House Back on Top

On this weeks episode of House, House tried to make the doctors that quit under Foreman to come back. This episode was good because the story about the Dibala case finally had consequences. In the previous episode Chase finally told Cameron that he intentionally killed Dibala. Cameron thought that this was totally out of character for Chase and decided that they needed change. At the beginning of the episode Cameron and Chase came into the Diagnostic workroom to tell House, Foreman, and Cuddy that they are quiting the team and are leaving the hospital. This was also the episode that House got his medical license back and officially was made head of the diagnostic department.

House decides that he needs some change as too. He calls/faxes Taub and Thirteen many times and every time they ignore him. He also tried to convince Chase and Cameron to stay and not quit the team because he wanted to choose from the best who should stay on the team. He knew that there were four spots on his team and he wanted to be able to choose from five doctors so that he felt in control of the situation. After enough pestering Taub and Thirteen realized that where their lives were are not as good as when they were working for House. They both went in to tell House that they will work for him again and that they will rejoin the team. Chase also told House that he is going to stay on the team because he thinks that he can do the most good and get redemption if he stays at the hospital. Cameron came into House's office shortly after Thirteen to tell him that even though Chase is not, she is still quiting. Cameron decided that she was going to quit because she did not want to be corrupted like Chase, she thought that Chase had spent to much time with House and now he has turned into him. She told House that Chase has become the type of person who will do whatever they think is right even if they know it is the wrong thing to do, just like House. House did not get the chance to pick members of his team because Cameron decided to quit, so not his team is Chase, Foreman, Taub, and Thirteen.

I thought that this episode was good because House was finally back in charge. When Foreman was running the department House was still telling him what to do. I thought that it was good that Chase finally had to suffer consequences for killing President Dibala. It was good that Taub and Thirteen returned to the hospital because they were doctors who still knew right from wrong because House has not corrupted them yet. I think that nearend Cameron was right when she said the House was going to corrupt Thirteen and Taub just like he did to Foreman and Chase. I though that this episode of House would get a rating of 3 out of 5.

Graphic Novel Gallery Walk

Astro Boy

1. The graphic novel is about a man using all of the technology at his disposal to build a robot that will be the most advanced piece of robotics to re-create a child with a immortal body.


2. The characters that are visible on this page are Astro Boy, the robots creator, and the team of scientist that were related.


3. The language on the page is more formal than other graphic novels.


4. The page has five boxes, but they are not the shape shape


5. The page reads from the top left to the bottom right


6. The page is not that appealing to the eye because it is black and white. It is easy to follow and it is not offensive at all.


7. The words on the page add to the visual impact of the of the page because it allows the reader to flow the story easier because he is explaining what he is going to do and why he wants to do it.


8. I would not be interested in reading this book because the it does not seem like the story will be very in depth or that it will go much further than where it is on this page

The Watchmen

1. This graphic novel seems to be about a man who is fed up with his city and will refuse to save it.


2. There are only three characters visible on this page. They are a store owner hosing down the street, a man walking through the blood on the street and a man looking to jump off of a building.


3. The text used on the page seems informal because the person is not talking to anyone and it seems darker than other novels because the person said that he would not help his city when the day came when they learned the errors of their ways.

5. The page reads like most books from North America. It reads from the top left to the bottom right.


6. The pictures on the page are not visually appealing. The pictures on the page is not difficult to follow, but some might say that it is offensive because it starts with blood running down the street and ends with a man preparing to jump off of a building.


7. The words on the page add to the effectiveness of the story because the pictures seem to be depressing and the text adds to that felling of sadness, anger and death.


8. The graphic novel looks like on that I would be interested in reading because it looks like the story will be interesting and it looks like a book that is for older teens than for children, unlike Astro Boy.

Wonder Twin Powers, Activate!

This week on Smallville two new characters were introduced, Zan and Janya. They both had super powers that allowed them to change shape into anything else. The two characters were based on the wonder twins from the cartoon series, the Superfriends. The two characters are supposed to be aliens who came to Earth without their parents, much like Clark. Their story is that they are originally from Sweden and that is why they have strange sounding names. The two twins have the ability to change into anything they can think of individually and they can change into much bigger and stronger things when they combine their pow errs together. The Wonder Twins were a good addition to the other heroes who have been on Smallville such as the Green Arrow, Cyborg, Aquaman, the Black Canary, The Angel of Vengeance, the Flash, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, Zatanna and and Supergirl. I thought that this episode was good because it got away from the story with Tess and Zod and was more focused on Clark and Lois.

