Opening Activity-9/7

1. What is the role of the reporter's seques in this story?
The seques helped lead the story from point to point. They gave us information about Shaynna that we didn't know from just the interviews. It was kind of the backround information and then they helped with the twist too.

2. Why do you think she did not include a stand-up in the story?
They interviews and the plot of the story were so significant that a stand up really wasn't needed. They story was so intense and it really pulled on your heart strings so maybe the stand up would've taken away from that.

3. What is the biggest surprise in the story?
That threw all of the trauma her body endured, there was a baby in her body and then baby survived.

4. How does the story end with hope?
The baby boy was alive and doing well, she talks about how he is her number one miracle.

Opening Activity-10/5

The death of Steve Jobs is such a misfortune for modern culture because Steve Jobs was co founder of Apple. Without him, the advancement of technology would not be how it is today. The iPad the iPod, all these were essentially created by this man. It makes me wonder what and how the world will continue to develop and evolve technologically without him. I feel like with the advancements he was provided our society, no other could take the roll of. This man was a genius and it is so sad that he had to pass at the age of only 56 while the world was at a technological peak.
