Feature Self-Edit
1. 4 sources
2. The story is about my Aunt Carrie's dentistry. It explains the process leading up to it's purchase and what it's like for her and my Uncle Victor to work it.
3. 25 paragraphs
4. 1659 words
5. 12 quotes
6. 4 people
7. “Sometimes, I will work on a patient who’s been embarrassed of their smile their whole life,” Carrie said. “I have patients whose teeth I fix that will cry and hug me and bring me gifts. That is one of the most rewarding parts of my practice: helping people feel more confident in their self-esteem if they’ve had something that’s bothered them, or if they’ve been in pain and I've been able to help them not hurt anymore.”
8. Around the middle-ish or later
9. It did to me
10. Probably one of the dentists that worked for my Aunt
11. i dont think so
12. How do I add in more information and make the story more descriptive and interesting while lowering my word count, creating a smoother flow, and making it cleaner?
If multiple sources game me multiple angles and a lot of different aspects of information on the same topic, how do I include it all with only one quote to really go deep in that sort of information?
How do I add more quotes from my cousins even though the quotes from my aunt and uncle are just better?
13. Carrie Muzny DDS: A Dive into a Personal Story of a Family Dentistry
14. I am really interested in it, and I love the story, but the writing itself needs work. I want to add more information and more description, but I also want to make it more condense, flow smoother, and feel cleaner. I want to add more quotes from my cousins, but my aunt and uncle just have better ones. I have so much good information from both of them on multiple subjects where they both give their opinion, but I can't really put two quotes for every sort of situation that's like that. There are pieces of information I really wanted to add, but there just wasn't room or a good place.

The Man Who Played Violin in the Subway Article Related Questions Analysis (in progress)
1. The way we perceive beauty is different for everyone. The definition for what is beautiful is influenced by personal preferences. Beauty is also shaped by knowledge on a given subject related to what is being examined as "beautiful". Additionally, we may see something as impressive or beautiful if we understand and can identify how bad "poor quality" is vs how good "professional" is. Furthermore, our personal lives, what we do for entertainment or an occupation, or the conditions/treatments we received in our childhoods mold our sense of understanding of beauty. Finally, our ability to identify beauty is affect heavily on our current priorities, how much of our attention is currently occupied, and how much attention we are giving to the observation of our surroundings.
2. The vast majority of people in a common place in a busy hour don't really have, or really give time to appreciate what is around them. In this sort of situations, its a common place seen countless times by people who are occupied with other things or higher personal value including work or personal problems. Repeatedly going through the same place at the same time every day for the same reason, such as taking the subway to work, heavily degrades a person's expectations and create second nature habits to the point where they don't think of it any more than a place they were to get somewhere else. Pretty much everyone there who has their own priorities and attention given to a single something won't notice anything outside of their own personal "bubble". It takes a low level of business, a large amount of attention free, and/or especially a conscious search for it for someone to truly identify something beautiful in that sort of scenario.
3. In this sort of situation, it is very difficult to find talent, especially that which we don't expect, and it's more than improbable that it will be found by those who are part of the massive mob of self-concerned individuals that make up a majority of possible beauty identifiers. Preconceived assumptions and stereotypes decrease our expectations in these scenarios, and our consumed focus limits our ability to observe our environment, let alone notice the unexpected. The very aspect of unexpectedness hinders us from knowing even generally what to look for, so people who even look for something unexpected but search for the wrong thing increases the talent's unexpectedness. Spotting such unexpected talent in such ordinary, unchanging locations is extremely difficult, and impossible for some people. It is easier for people who aren't trying to get from one place to another, have an understanding for extraordinary talent, and have more attention to give to observation of their environment, but it's still really hard. In the end, we will most likely only experience this sort of talent is if we are in the right place at the right time with the right mindset.

CE #3.1
1. 143 years old
2. more than 400
3. the Court of Criminal Appeals
4. 54 yards
5. "Hurricanes"
Long Response:
1. The popular rapper Kanye West has converted over to Christianity and found Christ. The article explains how he has found Christ and calls himself a Christian Rapper. He has performed and spoke explaining the revelation of Christ in his heart.
2. West's lowest point in life was in 2016 after being hospitalized due to a "mental breakdown". He said that God was there inspiring him in that moment.
3. No, I haven't listened to any of his songs.
4. I don't know. I haven't listened to them. I don't particularly like rap, but I can't have any hate for good Christian music.
5. He talked about his conversion to Christianity. He explained how God had become his motivator for creating music over money and fame.
6. No, I have no idea who he is.
7. I have not heard a single one of Kanye's songs, and I am completely convinced he has truly found God. This is the truth: it doesn't matter what Kanye has done or what he has written songs about, drugs, sex, police brutality; God is all loving, and Christ's death has cleansed the sin of all men. No matter how far down they have dug themselves into their sin, God can pull them out and create new people out of them. Yes, I do believe with all my heart, soul, and mind that Kanye has found God, because anyone who accepted Christ as their savior is changed forever. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 NIV)

