1. http://www.montanakaimin.com/index.php/articles/article/lundquist_climate_change_should_have_a_bearing_on_more_than_judges_ruling/991

This article was about a judge, Molloy, who made an oil and gas company temporary shut down because of their old technology was effecting the environment and causing health issues. Their leaks and spews get into our environment. Most companies now are using better technology for our environment. Some people are going against Molloy's decision saying he's an environmentalist, he's only putting the company on hold until they get reviews and get their company cleaned up.

There's has been developing of more modern equipment that is better for the land and air pollution, why shouldn't all the companies have to use it? They don't want to because it's more expensive. The biggest reason why Molloy made the decision is because of our climate change, which the government will back him up on.

I think Molloy is making a very good decision, after all it's not like he totally closed the company all they need is reviews and some clean up and they're good to go. I care about our environment and if it helps then they should respect that.

This article was about a 22 year old male who seems to resent "Mtv" spring break. As an 11 year old he seemed to fantasize about this type of event, but now has a different outlook. He thinks Mtv just puts out this stereotype that all spring breaks are just partying and girls in bakinis. Making it clear all he wants is to sleep sleep sleep. Mexico is the last place he would want to be, because of all the drug wars.

I think this male seems really angry, maybe because he never really got to experience his "Mtc" spring break? What's wrong with having a little fun?

This article is about someone who just really doesn't like spring, and made it clear for anyone not to force it on her. She doesn't get excited when there's that first hot day of spring! Not wanting to hop on a bike or wear her sandles because the weather can be so unpredictable, and get all rainy, then get really muddy. Encouraging others to enjoy the sunshine, but she won't be out their and really doesn't want to be pushed into it. The winter, snow, or rain doesn't bother her at all, and just would like everyone to know she'll be joining everyone in the summer.

I think this girl is crazy! The first nice day after winter brightens my mood and really makes me want to be outside.

  1. Couple things:

    1. Your post needs a title.
    2. It's easy and wise to turn those into hyperlinks. You need to write out some text, like the name of the article, highlight it, then press the little icon for links and paste the URL in. Part of this class is about learning how to use media to convey messages, so this isn't just about me being nitpicky.
    3. Please be more precise/careful about punctuating sentences. The first summary in particular is a little sketchy. Please come see me if you want specific lessons on this, it's hard to address here.
    4. That spring break article - it was by a man? That's interesting! I thought it was a woman. I don't know if that changes things for me or what, but it's true it's a little cranky, isn't it?
    5. The spring one is even more cranky! I agree that this girl is crazy. :)
