writing day 12


It’s kind of alarming how much more violence has become acceptable.  I have pretty young parents, my mom was in high school, and so I grew up with super chill parents and have been watching horror films since I was super little. But because I think that because of movies and video games trying to become more and more shocking we have sort of become desensitized to violence in film. When reviewing A Fistful of Dollars, Bosley Crowther seemed very alarmed by the minor violence displayed in the movie. He seemed to think that it was an “engrossingly morbid, violent film” with I think is quite strange because to be it was barely gruesome at all. It’s crazy to think how much the standards have changed but if you think about it so many things, almost everything, has changed since 1967

I read a story about how Hobby Lobby is being sued by the Department Of Justice. Hobby Lobby is being sued for smuggling Iraqi artifacts from Iraq to the United States. They were shipping Cuneiform tablets from Iraq to their main headquarters in Oklahoma. The family that owns Hobby Lobby is currently opening a museum, expected to be open in November, so it is likely that is why they were stolen. These actions break many laws that were put in place for the purpose of preventing historically or culturally significant items from being shipped through the U.S. Hobby Lobby is paying fines amounting to 3 million dollars to settle this lawsuit. The artifacts were being smuggled between 2009 and 2011, but in 2015 the CEO said, when under investigation, that some of the artifacts may have been illegally retrieved.

This post should reach 300 words." I was born in Rapid City and have lived her my entire life, my mom has also lived here most of her life. I personally really love Rapid City, in my opinion it has a smaller town vibe despite it not being very small anymore. I've traveled throughout the Midwest and the Black Hills are very unique. What makes the Black Hills unique is the landscape and climate. The Black Hills and Rapid City have a very specific small town feel. Despite not being a huge town rapid doesn't really miss out, we have touristy things, shopping and all sorts of restaurants. The Black Hills have not only 'hills' but also the badlands....