Feature Writing Preview
1. The hard news stories were straight to the point and did an efficient job at relaying information reliably, quickly, and briefly. The feature gave a lengthy story with interesting depth and much more detail and a much larger cover of information over the story.
2.
Who: 2
What: 5
When: 8
Where: 2
Why: 4
How: 2
3. yes
4. sort of. it is "quote transition" but by paragraphs, its more like transition transition quote quote transition transition quote quote etc.
5. Ted Williams, Kevin McLoughlin, Doral Chenoweth III, Ken Andrews, Tony Florentino, Shane Cormier, Frank Willson, Patrick Harris
6. "'Radio is defined (as) theater of mind,'" Williams says on the Dispatch video. "I can't be an actor; I can't be an on-air (television) personality."
7. 33
8. 758
9. The lead gives a deep sense of awe with a simple sentence that is filled with so much suspense. The end gives a sense of incomplete potential with success in the future. They are so simple yet so powerful.
10. It reminds me of an opening movie cuisine or trailer when the screen is black and you hear a deep male voice saying something or just a few words. Also, it reminds me of the end sometimes, when they say one more phrase or few words before one more cutscene plays and movie title appears (followed by a brief cutscene and ratings before ending).
11. yes
12. yes
13. I saw really how homeless and in bad shape he looked, and I saw how impressive his voice really was.
14. yes
15. they mention it, but it's hard to imagine without the video
16. They added quotes in italics when Williams spoke in his "news" voice. It wasn't to easy for me to visualize though.

COMMENTARY BRAINSTORM
1. Tired: doing homework late into the night
Excitement: D&D is great
Anxiety: waiting for my grades to be finalized
2. Keeping my grades in the A catagories
Finishing homework and giving myself free time before bed
Literally winning any encounter in D&D
3. Having conflicting schedules between things like Cyber Patriots and D&D
Losing or having something stolen such as my Chromebook, Phone, or Headphones
How people will treat/react to me when I wear my JROTC uniform
4. The natural surface of liquid in pretty much all of the bathrooms
Slackers in group projects who don't take their grades seriously forcing you to do all the work
Having a session of D&D canceled because someone can't make it last second.
5. (Need and have)
D&D after school on Tuesdays
Straight A's
Extra time on assignments and noise canceling headphones
5.1 (Need and don't have)
More free time not doing homework
More sleep
More D&D meetings outside of Tuesday after school
6. Keeping their jobs
Rowdy, misbehaving students
Making sure everything's graded and planned for while still having family time (if they have one)
7. A behaving class that likes their teacher
Students who are serious about their work and do well
Students going out of their way to do nice things for them
8. The positive support teachers give me (and the teachers)
How interesting my academic courses like biology and world geography are
D&D
9. Homework (how long it takes me. I don't have anything against doing it, it just takes forever)
How much people disagree with my opinion in sensitive areas like religion, gender, politics, etc. and how much I have to just let all of it just happen. (I can't speak my mind without being "hateful" or "racist" or "sexist")
How religion is supposed to be kept to one's self, but we are still forced to learn about the millions of years we "evolved". If I should keep my beliefs to myself to avoid offending someone else's beliefs (which I'm fine with), then why am I being forced to learn something that goes against MY beliefs? Sure we need to learn biology, geography, history, but still!
10. Short shorts. Someone standing right in front of me while sitting down taught me something I did not want to know: where the defining area of separation between the cheeks and legs are. People wearing them have no sense of moderation. (opinion)

CE #2.2
1. A lot of Republican House Members publicly requested that he step down from his leadership role
2. The Liberal Party
3. They don't feel the Mayor & Council are listening to the people or doing a good job of representing them.
4. It provides help to K-12 councilors find students' career choices and paths to get there.
5. 33 yd
Long Response:
1. Trump is trying to get Republicans to support him against the impeachment investigation. He refers the Democrats constant push for his impeachment as "a lynching". He even goes to the extent of using racial insults against black Democratic congresswomen to enhance his point. This connection between the two events has caused serious emotional flashbacks to people who experienced losses from lynching.
2. Lynching means to kill someone for an alleged offense without a legal trial.
3. Post Civil War through the 1950s, many white racist groups lynched many black people for white supremacy. Although not exclusively, the majority of lynching was of black people in the southern states for alleged reasons without a legal trial or even one at all.
4. Trump compares his impeachment situation with lynching due to how unfair and unreasonable he feels the Democrat's claims against him are.
5. Personally, I don't think that Trump's analogy was very appropriate for this sort of situation. He was way too extreme with his comparison, and he didn't really make a good impression of himself on the Republican Party. However, I feel that the term "lynching" was a successful method for illustrating the extremity of the situation, showing how Trump truly felt about it, and drawing much more attention to the situation whether it was good, Trump being so serious that people question the credibility of the Democratic Party, or bad, Trump being seen as desperate and racist.
