Blog on song "No easy way out".

The song "There is no easy way out" by Robert Tepper is a a song that is famous rock and roll song. It is used in the one the rocky films and that's how I found it. I don't consider it one of my favorite songs. I like rap and hip hop, ,and R&B music but I've heard this song, and if you listen to the words I think the message actually does mean something. Rocky is about to fight one of the biggest fight in his life. I forget who it is but I know it was one of his toughest fights yet. He is very nervous while preparing for the fight and it is pretty obvious. But while rocky is driving in his car and he think about ever thing this song comes on. I believe it comes on because he is nervous and probably doesn't wanna fight this guy. The song I think means you can't be nervous, and you shouldn't back down. You shouldn't be scared of the situation if you are already in it. That's why the name of the song is "There's no easy way out", and there wasn't it was a tough fight but rocky still had to fight. To me I Kind liked this song because every song has a message (most of them) and I felt like this one was strong. When you are in a situation yeah you could be nervous or scared but never back down. The message sort of can relate to face your fears and overcome them also. And most people don't face there fears and they run away from them but they shouldn't because the end result wont be good and if you never face your fears one day, they will haunt you forever and you'll never get away from them.

Revised non fiction post.

In the two articles I read "Is football dangerous?" by Buzz Bissinger and Scott Hallenbeck these two men both feel different about the game of football. Buzz feels that football IS in fact dangerous. He feels that way because of CTE: A brain disease that you can get from numerous amounts of conclusions. Scott on the other hand feels that football isn't that dangerous. He says this because girls hockey has the highest concussion rate of any sport. Buzz wants his readers to feel football is very dangerous. He shows this by using the brain disease CTE, and he also says that he will never let his son play football because it is "Simply to dangerous." Scott Hallenbeck wants his readers to feel football isn't as dangerous as Buzz makes it sound. He feels this by saying "Concussions are prone to happen in any sport children participate in." (which is true) and also showing that the percentage and number of concussion suffered in girls hockey is higher and greater than football. In my opioion I do know that football is a dangerous sport, but I support hallenbaeck's arugment. When playing any sport everyone should be reminded you can get a concussion. And now knowing that girls hockey concussion rate is higher than any sport, that proves that football isn't the most dangerous sport.

Non fiction post

In the article "is football is just to dangerous" there is an debate showing each side of what people think about football, Being just to dangerous or not as dangerous as others can make it seem. The author I believe wants to show the reader how people can have a different opinion on one thing. Some People would say yes some people would say no. In this case the topic is football. This arictle to me makes me feel like author wants to prove a point but he used people's opinion to say its, cause everyone's opinion is different not the same. The author was smart by doing this because he made people sit down and really consider what he was trying to ask; is football just too dangerous. He also used stats to show reasons why people would say it is dangerous and then he used reasons why people can compare other sports and think differently. I felt like that was a great tool to use cause then people could have at least one reason to back up what they think about the topic. In my opinion this was a great article to read! I learned new things like the brain dissorders football can leave you. I also learned how girls hockey has the most conclusion rate of any sport. Which is hard to believe but true. Hockey is also very dangerous to, people comapare that to football and say maybe football isn't as bad as people say. Then the others that feel football is too dangerous and look at the brain dissorders you can get from football and say that football is the most dangerous sport we have today.
