So since I have already taken your class, I have already written a paper with this prompt. The last time I wrote for this prompt I am pretty sure that I did my paper on Lord of the Rings versus World of Warcraft. Obviously, this was an awesome paper. I want something equally as awesome this time around. I am thinking about using the fact that the world is going to end in 2012 to my advantage. I am going to find some awesome articles or something of the sort that is telling me that the world is indeed going to end in 2012. This is going to be a great paper in my opinion. I dont really think that the world is going to end in 2012 but I love the fact that there are people that really do believe this. I fully believe in exploiting people inappropriately who believe bogus things. or at least things that i think are bogus. I am not sure of the specific nature of the media I am going to use as representatives of the idea of the world ending. Personally, I think it would be great if I could use a blog entry from someone who is saying how scared they are. Or, maybe I'll use some type of essay explaining exactly what is going to happen to the world. I want the tone of my paper to be shear terror. This may be wrong or whatever but I think this is a fantastic idea. And I guess thats all that matters.

Facebook

Im not really sure if there is even a significant amount of people in college and high school now a days who still don’t have a facebook. I think facebook is a little annoying but that is only because I now have something to do instead of my homework. It definitely makes things harder when you are trying to get your work done. I can spout out some shit that it helps keep people in touch and stuff but that is not the primary reason people use it in mu opinion. I think teenagers are so nosy and self-conscious that they need to support of their peers to feel good about themselves. What I mean is girls make sure to put their very best pictures up on facebook so other people can see how pretty they are and comment on it. People also use facebook to see what other people have been doing without them. I think that this is a big deal because everyone wants to be doing things that make them look cool. Frequently, you see pictures of alcohol, drugs, or scarcity of clothing. This is all because people want other people to notice them and give them approval. They think that if something is sort of taboo then it is cool and they will look cool doing it. I guess I am not different. I like facebook. I am 19. I really think that they go together like peanut butter and jelly.
