even getting the sweater confiscated. I think the student should be punished even if he dindt know it wasnt right.


   This is what should have happened. I think the student should atleast be confiscated the sweater, then he should have been tried in court and possibly been arested. If I where a cop I would go and talk to the parents and give them a talk and tell them how crappy of parents they are. If parents are letting their child where shirts that represent the worst gang in the history of the united states of america. If you don't know what the kkk is youre messed up. well maybe not but look it up and learn about them because kids in high school shouldnt be wearing things that represent that


  This just showes that this kid has not, doesn't, and will not have a good life. No offense to the familly but he is one of those kids that are going to be in a gang for there entire lives. He is going to be one of the kids that gets arrested constantly and is vandalizing property and doing drugs and all these bad things that now human being should have to do or go through. This kid needs help from someone that has gone through this. I used to watch this show where a guy named steve biko helped people like this and I just wish the show was still on so i could send him here. And the principal too. I am personaly going to go find steve biko and make him run this show again. I'm also going to talk to the channedl he was on and make them put him on again because this kid needs help in his life. Leave a comment below and tell me what you have heard and what you think should happen
