Animal Crossing: New Horizons

-
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been the talk of the quarantine. The purpose behind Animal Crossing is you just chill out and build a cute little island and create a life. I remember playing and being obsessed with Animal Crossing when it was on the Wii. I would sit for hours in my basement when I was 9 or even younger, playing on the Wii and on my Nintendo DS. When I found out they were releasing one for the Nintendo Switch I was so excited! Some things to do on Animal Crossing: New Horizons are fish, catch bugs, find fossils, build your house, build different pieces of furniture for your island, hang out with friends and the list goes on and on. You can donate fish, bugs, and fossils you find to the museum and any duplicates you have can be sold for bells (money). You can use bells to expand your home, build bridges across your island, buy clothes, or new pieces of furniture that you can't build. Animal Crossing is based on real-time so certain bugs and fish only appear certain seasons and they do special events for holidays like when Easter just passed the game had a bunch of fun activities to do for Easter. You can plant trees and grow all the different fruits which sell for a lot of money. There are really so many things you can do and it really helps pass the time in quarantine!

Invention of Motion Pictures

Motion pictures allow people to tell stories and express themselves through images and videos. The mid 19th century is really when photography was introduced to the world, especially during the Civil War to document the battlefields during that time. An English photographer by the name of  Eadweard Muybridge took a series of pictures showing a horse in full gallop on October 19, 1878. He was hired by Leland Standford, who was a well-known horse breeder because he wanted to prove that when a horse is in full gallop that the horse will lift all four hooves off the ground at once. In order for the public to view these pictures in a "video" like manner, they were given instructions to view them through a zoetrope. A zoetrope is an old fashion way of viewing moving images by displaying a sequence of pictures showing progressive motion. There is a light in the center of the device and you spin it which depicts the "moving" image on a wall or any flat surface. After watc

Whats Covered by the First Amendment and What Isn't

The first amendment was passed in 1791. It states that US citizens have freedom of speech, freedom of press, and freedom of religion. The first amendment also "protects the right to peaceful protest and to petition the government. It was passed when President George Washington was first put in office, during his first two years.  While the first amendment  provides a great deal of protection to us, there are a few exceptions in which we are not protected by the first amendment. Just a few of them include but are not limited to child pornography, obscenity, true threats, and fraud. When using your right to freedom of speech, press, and religion "applies only to restrictions imposed by the government".  Today, people utilize their rights given to them by the first amendment through social media, during protests, and face-to-face in person. Over the past many years, there have been several controversial scenarios dealing with the first amendment rights not being prac

Covid 19 & Social Media

People are going crazy during the quarantine just sitting in their house looking at the same walls every day. The use of social media has increased dramatically since the start of the COVID-19 virus outbreak. Many people have been using different social media platforms to express how they feel about the virus, how the country or their state is handling it, how they feel about the President during this time and to talk about how bored they are. The downside to social media during the outbreak is that false information gets spread extremely quickly and a lot of people believe everything they read on the internet or what their friends post. We get information right at our fingertips in a matter of seconds which is nice to always know what's happening. However, people are more likely to panic when they are seeing people buy out the stores and post how scared they are. When the outbreak first happened, people were buying out all of the toilet paper and hand sanitizer in the stores which
