As I've had my series of mistakes with my summary paper I've gotten some good feed back on what a quality summary actually is and what it should consist of. When I started writing my summary it was one sided not because of the movie, but because of me and the way that I felt about the conflict on screen. After recognizing my one sided paper I went back to correctly explain what the film was trying to say and now it feels as if I'm speaking more from the movie.

What Impact has Documentaries had on you and your lifestyle? personally for me I haven't viewed many documentaries and its not because I don't have the time or know any, but its more of because I really feel I don't get too much out of a film that's not a narrative driven plot. Just because I haven't seen many doesn't mean that I don't have one that notably stands out to me. One documentary that I saw was titled "The World's Fastest Man" which was a documentary on Usain Bolt which is the world record holder in the 100 meter and 200 meter dash. Of the few documentaries I have given a try, I would have to say this one is my favorite.

Documentaries can help a writer by giving them a more broad explanation of today's problems and how certain people deal with them. I think something that's really important to the writer and everyone else is to know that all people are human and nobody is perfect. In the documentaries I've seen, they try to bring these idol like people down to earth to show that they are just human and just like us they bleed the same. I feel that when we know that everyone goes through something I think this can make it easier to connect with other people.

In theory I honestly feel documentary films for the most part help bring everyone down to common grounds that define us as all having the same mutual problems whether it be a global catastrophe or a commonly diagnosed illness. In shaping a writer it's important to be considerate of other people's issues because these are the people who are going to be your supports in the long run. when a writer figures out how to connect to a group of people effectively, I feel they will become an effective writer.

Why is it that teenagers shy away from their Social Media? Coming from today's generation I feel like more teenager's are shying away from the fact that they have social media for a few reasons. Today we are allowed to log on twitter to like and retweet what ever we see with each action affecting our image positively and/or negatively and in the end we build a profile that displays very accurately who we are as people. With teenagers and other young adults becoming more and more indulged in today's declining society as far as media we find ourselves building what might be seen in other people's eyes as a sour reputation to those who strongly detest who we are and what we like. Today's generation is all about fitting in and in order to establish acceptance from different social groups we have to learn to blend in; our social media destroys these chances. In my own opinion I feel uncomfortable showing away my social media to a large group of people not because I post negligent things, but because I don't want everyone to know everything about me without me telling them. By looking at my Profiles you can tell How I feel about current events, who I think is right or wrong and what political views I'm for and these are all the things I'm not ready to share with my peers because the moment you have a different view on something, You lose more than followers, and then people begin to dislike you for who you are. social media isn't exactly hated by Teens, its just that most of us are ashamed to admit we have it.
