Alondra commented on the post, San Miguel de Allende Plaza
Dear Nico your poem was absolutely well written. I really liked the diction you used as such as music, plaza, love, and more because it brings imagery into the reader’s heads. As I read your poem I felt like I was Mexico in the pueblo of San Miguel. I like how you said colorful and bright as Mexico is a country of very vibrant and beautiful people.

Alondra commented on the post, Body positivity
Dear Melody, your poem is beautiful and I really enjoyed reading it. We should normalize that everybody is acceptable and beautiful for both men and women. Everyone should be able to have confidence in their own skin. I like the way you express your own thoughts and feelings through poetry. if your struggling with any insecurity know that you are…Read More

Alondra commented on the post, Lord of the Flies: The Realities of Having Power
Dear Emmanuel, I enjoyed reading your analysis of Ralph’s character development. Yes indeed his leadership skills were not the best fit but as the young teens and children did not have any supervision they turned to Ralph because he carried himself and had the physique of a leader. Although his choices were sometimes not reasonable the children…Read More

Hello Alondra,
I do find it quite absurd that China is returning to normalcy, despite being the origin of a virus that has ravaged the rest of the world. While I do think China isn’t telling the full story, it’s important to understand that many Chinese people wear masks and were able o go into lockdowns due to the fact that the people have very little rights, liberties, and freedoms. Research conducted by Michigan State University(My home state) actually found out that in-person classes don’t hurt the community.

Dear Ian,
I was really excited when I saw your post because I also enjoy reading Rick Riordan’s books. I just want to say that you are completely right about Percyś Jackson character change. He goes from being a troubled kid which wasn’t his fault to then becoming one of the most acknowledged demigods at the only age of 12. He proves himself…Read More -

Dear Alondra,
I agree with your post “Your Hair, Your Right?” because hair is natural, I mean we’re born with it for a reason. What they did to the boy is unjustified because he did nothing wrong. They should have just let him put it up, but they really had him cut his hair or he had to forfeit which is absurd. I feel like there shouldn’t be such a rule in wrestling because it’s not like the hair will give you the advantage to win. I’ve also seen a story in the news where a little girl got in trouble by her teacher because her braids were a distraction to the class for standing out. In general like you said no one should be placed in a position such as the young man because of their hair. Hair is a natural thing that should be accepted by society even if someone’s hair is different from yours. Thank you for writing Alondra. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I really enjoyed how well written your post was.

Dear Alondra,
I am intrigued to your post and i agree that there should be paid sick days because you mentioned, ”Paid sick days are a benefit that companies of all sizes use to attract the best employees.” In these moments is when we need to get paid for sick days because we are having a difficult times and were not use to this situation.
Sincerely Rosa

Alondra commented on the post, Should Marijuana be Legalized?
Dear PArker I agree with this exact standpoint Marijuana should be legalized and it should be legal to those of 21 years of age, just like alcohol and cigarettes. This topic is very interesting and difficult to digest for the older more traditional generations but Marijuana has no really deadly impact such as cigarettes or alcohol. Those need…Read More

I really liked this article. I think in today’s world this topic is very relevant and you did a good job picking a relevant topic Alondra. There were two things I specifically liked. The first was the example of the Russian immigrant and her child. This shows how fake photos or “phony photos” as you said could be taken in the wrong context and used in completely wrong ways. The second thing that I like was the part about social media. In our day and age, social media is such a big part of our culture. In fact it is so big that you find more people on it that those who are not. I think it is very important understanding the real and fake. You did a good job mentioning how social media has become a place where fake photos can spread. I think the example of the Kardashians you talked about in the end really exposes that.

I think this is a really interesting topic. I think so many young people go on social media’s such as Instagram or Twitter and see all these fake photos. It sets unrealistic wants for young people. I think it creates self-esteem issues and low confidence issues. I feel that if people are going to post pictures that are photo shopped so drastically that they should tell us because it can be detrimental to people who so badly want to look like these fake people.

I really enjoyed reading this article. I think it is so easy for famous people or anyone to lie to others on social media. Many children look up to these adults, and want to be just like them. It is definitely hard for children to be like these adults when they are posting lies on the internet. I feel like if many people didn’t photoshop themselves, then many children today wouldn’t have such bad body confidence issues.

Alondra,
I really liked reading about this topic. It really is way too easy for misinformation to be spread on the internet. That being said, how can we make sure we aren’t reading into that misinformation? I would be curious to know what I can do to quickly fact check what I am reading. I’m not exactly jumping to research every image I come across on the internet, and I would imagine others feel the same, but if there were to be some way for people not to be mislead that would be a really interesting story to tell. You could zone in on source establishment and credibility or any bias that sources may have. There are, of course, unlimited factors in this, but you could try picking a few and doing some more research.
Best of luck,
Audrey

Dear Inez,
I just want to say of how very creative your writing is . Your writing can be based of how when you run you imagine zombies chasing you or also interpreted such as you run your course of life never knowing how it will end. The phrase that stood out to me was when you said ” Life is a gamble I think to myself on the way down. We all die…Read More -

Alondra commented on the post, Is Music Good or Bad While You Study?
Dear Carter,
I really liked your article and it caught my attention because I also can’t decide whether music is wise choice for when your studying. Sometimes music helps but other times it distracts me and makes me feel even more anxious. One sentence that really stood out to me is “ There has been studied at Cambridge University that says tha…Read More -

Dear Medina,
I am very intrigued about your writing because it talks about the issues that happen because of climate change. The line that was brought to my attention was ¨In a future affected by climate change,Expect drier autumn and springs,scientists say¨ because it talks about climate change. How it can have consequences such as the f…Read More -

Dear Jessica,
I would like to say that I also agree that love is so beautiful and a powerful feeling in our lives. You can experience love with a lover, friend, family, or animal.

Alondra,
This inauguration was definitely one to remember. The mention of former President Donald Trump not attending was very interesting, I’d say he showed his belief that he “actually won” through this act. I feel like part of that decision also stems from the riots at the capital a few weeks prior. I like how you turned the discussion around by mentioning Biden’s plans in his first 100 days in office with the Covid Vaccine. I would like to see how Biden tackles other issues during this time. https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-01-21/the-agenda-for-bidens-first-100-days-takes-shape Great Job!
