Frank Bowen Monologue

Decent Essays
Students in charge and in control. Right as the moderator Nate Roskens waits for the signal to start going live, he glances at the audience, then at the anchors for the Podcast. As Nate sees the signal, he doesn't have time to wonder if things will go right.

Right in that moment before Nate starts to speak, his demeanor changes. He sits up straighter. He looks like he has it all figured out. And flashes a bold grin.

"Hi and welcome to another podcast. I'm Nate Roskens, here with anchors, Lauren Kuehler, Matthew Bowen, Nick Kolesnikov, Julie Sierra, and on guest mic Chelsey Lamb." Says Nate in a confident, strong voice.

Groom High School does something unique and almost unheard of. Students are given a voice to tell everyone, not just the

They have freedom, but not without guidance. They are spreading their wings and showing the community they are ready to enter this world with stances and values all their own.

"I like to voice my opinion, but it's hard to come up with something on the fly that sounds sophisticated" says Freshman Matthew Bowen

But in doing so, many people don’t see the real effort behind such podcasts. Also, what others fail to realize is that they seem to think it’s easy enough that anyone can do it. Problem is, not everyone can, Garet puts in a bit more effort than others in the Podcast. He does the microphones, recording, and editing. Garet makes sure things go as planned and what doesn’t, he edits out.

"The editing takes about an hour ,maybe less if it's a good recording. It takes about an hour and a half, if it needs a lot of editing" says Garet Rocha producer of the Podcast and broadcast.

Matthew Bowen, Nick Kolesnikov, Chelsey Lamb, Nate Roskens, and weekly guests help Garet set up and take down mics, stands, and chairs. Podcast is a group effort and everyone should be noticed for it. It doesn't have to be a big elaborate suprise to show your appreciation, but a single comment can go so

    19 Knives Analysis

    Hi, this is Charlotte, and here is my podcast on my understanding of the stylistic traits of Post-Modernism. For evidence I've chosen the short stories "Song" by Annabelle Lyon and "19 Knives" by Mark Anthony Jarman, along with the podcast "Everything is a Remix", done by Kirby Ferguson. So boiled down, I feel Post-Modernism pushes you to question your trust, both in the narrator and society. First of all, the writers tend to pick a storyline which does not revolve around order, nor come to a "happy ending". Also, the characters, or ideas, in Post-Modernist writing are often helpless, hard to like and/or go deprived of meaning.…

    “Let's talk about that” is the notorious catchphrase of the viral and trendy YouTube duo, Rhett and Link. Their channel, Good Mythical Morning, is a series of talk show style videos with a humorous twist and arbitrary acts centering around easily entertaining the youth of today’s culture. Their shows ranges anywhere from pairing wine and bugs to cuddling each other while being covered with cockroaches to eating pig anus cupcakes. Rhett and Link give a hilarious, yet awkward performance in every one of their videos. Both characters, independently brilliant and entertaining, come together, and the audience can hardly stand to look away.…

    As I move through this semester I am learning more and more that teamwork is needed in almost every area of the student affairs profession. If you would have asked me a year ago to draft a conference proposal I would have said it only took one or two people to complete the task needed to submit a good proposal. The last month has changed this previous mindset though, as I have found it takes many dedicated individuals to help draft a good proposal. I decided to work with Rachael Kowbel who is the Director of Admission for the College of Dentistry and we drafted a proposal discussing how closed-door student panels affect incoming students in both a positive and negative way. Below this paper will discuss how the team was formed, my individual role on the team and how all of the information came together during the process.…

    If you had asked any of my peers for a description of who I am, they would have said that I was someone who was shy, and possibly even a bit awkward. This was a personality trait that I had been struggling with throughout the majority of my life. I had grown up as an only child, incessantly feeling out of place among my peers. It wasn’t until the middle of my freshman year of high school that I gained the self-confidence I had only dreamed about.…

    Dumpster Diving Essay

    In Lars Eighner’s essay “On Dumpster Diving”, Eighner writes to the general middle and upper class American about the day to day life of an average Dumpster Diver. Written in an almost how to guide format, Eigner shows the reader that the average diver not only can find interesting items in the garbage, but also make a living off of it by finding food that is safe to eat. Written throughout by Eigner, However, is a counter argument that goes to show just how wrong the normal stereotypes of a Dumpster Diver are and to redefine the population of divers to show that they are indeed also human by using his own knowledge and experience on the topic.…

    While reading chapter five, Fallacies of Argument, and chapter six, Rhetorical Analysis, there were key words that stood out to me that related to the podcast, Researchers Study Effects Of Social Media On Young Minds. Fallacies are argumentative moves flawed by their very nature or structure. There are fallacies of emotional argument, such as bandwagon appeals, which is when we urge people to follow the same path everyone else is taking. Continuing, fallacies of ethical arguments are important to think about when determining an argumentative writing piece; stacking the deck means that the person talking is showing only one side of the story, going with ethical arguments in writing. Rhetorical Analysis is the analyzing of how well the components…

    An Immigration Story For my creative writing piece I decided to focus on the genre of podcasts. Podcasts are a common medium used to inform and interact with an audience. I choose to do a podcast because my topic at hand, immigration, can be very broad and contains a lot of information. The video format allowed for a more direct connection to the audience. Though the general public could be considered the audience for this piece, I found it more important to target an audience less informed with immigration.…

    Since I wasn't able to visit my eighth graders on our usual schedule (my teaching class had an in-class day to reconnect with each other and learn information for our teaching exam- sad face.) , I felt very happy to go visit my kids today! As I entered Ms. Fentress' room when her AI students were exiting, I realized that these kids are just like high school kids. One boy was jamming out to his music, and even rapped for his classmates. It's always funny to see how their distinct personalities intertwine with one-another to make it a friendly atmosphere.…