The Wonder Twins, Zan and Janya, decided that they were going to use their powers to help their idol, the Red-Blue Blur. At the beginning of the episode a crate with 5 undercover police and bags of drugs is delivered to the Daily Planet with the symbol of the Blur on top. After that there starts to be a series of accidents around Metropolis that are all credited to the Blur, but the one making the mistakes are Zan and Janya. At one of their saves Janya dropped her cell phone and when Clark found it he called her house and used his super hearing to listen for the ringing once he heard it he superspeeded to their house and brought them back to watch tower to talk to Chloe about being a superhero. After Clark decided that he should call Lois, as the Blur, and tell her that he was not responsible for the mistakes that his fans made. When Clark calls Lois as the Blur he uses a voice changer so that she does not realize that it is Clark that she is talking to. When he calls her this time is voice changer stops working and she recognizes his voice and she starts to think that Clark is the Blur. When she confronts him about it he denies that he is the Blur. A leader of the city decided that Lois is too much into his business to have her around and he decides to kill her by throwing her off of the roof of the Daily Planet and when he does Clark tries to save her without using his powers to show her that he is not the Blur. He can not save her the normal way and she fell and the Wonder Twins came to save her. After she was saved she got a phone call from the Blur while Clark was standing in front of her and Clark later found out that it was Chloe who called Lois.

I thought that this episode was good because it introduced two new heroes for Metropolis. The two new heroes had to learn that they had to find their own way of doing things instead of following others. When Chloe called Lois, Chloe was listening to all of the cell phone calls in Metropolis and watching all of the security cameras, this is the wrong thing to do because it is a total invasion of people privacy and Chloe was overstepping her place. I think that it is ridiculous that Lois Lane has been in the show for almost six years and she has not yet realized that Clark has all of these superpowers, they lived together for two years and she still doesn't know. The ending of this episode was not very good because it ended with Lois having memories from the three weeks that she was in the future and than she started shaking and she passed out and it was over as soon as she fell. I think that this episode was very good because of the lesson that the twins had to learn. I would give this episode of Smallville a 4 out of 5.

School Ties

The film "School Ties" is an effective education tool. It can be used to teach students about many different social issues such as bullying or racism. This film could be used to teach students about racism because of the feelings and comments about the Jewish. The main character, David Greene, is a Jewish boy who starts to attend a school made of mostly christian students and staff. On his first day the football coach told Greene not to advertise that he is Jewish at the school. Throughout the entire movie David feels he has to hide his religion from all of his friends because they hate the Jewish. All of his friends throughout the entire movie made jokes abouts the Jewish or racist comments because that was how they were taught by their parents to treat them. The racism in this movie can be used to show students now how people were treated a few years ago and how it hurts that person because once it came out that David was Jewish everyone started to treat him differently and nobody wanted to be around him. The only limitation that showing this movie presents is that even though David is not expelled for cheating everyone still hates him and the movie does not show a large group of people start to learn how to respect others. It is important to teach students about respect to people of other religions so that this kind of racism eventually disappears.

Almost everything that is shown in school has some complaint afterwards. If I was a teacher showing this movie to my class and a parent complained I would probably still show the movie. If a parent complained I would explain to them why I am showing the class this movie and what educational value the movie has. I would tell this parent that the movie "School Ties" teaches students about racism. bullying and respect. I think that after a parent learned why the movie was being shown than they might not have the same complaint.

I think that using a movie to get the messages in this movie has some limitations. Using a movie to portrays serious message sometimes does not work because not everyone will listen to the movie if it all about a serious topic. Another problem with using a movie is that some people might not pick up on the messages in the story. There are also some benefits to using a movie. One of the benefits to using a movie is that most people would prefer to watch a movie than watch a commercial or listen to the radio. I think that a media form that would be better suited for this kind of message would be a newspaper article because it allows the reader to get first hand accounts from people who have had problems with racism or bullying. Another media form that would be better than a movie is a public service announcement because sometimes movies are too long and the message gets lost because some people do not have long attention spans and PSA's are short and usually easy to understand.

