Your essay was very interesting! I enjoyed reading it and the idea of the media making things dramatic and if their was no such thing as the media we wouldn´t be held back from so many things, I totally agree.

I liked your take on how media makes everything more dramatic than it has to be just for entertainment purposes. I also liked how you conquered the fear of snakes you had from watching things in the news

This was really fun to read! I agree with you when you say that the media makes things seem frightening when they could actually be really nice. The media can be a bad system. Overall, I liked the fact that you conquered your fear of snakes! It feels good to extinguish fear, doesn't it?

I really loved reading your essay. It really got me thinking about how media influences our ideas of things and often times holds us back from experiencing new things. It's also really cool how you were able to get past your fear pretty much instantly and allow yourself to feel comfortable holding the snake.

I loved that essay. I loved how you added a dramatic sense while you were ready to pick up the snake.

It's scary how much the media tries to trick us, and how badly we fall for them things. That is why I choose to stay away from TV. We are a nation controlled by the media, believe it or not.

I really enjoyed reading your essay! I think the idea of not letting the media give certain perseptions that can alter going into cool situations is extremely relevant to many situations. I'm glad you looked past your fear and realized how cool it was to hold a snake. I really like the details you added about your change in mindset as well.
