My article is on how the tragic death of Shain Gandee has caused MTV to cancel the show “Buckwild.” Shain, his uncle, and a friend had died from an accidental poisoning from carbon monoxide. Now being one of the main characters in the show, without Shain, the show would not be right continuing on for a second season without him. MTV made the right decision because I believe it respects the loss of one of the cast members, and it takes a lot of exagurated stereotypes out of West Virginia as well. MTV has decided that instead of continuing the show they will make a special tribute in his honor, and I feel that is the best thing to do because it pays respect to him and his life. Although many are upset over the show ending, it is the best for the show and the Gandee family.

The article I read is about how rapper Rick Ross was cut from Reebok for having their company name tainted with lyrics suggesting rape. The artist was signed to Reebok only a few years back, and has lost all his endorcements all for one song. The lyrics are “Die over these Reeboks, you ain’t even know it, Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it,” which have the suggestive meaning that he raped the girl he was with by drugging her, while wearing Reeboks. I feel that Rick Ross should have known better than to even suggest rape in the first place, with or without Reebok being involved in the song. There is some common sense to what should and what should not be said in a song, and all because of a few lines, he lost millions of dollars because he did not know what should not be said. I think Reebok is right dropping him, because if I ran a company, I would not allow anything profound being associated with my company.

By now everyone has heard about Kevin Ware’s incredible injury. Kevin Ware had one of the worst leg injuries to ever happen in basketball overall. He had a compound fracture and his leg stuck out of his skin right about where the knee was. It is not hard to imagine how many people “were overcome by the sight,” not only fans watching at home and in the stadium, but even worse the teams playing and the coaches on the sidelines. I could not imagine watching such a horrific injury, I am already prone to getting sick at the sight of blood, so seeing that would not have ended well for me. Kevin was immediatly taken to the emergency room after being examined on the court by medics, but now the only thing everyone can do is pray he has a quick and full recovery, and that he will be able to play basketball once again.

Future is the best rapper in the game right now. Future was born in Hatai and he grew up in Atlanta Georgia. He got the nickname from his family because the called him “The Future” and that became his rapper name. Future became famous from his cousin Rocko. But at first he told future to sharpen his writting skills and pursue his career as a rapper. Then he soon became under the wing of Rocko. In 2010 and early 2011 Future droped a mixed tape including “1000 Dirty Sprit and True Story” that made him famous. Future has a son that is 12 years old and he had him with a girl named Jessica smith. Future is a very good rapper and he is making big record deals and making some really intersting songs this is why I think he is the best rapper.

Based on the story “Inheritance” The story is coming to a close and i predict that now that the main characters Eragon, Aria and Sapphia and others have reached the thrown room where the long living king and egg breaker Gal. has stepped off of his thrown ready for them as if expecting them there. I think that in the end Eragon will win or by some twist that the king were to win the story would still be great because the outcome will finally be reached. There is alot of questions that still need to be answered such as who will become the new ruler if the king is killed and what will Eragon do with all of the eggs of the dragons that they found. Will they train the next generation or will they hide them elsewhere so no one can ever find them. Most likely these questions will be answered once they get out of that thrown room and its clear who the winner is.

This week I read an article on a stabbing that occurred at Lone Star College in Texas. The suspect unfortunately was able to wound “14 people before being subdued and arrested, authorities said”. As I have mentioned in my past posts, this types of arguments can be used against gun control. Not only does this instance represent violence without guns, but it also shows that if people want to hurt others, they will find a way whether it is with a gun or not. I am not against gun control, but I am simply saying this should be taken into consideration before making any harsh decisions. On the other hand, the ability of having a gun would have probably increased the number of people wounded and would have caused multiple deaths.

This week, I read an article about a 4 year old child that shot and killed the wife of a Tennessee Sheriff. Apparently, the father of the child was showing a relative his gun collection when “the officer’s wife and young nephew entered the room. The child grabbed one of Fanning’s loaded guns off the bed and fired a single shot”. Before anyone comments on the gun control aspect of this, one must understand this was simply an accident and is entirely the parent’s fault. It was not a massacre or something that should be overly analyzed. There are other instances that can help the government and its people decide on gun control.