The Second Battle of Geonosis

Near the end of the movie Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones their was a huge battle scene between the clone troopers and battle droids on the planet Geonosis. The last two episodes of Star Wars The Clone Wars have been set on Geonosis with the Jedi trying to fully invade the planet and trying to destroy the biggest driod factory in the galaxy. In the first episode of the two, Landing at Point Rain, three groups of clones were led onto the surface by General Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, General Anakin Skywalker and General Master Ki-Adi-Mundi. The second episode, Weapons Factory, was the main battle at the factory on Geonosis with Anakin and Master General Luminara Unduli. I thought that these episodes were very good because they reflected the movie and they were able to have bigger battles than they were able to do in the movie.

"Believe in yourself or no one else will."

In last weeks episode,Landing at Point Rain, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ki-Adi-Mundi were responsible for leading an assault on Geonosis to reach the valley in front of a battle droid factory. They were given a small amount of ships and most of the clones did not make it to the landing point. This episode was about believing in yourself because all of the Jedi were in trouble but kept on going and fighting because there were people depending on them and they had to keep believing in themselves. I liked this episode because it showed how persevering and believing in yourself can really help you.

When the three groups were flying to the landing area Anakin's fleet and Ki-Adi-Mundi's fleet were shot down. The only group that made it to the landing area was Obi-Wans's fleet, but they only half their ships land. Each fleet was about six ships, one Jedi and 50 clones. When Anakin and Ahsoka tried to walk to the landing area they accidentally ended up at a Geonosian fortress where the lost even more clones. By the end of the episode Anakin Ahsoka, Rex, and seven clones made it it the landing area. When Ki-Adi-Mundi was shot down he also tried to walk to the landing area and he was injured. They started walk and unfortunately the fastest way was to go through a cave that was full of Geonosian warriors. In the cave most of the clones where killed and after Ki-Adi-Mundi escaped with his men there was only 13 of them left. This episode was the first part of a siege on Geonosis and the Geonosians proved to be a formidable foe to the Jedi. With most of the clones killed the three Jedi had to believe in themselves to make sure that they got through with as many clones as the could. I though that this episode was very good and showed that in a tough spot believing in yourself can be very valuable. I think that this episode would get a 3.5 out of 5.

"No gift is more precious than trust"

The second episode, Weapons Factory, was about the actual battle to destroy the factory. Master General Luminara Unduli and her padawan Barriss Offee came to aid Anakin and Ahsoka in the battle and they brought new clones as reinforcements. In this episode it showed that Anakin did not really trust Ahsoka to get the job done without his guidance or assistance. I thought that this episode was good because it showed that it is important to give your trust to others so that they are able to do things without you.

The battle plan for this episode was to have Anakin and Luminara lead the clones to the gates of the factory and have the main battle as a decoy as Ahsoka and Barriss went through the catacombs to get to the main reactor and they were do set bombs to destroy the factory from the inside out. Anakin did no like this plan because he did not want to leave Ahsoka to do something without him. As the battle took place many of the clones died because they were outflanked by the Geonosians and the battle droids. The padawans went through the catacombs and they eventually did reach did reach the main reactor room but they were met by more battle droids and they had to fight to be able to set the bombs. The clones and Jedi outside were forced to retreat after the Geonosians sent out new tanks that had special shields that did not allow any of the weapons to penetrate the exterior. The Geonosians took all of the bombs that the padawans set during their little battle in the reactor room and then they did not know what to do once the Geonosians go away with all of their bombs. The finally decided that their only choice was to destroy the reactor with a tank and destroy the factory and themselves. When the factory exploded Anakin insisted that they had to dig until they found their padawans because he refused to give up on them. Ahsoka and Barriss both survived and they but their trust into the masters to find them and it paid off because they got them out alive. This was disturbing to Master Unduli, she was happy to see her padawan but she was also ready to let her go if it was her time. Anakin would not let Ahsoka die and he would not let anything stop him from finding her. Anakin's determination led Master Unduli to tell him that "It's not that I gave up, Skywalker, but unlike you, when the time comes, I am prepared to let my student go. Can you say the same.". I thought that this episode was very good because it showed the value of trust in others. I thought that it was important for Anakin to learn to trust Ahsoka because he will not be able to fight in the war if he is always worrying about her. I thought that Ahsoka and Barriss made the right choice to sacrifice themselves to destroy the factory and save countless lives somewhere else.I would give this episode a 4 out of 5.

Who is a Visitor?

