EccentricK!

The art show is one of the biggest events happening in Mary Ward every year. It is time when all of our artists show their skills and talents through their work of art. All the effort and hard work students put in throughout the year have paid off, because it shows in the art show.

Like every year, the art show this year was amazing. The moment I walked into the art show I was really amazed of all the great pieces of art made by the students. The entire basement was transformed! I could not believe how they were able to do that, the amount of work needed to do that is really astonishing. I really liked the movies made by the grade eleven and twelves. I really enjoyed their movies and I thought they were very creative. There were many wonderful pieces of art this year.

Excuse Me While I Answer My Phone

If I were to ask someone ten years ago what a cellphone was used for, he or she would say it is a very convenient way to communicate with other people around the world. If I were to ask someone today what a cellphone was used for, he or she would say it is very convenient way to communicate with other people around the world, listen to music, take pictures and videos, surf the internet, play games, and many more. And it is for these reasons why people are so close to their cellphones. For many people, cellphones are a part of their everyday lives because they are so useful and convenient. However, we need to keep in mind our manners when using cellphones. One time I was using my cellphone in school to call my mom and tell her to pick me up at school and the vice principal saw me using my cell phone and she came over and told me that I should not be using my cellphone at school and that she will confiscate it next time she sees me using it. I was kind of mad that she would not let me use my cellphone to call my mom during lunch, but I guess that was an improper was of using my cellphone. There should be time and place for using cellphones.

5 rules that I think are necessary to follow when using cell phones:

1. Put your cellphone on silent or turn it off when going to places like in the movies, church, restaurants, school, etc.

2. Do not use your phone while driving, it will put your life and other people's lives in danger.

3. Be polite and excuse yourself when you need to use your cellphone.

4. Do not use your cellphone while in class.

5. Do not talk so loud when using your cellphone because it might bother other people.

"Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy"

I do agree with Louis C.K about his views on technology. Despite all the technology around us, we are still not satisfied. Technology advances at such a fast rate to keep up with our never ending demands. Every year there are constantly new inventions being made by people to make human life faster and easier. Whenever technology fails us, like when our iPod is not working properly or when our computer lags, we get disappointed or angry that it is not working properly not keeping in mind that these things were not even invented during our parents time.

One day, I was researching on Global Warming on the internet for my history essay and my dad said that during his time, they had to go to the library and read all these books to do their research. It would take them hours just to get the information they needed, but now, we have this thing called "google" and BOOM... research done. I do not agree completely with Louis C.K because I myself, however, am happy with all the technology around me. I am satisfied with the advances made by technology and I am very happy about it.
