Extending the Conversation

Mr. Dunn must think that we are geniuses, because he a gave us a very difficult task.  We are to respond to the comments of our classmates responses on another classmates blog.

 Response to  Morgans, who responded to Callie's


How would you deal with the pain of losing a family member If I lost a family member, I would be very upset and probably be in a stage of not knowing what to do anymore. Eventually, I would start to accept the fact and move on. It isn't easy losing a loved one, but sometime, you just have to let go and go on with your life. It would be tough, but we have to realize they're in a better place. To deal with the pain, I'd think about all of the good times we had together and then start to move on because there is nothing I could do anymore to make them be with us still.
 My response
I agree with Morgans Response.  If I lost a family member, I also be very upset and I would be devastated as well.  I would probably feel lost for awhile, and wouldn't know what to do.  But like Morgan, I would eventually get over the pain, and be able to accept what happened to that person, and know that she is in a better place.  I have lost two of my grandparents, and I know how losing someone feels, it sucks, but after awhile you start to accept it.
Response to Mckenna's, who responded on Ben's, who Responded on Emily's

"When they talked about how kids used their parents to get to go to McDonald's, do you ever remember doing that to your own parents?"
Ben responded:
Yes i do. I would always ask to go to McDonalds because of the Playplace. And then inevitably i would say "im hungry" and we would get food. And thats how McDonald's makes their money.

Makenna's response. :

Ben, it's funny you say that, because I know kids our age that go to McDonald's just for the play land... STILL. It's kind of ridiculous, but yes, that's how that corporation makes their money. I was never one of those kids who cared for the play land, but I absolutely loved McDonald's food when I was younger, and I still do!! I remember pitching fits and having my sisters join in on it just so we can get a small fry from the McDonald's drive through. I think that all kids have attempted this scheme at least once in their lives!
 My response
I remember asking my parents to go to McDonald's just like Ben and Mckenna did.  I loved the play land, and always getting a toy with my happy meal.  When my parents ask if I was hungry, the first thing that popped into my mind was McDonald's.  But I think that McDonald's plays a role, in kids wanting to go their.  I mean they get a toy, and are able to play in the play land, and plus the food taste good.  So I think that McDonald's persuades the kids, and the kids persuade their parents.
Response to Emily's, who responded on Mykel's
What kind of affect does fast food have on your everyday life?
Emily response:There are so many ways that fast food plays into your everyday life.  Whether it is sitting at home watching T.V or driving through town going by all of the restaurants.  There have been many times that I have wanted to stop by and grab a bit to eat at one of the fast food places since their food and drinks are so cheep.  I try and stop myself by realizing how bad it is for you.  It is also very convenient  if you are in a hurry and are needing some food just to pull into one of the many restaurants along the side of the road. So yes fast food does effect me everyday, and I know that it effects many other people in the same ways it effects me.
 My Response
I understand, that fast food has many effects on the people who eat it.  Most of these effects are negative.  It obviously is very bad for someone to eat.  I also think that it effects the person eating it, by making them more tired.  I don't know if it is just me, but every time that I eat fast food, I feel tired afterwords.  I understand what Emily is saying, that it is fast, and cheap, and might save you a few bucks in the long run, but overall, I agree with Emily, when she says that it is bad for you. I think if you have it once a month or so, it won't be to bad though, just not all the time.

Response to Jay, who Responded on Jasons
Jason asked, "Do you enjoy high school?"
Jay responded, "I do enjoy high school for the most part. I believe this is one of the better high schools, because we are allowed to have some say in what we want to learn about and that makes it a much more enjoyable experience. Friends also help make the high school years that much better because the friends you make here help shape who you become and how the time her goes. But on the other side sometimes stress can get to you and it can come from anywhere such as over zealous parent, school work, peers, teachers, and even the sometimes overwhelming idea of the future." 



My response 
I agree with Jay, when she is saying, that we have one of the better highschools.  In our school, it seems to me, that a lot of the teachers really care about their students, and want them to do good in school.  Also a lot of the people in our school, are very nice.  I remember, when i moved here to years ago, and everyone was so nice to me, and i almost felt like I have always been there.  I think that our school is overall, a very good school.  I mean they give us lots of homework, bu thats typical for a school.  So yes, to answer the question, "Do I enjoy School", then I would have to anwser that question with a yes.
