      I think today, even when we are dealing with our lives there is always going to be a fear we have inside of bombings or shootings, just because that is the world we live in. This sort of relates the characters to their readers.

    1. “‘Slacktivism’ is the ideal type of activism for a lazy generation: why bother with sit-ins and the risk of arrest, police brutality, or torture if one can be as loud campaigning in the virtual space?

      Are we really that lazy? or have we found out a way to reach the masses?

    1. I see myself as a protestor who is also telling the story as it happens.

      I think that it is interesting, again...these people that tweet and use hashtags are part of the movement and are able to report live updates.

    2. We were able to tell our own stories.

      I can imagine that it will be interesting to not have grades for each assignment set by the professor, but it almost gets you to work hard and you will get what you deserve, if you don't work hard, then you also get what you deserve.

    2. Contract grading seemed like a potentially useful tool in combating student anxiety over grades by putting control of the grade firmly in students’ hands.

      This is a good point because someone who worries all the time about their grades, me, and now students can work on projects and not worry about how it will effect their grade if they work hard but don't get it right.
