Catchphrases

I have only recently started to keep track of current events. Therefore, this project was probably the best way for me to begin. I thought to myself, “I should start small…I should start with the current events in the United States,” which is exactly what I did. I subscribed to U.S. News at CNN.com around July 16. Subscribing to this feed informed me about everyday life, politics, and occasionally something about entertainment. I read articles that caught my attention. I noticed that the headings could sound interesting, yet the actual articles could be very humdrum. Over the couple of weeks that I have been reading this feed, I found several articles that were interesting to me. My mind was amused with articles such as Unrepentant on Facebook? Expect jail time, Army will shoot live pigs for medical training, and Grandma accused of hiring hitman. The article on Facebook educated its readers that the pictures posted could be held against you in a court trial. While reading the article about the army shooting live pigs for medical training gave me mixed feelings, but my overall thought was a soldier’s life is more important than a pig’s. Grandma accused of hiring hitman was a stimulating read because she is a seventy-six year old woman and was accused of hiring a hitman. This is a feed that I am going to keep reading regularly and eventually I will add the world news from CNN.com to my reader.
