RE: Gaming Gone Wild


3.2.1. start!

Video games have been a part of children's lives for generations. People grow up with gameboys, xbox's, playstations, etc. and it's amazing to see how many people use and play video games.

It's always cool to have the latest video games that are out but I really don't see why it's so addicting. Personally, I do have a video game system but i got it when I was 9. Ever since then I never bought a video game. It seemed really pointless and a waste of money. Sure it's fun and all but I definitely could live a life without video games.

Video games are not always bad. It definitely is fun to play video games. The colour, the graphics, the characters, all together help make the game interesting. What's best is playing with your friends. Video games is a great way to have fun and connect with others online. It helps you develop tactics and strategy to solve these puzzles in the game.

Video games to me is fun at times but I wouldn't waste the money for it. Video games can distract you at times and when it affects your school work, you know its time to lay it off. Some people love it some people hate it but video games will always be a part of a teenager's life.

RE: The Campaign Trail


It was intelligent of Obama to take a well known commercial and use it as his own. He kept the same concept and script but he added things that relate to America and its problems to help show how much change they need change.

The first commercial was very humorous, and showed the guys having fun. It seemed perfect, no problems no issues just hanging out having a Bud. "WASSUP!"
"WASSUP!" "WASSUP!"

The commercial Obama made was still sort of humorous but at the same time it brought out a deep message. The guys this time weren't hanging out having a Bud, this time they all each had a problem that America could relate to. Problems included: Unemployment, health care, the war in Iraq, stock's decreasing and environmental issues.

Obama's message explained that America itself needed change. They have so many issues and problems and by voting for him, he could help them. He took a really funny and popular commercial and made it his own by showing America its problems. That's why Obama is the president.

Yes We Can!
