Katie Hughes commented on Gary Anderson's group Read a Good Book Lately?"I just finished reading The Vanishing of Katherina Linden, and it was so good. It was a mystery but it was set in Germany so I was able to learn about the culture.

Katie Hughes commented on Gary Anderson's photo
Dorothea Lange: "Migrant Mother" (1936)
"This picture is so iconic and moving, every time I see it I get something new out of it. I love the story behind this picture as well, it really defines the era and from the worry lines and the ratty clothes to the unwashed hair of the children."

The Grapes of Wrath (1940) - I'll Be There
"I liked this movie a lot and found this speech to be very inspirational and very fitting of the events in that era. It really made the movie awesome."
Katie Hughes commented on Patrick Norman's blog post False Sense of Security?"I dont mind the ID's but I think that they're not necessary.

Katie Hughes commented on Keely Ward's blog post Midwest disasters"I agree with Lauren saying that we're pretty safe here, but to go through that kind of disaster is completely mind boggling to me. To think that families are ruined and memories gone forever is just so sad."
Katie Hughes commented on Jack Andersen's blog post Weddings...Always Serious?"I was a little shocked by the lack of emotion for the royal wedding but that's how it's been for centuries so I can understand. But I believe wedding should be a joyous affair, and the bride and groom should be required to smile."
Katie Hughes commented on Ashlyn Jensen's blog post The Terminator Terminates His Marriage and Possibly Career???"I dont think that there is any excuse for cheating, if you are driven to the point that you believe you will then do the right thing and seperate or try and work things out. I believe that Maria should not take him back, he embarrased her publicly…"
Katie Hughes commented on Kaity Drahos's blog post Foreign Language: High School or Elementary School?"I definitely believe that language should be started as soon as possible.

Katie Hughes commented on Darby Douglas's blog post The Significance of Tan Skin...What is it?"I think we have been conditioned to believe that tan skin is sexy and desirable.

The Royal Wedding...History, or Frivolous Affair?
There has been a ton of buzz leading up to the Royal Wedding, some just wanted to see Kate's dress others believed it was an important part of history. Personally I was excited to see the wedding, but because I believe it is a part of history for our generation, we won't ever see a wedding of that caliber for the rest of our lives, and I would at least be able to say to my kids that I watched Will and Kate become married. Another reason I believe that people were anxious for the wedding was…

You can be an individual! But don't become too different...
Today's society is very individualistic, advertising for clothing, electronics and even Subway, where you can have it your way, speak to our generation that being an individual is good, and that you should want what nobody else should have. But with everyone is trying to achieve individuality, they are becoming the same person. What happens when someone is actually true to themselves and goes against what is popular in mainstream culture?…

Censorship in School: Who is it Really Protecting?
A lot of teenagers these days feel like they are already adults; we have jobs, responsiblities around the house, and we have hopes of higher education. One of the places that supports the development of students is school; but at what cost? Since schools have been created they have monitored what books we read, what clothes we wear, and what goes in our school newspapers. I understand that some things are just plain inappropriate, but we're not children anymore and part of school is to expand… Continue

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
