Blog #6 Zach Wolfe

Prompt 1: Social media plays a large part in our lives nowadays with the internet wing as big as it is. Sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram make it easy to connect with our friends and view each other's lives. What social media do you take part in? What role does it play in your life? What are your likes and dislikes about social media?
Prompt 2: Books have always been a part of human history. Whether they tell stories of ancient rulers such as the scrolls of Ancient Egypt, are made up stories of magic that we wish were true like Harry Potter, or are the basis of religion like the Bible. Books were around thousands of years ago, and will be around thousands of years later. What is your favorite book and why? What genre of books do you like the most?
Prompt 3: Sports are big business in America and around the world. Sports are now bigger than ever in the entertainment industry. What is your favorite sport? What do you like about it? What do you dislike?

Answer to prompt 3:
My favorite sport is soccer. It's famous aroun the world and known as the world's most popular sport. I like it because it's exciting and takes lots of skill. This is shown in the low scores of most soccer games. It takes incredible skill to be able to score with your feet or head against a big goalkeeper who can use any part of his body, including his hands, to stop you. I also like that there is never a stoppage of play. The action continues to go on for 90 minutes, only stopping for halftime. This also means no commercials during professional games! The only thing I dislike is that flopping is becoming huge in the game and referees are dishing out punishments to defenders who have done nothing wrong. Attacking players will just fall on the ground if a defender even gets close to them. It's making a mockery of the game.
