Moth Radio Response

Personally i think the story was entertaining but way too much racism and biased opinions
and in terms of the general conversation tones, noah recieves more respect verbally than cleveland since the officers are basically harassing him and seem to have a biased mindset to be pulling over a black man and a white kid, and having an impulsive tone with cleveland and a sympathetic tone with noah , the only comparison between the two would be the way they respond to the officers since both noah and cleveland are generally calm but until the officers make them angry then they adopt the agressive verbal tone ; and a very BIG stereotype mentioned was the "Black Rapist" one since they generally thought he could've been a child molestor or a sexual predator because of his race and the similarities between african-americans and commiting crimes.

"Manditory" Entry

It Was NOT right for george to shoot lennie because it wasn't lennie's fault for killing curley's wife; its a rare but sad disability he had and for george to go through with curley's wishes to kill him and it  seems too Cold & heartless.

Some Good Benifits About Lennie (Reasons To Live) Were

He was a hardworking and trustworthy and semi-reliable person and
mostly was an open outgoing person who loved animals and having a physical approach with things (Hands-On)

And Another reason for lennie to actually be left in society and live was because he was like any oter person ; he had hopes and dreams to "Live Off The Fat Of The Land" & have a  personal home with george and candy but his running buddy george was left to carry out their planned desires.

but overall his death was unexpected and it was mainly a tragedy to see someone who loved having friends and wildlife die a gruesome and cold-blooded death.

Blog Post 6

Article 1 : "Google Cars Drive Themselves, in Traffic"
Article 2 : "Every Finger Tells a Story"
Article 3 : "A Head Full of His Dreams"
 Part : I

1.) “In Belgium, hats are not a fetish,”  - Article 3

        “We wanted to be able to link nail art with fashion. You wear a different handbag and it changes your look. Now you’ve got the opportunity to match the outfit with your nails. It’s not just painting the nails. It’s completing the look.” - Article 2


2.)About 2-3 People were interviewed in the "every finger tells a story" since some women were saying it "made their friends jealous" and in the "head full of his dreams" article about 3-4 people were interviewed due to comments of the custom hats being a "flop"



3.) The article "A Head full of dreams" is about a small shop in belgium selling new and awkward hats and many poeple inerviewed claimed that the hats were weird and that there wasnt exactly a hat fetiash going on in belgium.

 The Other Article "Every Finger Tells A Story" is about manicures and how the way you've treated your fingers tells alot about you it takers place in london with nail salon owners craving the new "minx - topcoat" for nails to make better profit but it is considered more valuable considered to the regular hot cream manicure

As The 2010 "Of Mice & Men Remake" Film I Would Specifically redo george and replace him with one of our newer actors for example 50 cent or will smith because they seem more funny and attached to a specific role and definetly a different setting for example maybe i would put this setting in a  urban farm in maryland and for lennie i would use someone extremely funny & stupid actor like "Kat Williams" because as a professional comedian i think he knows how to act "Mentally-Challenged"  And For Very Colorful ( Interesting ) characters like curley's wife i would pick Kim Kardashian Because of her people skills and because she is a very attractive  person in and out of movies. and for curley i would pick Martin Lawrence Because of his good acting skills and because hes used to getting severly injured in movies and making it funny. and for slim i would pick Justin Timberlake Because hes a good actor and he can take the "Secondary Boss" role out in movies and he is obviously liked by the public and to be in an epic and twisting movie like this it is good for him

What i like about mice and men right now is the theme , since theres some fights and a little bit of female entertainment but overall the storyline is fine at least things are heating up between the ranch workers and curly, now what i dislike about the story is  that even with a big advantage lenny cant even think properly to perform self defense and he almost lost  a fight with curly , another thing i dont like is that they dont exactly portray curley's wife in the form she should be because she seems like a "Tart"/ firtatious woman but the storyline is holding back and it can't be proven, and i also hate that the characters have too much hatred in them because they don't like candy's dog and they end up killing it. so basically the story needs to be a little less brutal but overall more entertaining.

What i "Like" about school is that thers alot of varying classes (especially in high school) and you always get chances to make new friends or start off fresh, now What i "DISLIKE" about school is that theres too many stupid irresponsible jerks and too many boring teachers, theres only a small amount of cool and fun ones , and administration here doesn't exactly do a good job and the dicipline policy ..........is basically completely out of order, an example would be if you have a "Relationship" in  any school the punishment for showing it is too severe , Detention/suspension For "Public Display Of Affection" we shouold have the right to have relationships with whoever we want and excercise them whenever we want. And If i were to create my own school i would make some major changes compared to MCPS for example Higher But Cooler security and more open rules like open lunch, and freedom of speech (within school grounds) and maybe even become technologically advanced and we get rid of paper and every student gets a school issued laptop or iPad. And Compared To Some Of My Classmates Ideas I Could Come To A Conclusion that most of us think alike and want lower rules and more freedom when in  school.

Carlson decides to shoot candy's dog but candy thinks thats too mean beacause he should have been the one to shoot the dog , and i personally side with candy but also i  think that it is inhumane to kill a dog weather or not it is in a state of physical disrepair but also its bad because that can emotionally hurt a person when their own pet is slaughtered by a "stranger" as stated by candy in the book & movie.also i think that candy wont exactly be immediate friends with a new pup if he gets one from slim.
