In the article “The Changing Face of America” by Haya El Nasser, she uses Rip Van Winkle who falls asleep and wakes up twenty years later to see a drastically changed world. She talks about how if this character was to wake up again, “he would have missed a stunning American revolution – a demographic one” (117). “Change is happening fast” (119), she states in one of her paragraphs. I do agree with Nasser, we are facing change really fast. One main change that caught my attention was marriage. El
Since the beginning of broadcast journalism, there has been one person credited with revolutionizing the field. This was Edward R. Murrow, also known as Mr. Television. Murrow set the highest standard for the reporting of news on radio and television. He broadcast stories that other journalists of the time would not even touch for fear of blacklisting.

An event in my life that taught me an important lesson was to not draw inappropriate things accordingly to the school policy. It was back in the third grade. The sun was so bright. The chirping birds in the tree. I figured it was time to wake up for school. Elementary it was. I do my usual thing, take a shower, brush my teeth, and dress up. While I was taking a shower, I reminisced the time my third grade teacher talked about the school policy. I ignored my cognizance and continued scrubbing
“’ [W]here would Edmund be nowadays? Sitting in a pneumatic chair, with his arm around a girl’s waist, sucking away at his sex-hormone chewing-gum and looking at the feelies. The gods are just. No doubt. But their code of law is dictated, in the last resort, by the people who organize society; Providence takes its cue from me.’ ‘Are you sure?’ asked the Savage. ‘Are you quite sure that the Edmund in that pneumatic chair hasn’t been just as heavily punished as the Edmund who’s wounded and bleeding
the camera follows, and pans around the city just like a person stepping out and staring at every detail, similar to how a viewer would if he/she were warped into the film. Then the camera pans over to what Theo is doing rather than cutting to his face, again simulating how a person would react.

Then, slowly but surely, with years of seeming evolution guiding him, he begins moving, changing his position, pushing buttons, then the final blissful moment…he turned the key and the car actually STARTED!! In that singular moment, an addiction is formed for most men. Contrary to popular belief, it has little to do with thinking it impresses
