This advirtisment shows that BMW`s are attractive.
It shows this claim by diverting attention from the woman by placing an image of a BMW on top of her face.

Project #1 review draft I believe
I have always been taught to pray in particular situations, if I had a need, or just to give thanks, I never really knew the meaning of this however until I had an indirect experience relating to prayer. I was still at a very tender age, when my beliefs were shaped by this life changing event.
While she was yet a little girl, my sister had various traumatic, life threatening experiences with epilepsy. She would suffer sudden attacks that would trigger abnormal activities in certain parts of the brain. She would literally have a fit where she would sometimes fall suddenly; her muscle would tighten and relax which caused her to jerk rhythmically. She would foam at the mouth and would then be left in an unconscious state. This would last for several minutes and was very alarming to my family and I; we hardly knew how to handle this type of situation when it arose. It became very stressful for my parents, because neither they nor the doctors could give a solution to the problem.
The attacks went on for quite some time before she was finally referred to a clinic. The doctors there offered to give her a particular type of medication that might have helped, but warned that it was accompanied by serious side effects, some of which seemed to pose even more life threatening problems than the actual illness. This was not exactly music to a mother in despair, and even though it might have seemed that this was our only hope, my mother knew that there must have been some other resolution to this situation.
Disappointed and confused my family decided to seek God the only one they were confident would give a solution to the problem. After leaving the clinic, my mother took my sister to our church where the members there gathered around her to pray. Their prayers indicated strongly that they knew for sure that a miracle was on its way, and even though still a child I could sense that feeling too. After leaving the church that night it was neither necessary for my sister to return to the doctors or for her to take the medication, amazingly God had wrought a life changing miracle, it was almost unbelievable. Still presently, in her early stage of womanhood, no trace of illness can be found.
This event has helped shaped my belief forever, I now believe in the power of prayer. Prayer is now an important part of my life. Whenever I struggle with a problem or get entangled in a particular situation, I pray. I pray to give thanks and I pray without having a particular motive in mind. This keeps me in a more serene mood and state of mind. When things around me seem to crumble, I find myself in a state of peace on my knees or quietly bowing my head, because by doing this I know that many mountains can be removed. I believe in the power of prayer.

journal entry #6 Absence makes the heart grow fonder
a belief that our society holds today is that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" but does absence really make the heart grow fonder?
This question was posed to a few people, while some agreed that absence make the heart grow fonder, some only agreed to a certain extent. They think that this is only true in some cases, while being away from someone might make you grow fonder of that person, it may also cause problems; as with a marriage relationship. Absence from a partner in some cases might be seen as freedom to do whatever one wishes, while in another case it might cause that partner to long for comfort thus pushing them to be unfaithful.
so does absence really make the heart grow fonder? mmmm........think about it

In the news # 5
That was so unfortunate how the pitbulls just burst in the home and attacked and killed the four month old baby. I do think the officers did what they thought necessary. If the dogs pose such a threat then something has to be done to protect peoples lives.
I do think that this is sort of a different case with the pitbulls vs human punishment. If the dogs show such violence and they pose a threat to other people then what is necessary should be done. In the case of humans, they should also suffer severe punishment for killing an innocent pet but not as severe as killing them, in my oppinion that is just way too severe. This is a type of difficult case to address.

Journal entry #5
1. Syfers describes a wife duty as:
taking care of the kids,
keeping track of appointments,
arranging to lose time off the job while not loosing the job,
attending to physical needs
cleaning the house
picking up after spouse and children
Cooking the meal
Ironing clothes, keeping it mended, or replacing it when needed
one who goes grocery shopping, serves pleasantly and cleans up while studying
one who is sensitive to sexual needs and one who is sexually faithful
Some of the duties described in the writing are still done today to some extent. It differs within varous families and cultures. In some families most of the duties described here is still performed by the wives today, while within other families you might see fewer of these duties performed. So I think it differs within cultures. I would say the husband and wife relationship has changed somewhat within the past 37 years. From what I have been told, the wife`s role was a bit inferior to that of the husband`s, the husband was in authority, although it is still the case today but I guess it was more like a dictatorship type role back then.
2. I liked syfers writing style actually, she doesnt spell out everything, she leaves it up to the reader to figure out exactly what she is talking about, or the big idea behind her writing. One thing I would`nt have done is make the whole entire essay a list of the duties of the wife, other than that I really did like it.

in the news #4 Social Networking
This is a very interesting article and it has much truth to it. These social networking sites have become apart of most of our lives. They are extremly addictive and a bit harmful. Harmful in that, people spend most of their time browsing these sites and forget some of the most important aspects of their lives. Just recently I had to delete my account on both myspace and hi5, and before that, tagged. It seemed ridiculous that most of my time was spent sitting around the computer browsing these sites and important things that should have been done like my home work were delayed. These sites are very addictive because of the different applications that accompany them as well as the many pictures of friends that everyone is just so eager to see. I think thats the main reason why people go on these sites, to see their friends pictures and show theirs as well. This might just be a phase, I dont know, but whether or not the fact still remains that these sites are addictive, harmful and of little importance.
