American youtuber, author, actress, and singer/songwriter Gabbie Hanna in her song ”Medicate” (February 1, 2019) addresses the topics of chronic depression and other mental illnesses. She argues that doctors are ”killing sadness with science.” She supports this claim by stating that doctors don’t disclose the side effects for these heavy drugs and tell their patients ‘just swallow, it will make you feel better.’ But, does it really? Gabbie’s purpose is to show her audience that being depressed or having other illnesses is normal and not to feel pressured to take medication. (Medication changes the chemicals in your brain and I guess that is the point.) She adopts an emotional tone with her audience by sharing her own experiences with mental illness. In this essay, I will analyze her use of…

What type of content are your top three posts? Family photos, dog memes and different types of research that is going on in the world, this pretty typical i am not on Facebook a ton so most of my posts come from my family sharing different things with me. I am only apart of one community it is a group chat or account that is used for military information since my boyfriend his in the navy, it keeps you updated with anything that is going on.
What is the relationship between social media and what you know or believe? I only post about things that matter to me and I think can helps others, it is pretty spot on.
How does your social media presence compare to the professional student biography that you wrote? I think it is pretty much the same but in a different way. On social media you get the more vulnerable or fun side of someone that you don’t see professionaly.
Where do you find bias in your social media timeline? Cognitive bias on my timeline by posting things that don’t have bias and social bias from family who share things that don’t have sources or certain things I don’t believe.

I think that the author has a very similar opinion to mine, I think surrogacy isn’t a bad thing if you can’t have kids and that is all you want and a women is willing to do it there is nothing wrong with it. Everyone thinks that surrogacy is like for rich women who don’t want to be pregnant and use poor women for their own advantage. That is not true at all you have to be financially stable and quite frankly a lot of surrogates do it because they like to be pregnant and if that is what you want to do, go right ahead. I personally believe that the feminists that are protesting it don’t know enough about it and I think we all should open up our horizons and be accepting.

I am an upholder, I like everything explained with the expectations and rules. For instance if it is an essay about your life, I need like a through explanation of exactly what the teacher is looking for such as, where I was born or how many siblings I have. It is really hard for me to be creative because I want to do everything right. I think in this class I will thrive because I will read everything to make sure I have all the facts and make everything exactly to how the teachers wants it. I think my downfall in this class would be I will be stressing out on making everything perfect that I will take to long and turn it in not feeling like I did a good job.

Write an summary about a news article
In the article “Man In Florida Died After Eating Raw Oysters Contaminated With Ocean Bacteria”, the author,Theresa Tamkins, explains about a bacteria in our oceans called Vibrio Vulnificus, which contaminates our seafood and causes skin infections to people with open wounds and may cause death.There was eleven deaths in Florida in 2017 and ten in 2016. This is such a big deal because sea creatures like oysters or crab are filter feeders, so they strain and collect small particles from the ocean which then makes them more open to contamination. The most common symptoms are diarrhea and vomiting, and lesions, bloodstream infections and amputations. The author suggest that if you do get an injury at the beach, get out of the water and wash with soap and water, if it gets worse go see a doctor. Ultimately just don’t eat seafood and don’t go to the beach.
