The discussion board

When I went through and answered the questions that everyone asked I was surprised by some of the questions and also some of the answers. One of the questions asked " I you could meet a famous person, who would it be and why?" I completed expected people to say the president for some reason, I was very surprised when a few of the answers were Justin Bieber. I honestly had never even thought about meeting him but I guess that would be pretty cool, I mean the kids is only, what, 16 and already has millions apon millions of dollars and has amazing talent. I also was a little thrown off from being asked what kind of cow i would be- I just said milk cow because after having three children you already in a way feel like a milk cow..hehehe. In my opinion everybody had good questions. Going by what they asked you could really learn something new about a person that you had made assumptions about and be completely wrong. When asked what Jesus was to me I was a little taken back by it, what if someone was atheist and didnt feel comfortable at all answering that question? Do they still get the points for answering it even though they didnt? I answered it the way i feel and to me that is my own personal choice to talk about religion, I was raised as to not ask people such things as that. Truth is, is that I believe in god and jesus and I believe what the bible has to say but I do not enjoy talking about my personal beliefs and religion with people I dont really know, thats why i dont go to church. I prefer to keep that side of me between me and my family. I enjoyed reading what my fellow classmates like and it was very informative about their own different personalities. I think knowing these things about these people make me feel a little more relaxed about writing for an audience. You can take from the discussion board, that alot of the people in class are very laid back and not very judgmental. I think I would feel alot more comfortable sharing aloud with my peers now knowing a little more about them.

  1. Callie - you bring up excellent points about the questions. What do the answers mean? What does this audience look like? ~Ms. A.
