Prison Break Obsession and summary

One of the first shows I watched on Netflix when I bought a subscription was Prison Break. The show came out in 2005 and only lasted until 2009. It was my favorite show throughout high school and I have watched it all the way through about 4 total times. My obsession comes from the main fact that it was filmed here in Joliet at the old prison right off of Collins street. The t.v. show is very thrilling and has an interesting story-line that makes you question your own government and how they run operations. Even though it is fiction, this hit t.v. series shows a great deal of compassion, love, and dedication to love and family. The show is about how Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), was framed against the United States secret service for committing a crime he did not commit for the purpose of revenge and cover-up. Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), Lincoln's brother, sets out on a mastermind plan to break his brother out of Fox River State Penitentiary (Old Joliet Prison) in a way that is sophisticated enough to make them dissappear forever. Througout the season you watch their struggles and successes as the brothers battle for innocence against the governement. Will they escape the grasp of the sercret service and dissapear from the vice president's eyes? Watch the show to find out.

Dear Dr. Kyburz, I just want to thank you for a fantastic year both first semester and second semester. This class has made me thoroughly enjoy writing so much more than I ever have. You have introduced many different new techniques of finding research, summarizing articles and documentaries, using narrative glue, and especially rhetorically analyzing. With using the concept of writing early and revising often helped me earn the grade I desired. I look forward to using the skills that I have developed the past two semesters for my future classes and later in life. Thank you Dr. Kyburz for everything!! This is my presentation video that depicts how progress has affected me throughout the year. I posted this with my e-Portfolio because I was not sure if I would get the opportunity to present this to my classmates.  This image signifies process . Throughout the last two semesters I feel like I have made lots of progess with the projects I created. The project's goa

Documentary Reflection Questions

1)    One scene that got to me was when Tom Seeberg, the father of Lizzy Seeberg, shared the terrible news of how she took her own life. Lizzie was assaulted and raped by a football player at Notre Dame. She filed a complaint report to the University the next morning, but they never attempted to locate him for questioning. The school claimed they simply “could not locate the individual. Only to know that he was a starting football player for the team, so they knew exactly where he was. Tom explains how no one from the University attempted to help her or investigate her case, which inadvertently led to her suicide. This boils my blood. I was in awe watching this scene. I felt anger and sever empathy for Tom. Watching how political and corrupt college campuses are for protecting student athletes because of money over students’ lives is just extremely unacceptable. If this were to occur in the Middle Ages, perpetrators would be hung in the middle of a town for everyone to see. 2)

Three years left

Is this it? This year has absolutely flown past. The amount of experiences that I have experienced this year is enormous. It is extremely hard to believe that I will be able to go through this extraordinary year three more times. Until me, my friends are dumped out into the real world. It can be vey scary. At least when I deeply think about how soon graduation will be coming. However, I have learned so much this year. It feels like that I have learned more things this year, than my whole career in high school. Of course I began studying something I am so passionate about which is the main reason, but there's something unique that I love about college that points my excitement for what's next to come.
