Sat, 09 May 2015 23:27:48 -0400 a https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=339096 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=339096 I was just relating it to what I know about McDonalds and to current day awareness on how unhealthy it is. Sat, 09 May 2015 23:21:25 -0400 yeah https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=338939 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=338939 I agree however in my opinion McDoanlds is one of the worst. Even their own employee website advised employees to not eat there. http://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-tells-employees-to-avoid-fast-food-2013-12 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:47:03 -0500 unhealthy https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=338934 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=338934 things like 2 much sodium, gmo, and beef not even being 100% beef have gotten people to not eat this garbage. I myself havent touched a mcdonalds in 5 years. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:47:05 -0500 loss https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=338931 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30608?scroll_to=338931 That is why mcdonalds is closing locations throughout the US. People are finally catching on to how unhealthy mcdonalds is. According to a Bloomberg article McDonald’s Corp., the world’s largest restaurant chain, said third-quarter profit fell 30 percent as U.S. sales slumped for the fourth straight quarter. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:47:03 -0500 "reality show" https://nowcomment.com/documents/30607?scroll_to=338238 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30607?scroll_to=338238 It is similar to "reality" shows. Most of these are scripted and nothing close to reality yet people are willing to get fooled by the shows as if it is reality but it's far from it. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:47:01 -0500 tartuffe https://nowcomment.com/documents/30607?scroll_to=338237 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30607?scroll_to=338237 This reminds me of the character Tartuffe in the play. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:47:01 -0500 agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/30607?scroll_to=338236 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30607?scroll_to=338236 I would agree that once you know it's going to be fake, the interest somewhat decreases. It's like watching "reenactments." Although the scenario might be based on a true event, the fake re-enactments makes it less impactful. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:47:00 -0500 career https://nowcomment.com/documents/30606?scroll_to=337194 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30606?scroll_to=337194 The first three paragraphs show the diversity in her film career. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:59 -0500 as in https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=326354 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=326354 I meant loose as in you don't have to follow a particular narrative. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:45 -0500 . https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323420 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323420 This is true. You can be more laid back in some places while in New York City you have to be more alert and aggressive at times. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:39 -0500 Comparison https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323419 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323419 this paragraph shows his reflection of his home city while in London and depicts how different people act in both cities. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:39 -0500 Yes https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323418 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323418 Yes I don't think most people spend time editing, making rough drafts, spell checking and doing all the things you would in an actual memoir, autobiography or narrative piece. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:38 -0500 What makes it like a diary https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323417 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25283?scroll_to=323417 What makes this a diary is the way the events are listed. You also include dates to document when they took place. It is different than narrative writing because you can be more loose with your writing. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:45 -0500 I agree. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30603?scroll_to=323416 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30603?scroll_to=323416 I agree 100%. As I mentioned above, music provides a temporary distraction or break from reality. Despite the war, people are still going about everyday life and music can provide positive reinforcement. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:43 -0500 Music provides a temporary distraction from war. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30603?scroll_to=323415 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30603?scroll_to=323415 Music in wartime in necessary. It is a good distraction from the real harshness of war for both the soldiers fighting as well as the ones at home waiting. In 10 minutes and 45 seconds, the scene shows the children are dancing and there is music playing as the woman is looking at the photograph of the soldier who is most likely off at war. As a veteran myself, music provided a "way out" of the situation even if just for a few minutes. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:42 -0500 This is such very great guideline to follow. I see myself breaking at least half these rules. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314075 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314075 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:18 -0500 Sheesh. I've been working on a book for 2 years. Procrastination is my worst enemy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314074 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314074 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:19 -0500 One of the main things teachers or professors have said was to reread, edit and revise your work. Even reading your writing aloud so you can hear it gives a better understanding of how it would sound to others when they read it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314073 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314073 Listening to your words instead of reading it in your head gives you a better sense of how others will understand your writing. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:18 -0500 I agree. I find that it is easier to write about my own topic and subject because I am writing a story I choose to write, as opposed to one I am forced to write. So "write to yourself" makes more sense to me. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314072 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30612?scroll_to=314072 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:18 -0500 To reiterate my point that the reason Ebert focused on the struggle with the seal to start his review was because it was the main action to keep Nanook and his people alive. We see that he died of starvation when he got lost in a storm. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314071 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314071 This most likely led to him not being able to find seals to hunt. It also shows the circle of life as this paragraph speaks of his 4 month old child (new life) and the death of Nanook. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:43 -0500 I see this as one of the main focus points of the documentary. Ebert starts out the review by talking about the scene where he is hunting the seal. And the hunting of seals is probably the factor in the survival of the Nanook. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314070 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314070 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:16 -0500 I think it is because the hunting of the seal is the most important thing that is helping them survive, as the seal provides "food, fuel, clothing, tools" as stated in paragraph 7. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314069 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314069 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:16 -0500 I agree. Even though Professor says movies have always been a business, I still see it to be less so then than now. https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314068 https://nowcomment.com/documents/30240?scroll_to=314068 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:16 -0500
