Reflective Writing Extra Credit

The magazine segment project was a fun learning experience. I enjoyed creating the graphic box the best. The only thing that did not come out the way I wanted was the broadcast script because I did not have access to Garagband or iMovie, so all I could do was post it on my blog. The actual writing of the review took a lot longer than I thought because I kept adding and taking away parts that I did not like. I also reviewed many different restaurant reviews before I completed my own. In the end however I wish that I could have added something about the restaurant's drinks which I forgot in my review. I also thought that writing the broadcast script would be easier but in the end it was more difficult than I thought; because I had to take out a lot that I wanted to add on in my script, because it could only be 60 seconds.

If I could do the project over again I would try to be a lot more organized, especially with my broadcast script. However, I did feel that I did a good job writing the review. The part that I enjoyed the least was the 60 second broadcast script because I wish that I could have been able to put it on Utube and was able to post it on my blog. The thing that I had most difficulty with was trying to access iMovie and Garageband,especially since I was not able to get into the classroom, because I am taking the online class. I would definitely change that about the class because sometimes it made it difficult to fully participate in the projects,when not having access to iMovie and Garageband. Overall I felt that I definitely got a better perspective of a journalists work, and I really enjoyed the class. My major however is Public Relations and I am content with it, but I did feel that this journalism class was able to help my writing skills and that will surely be able to help me in the Public Relations field.

Life Parole:Too harsh for Juvenilles?

Is a fifteen-year-old old enough to be tried as an adult? "Today, inmates in 39 states and a federal prison are serving life without parole for crimes they committed as youngsters. Five states — Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Michigan, Florida and California — account for two-thirds of the cases documented by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International." Many teenagers committed crimes as teens now as adults understand and admit to their horrible mistakes.

There are some cases where people do believe that a teen should be locked up for life, but in some cases it is not seen that way. An example of a man who at sixteen- years-old began hurling pop bottle firebombs at an old house not knowing that three innocent children where in the house and all died. The young sixteen-year-old teen was sentenced to life in prison. He is now in his thirties and regrets that day of life knowing that he could never take back what he did. Many believe that some juveniles should not have to live a life in prison, because many did change as they have become adults. The question is a very difficult one which gives mixed feelings. The question now would be who to spare and gets life in prison?
