My Batman
The person in my life that I could most relate to Batman is my Uncle Ba. He shares a lot of qualities with Batman like his beliefs of public service and giving back to the community. Mainly my Uncle gained these beliefs after he began following a new religion after my grandfather’s death. He tries to help whoever whenever he can and like Batman doesn’t care about social class or wealth. Every weekend he goes out and volunteers at our temple to help give food for the poor and he takes me along every week so he can help teach me those traits. So another comparison could be drawn between my uncle and Batman trying to influence the youth with their traits. My Uncle however doesn’t share the same courage as Batman but I think it could b said that h shares the same compassion and love of others as Bruce but also the same ideals becaus both want to make the world a better place.
My Batman
A person that is my Batman is a rapper named NF (Nathan Feuerstein). NF is a new white rapper that raps about his life and tries to tell youth that life isn't always what it looks like. In his song, "Beautiful", he is rapping about a girl that feels lost and is always torn to pieces by her long gone dad and torn away life. His message in the song is that she's beautiful on the inside and that he thinks all girls are beautiful, no matter what they are going through. He goes through these messages in all his songs by talking about his past life that was filled with depression and death and anxiety. He talks to the people that listens to his songs and shows them that we can get through the hard times as long as we don't focus on the past. NF relates to Batman because he wants to help the future kids out of this pit that they are in and doesn't want them to fall victim to others opinions or feelings. He shows people to focus on their own opinions and their own life. Although he likes rapping, it's more like a therapy for himself and he wishes that he didn't have to tell young people that their life is not thrown away. NF isn't very well kn own, but his most popular songs "Let You Down", is about him feeling that his parents are disappointed about him, but he chose his own path. He expresses to people that he chose what he wanted to do and succeeded in it, even when he went through all these traumatizing experiences.
My Batman
The person that I would consider to be my Batman would be my mom. She’s my Batman because she would do anything for me and others even if she is not feeling up to it. She always saves the day for me even if I haven’t been the best behaving lately. She is the biggest help to everyone especially to me and I am very greatful. She reminds me of Batman because of how caring she is especially to me. Every time I’m hungry she always fixes me something to eat or let’s me order something from Uber eats. Or if I want to go out with friends and my dad says no she will convince or just finding a way for me to go. If my friends need a ride anywhere she would pick them up even if it’s like 3 people in one day. I wanted to go to my friend’s band competition and it was like an hour away. She picked up me up from my grandma’s and two other of my friends. She then sat there for about 7 hours waiting for us and if she didn’t do that I definitely would not have been going. Batman faces many obstacles and so does my mom. She is definitely my hero for everything and would be my Batman.

Who is my Batman?
One person that exemplifies "Batman" to me would be Ashton Kutcher. He is mainly known for his acting jobs, however, he also is involved in many humanitarian movements. One of the biggest organizations he is involved in is called "Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children." It is a non-profit organization that he co-started with Demi Moore in 2012 to help save the children in the sex trafficking "industry." As of Thorn's 2018 report, Kutcher's tool (a device that helps track down victims) and the law enforcement have identified over 10,000 victims and exposed sex traffickers. He's been part of this organization for years and not many people know about it.
He is like Batman because he's made a huge impact on the world by trying to save current victims and prevent future victims behind the scenes as Bruce Wayne does. Batman did the same for Gotham as he tries to stop the huge amounts of crime and brutality with his tools. Kutcher once said, "You can roll up your sleeves and go try to be like a hero and go save one person, or you can build a tool that allows one person to save a lot of people." I think this quote epitomizes Batman because Bruce, Arthur, and Robin (whomever it may be) team up to build tools that help Gotham. I also think that Kutcher is like Batman in the fact that he most likely wishes that he didn't have to even build this tool to save thousands of children every year. He wishes that there wasn't a human trafficking issue like this. And, according to Frank Miller, Batman is a hero that wishes he didn't have to exist. Batman wishes Gotham wasn't so engulfed in crime. He wishes that Batman didn't have to exist, but he knows Batman is a necessity to saving the citizens of Gotham.

Who is my Batman?
