Columnist

I read the column See the hit, save the brain game plan at cautious UC by Krista Ramsey. This article is about people getting concussions. Then what people can do and are doing ( mostly at UC) to stop the overflowing numbers of concussions."The answer wasn't new helmets, new tackling techniques or even new coaching. At its simplest, it's about players seeing what's about to hit them.". This was one of the best lines that was written in the column. The effect that it had on the reader is that it shows you don't need all of this multi million dollar equipment to help people get less injuries in the sports that they are playing. They need to play better and see what is about to hit them. Also the way that it is written is very well it doesn't give your super long explanation how and why they need to fix it it just gets straight to the point and makes it fairly simple  to understand. 

     I also like how she built the line up with all these drastic measures like changing the coaching getting new helmets. Or Maybe even more equipment than that. Or even having to learn a new tackling technique . She just puts it as simple as players needing to know what's coming at them. She also does not insult anyone like she didn't call out a specific college or pro team for spending millions or for changing the coaches or tacking technique. She just states the mistakes bluntly and moves on with the article. Krista has a very good writing style that  can get the reader engaged into the story no matter what part in the writing it is in. From the concussion article the beginning grabs your attention "NFL players sustained 152 concussions during this year's regular season, including 11 for the two Super Bowl teams. The league itself is still staggering under the weight of a proposed $765 million concussion lawsuit settlement, which a judge says is probably inadequate to cover the projected 20,000 former players affected.".

Then in the Super Bowl QB's article about dressing nice."
Whatever magnificent things Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson do on the field Sunday at the Super Bowl, some of us appreciate what the two quarterbacks have done off the field all year. That is, helping to bring back the art of dressing well.". In the article about Kids Vision this quote could grab a parents attention instantaneously."
You see it all the time. Your teenager at the dinner table, waiting for his checkup at the orthodontist’s office, sauntering to his car – continually hunched over his smart phone or iPad.
You can’t help but worry what all that screen time is doing to his posture, social skills and grades.
But more and more experts are wondering what it’s doing to kids’ vision.". The way that she grabs the attention in the beginning is very good it gets the reader with these telegraphic sentences.

3 questions that I would ask is where are you getting all this inspiration to write about these certain things? When did you start to realize that you wanted to work for The Enquirer? How is your writing style so unique.

Technology

The book Fahrenheit 451 has a lot if questions that we need to ask ourself  while  reading the book. One of the main questions. To ask if we are  becoming Montags society. With the technology that we have today I say that maybe we aren't that far from it . Now I'm not saying that there is going to be all out war. But people today and there phones the obsession with them is kind if crazy.People become zombies when they are in there phones they just walks around texting or playing game on there phone oblivious to everything around them. It's kind if like how Mildred was addicted to to the parlor walls. It shows that how people say that is crazy I will never get addicted to a Tv show like that but they are already in that process with there phones. People can already see the dangers with phones texting and driving is a major one and people still keep on doing it. Soon enough we will be letting all these cool technological advancements in society pass that really  are hurting society. Not all "advancements" are good for society.

you have to take a step back and realize are you becoming that person.
Because if you are you probably should change what you are doing and actually look at the round yellow thing in the sky called the sun. People become very antisocial with the society that we are livng in today. Some just soend the whole weekend inside playing videogames or watching TV. Even thoguh Breaking Bad is an amazing show you have to take a break sooner or later and actually go outside and play with friends.
