What if there was no television?

If television was defunct from the modern day world, I cannot imagine what life would be like today. First of all, there would be no actors/actresses, favorite shows, network stations such as CBS, etc. People would have more active lives and would find themselves with much more of an active life. Although some people may feel the absence of television would improve people's lives, the spread of news would flow at a much slower pace. Americans would never be able to grasp current events or be able to watch important figures such as Barrack Obama with his eloquent political speeches. Television may be a time consumer for many, but it is a beneficial resource to society.

If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be and why?

If I were an animal, I would be a falcon because they are the fastest species of bird in the world. Apart from the speed of the animal, I also believe it would be extremely fascinating to have the power of flight. Falcon's are not close to becoming a defunct species, and in fact they are incredible predators due to their sense of smell, sight, etc. A falcon is the animal I would want to become because it flies at over 200 mph and makes a magnificent predator.

What would you do with $100,000?

If I had $100,000 and could not spend it on myself, I would divide the money equally among my family members: mom, dad, and two brothers. Each of them would receive $25,000, a significant increase in each of their wealth. I am a partisan of family before friends, and in this case I also believe that type of gift should be given to the people who you are closest with.

Me & Dylan's Ideas For Tiger Woods Story

The introduction of our E! True Hollywood Story is the general story of Tiger's affair, the list of girls he has cheated with, background behind Tiger's relationship with those woman, etc. Next, we will bring up the effect of his actions, such as Elin's response to her husband's actions, Tiger's hurt image and legacy, Tiger speaking out, interviews of fellow golfers, and Tiger taking a break from golf to sort-out his life. Dylan and I have a creative idea of creating a video production movie of us interview people on behalf of the scandal: friends, teachers, students, etc. Ideas of questions we have for the interviews go as follows:

What is your knowledge on the Tiger Woods incident?

What are your feelings towards the scandal?

What do you think Tiger's punishment should be, or should he receive one?

Do you think Tiger obtains the mental strength to bounce back into golfing?

Will this large scandal harm his legacy?

Ask a girl: If you were Elin, what actions would you take against your husband?

Ask several people: As a fan, have you lost respect for Tiger Woods?

This scandal not only harms Tiger's golfing and family life, but the impact he had among his fans and America overall is very negative.

If you and your friends rented a limo for 24 hours, where would you go? What would you do?

If me and my friends rented a limo for 24 hours, we would travel all around NYC, traveling through Times Square, Manhattan etc. New York City is a capacious city to fit a couple of high school kids looking to have fun. Examples of things I would do in the city would be visiting Madison Square Garden, eating from Dylan's Candy Bar, walking through Central Park, or stopping by the Empire State building. There is a variety of activities to do in NYC, which is why it serves as a great place to rent a limo and drive anywhere.

Pearl's Father

I believe the Pearl's father is Dimmesdale because whenever he is around Hester and her child, he is constantly nervous. When the four men come to approach Hester and Pearl, Dimmesdale is the only one who defended them and persuaded the other men to not separate the two people. A colossal hint of Dimmesdale's relation to Pearl is when Pearl put his hand upon her cheek; Pearl usually rejects many people, but is very accepting of the minister. The irony of the situation is that the minister is the fellow sinner, which could create a huge outrage in the community. Also, Hester is most likely so defensive on the identity of the father because if the secret were to become known it would be a huge deal.
