Next summer Arizona State will be banning all tabacco products on campus. This ban will take place on all campus and since this has been announced it has seemed to be a highly concerned topic. Tabacco while not being a rather positive product seems to be a positive thing for students in a sense that it has brought those who want to keep it on campus closer together by trying to find solutions to present to those who are over this rule being proposed at Arizona State. Even those who are not for it are thinking of more reasons to why it shouldn't be allowed on campus. When asking students around campus this is what they stated.
Me: how do you feel about this restriction?
Kayla: I believe it's a good decision, students need to focus on more positive things that will benefit them and not things that can't impact them negatively.
Me: Would you get involved in any of the groups for or againist it?
Kayla: Not personally, I don't have a strong opinion on this, but I would not be for it if asked to choose a side.
Me: Some students say that they are adults and should have the freedom to what they feel, would you agree?
Kayla: No, yes you are an adult, but you should respect other people and how it affects them.
Me: What other reasons do you have for this ban?
Kayla: People seem to not respect the rules set for smoking, there should be set places for smoking to be allowed and for any tabacco use and when students don't respect the rules placed in front those privaliges should be taken away. Also, when students take cans of chew and throw them on the ground and litter it makes the Arizona State campus look bad and dirty. Also with ciggarette boxes around campus they also are found on the ground. Students also don't like the smell and it lingers in the air and pollutes the Arizona State campus with terrible smells that can stick to your clothing and other things that not all people want.
Students who are for the ban have great arguements on this ban and deserve to not have to deal with the problems that present themselves.

ASU Reacts
The author from last week talked about how the Bond' series has been facing a little bit of a slump and hasn't been around or talked about lately, but with the new release of the movie "Skyfall" is bringing the Bond' series back to life. The author states that the "old ways" of Bond' are being brought back to life and to the theaters. The main point and arguement it looks like the author was trying to point out was simply that even though there has been a drought of the James Bond trilogy that with this new movie being realeased, they have really gotten back to how things were and how they believe they should be. When asking a student on campus they stated ' it brought the Bond value and dynasty back to theaters and brought the old school Bond that everyone knew and loved back to theaters." In conclusion, it seems the author and the reviewers of this movie have come to an agreement that the Bond' trilogy is now back and to stay this time.

Genre Analysis: James Bond is back
Audio essays are very unique and indifferent in the way that, it could be read as a paper like any other you do, but when it's presented to an audience on the actual audio end of it, it sounds like there is an interview taking place instead of some paper and words you just read. Even though you must still type up a paper and have it there for reference, the real important part of the work is that you have a great audio recording of the work. The man speaking gave more of an overview and even though having a script, he just seemed to use natural ability and spokesmanship skills he had gained to just speak freely instead of reading straight off of the script which most audiences would prefer. With my personality being more open, I personally think my work with this will be a lot better because I like to have the freedom to say things that aren't exactly according to what is suppose to be said or just to mix it up because I do like to be considered different. As I stated earlier, the actual paper seemes to just be a simple reference that you can go to, but not exactly needed to complete the task at hand. Adding music, or sound effects to the audio also can keep the audience in tuned to the audio you present, in example, this article played the main theme song from the movie 'Skyfall' at the beggining which for James Bond fans you would catch onto and be attracted to that. Also, the end of the audio plays the song to let you know the end is coming for the audio.

'Project 2 Reflection' Uncertanity
Looking back on project 2, I'm feeling a bit of I think I did well, but at the same time I'm wondering if it's almost to good to be true. I did put in a lot of time and effort into making sure my rough draft was really well put together so I didn't have much to change in the final product, but I'm feeling a little bit of doubt with the project. I'm not sure I had any particular struggle, mainly the intro and reaching the 800 words would probably be the most difficult challenge I faced and for me wanting to exceed 2000 words to make sure I had enough information was the most difficult part. I learned that there are always pros and cons to any ting you look at and you have to take the most important parts out of it that affect you the most strongly and know you have to deal with the cons of things to. I don't think I will alter my writing based off this project because it didn't make me feel as if I need to change anything. I believe I evaluated really well and it dealt with a place I'm famaliar to me so I could give really good details on what it was and what made it positive. In the future and on improving this skill I will try and look deeper into things as the first project made us do and to see how that helps my evaluation skills and to explain things. Outside of this class and school, seeing the pros and cons to things will always be vital and having a understand of how things will affect me positively and negatively will always be important to understand.
