This was a pretty boring exhibit. The guide talked about shapes that were included in the different art pieces. I probably had to wait about a half hour to get into the exhibit because the line was very long. I am not a big fan of art.
I went to this workshop today, and quite frankly, I did not find this workshop to be helpful or interesting.
The speaker had a condescending tone when she talked to us, and she was inept in explaining.
It seemed to me that she did not have enough knoledge about resume to fully explain it.
This workshop was a tour of Mercedes Matter’s modern artwork. When I got to the building there was quite a line to get in and they were only taking about 30 people at a time. So I waited for about an hour to be let in. The tour was okay; I liked some of her artwork but others not so much.
So this weekend I went to the freshman trip to Philly and it was pretty fun. I met a lot of new people on the trip and we all “bonded” through the games that were planned, the robe party, the pillow fight and the story telling. Initially I was unsure of whether or not I should go but I was glad I went before the first day even ended.
To be honest, this workshop was boring. The speaker had a very soft voice and a lot of people kept talking so it was hard to pay attention and listen. At one point he gave us all raisins and told us to use our senses to study the raisin which was kind of odd but interesting at the same time.
Hi, I’m not going to post up my entire paper. Just the first paragraph and then a summary of the body.
Many parents who do not have the time to watch or to accompany their children find ways to keep their children busy. One of the easiest ways to keep their children entertained is by placing their kids in front of a television. The children can enjoy a great variety of programs while parents can tend to their own business. But parents may not always be aware of what their children are watching. By allowing their children to watch television as a recreational activity, they may be exposing them to things that may be inappropriate for their age. The programs and advertisements that air on television all carry messages and ideas of their creator. A television show is the result of the medley of ideas of other people put together for a specific audience. Their target audience is key; the producers aim to use all sorts of tricks and gadgets to draw in viewers. And if it means resorting to violence, sex, and other touchy topics, then so be it. When children watch television, even programs that are deemed appropriate for their age, they may still be exposed to inappropriate content. One particular television series, The Family Guy, with its inappropriate material, has caused much controversy. The show, centered around an irrational, chubby father, his wife, their three children, and a talking dog, is just for laughs. Many people, however, feel that Family Guy has crossed the invisible line, marked ‘appropriate humor.’ Although I agree that Family Guy has its fair share of mature material, it is ultimately up to the parents to take action for their children.
My Body includes/will include: (1) Short intro of Fam Guy and its content (2) Intro to one particularly controversial scene (3) Analysis of the scene; how does it sell, what makes the characters so attractive, etc (4) What do critics have to say about Family Guy? How Family Guy producers defend themselves? (5) a study on how TV may not affect a child’s behavior (6) Parent’s roles in their children’s lives + Steps Parents should take to ensure appropriate viewing for their children. (7) summary/conclusion
Questions for those of you kind enough to help me:
1) Does my thesis work? Or is there still a “so what” factor?
2) Is there anything else I should include in my body? Or is there anything I should exclude?
3) Am I being specific enough? Or is my paper looking more like a book? (Not that It is long at all…but I’ll update you guys if it doesn’t come out to the required 7-10 pages.
Originally I was going to approach this paper with a negative view (Family guy is bad! Don’t let your children watch it.) But after watching (too many) clips of Family Guy, and reading reviews (with arguments from both sides), I think it’s better if I take a more pro-family guy approach.
Suggest away, guys!

I went to this workshop this Tuesday, and I really think that it was very helpful. Balancing school studies and my social life was a bit stressful for me, but this workshop taught me how to relax and calm down. I really liked what they called Progressive Muscle Relaxation, which is like an exercise that relaxes your muscles and your mind at the same time. Overall, it was awesome! :]
It was a fun workshop. Even though I didn’t like the storyline, the performers weren’t that bad.
Hello everyone,
I know we went over registration for the spring semester last class, but If anyone has any other questions feel free to ask me.
