Kaity Drahos replied to Phil Schroeder's discussion In Loving Memory of Mr. Green"I remember walking into treble choir.. first day of freshman year, let's just say I was terrified. I looked around and didn't really know anybody that well. But Mr. Green insisted that I would meet people in there that would be my best…"
Phil Schroeder replied to Phil Schroeder's discussion A Dragon and a Rider in the group Read a Good Book Lately?"I'm still searching for a date of release, AND a title for the fourth book. But if you go to Barnes and Nobles and pick up Brisingr, you'll notice there are a few differences depending on which copy you pick up.
The regular editions have…"
Duncan Brown replied to Phil Schroeder's discussion In Loving Memory of Mr. Green"My favorite memory of mister green is my freshman year when he sang I'm my own grandpa. He always had that great sense of humor that made class with him really fun."
Phil Schroeder commented on Gary Anderson's group Read a Good Book Lately?"Don't make fun of me, but my girlfriend dragged me to go see Dear John. Her favorite book ever in theatres. I saw it and I loved it, I thought it was super awesome (plus Amanda Seyfried is purty cute). but my girlfriend didn't like it...…"
Phil Schroeder replied to Phil Schroeder's discussion A Dragon and a Rider in the group Read a Good Book Lately?"Book 4! I'm super excited for it to come out. I've been doing some research on the release date with no prevail. So I'm hoping before school gets out to run to Border's or Barnes and Nobles and see if I can find date there.…"
Phil Schroeder commented on Sara Isaacs's blog post End of the Year Craziness!"The weather gets nice and everyone goes nuts. There's only a couple of days left in school and people in particular are losing their minds!"
Phil Schroeder commented on Matt Sievert's blog post Will racism ever go away?"As long as people are different their will be predjudice. My small group leader said that someone told him that if everyone were exactly the same, same hair, same teeth, same everything, we would all find something different to make fun of people."
Phil Schroeder replied to Gary Anderson's discussion William Faulkner: The Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech"It's scary because it does still pertain to us today. During the Cold War we were worried about Russia. Now any country with any military power has a nuclear weapon. Any day now we could all die."
Phil Schroeder commented on Gary Anderson's video
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock: "The Star-Spangled Banner" 1969
"I don't know how I feel about it. It starts off fine, but then its not cool. I guess I like his artistic flavor, but I hate it at games when people disrespect the National Anthem. Its not the right thing to do as an American citizen."
Phil Schroeder commented on John Miller's blog post The cycle of greed"People tend to be doing well, and they out do themselves. For example, purchasing a house they know they can't ever afford. In the end, the only thing that comes out of it is both parties (homeowner and banks) loosing."
Phil Schroeder replied to Justyna Chlopecka's discussion American Studies T-shirt ideas"Are the t-shirts actually happening, or is this just a fun little what-if game? honestly I would love an American Studies 7 & 8 hour t-shirt."
Phil Schroeder replied to Gary Anderson's discussion I Thought of American Studies Today When ..."I thought of American Studies when I'm on the road with people and we drive past different style houses and I can say "Oh that house is a federal, or that's a salt box style house." Lame, I know."
Phil Schroeder commented on Kevin Gosiewski's blog post The Media...Can't Live With Them, Can't Live Without Them"Kevin I wrote a blog very similar to this and I agree. They need to back off. If your going to tell the news, tell the news, I really don't care who wore the best dress to the Oscars."
Phil Schroeder commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"No I totally agree Liz. I feel like we need to be more aware of what's going on in our world, locally and internationally. What happens when we're not in American Studies everyday? How we will be able to make decisions for ourselves and…"
Phil Schroeder commented on Matt Benson's blog post So, what about the Gulf?"Hey there is a new plan that is being considered. I'm dead serious when I say this: They're thinking of dropping a nuke into the middle of it all. Obviously it would be "contained" but apparently they got the idea from Russia.…"
Connor McWard commented on Phil Schroeder's blog post The Simple Music"That second video was crazy! He was playing the whole band almost by himself. Very cool blog Phil."
Emily Fujii commented on Phil Schroeder's blog post The Simple Music"I really love when bands do acoustic versions of their album songs. I think that the acoustic sound makes the music sound different and you can really hear how the singer's voice sounds. I would most of the time always rather hear an acoustic…"

Mari Saunes commented on Phil Schroeder's blog post The Simple Music"I like acoustic music and music with actual instruments way better than techno and dance and all that stuff, because people actually had to put more of their soul and thoughts into the song, and that makes it more personal, i think."
Profile Information
- Favorite thing about American Studies
- My favorite thing about American Studies at Willaim Fremd High School would be Mr. Anderson and Mr. McCusker. I really like both their styles of teaching, and how they, together as a team, connect what we learn in history, to what we learn in english.

The Simple Music
I really don't care for heavy metal or techno or a lot of modern electronic music. I feel it takes away from the magic and art of making music. Arguably one of the greatest contributions to the world, past and modern, would be the acoustic guitar and variations on it like a sitar or other string instruments.
How can such a simple instrument, have such an impact on the world?
Well buckle up and enjoy the…

Back Off and Let People live their lives.
Sorry this one is a wee bit late, but better late than never right?
Ok so I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way, but I personally feel that media is abusing freedom of the press. I'm mainly talking about most magazines dealing with pop culture or shows such as TMZ. These institutions, I feel are taking what Roosevelt called for, that being "muckrakers," and taking their "muckraking" a little too far. Muckrakers were…

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
