Earth To Seattle Magazine Essay

1. In the desserts section, I’d incorporate some opinions of the writer. Like the other food articles in this magazine, an opinion on how the gluten-free desserts tasted and which one was the writer’s favorite would enhance the article. This change would make me more likely to try Jacquelynn Beckmans best dessert.
2. The “Earth to Seattle” article is a little misleading. I think Seattle mag should focus on things you can do and see in Seattle. The article and photos made me want to visit this exhibit, and I was dismayed to find that it is a personal collection and will not be shown anytime soon to the public unless they get enough funding.
3. On the “Mind Over Stress” article, the subhead states that “Seattle kids are 800 percent above average in anxiety..” Yet there is no attribution for said statement. The article mentions Richard E. Berger but does not cite him as the one who said that. The change would allow less confusion as where the statistic came from and who said it.

I also read Vogue because of their beautiful photo spread and fun clothing. I read Seattle magazine so that I can stay up-to-date on the happenings in Seattle while I’m at school in Oregon.
I do not follow any blogs. I follow Chrissy Teigen on Twitter because of her humor and glimpses into a real depiction of celebrity life. I follow Time and The Week for current news articles. I also follow Entertainment Weekly for popular culture information.
“Big Little Lies” by Liane Moriarty. It has great commentary on the world of upper-class families and their children. The book deals with abuse, affairs, and death with a raw and humorous look on life.
I hope to gain real-world experience in the field of journalism. I want to improve my writing skills and learn the ins and outs of working a 9-5 job in

In the second chapter of the book while Holden is talking to his history teacher Mr. Spencer about how life is just a game, Holden states “Game, my ass.…

    “The Love of the Last Tycoon” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald should remain on the reading list for many reasons. The novel is written in two points of view, has a wide spectrum of characters, and has multiple different conflicts. The author wrote this story for an advanced reader, who is able to understand who is speaking,and keep track of the multiple events that go on simultaneously. The novel is very short, but in this case the saying “quality not quantity” comes into play. The book can also be very confusing due to the fact that the author died before he wrote the story.…

    This exhibit was interesting to me at the time because I was learning about telescopes so it provided me with a more visual and interactive learning experience. The visual experience included a part of a telescope used for astronomical research in previous years and was enclosed in glass within the wall. This visual presentation provided me with context as to how large some of these telescopes can be. This part of the hall also awakened the inner patriotic Californian in me, when it discussed the research and discoveries conducted in my home…

    As the modern age has brought in a wave of secularism, one would expect the draw of sacred spaces to also dwindle. This has not appeared to be the case. Though many times we see a sacred space as being tied exclusively to religion, these are in fact any place that people or society have set aside. The word “sacred” tend to stir up images of centuries-old churches and monuments, but what each person holds as sacred can differ greatly. In modern society many issues have arisen between those who make claim to an area that they considered sacred and those who disagree with this distinction.…

    We have one planet to live on. Have you ever thought of that? We only have this one giant rock, hurtling through the sky at speeds too fast for us to even comprehend; and we have nowhere else to go. Yet, we still take advantage of our home.