On Tuesday night the second episode of the new series V was on. This episode started off right where the first episode ended. At the very beginning a team of V's were sent out to clean up from the fight between the V's and the resistance. The way this episode went was very good because it helped the audience connect the first episode and the second because so much happened in the premiere that it might have been hard to keep track. i liked this episode because it showed how the lives off all of the main characters have changed since the arrival of the Visitors.

This episode mainly focused around the aftermath of the resistance meeting for Erica Evans. Since her partner turned out to be one of the Visitors she did not know how to react when he attacked her at the resistance meeting. She ended up killing him at the end of the first episode and was called by her boos at the FBI and he told her that her partner was missing. Throughout the entire episode she stuck to her story that he was a rouge agent who started to fight for the terrorists and that she had figured it out and that is why he has disappeared. She convinced her boss that they will never see him again. She has joined forces with Father Jack to form a new resistance to take down the V's. Her son Tyler at the end of the first episode join the Visitor Peace Ambassador program against his mothers wishes. He was cut off from the Visitors during his time with the peace ambassadors. The Visitor who watched over him and helped him with becoming a peace ambassador was Lisa. Lisa was trying to get Tyler to act more like a Visitor and the entire time Tyler was trying to get Lisa to go out on a date with him when the V's where allowed into the public. When Tyler hit one of the protesters Lisa was very disappointed and now both of them are in trouble and he will most likely be kicked out of the program. Anna finally convinced the American government to allow Visitors to obtain visas to allow them to enter the genera population to see human culture up close. This is what cause Father Jack to agree to build a resistance with Erica. The was not much that happened with the other characters on the show during this episode because it was mainly focused around Erica trying to not be arrested for her partners murder.

I liked this episode and I will watch the rest of the season. I think that this show is good because it is not like anything else that is o television right now. I think that it is good that the characters are not all in a little group and are always interacting with each other because too many shows do that and it is not longer entertaining for most people. I think that this was a great episode and think that it will be interesting to see how the people in the show react to the Visitors being allowed to ;eave their ships and embassies and go not the regular population. I think that the only problem with this will be that once they enter the regular population how will people be able to tell the difference between humans and Visitors. i think that what Erica told Father jack was correct, that "anyone could be a visitor" because they look the same and can obviously assimilate into regular society quickly and discreetly like the Visitors that have built lives and have been on Earth for much longer than people realized. I think that this episode of V would be a 3 out of 5.

Remembrace Day Is About Respect

Remembrance Day is an important day all over the world. I think that everyone should somewhat participate in Remembrance Day. The men and women who gave their lives to protect the freedom of others deserve to have a day when those who they protected can reflect and give thanks to them. Every school and office should participate in a moment of silence. It is a sign of respect to wear a poppy in the month of November, some people so not and do not care about those who went to war while others still care even though they do not have a poppy. i think that Remembrance Day should be a event all over the world not just in some countries. We need to remember those who died in battle, but it is just as important to remember those who survived battle or those who where injured at war. Remembrance Day is another day where you can remember those in your family who might have gone to war or civilians who where killed during war. I think that Remembrance Day is one of the most important days of the year because it gives everyone a the chance to think about those who went to war to protect the people the care about. It is important to remember family members that go to war and give your respect regardless if they return or not.

Buying Test Scores

It should be taught to all people that receive a education degree that it is wrong to sell goods grades. It takes away from all of the students who work hard for their grades if other students who just slack off all year tun around and buy their grades. Any teacher who gives their students the chance to improve their mark with their parents money. it is unethical for teachers to allow bad students to do better buy selling them test scores. I think that the school should receive a new administration because they think that it is a good idea to give students with bad grades a chance to buy better ones because they had a bad bake sale. Students who receive increased test scores should not be allowed to apply to post-secondary education because they did not earn their marks and will not do well at another school.

Who Said TV Could Never Hurt You?

Last night at 9 pm Supernatural was on. This episode had a past character on the show. In two other episodes from previous season a pagan god who was a Trickster was on the show. The Trickster is pagan god who is able to distort reality and mess with peoples minds. The Trickster has a mean sense of humor. He likes to give bad people their "just desserts". In the previous episodes the Trickster had first messed with other people but then the second time tried to only mess with Sam and Dean. This was a good episode because it got away from the demons and it is always better when they bring a past character back because they do not have to give a back story.

