Column Thoughts

Today my blog post is going to be over the set of columns that I read for homework. The first column I read was over the Winter Olympics and specifically went over the event of the United States beating the Soviets. The event was called the Miracle on Ice and it was a miracle because the Soviets were one of the toughest hockey teams at the time. I really liked the column because it was over the story of the United States winning and I was able to relate to the column. The second column I read was over the Boston Marathon and I also quite enjoyed it. The column talks about the greatest moments in sports and then goes to one of the worst moment in sports which was the Boston Bombing. The column gave me a new sense of how brave and heroic the people were when they tried to save people without even knowing if there was going to be another bomb that would explode.

The next column that I read was called An Image a Little Too Carefully Coordinated. The column was over the new justice the president picked for supreme court. He talks about how the clothes the family was wearing were not original and on how the pictures would always look the same. I did not really enjoy the column because what the author wrote was something that did not seem to relate to me and did not feel important or funny. The next column that I read was over Kate Middleton's wedding dress. I did not like the column because I couldn't relate to it at all and it did not seem like a very important topic. The column talks about how whatever Kate Middleton wears will be a big deal and that it would go down in fashion history. The next column that I read was over on how moms plan birthdays compared to dads and I really liked the column because I found that I could relate to it and that the author added many aspects to it that added humor too. The last column I read was on how the author wanted a dog. I enjoyed the column because I could relate to it and it had humor in it also. The author goes on to tell all the reasons he wanted a dog and I could relate to that to the way I go through all the reasons I want something when I have to beg my parents for something.
