BielerSatires

I thought that this satire was really ironic because it talked about this school where the animals only had to be average, but the eel, who was abnormal, was better than all of them. This school tested four main things: running, climbing, swimming, and flying. The animals that were really good at one thing and not so good in others had to practice that other thing until they got it right. Most of the time this ended in the animals developing problems which caused them to be unable to do the activities they were once good at. I believe that this is true in life because I think that schools are starting to push kids so hard in certain academics that they are forgetting to do other things that can benefit them as well. I think this is becoming very common in our society today and this fable depicted it very well in humor.

I thought that this article was pretty accurate of what technology is becoming. I would believe if this really was the future and they didn't even have the same things we have now. Looking back on my own education, things like blackboards were always used and now teachers barely use them. Something like a blackboard is replaced with white boards or even Smart boards now. I am sure as the years go on there will be even more changes as well. As the generations go on, I am sure that there are going to be many things that younger generations will have no idea what they are. Things we used in schools will be a distant memory and I think that it is very sad how much technology can change a society.

I thought that this commercial was funny because it is making fun of every college commercial that is out there trying to promote themselves. I find this funny because I remember trying to pick the college that I wanted and I think that sometimes the ads on the tv can actually make someone decide that they don't want that school. If something is advertised so much and makes it look really good, I think that sometimes people can actually change their views of it because they decide they don't want that. I thought that this commercial did a good job of giving a different side to college besides the side they only show you in the commercials.
