I just made an image chef picture for my blog. I really like this program. It was one of the most user friendly program I have used. They give you so many options on pictures to use. Also they give you many different kinds of fonts to use. This is very helpful because you can really make it your own thing. Its all about how you want to customize it.
I thought that my picture was very unique. I used the quote, “Can you slit my throat?” I used this because it kind of told the story by its self. I think it tells the story because Tyler isn’t very happy and this quote shows it because he told the paramedic to kill him. I used the tear drop as my picture because I think it represents sadness. In twisted Tyler is very sad. I used a grey background to tell that his life is just kind of boring. I think my picture really represents the book twisted.
In chapter 21 of Twisted, Tyler talked about how they had a “clothing optional” day. This is a day where a lot of starring goes on around the school. It’s a really awkward day for everyone in my opinion. I just think that people always dress appropriate. I think it’s nasty the way some people dress. If it’s boys sagging, girls there cleavage, or even a little more inappropriate parts of the body. Lets just be honest some stuff you shouldn’t show in public ever!
I experience instances like this everyday. I see people who do get written up or really should for the way they dress. Honestly I think if u want to get noticed for dressing like that people won’t notice you at all because it’s just trashy. People who dress normal seem to get noticed more because they are normal. When people dress like this it usually ends up resulting into sexual harassment just because people who have those types of minds will do what they want to do with these girls. Did you know sexual harassment is against the law? Most of the time it is ignored because nobody thinks it will make out to anything. Well it does because if they can get them past sexual harassment then most of the time they get raped.
Do you think high schools should stress more on dress code and sexual harassment?

On Tuesday of this week, Josh Gunderson came and spoke to us about social networking and also things like sexting, and how you can avoid them. What he said was very interesting. He made it so there was a lot of humor because he is a comedian, but also got us to listen about the topic. He was telling us about how he has experienced with cyber bullying and what we can do to stay away from it. Everything he said was helpful to know me and I also think everyone in the freshman class. He gave us many examples of kids just like us that have got bullied and killed their selves. This really made me think about the topic because kids just like me are getting bullied to the point where they feel they should commit suicide. The stuff that some of the bullies do is just horrible, such as bully people over who they date, or how they dress, stuff that doesn’t even concern them. These bullies are essentially the ones that are killing these normal human beings who were just trying to enjoy life and be themselves.
What Josh talked about is goes with what we are reading in are book Twisted. Twisted is about a boy named Tyler who is having trouble with a lot of things. His problems are at home and school. At home his father isn’t very happy with anything that he does. He goes to his community service, goes home plays on the computer until three a.m. then goes to sleep and wakes up at five and starts over. In the first part of the book they go to Tyler’s dad’s bosses how for a business party and causes and accident at the party and Tyler’s family are very unhappy with him. At school Tyler has been bullied since fifth grade. It’s fair to say Tyler doesn’t really enjoy life right now. Just like what Josh talked about how bullying someone can ruin their life. That’s why I enjoyed his presentation because we are reading a book that is basically everything he talked about.
