How Come None of the Saints of English 105 are Women?

This is the first time that I actually read everyone’s posts word for word. Normally, I have to be honest; I just skim them a bit. It took me a long time to read them all too, I think I’ll go back to skimming. But now to what I found out. Are you ready for this? Are you sure? You might be surprised. The faint of heart should stop reading now. This is my last warning. You think you can handle this? OK, cue dramatic drum roll please… It turns out, we’re all different! Who knew? Why would 18 people have completely different views on where they get news? Ha ha, views and news rhyme, views and news views and news. It’s one in the morning, in case you couldn't tell.

Anyway, everyone is different. We get our news from different combinations of the following; people (consisting of friends, family, parents, boyfriends who watch comedies, and grandmothers who watch CBS), television (lots of CNN, Fox, and a PBS), radio (both fun stations and NPR), magazines, actual newspapers, and that wonderful thing, the internet (Google, Huffington Post, New York Times, and even facebook) See I really did read everyone’s post. I might have let one or two slip the cracks though, like I said, lots of variation.

Lots of these sources showed up in a lot of people’s blogs (I thought about tallying up how often things showed up but then again it’s one in the morning and that would involve more work, at one in the morning, wait it’s actually closer to two in the morning now. Basically it didn’t happen.) Even though some people got their news from similar sources, they still seemed different. I can’t explain this right now very well, (I want to sleep) so I’m going to finish this in the morning.

Much better now. So what I mean is that every one ad different confidence levels on their news intake. Some people were perfectly fine with the amount of news they were getting, while others didn’t feel as self-assured. Some people said that they were glad that the unit would force them to get more news. No one actually said they were unhappy about the topic of the unit, but that isn’t something one would actually put up so I’m sure one of us feels that way.

Now, to what those three would say about our posts. We should give them nicknames, like the English 105 Tribunal or something. Wait that doesn’t work, we need to include Harris. How come Harris wasn’t in the prompt? Do we not care what he thinks? Maybe we could refer to them as the Saints of English 105, used to attain guidance in our quest of knowledge regarding civic literacy.

Hedges: His who thing is that we aren’t getting news, but obviously we are, so he would probably find something else to complain about. Like that we’re spending t much time inside attaining news that we’re not getting our vitamin D requirement.

Carr: Without actually making a strong point, he would look at our habits at different angles, and see how he can twist the fact t make it look like we’re turning into robots. (Although he has his work cut out for him because, as I said before, all our habits are different and show our individuality.)

Sullivan: I’m not sure about him. He would definitely look at everything analytically, but I’m not sure what he would say. Although it will probably be more positive then Hedges or Carr.

(I know the title has nothing to do with my post, it’s just a thought I’m throwing out there)