Batman is a man of strong character, fierce and will stand up for what he believes in. He also doesn’t care about others opinion, able to stand strong and do what he knows is right even if others don’t think so. One person I would have to say that I see this very way is actually my boyfriend. He is fierce and doesn’t care about what others think about him. Able to distinguish right from wrong and have a really good moral compass such as Batman. Both are self sacrificing and care about the greater good of any situation. Sometimes this need for peace can get to both of them, bringing them down to low points or higher expectations of themselves. However, both are hard working and don’t need superpowers to make a difference. They are efficient, hard workers that can handle their own. They also both depend on others in their life to get them through the harder times. For example, how Batman depends on Robin to get through the trouble and make it easier my boyfriend depends on me. Able to simply call me over and have me helping him through anything. These two people/ characters and both strong enough that they know that needing help is not a sign of weakness. They are able to call and depend on these loved ones by their side, pulling motivation by even their sidekicks very spirit to get through all bad. Both are seen as the hero’s of others, although both have difficulty being understood by others, able to defend and protect what they stand and believe in no matter what the cost or plan they have to go through.
My Batman
In my life there are few people who I say are true heroes. One easy example I can think of is my father. Every time I am in trouble he seems to swoop in and help me; wether I need a hand with my homework, or I forget Mother's day is coming, he is there to lend a hand. Now, Batman is known for his ability to provide aid to those in need. My dad seems to always be looking out for others before himself. Much like Batman, my father devotes his life to doing good in the world. He spends every day teaching students who often find school challenging because they are from impoverished homes. Another trait Batman displays is his willingness to do what is right even when not doing anything, or doing the wrong thing, is easier. When my father is off work, his dedication to helping others continues. You often will find him rebuilding fences, helping a friend with home repairs, or preparing for his next lesson with his students. For these reasons, I believe my father is a real life hero.

Someone who epitomizes Batman in my life would be my mom. There are multiple reasons why she would be compare to Batman in the good and bad things he does stuff and how its done. As any person she would do stuff that were good in her eyes even if it was misunderstood by others because others won't do anything. There has been many acts that she has done in the life that I have been present to see such as doing more than others because many people will be satisfied with the requirements needed but she always wanted to do more than just by herself. To add on her morals was something that was never forgotten even when everything was against her such as Batman. Such as Batman his morals no matter in what it is his morals isn't forgotten even in combat with villains like how she is very frustrated or stressed on a difficult accomplishment or task of some sort she might get mad but doesn't over react to lose herself. Although Batman tends to do actions in a way that many wouldn't do she will also have those times. There are times that there is an extent of doing some stuff that aren't necessary, but it always help others like the city of the Gotham. There are many positive things with Batman and his choices but there is also some negative parts of him, but he always wants to do the correct thing.

Batman is indeed an interesting and confusing character. Yes he fights crime to keep his city safe but he seems rather cold and distant at first appearance, also his motives and morals are often questioned. However we see that he genuinely wants to help the people of Gotham and he's determined to go to almost any extent to do so. He's also a superhero with no powers therefore doing his job requires much strength and bravery. The person I would say is my Batman is my dad.
My dad works long hours driving all over southern California essentially helping people and some nights has to spend the night out of town. When he does get home he seems tired and unapproachable at first however when you give him some time to settle in he's actually funny and loving. I would say the same goes for Batman he's cold to anyone who first comes into his life but he quickly forms a bond with that person and is willing to do anything for them, in his case Robyn. Also my dad works long hours to provide as much as he can for my family the same way Batman dedicates himself to the citizens of Gotham. My dad not only works for the money he actually genuinely loves his job, he's always on his phone regarding work, and he sometimes goes in on his off days because "something always needs to be fixed or touched up on" but we all know it's just because he can't stay away from his job. Batman is the same way no matter how hard he tries he's drawn to fighting crime and being Batman. Finally my dad is my Batman because he's goes out everyday and does the work no one else wants to do or can handle so he can help people fix their problems and he comes home making sure his family is happy, loved, and secured.

