When it comes to music it is one of the most popular genres in the world n will continue to be as long as humans exist. In the video “stand by me” is a video that conveys the message of you needing somebody my you no matter what. The video consists of the W.O.V.E.N elements like the W for instance, which is written the way they used written was every musician they put where they were performing and what their name was.

The human skeleton is very special to us because we need it to do everything. The youtube video “ does the human body really replace itself every 7 years?” is very straight forward and debunks the theory of our bodies replacing themselves every 7 years. The video explains that its 7-15 years. The video is also very visual and uses pictures of the brain and the skeleton to help the viewer illustrate what they are talking about. The youtube video was very short and informational providing information about the skeleton-like how it sheds or telling the viewers about the brain and history on how they get all the information. Overall the video was simple, visual straight to the point. It was also oral because it had a woman talking about all the information in the video. The video was also a little bit goofy so it can keep the viewer engaged with the woman talking saying some jokes. The second video which was called “ do babies really have more bones than adults” is a short and infor...

Valentine's day is a day you can celebrate not only with your significant other but with your family, that's why the article that most appealed the history of valentines day isn’t that romantic ” by Taysha Murtaugh and Rebekah Lowin. The article starts off by backing up my claim in saying “Valentine's Day means different things to different people “.The first sentence in the article I can relate to because Valentine's day hasn’t ever really meant anything to me its really just been another day in the year. I do like seeing others celebrate and be happy, the article also talks about the history good and bad for instance it talked about men beating women with whips “ a ritual of naked men beating women with whips “ is not something you want to hear when it comes to valentines day.  On the other hand, it talked about other traditions in different countries which I liked, they stated that February 14th is the first day of spring in great Britain.Other articles like “ the ...

Throughout mankind, there have been many sports and arguments, but personally, I’ve never heard the argument what is the oldest sport and I bet you haven’t either. If you go on the internet some will tell you running/track and others will tell you wrestling or spear-throwing if you ask me I would say wrestling because of the cave paintings "15,000 years ago in France, Egypt and other places"(stated by Simone). Wrestling could have been made up from young men just being bored and horse playing. Same thing could be said about running as well.stated in  history   https://www.catawiki.com/stories/4865-the-5-oldest-sports-in-the-world  "Wrestling was introduced in the ancient Olympics In 708bc. Track and field didn’t get introduced in the Olympics until 776bc which held a 600 foot long race". Going back to the paintings of wrestling which dated back to 15 -20 thousand years ago, there are old fragments found with wrestling instructions on it. Paintings have been found...
