Entry #3 Slanted Report

Image
            What a world we live in today. Nowadays it just seems like finding an article that talks about a person like the president can be difficult. Slanted New/Reports can be described as another form of being biased towards something or someone, to make that person or  situation seem bad. It's an effective way to catch and make a new type of audience.      An example I came across was when CNN covered a story on  President Donald Trump allegedly attacking African American professional football players for being "African Americans". Although he did call out the NFL players it had nothing to do with their skin color. He called them out simply because along with him, and lots of people around the nation felt like kneeling at the time was a sign of disrespect towards people who are currently serving and served. Why were the players kneeling? At the time racism was at its peak. Kneeling or standin...

Blog #2 Weather

         No doubt Arizona's weather can be extremely crazy. Lately we have been experiencing chilly, to really windy to warm weather.  Luckily we didn't have to experience other people's troubles. In some places people saw over ten inches of snow. Making it hard and difficult to travel. Driving around snow can be extremely dangerous. Why? Each year over  100 people loose their live trying to do simple things to survive the harsh weather. Which is why no matter the weather you have to be safe.           Even though people think that living in the cold isn't bad at all, sometimes warm weather isn't bad. Throughout the spring time, the weather here can literally be called perfect. But when it comes to the actual summer time that's a completely different story.  During the summer time, temperatures here can reach up to 120 degrees. Making it difficult for people to even walk out of their homes, and making it dangerous for lots...

Entry #1 Blogs

  When I initially heard about blogs in class for the first time, I was not too intrigued. I just thought of it as a place for adults who have their whole life figured out, to talk about their experiences. But I was proved wrong. There's so much to a blog. People can talk about literally anything, at anytime.      If you're into movies and shows like most people. Tv Fanatic Girl aka Amy's blog has many great reviews. She talks about so many shows available on Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max etc. She provides trailers and a lot of background information about the shows for her viewers. Not only that but something that caught my attention and probably of many others, is that she includes a pros and cons section about the shows. The layout of her blog is interesting because she includes lots of pictures and statics. The purpose of Amy's blog is to inform readers about so many shows available. With Covid-19 going around, and lots of people having to quarantine her blog is a great...

                     Hi welcome to my blog. First things first my name is Yasmin Arreola, I am about to be 19 years old. I am a first generation student in my family attending college. Super nerve-wrecking, the pressure really is on. I am pursuing my dream of become a mid-wife nurse. They basically work with babies and their moms.                                             Some of my interests are sports, I enjoy soccer a lot. I started playing when I was nine years old. I first started playing in a girl and boys team which was super fun and really competitive. I played throughout high school, but sadly had to stop when college started. I just didn't see myself playing soccer in college, and it's just too time consuming. Another interest of mine is playing video games. When I have free time, I like to play on the ps4 w...