I believe that an interesting real-life comparison to Batman would be Elon Musk. It sounds stupid, but after putting some thought into it I think I may be able to back this up. Many of Musk's business ventures have always had some sort of positive twist on them while using unconventional and sometimes even controversial twists on them. Musk had a large hand in the early days of Paypal, which became one of the largest electronic payment systems; Tesla, his car company is focused on helping the environment yet being luxury cars which made them very expensive; and Spacex, his space-exploring company has been conducting experiments and stunts that many people have questioned in a negative aspect. Batman also uses unconventional and controversial methods of achieving his goals, such as extreme brutality and disregard for the law against criminals. Both of them aim to do positive things while using methods that are not expected. Elon is trying to advance humanity yet is also very rich, and Batman tries to clean up the streets by being violent. Another way they are similar is how much the break the mold of their respective roles in society. Batman, a superhero, is very dark and violent, and doesn't typically resemble the traditional superhero mold, which is evident in his violent means, disregard for the law, and the way he causes high tensions with other superheroes. Elon Musk definitely breaks the mold of massive billionaires who try and seem "hip and cool like them there kids." Some of them, i.e. Mark Zuckerburg, feel so plastic and fake. Elon seems very down-to-Earth and in-touch with modern day culture. His dark sense of humor and overall "I don't care what other's say" attitude are a reflection of how unique he is when compared to his fellow billionaire personalities. However, he does have balance and hasn't ended up like Martin Skrelli who ended up throwing his career away by fully embracing his role as a villain who disregarded others. However, what makes him stand out the most is that in my opinion he seems to genuinely care about advancing the human race technologically (i.e. his environmental-consciousness and projects towards space exploration) and not completely focused on maximizing his profits.

My cousin to me is like Batman and shares many qualities like him . My cousin is really determined in what she believes in and will stand up for what she thinks is right. She does a lot of protests for example when Laud district teachers weren't getting paid enough she was there supporting them.She helps her community and Batman helps Gotham city. She is very stubborn especially if she truly believes that what she's doing is the best decision. She sticks to her beliefs and wont give up. Like Batman who fights for his people of Gotham city and wants to protect them in anyway he can.She hates when she hears about all the bad things happening in the world thats why she tells me that doing protests makes her feel like she's helping in some way. She wants to make things better and protests for her is a non violence fight but her message still gets heard. She doesnt agree with the way government completely handles situations. Which is an example of Batman refusing to work for the government even though Superman does he likes to do things on his own. Once she hears something happening and can help in anyway she does it. She likes to make change in our world and loves helping others. To me she posses many characteristics like Batman.
Who Is My Batman?
When reading throughout the novel, we see many different sides to Batman. One person in my life that exemplifies Batman, would be my auntie. My auntie alone has already faced some pretty tough times regarding her parents, which forced her to grow up early at a young age. Although Bruce did have Alfred to raise him, my auntie learned to be self-dependant. Flash forward to adult years, my auntie is prospering without anyone's help and I admire her for that. Just like Batman, I mean sure he has Robin as his sidekick, but he prospered in his crime-fighting without Robin just as well as he did with her. He was able to defeat the Mutant Gang leader without much of Robin's help. This is because he loses his sense of morality and starts losing control over his actions. My auntie is similar in a somewhat way. She would be doing so many things at once that she would get mentally stressed out, but then she pulls herself together and pulls herself out of that weak mindset and gets the job done. Similarly, when Batman starts to get too deep into his fighting he goes through that weak mindset for a small period of time, but then we see him pull himself out of it before he ends up killing someone. My auntie is someone who I will always look up to in my life because of her work mentality and words of wisdom LOL
Who is Your Batman?
For me, personally, my Batman is my older brother. Though he only stayed until I was ten, (he moved away when I was eleven), the years he took me under his 'wing' as his Robin were really great years. I think my brother is my Batman because he doesn't like to work with other people, he doesn't follow rules that much, is very protective, tries hard to do what's right, strong-willed and very stubborn like Batman. I always looked up to him because he took me everywhere to participate in his shenanigans that ends up with the both of us getting in trouble with our mom because of all the things we caused but it was for a good reason. A story I have was when our cousin got in trouble for something she didn't do, my brother immediately talked back and I was so hyped I joined in to prove our point and we were yelled at for being disrespectful. Whether we got in trouble or not, my brother didn't care as much as I did because, as he said, "If i'm doing something bad, then it'll end up good." I aspired to be as brave and good as he was when I grow up- even though we were only two years apart- so I was his Kid Wonder that followed him around everywhere. My brother never gave up when he aspired to do something and tried his best to achieve anything and does what he thinks is right even if it means he has to fight, which he didn't mind. If anything tries to bring him down, he stands back up, motivates himself and tries to do better.When I also got in trouble, he'd swoop in and fight, tell me to fight, and I would fight alongside him. He influenced lot of events in my childhood and he often told me that I should stand on my own feet because at one point we'd eventually grow apart and be annoyed at each other but he told me he's going to fight with me to the end if there was gonna be any other villain that got in his way. He is my Batman because even though his ways of giving a helping hand causes chaos along the way, it's still a good way to make the world a little better.
