"I watched Amelie again the other day. It's such a good movie! I like it because is really different compared to typical movies. Everything about it it's weird and funny! Great movie :)"

Maia Kirch commented on Gary Anderson's photo
Dorothea Lange: "Migrant Mother" (1936)
"I like this picture a lot. Her face is simply amazing. You can tell how worried she is, but she doesn't look like she will be giving up. After all, her children need her. It's really sad."
Maia Kirch commented on Sara Isaacs's blog post End of the Year Craziness!"This part of the year is definitely the hardest for me. I'm already thinking of what I'll do once school is over, but I still need to go through two more weeks! It's really really hard to focus on this time of the year, but it's…"
Maia Kirch commented on Paige Daigle's blog post FOOD: What's going on?"Those pictures tell more than a thousand words! I mean, seriously, no one can be hungry enough to eat that hamburger without suffering. I think americans eat a loot. Every time I go to some restaurant I need to ask for half of the entree, because i…"
Maia Kirch commented on Chris Bizjack's blog post Prom, Overrated or Underrated"Haha! I agree with Erika. If you are a Junior, I think is ridiculous to spend soo much money for just one night! My friend spent like 200 dollars for her dress, and then you need to add the cost of hair, and make up, and manicure and pedicure, even…"
Maia Kirch commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"I watch the news in the morning, although I barely pay attention to it because I'm to sleepy at that time, but I still manage to understand a bit. What surprises me about the news of this country is that they barely show any important news of…"
Maia Kirch commented on Mari Saunes's photo
Auschwitz I & II
"Wow! This is like almost the same picture that Mr. Palmer showed us on the power point yesterday. The picture and the background look so pretty, it's really sad to think that they used such a place to do such terrible things."
Maia Kirch commented on Kim Odom's blog post BP Oil Spill: DO SOMETHING!"This is so terrible! I don't know why it took so long for the Bp people to actually start doing something about it. Enough marine mammals, fishes, birds, and plants were affected already. It's terrible to think that a pelican can end up…"
Maia Kirch commented on Katy Christensen's blog post The Art of Teaching"The way teachers teach is something extremely important. I used to be the worst, and I mean the worst math student ever because I was stuck with the same math teacher for two years. When I moved and I finally got a new teacher, math became a 1000…"
Jaimie Groot commented on Maia Kirch's blog post A Blog About Old Movies"I think that the movie really portrayed what life was like back then in the dust bowl. I think that the older movies have better messages than the idiotic movies of our day. There are some amazing old time movies that I think are way better than the…"
Maia Kirch commented on Stephanie Dubinski's blog post Senior Year: Here We Come!"I'm ready to finish junior year, that's for sure. I'm really excited about becoming a senior, but I'm still a little scared about college. It's gonna be so different... But I'm probably making it sound even harder than…"
Danielle Elaine commented on Maia Kirch's blog post A Blog About Old Movies"I definately agree with what you said about the definition of the movie. I was suprised too. I didn't like the movie, personally, but I thought the clearity of the movie was amazing. Especially for that time."
Maia Kirch posted a blog postA Blog About Old Movies
It would be obvious to say that movies really changed along the years, but what surprises me is how much they changed and improved in not that much time. I had never thoughtof this until we saw The Grapes of Wrath in American Studies. I gotsurprised by how good the quality of the movie was. It had thecondition of any movie that we can watch today just without thecolor. Did you guys notice? I mean, I thought that all black andwhite movies were hard to watch because they were blurry and hadreally…See More

Maia Kirch commented on Corinne Chapman's blog post Inappropriate for 7 year-olds?"Those girls are clearly great dancers, but the routine is a little too much. I think the clothes make it even worst. I don't think the girls were influenced by media, they are too young, but the choreographer... I really don't know what to…"
Maia Kirch replied to Gary Anderson's discussion ART DECO & MODERN ARCHITECTURE"I also like art deco, but I think sometimes it gets too simple for me. For example, the picture of Mies van der Rohe in his house... I don't know, i thought it was basically empty! There was nothing in it! I don't think it would be too…"

A Blog About The Blog
When I first got the assignment to create a blog entry for ning, I thought: “OK, I can do this. It shouldn't be too hard”. Well, it wasn't as easy I had expected. Actually, it was a lot harder than what I expected! I tried to come up with different and unique things to write about since the blog was assigned, but I couldn't think of anything that wasn't too obvious or too ridiculous. By the time I thought a good idea, there was already a blog entry on that subject. And this kept… 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 :)"
Bridget Babcock left a comment for Adam Babcock"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

The Civil War in 4 Minutes!
"This amazing video has been removed from Youtube, but--at least temporarily--you can find it here."
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