This time the Trickster tried to mess with Sam and Dean by putting them in television world. They were put into many different shows because it was all a game to the Trickster. When Sam and Dean first got the town where the Trickster was and investigated the murder the police thought that the murder was done by a bear, but Sam and Dean where more interested in the wife`s story because she thought that her husband was killed by the Incredible Hulk. They now realized that the Trickster was behind the murders. The Trickster lured them to a warehouse where they ended up in a hospital drama called Dr. Sexy, MD. This show was based on the show Grey`s Anatomy. The Trickster confronted Sam and Dean and told them that they had to play along with his game or they will die. Dean was shot shortly after that and Sam had to play his role in the show as a doctor to save Dean`s life. As soon as surgery was done Sam and Dean were transported to a Japanese game show called Nutcracker. All of the questions where asked in Japanese and if they got the question wrong or did not answer that a huge metal pole would hit them in the balls. Sam was the only one that was hit and Dean tried to answer and he spoke in Japanese. Eventually they went through many other television shows, some based on real shows and others where totally made up.

Some of the funniest shows they went to was CSI: Miami where Sam was Horatio Caine and Dean was another CSI tech. They both played the parts and made fun of the body movements of the characters. Another good clip they went to was a commercial for Genital Herpes medication where Sam had to be one of the people who endorsed the product and had to keep saying that he had genital herpes. After they where in CSI: Miami they thought that they had killed the Trickster and they went back to their motel and then Dean realized that he could not find Sam when they were back at the motel. Dean went out to their car and could hear Sam talking, but could not see him. They realized that the Trickster had turned Sam in KITT as they were driving back to the warehouse to fight the Trickster the Knight Rider music was playing the whole time. Once they found the Trickster they trapped him a ring of Holy Fire because they figured that he was and angel. It turned out that the Trickster was actually the archangel Gabriel.

I thought that this episode was the best in this season. I thought that it was good because it was really funny and got away from the serious nature and the darkness of the rest of the episodes. I was surprised when the Trickster turned out to be an archangel because he was in other episodes and was just a normal monster. It made sense that he was an archangel because in the other two episodes Sam and Dean killed him and he kept coming back.Of course there had to be an element of danger in the episode and it was represented by Sam and Dean getting hurt and almost dying because of television shows. I thought that this was the best episode of the season and by far the funniest part was the herpes commercial because Dean was in the background the entire time laughing at Sam because he had to keep saying he had genital herpes. I thought that this episode would deserve a 4.5 out of 5.

The Arrival

Tuesday night was the series premiere of the new show V. It is a remake of another show from 1983, which was also called V. I thought that it was great and I liked the idea of the show. The plot in the show is that aliens, call themselves the Visitors, come to Earth seeking a relationship with humans and some people embrace the "V's" and others don't trust them. I thought that it was a good show and was different from other shows that are on TV, even though this is a remake.

The show V started by showing the main characters starting their day and where they are in life when all of a sudden little earthquakes start throughout New York City. After all the human characters are introduced there is a big earthquake and people start to notice that there is a spaceship over downtown. It later turns out that there are 29 spaceships over major cities throughout the world. Everyone was nervous and panicking after the arrival of the spaceships and the on the bottom of the ships a screen appears with the leader of the Visitors, Anna, addressing the people of Earth telling them why they have arrived on Earth. Anna told the people that all they wanted was to use a common mineral found on Earth and use it to fuel their ships so that they can leave and in until then they will share their advance technology and medicine with the world. There are many people who accept them with open arms, like Tyler Evans, but there are others who are secretly leading a resistance against the Visitors for many years, like Georgie.

There are 16 main characters on the show V. The human characters are Erica Evans, Father Jack , Chad Decker, Tyler Evans, Valerie , Brandon, Georgie, and Roy. Erica Evans is the mother of Tyler Evans and is a FBI agent who is skeptical about the Visitors which causes her to eventually join the secret resistance. Father Jack is a priest in New York who thinks that the Visitors wail cause more problems for humans than good by causing them to turn away from god and become devoted to the Visitors, he also joins the secret resistance along with Erica. Chad Decker is a news anchor who has been chosen by the visitors to be their voice in the human news world, he works closely with Anna and she seems to trust him more than other humans she has met with. Chad was also the first human to have an interview with a Visitor. Tyler Evans is a 17 year old boy who after going onto one of the Visitors motherships meets Lisa and decides that he is going to become one of their Peace Ambassadors, Tyler is one of the people who welcomes them completely. Brandon is one of Tyler's friend and is the reason that he gets onto the mothership in the first place. Roy is one of the people who goes to Father Jacks church and is one of the people who welcomes the Visitors because they used their advanced medicine to cure him of his disease that confined him to a wheelchair. Georgie is the last human main character on the show. Georgie is the leader of the mysterious secret resistance against the Visitors, he says that the Visitors have been on Earth for decades and just now revealed themselves, he turned out to be right by the end of the episode.

