2. In Monday's paper the top story in the Life and Arts section is called "It's back to the basics". Why would or would you not like to participate in an adventure race like the ones described in the story?

    

    I would not like to compete in a race like this because I am not any good at the things they are competing in. Also I am straight up lazy. I do think it is a very cool and interesting concept.

3. In Monday's paper, on the second page of the Life and Arts section is a regular column called "Like a Local". The main part of the story is about a woman who wrote a book. The story goes on with a list of Becky Murphy's favorite places to go in Austin. Write a short paragraph in that same style about a favorite place you like to go.

     Evangeline's is definite food favorite. They serve Louisiana style cajun food with a little Austin flare.  A customer favorite is the chicken fried chicken drizzled in their special recipe spicy cajun gravy. Evangeline's is a staple when it comes to any cajun dish. Evangeline's is located on South Austin on Brodie.

     

4. In Tuesday's paper, on page A8 there is a story about two Utah men who pushed an ancient rock formation off its foundation. Do you think the men should be prosecuted? WHY OR WHY NOT.

     I think the men should be prosecuted because they purposely toppled over the boulder, a very very old rock formation. Also they shouldn't have posted the video on their Facebook page which is just obnoxious and they should be prosecuted for reckless Facebook posting. Yes that should be a thing.

5. In Tuesday's paper in the Business section on page B7, there is a story titled "Report: 15% of younger Americans idle. In a paragraph tell me your reactions to that story.

      I am not very surprised by the article I think it is very true. I have seen idle students and teens first hand, my brother skipped and didn't want put in the time at school and I know lots of kids skip school here at Bowie to do nothing. I think it is very stupid because it is just waste of time and if students keep staying idle they won't learn the things they need to to be successful in life and the real world is going to chew them up and spit them out.

6. In Wednesday's paper on the front page, there is a story title "Officer in shooting abruptly retires". Should the officer have been able to retire, and receive a full pension after the incident (please note he was able to buy additional years to get his full pension)? WHY OR WHY NOT.

     I do not think he should have received full pension because it was not decided what the motive, intention was or if it violated police rules. so therefore he should not get full pension because it was not decided. However he should be allowed to retire.

7. In Wednesday's paper in the Metro and State section, the lead story is about a stolen laptop. Do you worry about your private information getting out to the public? WHY OR WHY NOT.

   

 I do not really worry about my private info. getting out to the public because I have my information as private on a computer as I can set it to be . Also I don't really think that people have a reason to get a hold of my personal info. right now. However there are hackers out there who are very good at getting protected info off of computers.
