I took a personality test to see what animal I am most like: The options were a Golden Retriever, Lion, Otter, and a Beaver. When I took the test I found out that my highest match was for a golden retriever,  and the second highest was for a lion.  The test said that golden retrievers are calm, affirming, and accommodating, but also indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotions, and too soft on other people.

It establishes their actions and emotions at the same time. A medium shot should feel like you could be  having a conversation with the subject. 4. Wide Shot The wide shot ties toget...

         In the article "They Loved Your G.P.A. Then They Saw Your Tweets." , the author talks about how many students, despite having good G.P.A's, are not getting into their desired colleges because of the things they post on social media.  This article was surprising to me, because I didn't know that schools went through students' social medias. I think that schools doing that may be violation of privacy, but I also think that it may be helpful for schools if they have a very specific type of student they want. Some questions I have about the article is how often to students get rejected for their social media? Also, do teachers ever tell students that they look through their social media accounts?  One quote that was said in the article is “We would have wondered about the judgment of someone who spends their time on their mobile phone and makes such awful remarks." This is an example of how colleges and schools judge their students by their ...
