Maddie commented on the post, The Impact of Imprisonment at Sixteen
This is very well written and inspiring. I agree that something needs to be done about this issue- teens are too young to face some of the charges that adults do. I do think that teens are old enough to face consequences of their actions, but for this to be true, we need a fair and just system- not one that judges on account of race. We should be…Read More

Maddie commented on the post, Safety Pins
I definitely agree with you, in that in order for things to change, we need to actually make that change happen. I do think that the safety pin idea is a good start and a good representation of what we want to change, but we do need to stand up and make change. Great writing and ideas!

The overall American diet, has shifted into what is fastest, cheapest, and most often what is unhealthiest. Many convenient foods lead to diets that are low in nutrition and high in calories, fat, and sugar. We

Recently in photography class, we were assigned a project that was photographing 3 photos of toys to tell a story. I took photos of 3 dolls that I have. In these photos we tried to have a depth of field (blurry

For and assignment, we had to photograph an important person. I took portraits of our school’s biology teacher, Mr. Hentschel. In these photos, I used a softbox light, and a small aperture, as you can see by the s

Dear Maddie,
I really like this photo. I love how you were able to make Mr. Hentschel the main focus of the piece. Many times when one is trying to focus on just the person that does not always happen. What ends up happening is the background and people in the photo are pulled together, they ends up not being the true focus. Great photo! -
Dear Maddie,
I am happy about your post, “Important People”, because it was informing. I learned a lot. This is cool. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is,”For and assignment, we had to photograph an important person.” I think this is smart because you’re smart. Smart people have smart ideas. Another sentence that I liked was, “In these photos, I used a softbox light, and a small aperture, as you can see by the shallow depth of field (blurry background).” This stood out for me because it gives detail. Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I read an article. I liked it. It was about people and pictures. It was cool. It was smart. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because you’re a good writer. I would like to see more post about your teachers. You’re a good writer. Good luck.

Hello Maddie,
I find you article very interesting about Phil Borges. His style of photography is very interesting. It seems very unique and impressive art style. It is impressive the extend at which you can take photography so well and use cameras to create these interesting effects with the background and foreground.

Maddie commented on the post, Research Reflective Essay
This is a great post and very interesting. I like that you talk about how to make the sport safer, not just not playing the sport. I do think it is important to know the dangers of playing the sport, but it is also important to also know how to stay safe.

Maddie commented on the post, Continued Research: Using the Arts in Schools
This is very well written and I admire your dedication to this subject. I think that having art in school, or at least offering it, is very important to students. I think that it is a great creative outlet and can be very beneficial to students as art can be incorporated in many careers.

Great job! I thinks this is a topic that many people don’t think about, so thank you for writing about it. Have you heard of any ways that people are trying to clean the ocean or stop plastic from entering it?

Maddie commented on the post, Presidential Election Reactions
I was also completely surprised, and disappointed, by the election results. I think that many people in the country are scared right now, and are unsure as to what the future holds. But I agree that we will have to wait and see what he delivers on.

Maddie commented on the post, Becoming Beautiful
This is a very interesting and well written post. I agree that beauty standards can be, and many times are, harmful for people. I think that as a society we need to stop saying “this is what you should be” and really focus on saying, “be yourself and embrace what you have”. I think that many if not all of us know what it is like to live up to an…Read More

Maddie commented on the post, My thoughts on Political Correctness
You are correct- political correctness is a big issue in today’s society. But it should be. People SHOULD be careful of what they say in order not to offend others. As many other people have commented, a big part of this issue is that people don’t and won’t understand what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes. In order for you to make a strong…Read More

Maddie commented on the post, Problems with romantic relationships in schools
I think that this is an interesting topic that I haven’t considered before. I understand why you argue that relationships can be unnecessary in middle/high school, and maybe we don’t need to focus on them now as we have our whole lives to do that. However, I do think that there can be some major benefits of talking about relationships while in…Read More

Maddie commented on the post, Feminism and my thoughts about it
Feminism is not women “complaining about really foolish topics”. Feminism is people (men and women) realizing that sexism and inequities exist and cannot be ignored. There is real inequality for women in this country and around the world. Feminists are not hated by most and are not “jokes” as you put it; some feminists have made real contributions…Read More

I think that you make a great point in that I don’t think people know who they are truly voting for in a person like Trump. I think many of the things Trump says aren’t taken seriously- but this is a major problem
