Movie Review

Watching the film We Bought a Zoo directed by Jerry Maguire left me inspired. It is a "feel-good" film that is also based on a true story. A single father named Benjamin Mee (due to his wife's recent passing) has left him confused and stuck. He decides to move, and the house he buys is a zoo. Reviving it and his family is the goal, and he does just that. The movie was full of heart, laughs, and relatable feelings. Most of all it gives us a sense of adventure. 
Jerry Maguire (dir.) Starring Matt Damon

    While this review is much shorter than the standard formal film review and focuses on summary for most of the content, you do give two specific examples of why you like it, thanks for that.

My Inspiration Op-Ed is from the Los Angeles Times titled "Happy 'Other' Mother's Day". It is an article that discusses a woman thanking all of the mother figures that have helped raise her throughout her life, rather than her own mother. Her biological mom died at 16. This inspired me, for two reasons. Being a mother any day now I am writing an article that would fall into a similar category of children and family. I also loved this article because growing up without a father I have many 'Other' Fathers that I thank on that one day of the year, and they are special. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-torres-mothers-day-community-20190512-story.html The Universal Simplicity in Raising Our Children By Danielle Hagerty August 1 st , 2019 There is not a universal instruction manual for raising all of our children.

Questioning The Media

My memories of playing early video games are not very strong. I did not play many video games growing up, but I do remember some. My brother was a lover of video games and I remember the Playstation being big. Back then we had games such as, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and Star Fox. I also remember having a Game Boy. I liked to play games such as Animal Crossing, or Mall Tycoon where you built a farm and sort of a community as an animal or a mall. I believe that they influenced my childhood in that they were a fun thing to do when having late night sleepovers or when you could not play outside. They were not constantly played in the home that I remember. I have not necessarily been appalled at the level of violence, misogony or racism in any video games I played. I never enjoyed video games that would have those characteristics in them anyway. I do remember babysitting before and there was a 4 year old playing Grand Theft Auto, which was fine to the parents. I had no power to object to ...

Popular Music The response of the recording industry to file sharing has been a negative one, hopefully with positive outcomes. In simple terms file sharing is as it sounds; the giving away of files for free. You could download music, movies, many files at no cost. This also means that the artists that created these files whatever they may be are getting nothing for their work. Napster, and Kazaa are some of the most well known sites that did this. As this began causing problems the record industry was successful in getting these companies shut down in court. I do not believe the 2013 ruling against Jammie Thomas will completely hault file sharing. The internet is much like the ocean, no can really control it completely. It is this weird place that can't be monitored as easily as everything else in our world. I do believe that it will bring notice to the fact that it is still happening and is definitely not okay. This is good.  Since using the "cloud" to st...
