Britney Spears
i think that britney's rights are being taken away from her. yes, she has done somethings, that have been very irrational, and "crazy" but i don't think she has done anything illegal. I think it is great that everyone is concerned for her, but if she was just an everyday person like you or i, no one except her family and friends would be worried about her and it wouldnt be taken to these extremes. I think she has no rights at all with this 5150 law, everyone else pretty much gets to make the decision that she gets to be put away or not. In this case, there is a little more evidence that she might need help, that someone else that might come in off the street.

His Girl Friday
everything in this movie is very fast paced
they don't exactly say what they mean/but you can get what they are implying
Hildy - "i want to go somewhere i can be a woman" refering to leaving the paper and going to be a wife and having a family not having to work && trying to Walter eel somewhat guilty.
At the lunch table, hildy was the first one to get her cigs. out and walter was second, and then she lit her match and he used her match in her hand to light his cig. first. && they just acted like it was something that was always done that way, nothing out of the ordinary
walter seems to be a very sly/sneaky guy, both in his business life and in his personal life
bruce wanted to believe everything walter said, just because he seemed like an honest guy, but hildy knew better knew better, and it was a good thing.
hildy seemed like a pretty popular reporter around town, everyone knew who she was and that she was/had been married to walter
DAY 2
i think it was funny how the gaurd didnt want to let hildy interview earl, "sheriffs orders" but as soon as there was money involved, it was a whole different storyall them guys playing poker, were too busy with their game to pay attention to mollie, who came in, and was very angry for the stories who had been written about her and earl, while hildy just sat down and started typing her story, she was focused on what mollie was saying after she took mollie back outside && came back in she was kind of frustrated with the "gentlemen of the press" for not telling the whole truth that mollie was telling. she put all her anger behind her once williams broke out of jail, she called walter right away.... && told him she was on the job.... after she pretty much told him && all the other reports she was on to bigger and better thingsshe was the last one to get started on the story, and the fisrt one to report it back to her office, but she had to pay for it, right now , it looks as if she has gotten herself into more than she can handle, but im sure she will get out of it somehow
Day 3
Mollie jumped out the window to distract the other reporters, so William could get out of the desk. Bruce's mother was then taken to jail, so she could be next to him. Walter is still trying to get the story out of it. While all this is happeneing, William is still locked in the desk. Hildy just wants to go out and be married, but Walter wants to make it into something bigger than it ia and he really has had nothing to do with it, except trying to go behind Hildy and Bruces back so they couldn't get married and she could stay.
all bruce was worried about was that the post was going to get credit in the story, they were mentioned in the second paragraph && that wasn't good enough for him, he wanted it re-written.
every reporter had a different story for their paper, when they found out that bruces mom was gone they all ran out.
it tured out the city officials were crooked and they were the ones guilty and not earl williams
"i am trying to do something noble for once in my life"- bruce, hildy wouldnt belive him after all these years, this was a job she loved and didn't want to leave it, so she didnt....

what would you like to learn this semester in comm 387
i don't really know what i would like to learn this semester. i am comming into this class with an open mind. i actually think it sounds like a very boring class, but i am still here, and ready to learn. Another reason i am in this class is because i have to be. I would much rather be in an advertising based class, so could focus more on my major, but since there are only a few of them offered and more writing/journalism classes offered thats what i am taking. I am hoping to get something useful out of this class that can help me in the future, and not seem like a waste.
