Blog Post Reflection

This week I learned about the steps of making a movie and I found a really good site that had all the steps. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Movie This site showed me a lot of steps I didn't know about.

My first interest post

This post is about what inspired me to pick making a movie as my project for this semester. What inspired me to make a movie is because I want to make a movie that you want to watch more than once that people enjoy. That's the reason I want to make a movie

My second interest post

"Diana Nyad: Never, ever give up" This link shows a video that really inspired me. The speaker Diana Nyad talks about never giving up no matter what. This video really shows that even if you think you failed really it was its own victory and you should never give up,

The History of Doctor Assisted Suicide

Doctor assisted suicide goes back to the 5th century in ancient Greece and Rome before Christianity and was tolerated until the 12th century when Christianity with its view that human life is a trust from God. Doctor assisted suicide was viewed as wrong till the 17th century when writers challenged the authority of the church with regard to ethical matters, though there was no real wide spread interest during the time. An important milestone in the euthanasia debate was the isolation of morphine in the nineteenth century and its widespread use as an analgesic. In the early hours of 12 November 1915, at Chicago's German-American Hospital, Anna Bollinger gave birth to her fourth child, a seven-pound baby boy...the baby was blue and badly deformed. The head surgeon Harry J. Haiselden, advised against surgery and let the baby die. Those were a few of the first incidents that made people realize doctor assisted suicide was something that should be considered as an option for people. My information came from http://euthanasia.procon.org/view.timeline.php?timelineID=000022

My Novel Response

Recently I have been reading "In the woods"by Robin Stevenson and I'm supposed to write a post saying if the teenager in the book was believable.I think Cameron ,the main character, is believable because his reactions to the problems in the book seem like something a teenager would do.For instances in the end of the book he says that he wants to be apart of his sisters babies life even if she gets adopted and he only sends birthday cards once a year. I think that him wanting to be apart of the babies life even if it's only a small part is what  a lot of teenagers would do myself included.So I think that the teenager in this story is believable.