Who is your Batman?
The person who epitomizes Batman the most would definitely have to be my mom. Like Batman, my mom always is there to help anyone in need without expecting nothing in return. She just loves to help out anyone because she likes to see others being happy. Although, the main thing that I saw as similar between Batman and my Mom is that both of them have some bad moments in life. Of course, Batman seems to be more in that depressive state in the beginning, but my mom also went through some tough times. Even through that they both want to see others at their best, so that they can be happy themselves. No matter how many times something unfortunate might happen they always get better in order to be there for others. Both care deeply about their loved ones well being over their own. The main reason for them to continue with what they do is not much for themselves but for those around them. My mom is one of the strongest people I have ever met, and I don’t say that just because she is my mom but because I do see how hard she tries at everything she does. Also, how she puts all bad experiences behind her to make the best of the good ones that come. Of course there is that big difference that Batman actually is out on the streets fighting crime and maybe risking his life on the daily, and my mom is not fighting crime but she still is a very strong woman who does the best she can for everyone else.
Who is your "Batman?"
In my life, a person who epitomizes Batman is my father. Batman's parents died when he was relatively young, and he had to grow up without help from a mother and father. My dad's parents did not die when he was young like Batman, but escaping from a war torn country to America was hard. His parents (my grandparents) knew practically nothing about American culture, how things were done, and even the language. My dad also had to grow up with almost little to no guidance from his parents. That's why my dad always tells my brother and I to be grateful when he advises us on things because he didn't have the luxury of that when he was our age. Furthermore, my dad has a strong sense of doing the right things just like Batman. Sometimes, my dad's way of doing the right things may not be the best, just like Batman, but he's determined. Both Batman and my dad stick to their beliefs and don't back down, even when there is a blurred line between wrong and right in certain situations. Batman won't listen to people like Dr. Wolper and others about the controversy of his return. Batman doesn't listen to the police when they want to arrest him because he wants to stick to his beliefs and help others. My father doesn't care as well what others say about him, he just continues on to do what he thinks is right. My brother and I are always told by our dad that it doesn't matter what others say or do to us, what matters is that we know we are better than that and are doing what we believe is the right thing to do. As stated earlier, I believe that my dad is a person in my life that epitomizes Batman well, and I'm thankful to have him in my life as a "Batman-like" figure.
WhO iS yOuR bAtMaN?
One person in my life that epitomizes Batman would be Leo Roth in a way, but not to the extent of Batman's extreme actions. I believe they share similar thoughts and behaviors in some ways. I consider this 12-foot tall giant a Batman-like figure because Leo stays true to his morals, even in the toughest situations. In all my life that I have known Leo, not once has he tried to hurt me intentionally. This relates to Batman when he confronted the Joker, he was about to kill him but decided that he would be the same scum as Joker, and he would lose his morality which was ultimately Joker's goal. Both of these guys are able to follow their morals as a citizen of the world even when life gives them the hardest decisions. One similar characteristic that they both show is grit. In the graphic novel, no matter the danger, Batman shows his determination and grit in his action scenes, whether it be criminals or death. This kinda reminds me of Leo because whenever he faces a challenging opponent, like in tennis he pushes through his disadvantages, zealous all the way. And that type of mindset is what I believe both people have, being able to pursue an objective despite any disadvantages or problems that arise.
Who is a Batman?
