Weld authorities seek shooting suspect. By, The Denver Post. In this article what matters to the author is to alert people that there is a shooter on the loose, to help out the police if you know where he is, and to give people a good story. When the author was writing this story he was trying to help out the police and give them some kind of a lead and to write something to entertain the people so they could read something intresting. This story relates to the world because it seems that there is more and more crime in the world not less. This story relates to me because my friend Jon's father died from a shooting and the person who shot him was never found. This article is very intresting and it is cool to read.

weird commerical we watcher today

The commerical we watched in class was actually very intresting because one way it was a very poor outlook of life and was all about the mony and the greed. But, when the writing went the other way it was very intresting in the way that it had a very posotive outlook on life and was all about changing the world. I think if everybody had the attitude of the first line that was written our world would be a hard place to live in. But, if everyone in the world had the attidude of the line that was written down backwards then our world would be a much more plesant place to live. This video related to our class because we are trying to leave the world a better place then we came into it as. Our assignment this semester is to change the world and That is what the commerical was trying to portray.

I remember when......

In the commercial we viewed in class by Intel what mattered was change. Throughout the commercial there many examples of changes in technology and in  the world. So why did they make this add in t.v.? Well, I think the reasoning behind making this add is that they want to be apart of a huge change in technology and they want to change some things too. This add kind of opened my eyes if you will and made me realize that the world is rapidly changing and everyone can be apart of it. So, that made me think I could change the world too. That add by intel was revolutionary in helping people understand that everyone can change the world.

Three item introduction.

In my house there are a lot of things that are important to me. But, the most important is my skateboard, my snowboard and my cat billy. My skateboard, In most of my free time I normally skateboard. I love it and it takes my mind of things. On the deck there is a colorful design including lions, brass knuckles, guns, and jesus. With a teal background.

It has silver bullet trucks. I started skateboarding when i was about 9 years old. It is my way of expressing my self if you will. Now, this skateboard I have is special because my brother gave it to me for my birthday. It was $155 and is one of the best in the world. I am very passionate about it. Before i started skating I was always very stressed out and had very bad grades in school. Ever since I took it up I have been much more happy and way less stressed out.

The next thing that is very important to me is my cat billy. He is a really good pet to me and my family. He is mostly a white cat, but every once and a while you will see a few orange spots on him. I have had this cat for a very long time 8 years I believe. If i ever lost him I would be crushed. He has been my first and only pet. It sounds a little weird, but when I am so stressed out he’s the first person I go to. I talk to him sometimes, he actually made me more relaxed. I see him and he never freaks out that stuck with me. I am more calm because of him.

The third most important thing to me in my house is my snowboard. It is a 686 snowboard with a very bland design of pink and green in the back and front. With burton custom bindings it comes to about $1000 I have had it for 5 years. This is not just any old snowboard, it is special to me because i paid for it myself. It took me 2 years to buy that. I have wanted it since I was 8. My snowboard has not taught me much, but when i use my board i go up to my favorite place, the mountains. When I'm snowboarding it is like nothing else in the world matters. If you ever come to my house you will defiantly know that these are the most important things in my life.

"Suspect sought in Greeley shooting." By The Denver Post. In this article it mattered that the shooter or suspect is "on the loose" and needs to be caught. After reading this I couldn't help but wonder to myself why would he shoot another man in a public building? The good thing is that the man was not killed. But, it is still unacceptable that he would shoot someone. The victim could have been seriously injured or killed and that's just not fair. But, it makes me wonder or almost feel bad for the shooter. I almost pity him for the fact that you must have some mental challenges or needs that made him shoot someone. So that also brings a question to mind, Does the shooter have mental problems? In this story I think that it is not fair that a man was shot for no apparent reason, but makes me wonder is the shooter has mental issues.

"Boy arrested for alleged threats at Fountain Highschool." By The assoiated Press. In this story it mattered that there was a very sick boy that was very "Confused" says Sgt. Jess freeman. I think it is very intresting that no one noticed that a young boy like this likely has mental issues. I tink it is so stupid and sad that there is more violevce and crime occuring then less. Why? What is the point of threating a boy? I just don't understand why people keep doing this stuff. All that comes out of it is people getting hurt and going to jail. This boy wil likely be fined because his parents have failed to notice that he has some problams. It is getting worse, all this crime and violence.

"Armed standoff With police in Winter park." By Joey Bunch. In this story what mattetred is that the author just needed to get the information out about a standoff and mabye to intrest some people. I always think that these kind of stories are kind of intresting. When I read this two immediate questions came to my mind. Was anyone killed? and Why was there a standoff in the first place? I really hope there was not anyone killed, that would horrible. It's not fair that some person trying to make a quick buck would kill an innocent police man trying to do his job. I'm not really sure what I think of this story but whoever was shhoting at the police got what he deserved.
