Essential Question Media Sources


An article on The Boston Marathon Bombing talks about how even though this was a tragic and terrifying event, it will not stop Boston from housing the Boston marathon, and its citizens to support it. This directly relates to my essential question about fear running peoples lives. There are two options for people coming out of this tragic event, hide, and not go out again, or continue on with life as if nothing happened.
Aurora Theater shooting: six months later talks about the hardships and grief the victims of the aurora shooting have gone through. Some people have come together to get over what happened, some are still tied down with pain. They are reopening the aurora theater where the shooting happened. Some of the victims denounce the idea, others want to go. Along with that, some people want the death penalty given to the shooter, some don’t.
Scared of talking to girls? Become a beast. Simple pickup helps guys who are too afraid to talk to girls do just that, talk to girls. They have a specific emotion they try to target that they call “bitch butterflies” (I’ll say BB for short, and so I don't say b****). BB’s are the emotion you get in your stomach when you are too afraid to do something
Why horror fascinates us says that we are attracted to fear. We wanna feel the adrenaline rush of being terrified in an environment that is safe.



This picture of a scary clown talks about peoples personal fears. Some people are afraid of heights, bugs, etc. But its really just how you look at things.

GOAL!!!

If you could be in any movie, book or TV show, what would it be, why and what character would you be?

If I could be in any movie I would be in Goal. Goal is about a little Mexican boy who comes to the US illegally with his family. That part doesn't really matter, but what happens is he's really good at soccer and a scout for NewCastle United sees him and gives him a trial with the team in England. At first, he REALLY sucks but then he pulls his stuff together and makes the team. The movie shows him scoring goals and doing all the things that the pro life allows you to do like parties etc.

I would want to be in Goal because it has always been my dream to be a professional soccer player in England. Hopefully one day this will happen to me for real :)