There are not many main characters who are Visitors, there are only three so far. The leader of the Visitors is Anna. Anna is the face of the Visitors, she is the one that is the face of the Visitors. Anna also comes to trust Chad Decker to be the only human that she will talk through, all of the important things that Anna has to say to the humans she wants to say it through Chad. Lisa is another character who is a Visitor. Lisa is the leader of the Peace Ambassador program in New York. Tyler seems to have a crush on Lisa and she uses it to make him join the ambassadors. The peace Ambassadors are people who spend a lot of time with the "V's" and then go back to the neighbourhoods and spread the message of the Visitors. Marcus is the last main character who is a Visitor. Marcus seems to be Anna's assistant or her secretary or something. Marcus did not have a big part in the first episode and might not be such a big deal in the show.

I thought that the new series V was great. I think that it is a good idea and is different from other shows on right now. I like the idea that the aliens look like normal people and seem to want to help humans. I think that the helping of the humans might not last that long because I don't think that there would be a need to have a resistance if the Visitors are going to help. I thought that is was strange that the Visitors kept saying "We are of peace, always.", i thought that they might be trying to convince the humans that they are peaceful so that they will not attack them and they can try to earn more trust from the humans for some reason.I look forward to seeing where the story goes and how the characters will react to the events of the last few minutes of the episode. I would rate the new series V 4.5 out of 5.

This is ABC's promotion for their new series V



This was the scene when Anna first addressed the people of Earth after the arrival of the V's.

Ten Thousand Years Will Give you Such a Crick in the Neck

The movie that had the greatest impact on me as a child was probably Aladdin. In my opinion it was the greatest movie ever. I still think of it as one of the best movies ever. It had everything like genies, flying carpets, adventure, and awesome music. I think that this movie had the greatest impact on me as a child because I watched it almost everyday. I could have told you every line in the movie and exactly what happens scene by scene, I could probably still give you a detailed description since I watched it so much. I think that Aladdin was one of the best Disney movies ever. One of the best parts of this movie was the songs in it, they were catchy and once they got stuck in your head they are in there for days. Prince Ali, Friend Like Me, A Whole New World, Arabian Nights, and One Jump are some of the best Disney songs ever in the movies. The Disney songs that are in the movies today are all really bad.

The message in Aladdin is that no matter how high your dreams are you can still reach them. I think that the message of Aladdin does not have the same effect on adults that it does on children. By the time an adult watches the movie they have already made most of their choices and have probably given up on their dream, if they have reached it yet. Children on the other hand still have time to make unthinkable goals and try to reach them and work towards them. Most kids probably don't understand the message behind the movie, I didn't, because they are not really looking for an underlying message. Now that I am older I can look back on the movie and see the message that it is trying to send to kids and I think that it would help some kids who do not have some of the opportunities that other kids have and might help them try to do better in life and find a way to get the opportunities that are presented to others. Overall I think that Aladdin is great impact on kids and adults, but more on kids. I think that watching Aladdin now would be very different for me than watching Aladdin when I was a little kid. The message of most kids shows/movies loses it's meaning as people get older and less impressionable.

This is one of the scenes from the movie where Aladdin meets Carpet, the flying carpet, in the Cave of Wonders.


One of the best parts of Aladdin was the songs by Genie, like Friend Like Me.


The trailer for the greatest Disney movie ever, Aladdin (1992).

Don't be a statistic

Drinking and driving is talked about all of the time. Even though everyone talks about it, I think that it is still an important issue. I found this public service announcement on YouTube about drinking and driving and I thought that it was a very effective PSA. I watched the whole thing and did not realize that they were all say "was" until it was pointed out. I thought that this was effective because it gave the statistics on deaths related to drunk driving and it gave examples of victims. Another thing that was effective about this video was that the people talking were people that knew the victim, instead of a voice talking over the video. There are many people who are affected by drinking and driving, the people who are not at the scene are the people who are hit the hardest such as family and friends. I thought that the slogan for this campaign was great, "Don't be a statistic". I think that more people, especially teenagers, need to understand the true effects that drink and driving has on their families. This public service announcement is a good first step into learning that lesson.
