1) A swirl. It’s all I see on the TV screen. It was an attack of a killer swarm of water and wind. Two of my most favorite things combine to make a destructive force.

2) It’s the same…it’s been the same over and over. I’ve had it. I need to do something different to escape from the never-ending lecture going on.

3) The circus car was out of gas. The clowns wandered off and one looks like prey. I stepped on the gas when the time was right. This is gonna be funny.

1) Rittenberg hooks the reader with a typical scene from every family: a talk in the living room. A lot can relate to talking or eavesdropping a parent’s unfortunate conversation.

2) He used the larger events and catastrophes of his father and grandfather’s time including the world wars and the nuclear bombs. 

3) He did say how with the bad things came the good things and miracles later on such as the end of wars and then confronts the issues in his time and his hopes.

4) The title is a quote he heard from his father that was passed down throughout the generations of his family.

I feel like I can agree halfway for Susan. I try to not get too techy and listen back to the generations of my mother and grandmother. Talking with my mother, she knew that vinyls sounded better than CDs. I found a newspaper article challenging Seattle U students to not use iPods, Cell Phones, TV, Music, etc. I wanted to take the 4 day long test, but I got a bit scared. Technology has its advantages and disadvantages. I believe that we need to listen to the previous generations and admire what they have seen, heard, and learned. We all have our experiences and enjoy them, no matter how many watts are used.

My experience with writing has been mixed, although I’m getting my skills up this year. I had a journalistic writing class last semester and two other writing classes this semester including this one. One assignment I really liked was a review of the movie WALL-E. Independently, it was more lists than lumps of writing. I feel writing is necessary because you can give yourself a voice and reflect on how you can improve on it.
