CRR #7

This meme supports the theme "Leaders are not always a good example" because Mr.Summers doesn't totally follow the Lottery but is still the leader of the whole thing. Mr.Summers controls the Lottery but is trying to persuade people to change the Black Spot.  "Summers began talking about a new box...".He even says "Lets get the last part over with" when stoning Tessie in the story. He isn't the best example when wanting to continue a tradition. When continuing a tradition you want a leader who is willing to do it and be enthusiastic about it.

Favorite Movie of All Time Blog #5 (SRR)

          My favorite movie of all time has to be Stand by Me by Rob Riener. This movie is about a group of friends who go on a journey to find a dead body by some railroad tracks. Some bullies go to the tracks too, in a car to try to make big money. This movie is great because it is a great funny and adventurous, were lots of name calling and funny stories are told. There’s even a part were all of boys get in a little pond and get leeches all over them.

        My favorite part is when one of the boys tells a story about a really big guy who sabotages a pie eating contest by starting a barf party. While this is going there is two twin boys that barf on their mom at the same time! Stand by Me is full of great events just like this!

 This movie is full of adventure. They leave their homes most of them don't even tell their parents and go. On their way they stop and climb a fence to a junk yard. That junk yard is guarded by a dog that knows a really bad and painful command. After that they go to the woods and while everyone is sleeping one boy watches the others with a pistol just in case. Eventually they cross a huge bridge were one of the boys drops his comb! Then while they walk the bridge a train comes so they sprint and it's super awesome. Once they end up finding the body the bullies arrive, and one of the boys shoots next to a bully to scare them away and then the boys head home. Odd enough the parents that weren't told they were leaving didn't even notice

In conclusion Stand by Me is my favorite movie because it's funny and adventures. If you want to watch the movie the link to Netflix is here:https://www.netflix.com/us/

Should fans be so Attached to thier teams? Blog #3 (SSTR)

Should Fans be so Attached to Their Teams? Blog #3 (SSTR)

First of all I believe that there is such a point as to when fans are too attached. Like if there is rioting or any physical harm. But if an actor denies a movie deal for wearing a hat, just leave him alone that is his own choice. I personally wouldn’t wear any of my rival team’s hats!

About denying the movie deal, Ben Affleck turned down a movie deal because the director wanted him to wear a Yankees hat, but he refused because he is a Red Sox fan. Here is the link for the article: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/red-sox-fan-ben-affleck-refused-wear-yankees-hat-girl-article-1.1961699. Affleck said “…I will not wear a Yankees hat.’’ But the funny thing is that he and the director compromised; now Affleck has to wear a NY Mets hat. If I was him I wouldn’t wear a Mets hat either to be honest.

            I am a fan of Lakers, Angels, and Packers fan I would not wear any of their rivals hats at all. I think most fans are harmless but then you get though dumb fans who like to be too crazy and get themselves in trouble. Me I am a fan who lives with their loses or bad events that happen to my teams and do a little smack talk along the way ( just as most sport fans would do anyway).            Now being a ban wagon is totally different, it is pretty much saying that you only like the team because they win and that is not being a fan! 

These are fans being normal.

 In conclusion I think that Ben Affleck’s compromise was not really helpful to the fan aspect of it but oh well. Also don’t be afraid to go to a concert or sport event because overly crazy fans get sent out of the stadium.