Not everyone has to experience the loss of their parents, dress like a bat, talk in a very deep voice and go around beating up criminals to be Batman. But Batman does display certain qualities that can be found in people today such as selflessness, intelligence and is very wealthy to some extent. So in my eyes, one of the people who I see as a Batman like figure in the world is none other than Bill Gates. Bill Gates as most of you would know was the man who founded Microsoft and donated large amounts of his money to charity and scientific research. Bill Gates is a Batman like figure in that both invest their money in helping society. Batman invests his money in his science to develop his weapons, such as the gas he uses to make criminals relive their worst nightmare. Similar to Bill Gates investing his money to charities that help people in need as well as to help scientists push the knowledge of man and woman kind farther. Both Batman and Bill Gates could have kept all their money to themselves but they chose to use parts of their money to making the world or Gotham City a better place. Another example is that both Batman and Bill Gates use their intelligences to benefit the people around them. Bill Gates used his intelligence to found an create Microsoft which would go on to be widely used in the world. Likewise Batman uses his intelligence to create gadgets such as his bat-mobile, bat-a -rangs, gas pellets and so much more. Because of Bill Gates' intelligence Microsoft allows for media and news coverages to spread world wide and Batman is able to use his gadgets to cut down on crime in Gotham City. Batman and Bill Gates are not the same people but they have both demonstrated their intelligent and selfless acts to making their respective societies safer.
My Batman Is....
My Batman is my eldest brother. Like Batman he refuses to conform to the ways of others around him. Batman refuses to align with the government such as Superman does and my brother refuses to conform to the ideals of others around him. In addition to this both my brother and Batman will do anything to help out. Batman risks his life daily to ensure the safety of the people in his city. My brother will do anything to make sure that the people in his family are safe and well taken care of. Batman takes in Robin and trains her. In a similar way my brother took in my nephew and his brothers and is helping to raise them. Everyday he works long hours to ensure the happiness of his children and the rest of his family. Batman was looked down on by many in Gotham. However, he continued to work hard therefore saving many lives. My brother was looked down on as a student but he managed to not only graduate high school but also support a family of his own. The similarities that my brother and Bat,an share are mainly based on the love and compassion they have for the people around them. For these reasons Batman is Gotham’s hero and my brother is mine.
Who is your Batman?
Someone that I know who epitomizes Batman would be my dad. My dad does what he believes to be right, even if he is mistaken and it's not particularly right. Batman also does what he believes to be right, like punishing criminals to make the city a better place for everyone (especially for little kids so they don't end up like him) even though he takes it too far sometimes. Also, he gets to the point, as in, he doesn't wait for someone to take action, he goes at it himself. This is like Batman because he doesn't wait for someone else to go save a person or do what he has to do, he goes and does it as soon as he hears of something that doesn't seem right. My dad, like Batman, is also stubborn in his beliefs and what he follows. For Batman, he won't obey the government or Superman, he sticks to what he does adamantly. For my dad, he sticks to his beliefs on certain topics and even if my family provides a valid point he may still deny it and keep believing what he believes. My dad cares about people a lot, it upsets him to hear about shootings or violence going on, so he constantly tells us to do the right thing, to not hurt and to not get into trouble. I would say that this is a Batman-like characteristic because Batman, even though Batman hurts criminals, he does the right thing in the sense of taking down criminals and helping the city to be safer.

Who is your Batman?
The Batman in my life has to be my youth group leader, because she is always looking to lead the youth to the right path whilst being very humble about her actions. Like Batman, her intention is not to gain fame or money, but to make a positive impact on the lives of the younger generations. Bruce Wayne only came back to being Batman because he doesn't want the juveniles of Gotham to become a victim like he was. Similarly, my leader had taken a break from the group where she had fallen into the wrong crowd, but came back to guide us away from the path she had taken. They both are motivated to help others even if, they do not receive the amount of recognition they deserve. She really is "Batman like" because her actions always have our best interest in mind. Batman shows this in the comic by not conforming to the commands of the police, but instead follow his instinct even if it is controversial. People with Batman like characteristics do more than what they are asked of, and are genuine people. I am very grateful to have a Batman in my life, because these types of people are who work to help others reach their optimal potential, and are consistently there to lend a helping hand.
Who Is Your Batman?
