The original cover of this book is outdated in that the font of the title is one that is commonly used on books from the mid 20th century. The quality of the image on the cover is also not the best. Due to the lack of technology in the 1960's when this book was published, the cover is not very interesting and only displays a green silhouette of the Las Vegas lights in poor resolution, and a black background with white text. It also does not do a very good job of displaying what the book is about using the image alone.

    The new cover is good. I feel that the new cover tells what the story is about better than the original cover and the typography used on the new one is a good choice that fits in well with the cover.

    I really think that using the police line for the topography was a really nice way to touch on the crime aspect of the green felt jungle. The leaves and slot machine being the same shade of green really tie the cover together.

Importance of Art

"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period." In short, this statement could not be more wrong. First of all, the workforce is not what it used to be. Years ago, going to work usually meant working in a factory, where you needed to have a basic knowledge of things, followed bells (like in school), and sat down for long periods of time. Nowadays, it is more common for people to make a living out of art. More kids are going to an art institution for their postsecondary education now more than ever, so saying that "tax dollars should not be wasted on art" and "p ublic high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce" is contradictory. In addition, even if the students taking these art classes do not choose to pursue a career in the arts, tax dollars should not be considered "wasted" on them. Art

Social Media Questions 1. The trend highlight in the article is colleges tending to look up applicants on Google or social media sites. 2.  I believe this trend will continue.This is because as social media continues to becomes more widespread, it allows colleges to have more of an inside look of who they will be accepting into their college. 3. This could affect a student's future because if colleges are looking at their account and see something they don't like, they could deny admission to that student. The same goes for employers looking at an applicant's social media.

Napoleon Dynamite

1. I thought he was weird and shy. He was definitely the type to get bullied at school. 2. I thought the movie was a comedy. I think others wouldn't think that though and just think it was either weird or boring. 3. I think he saw himself as a nerd because he didn't associate with Summer and her gang so much, but he didn't care because he would just do what he wanted such as dance on stage in front of everyone and ask Trisha to the dance. 4. No nunchuck or poison dark skills but definitely art skills. Especially when it came to drawing ligers. 5. It's probably funniest for former Napoleons so they can look back and laugh at themselves and remember the quirky thinks they used to do. 6. At our school the football players and partiers are at the top. Napoleon would probably fit in with the kids who no one dislikes but doesn't really show up to any events so he isn't very well-known. I'm definitely not at the "top", I'd say I'm in the uppe
