Fourth Blog Prompt

I will agree that border walls divide because if you look at it as a piece of paper and you put a ruler in the middle of it, the ruler is dividing the two parts of paper. Now that doesn't mean that their aren't other ways to get to the other side of the paper because there could be. Another example is when Trump was trying to build a wall to keep other people from coming into our country. The wall, I think is just dividing us from other people.

Audience Awareness

All of these commercials have a reason for being created. It was made to get people to buy into each product so they can make money out of it. We should be critical of the intended audience in advertisements and other information that surrounds us because they could possibly give us false information. I believe these videos were intended for us people to watch and to inspire us with what they are trying to sell. For example, in the Budweiser video, it shows that the war is over in the beginning and that everyone should turn to "Budweiser" for excitement and celebration.

Transitioning from high school to college

In college, it's like I had to do everything on my own in a specific time manner so that way it doesn't run into anything else that I would have to do. I play tennis here at defiance for the fall and spring season. I decided to run track during the winter since there isn't tennis matches in the winter time. So, some people are able to play two sports in college if they spread it out and have enough time to do it. Since tennis is my main sport, I would go to tennis practice before track.

Desi's night of terror

As I wake up in jail, I was shocked and confused on why I was here. I couldn't even remember where I was last night. I start to pace back and forth trying to remember something until I felt things moving in my pockets. I had five items which were a tennis ball, my phone, a grip for my racket, ace wrap from my wrists and my keys. I started to remember where I was last night. I had a tennis match and I got into a little finder binder with my opponent. I was throwing tennis balls at her for cheating during the match, so she called the police on me for insulting her. Then, that is when I was arrested an taken to jail.
