Good interview

This interview was a very good interview, because Oprah was allowing Rihanna to express herself. she asked questions that required an explanation; she asked questions that if they were answered in one word they wouldn't make sense to the viewers so she had to explain.

Someone to watch over me

In this week reading someone to watch over me; I thought it was very interesting, and I related to it in some way. I find it interesting that the writer revolves her whole day around living through a social network site. Its kind of normal for kids in our generation to have at least two social network sites but she has at least five, and checks them everyday. I thought the part when she started to talk about how she looks to see where her friends are currently at; or if they came into contact with one another was like she was stalking them. when she talks about the profile pictures of people, and how you could tell whether or not they have confidence from it  can relate to that, because a lot of people do that now.     

It Takes A Tribe

In the reading It takes A tribe by David Berreby. In the beginning I thought he was being very sarcastic; the reason I thought he did this was to get the students comfortable. Later on in the speech he got more serious; he started to talk about how communities are being created within colleges. There are many ways communities are formed in colleges such as organizations, clubs, and sororities. These clubs help people come together.

Identity Project

For the identity project I have came up with the theme friends, sports, and family. So far I have gathered some pictures that I will use in my collage. I have not came up with an idea of how my collage is going to look, and how I am going to form the pictures.     

High Schools Secret Life Journal

I thought this reading was the most interesting, because its a topic I can relate to. It was weird to know that the writer referred to the groups as tribes, because when I think of tribes I think of family and culture not friends. When I first started to read the movie Mean Girls instantly popped up in my head, the way the writer describe the details of the clothes that each group were wearing reminded of when the girls had a dress code for each day. When the writer mentioned the walls being made out of a certain material that if there was graffiti written on it could be easily washed off I thought that was so cool, I actually for a moment visualized it and wanted to attend the school. I think people in high school who forms cliques that degrade others is a cry for attention or when they were younger they were probably in the other persons shoes. So now it gives them a chance to have the power they probably always wanted.
