WW2 Imagery

Not sure of the background info but this is WW2

This reminds me of the "last war always creates the means for the next" because the last one was fought for liberty, so is this one.
Glenn Grothe 1942

This poster is a scare tactic, saying that if he isn't defeated your freedom from fear will be taken away

It's an example of how when somebody is indoctrinated with the thought he is higher than his fellow humans, this is only one step away from that.

1. What stands out to you most in this interview?

When the interviewer said "A rather large weapon." vonnegut could have agreed or gave a simple acknowledgment or short answer but he gave a rather detailed paragraph. It really shows how much of a writer he is outside of just simply writing on paper.

2. What experiences led Vonnegut to write Slaughterhouse Five?

The bombing of dresden how he survived in a meat locker in a slaughter house

3. Prior to reading Slaughterhouse Five, what would you like to ask KV?

Do you think you could have written slaughterhouse five without waiting all those years?

Is there anything that gives you inspiration or would you say inspiration is unpredictable?

Evanglyn has a good base idea starting off with the economy. Everybody is affected by the economy and is easily relatable to everybody. She has a multitude of anecdotes, statistical and shocking facts available to her to support her article.

Tim has a lot of creative options that can possibly be used to create an interesting article. Although the first one is normal nothing good writing can't spice up. The script seems like it could be used to effectively show a "day in my shoes" kind of story. The comic would be challenging and out of the ordinary but would take up a lot of pages.

Brandi seems to want to talk about her internship experiences exclusively although I think her last option would give the most to the audience as it talks about her experience and her real life relationships she formed. If her experiences and relationships are communicated well I think it should work.

I like this article because it's very relevant to every reader assuming they have internet. The author has included one picture with a funny caption. It's a broad topic and the author goes through opinions, points, facts, and ideas in a logical manner. No matter what the idea is it still leads back to the main idea. Great example of the engines tip.

I want to write something more humorous yet still have a purpose like this one. It's talking about a serious problem but with a light connotation. The author states his opinion clearly and backs it up with facts and logic.

This article talks about a very unique issue, reverse parking. In my article I want to write about something that hasn't been talked about a lot, or is just plain bizarre. One thing that bugs me a lot is when things become cliche', drives me nuts.

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/johncassidy/2010/01/interview-with-eugene-fama.html

This interview has a short intro paragraph giving the reader context to what they were talking about and the rest is setup with his questions italicized and her answers in normal text. He ends with a funny line. The interview itself is interesting enough to fill the piece, but the paragraph style answer and question makes it read more like a story.

This actually reads more like an interview but in the beginning they mention some of colbert's achievements and information about him. And it ends with a question about the future. The Author also has pictures to related topics they're talking about in the piece.

Blog Two

What have you read lately (say, since last semester), that you found interesting?

I mostly read things science-related. New findings, and things for brandon's bio engineering team.

Why did it catch your attention?

Science is what I enjoy the most, what interests me the most, and is what I am best at. I also want a position in the bio pharmaceutical industry as a possible career path.