The person whom I believe epitomizes Batman is my mom, referring to his positive qualities of course. Like Batman, my mom always tries her best to put other people first and help them in any way she can even if it means that she stops taking care of herself at times. One of the main reasons why I liked the character of Batman so much was because of the fact that he reminds me of my mom in this was as well as having a strong moral compass. While Batman tends to turn towards madness at times, that never gets in the way of his morals, like my mom. There are certain things my mom stands by and she always ends up sticking to it no matter how hard things may get, she never breaks her morals. Another one of Batman's aspects that reminds me of my mom is the way he looks to Robin as an anchor to reality whenever he feels like he is about to lose to his darkness. There have been many times when my mom has told me that I am her anchor and that I am the only thing keeping her from unraveling when life gets tough, I give her the will-power to believe in herself. Batman also sees Robin in that way, she represents the youth and enthusiasm, to save the lives of Gotham, he sometimes lacks when he feels too weak, she represents the reason why Batman does what he does. In the end, Batman was a good person who, like my mom, had many personal problems but in the end managed to take the good out of it and helped others who needed more help than themselves!
Who is your Batman?
The person in my life that epitomizes Batman is my big brother. My brother seems "Batman-like" to me because he is stubborn, wise, and takes action. My brother is stubborn like Batman because he will do anything that is right even if people tell him not too. My brother embodies the quality of wisdom because he has a lot of experience and knows what's best for people when they don't even know themselves. Also, my brother takes action because when he sees something that needs changing he will act upon his words and thoughts. My brother shows this by being an activist and is always speaking out whenever he feels it's right. He reminds me of Batman because he is always doing what he thinks is right for the people around him. He doesn't ask for permission or ask he just takes action. Some of the actions my brother has taken include: helping the homeless, going to animal violence rallies, and speaking up to strangers when they are not being kind. My brother helps the homeless and less fortunate everyday when walking down the streets. My brother also goes to animal violence rallies because he is a vegan and does all he can to support and help animals who can't fight for themselves. Also, my brother has stood up to people in public because he never let's go of his morals and holds other people up to the same standards. In conclusion, even though "Batman-like" figures like my brother can be a handful, they benefit the world.

Who Is Your Batman?
My second cousin epitomizes Batman in a way. I am not very close to her because she does not live near me, and she is not my age. What I mean by that is she is in her late thirties, and she has a whole family (kids and a husband). However, I do know that among her high school and college years she has worked so hard for what she wanted to be, a lawyer. She has been very passionate and had devoted herself to become a lawyer and she achieved it. I also knew that she was very intelligent. She took AP classes, was involved in clubs and extracurricular activities, just like many of my friends and I are doing. Her hard work earned herself a spot at UCLA. She has actually followed the same footsteps as my other cousins, and I would love to go there as well. Anyways, she has inspired me to keep working hard throughout the numerous amount of school years I have left. She might not be an inspiration to thousands of people, but she sure does inspire me to never give up and to become self-determined. Her personal drive, admiration and faith in other people, and her mentality to always believe in the good of others is the most important qualities that have inspired me. For all these reasons, I believe she is ¨Batman-like.¨
Who Is Your Batman?
A person I know who epitomizes Batman would be my cousin, an individual that dedicates himself towards giving back to the public. As a former soldier and now dedicated doctor, my cousin exhibits "Batman-like" traits such as assisting those in need or being charitable; however, all are done inconspicuously and under the radar. His sole purpose in life is to help those who need it most, negating from the attention, since my cousin views any praise as arbitrary and often unnecessary. Batman functions without the prying eyes of the media as well, performing as a hero the best when it's just him and the perpetrator, just like my cousin. With his desire to serve justice, my cousin parallels the realistic aspects of Batman and his persona, such as putting all of his efforts towards aiding the masses as a respected soldier and doctor. The quiet but intelligent characteristics of my cousin emulate Batman as well, since both men keep to themselves and their immense intellect. Batman, while violent, is also guided by his strong moral compass, distinguished by a boundary he drew to never kill. Retaining the same ethical mindset, my cousin also exhibits the incredible amount of courage like Batman, where nothing stops him from saving civilians from harm. The level of grit, will, and ambition that my cousin exhibited in the hospital and battlefield is unfathomable. He's Batman like in nature, with the same morality, ambition, and innate sense of justice, but would never push the limits of violence like Batman, let alone relish the pain of criminals or perpetrators.

[KC]: Who is your "Batman?"
Hi all!
We tend to feel invested in fictional characters because of qualities they hold that are universal and can be found in real world people. For this blog, I want you to write about a person who you feel epitomizes BATMAN. Why would you consider this person a "Batman-like" figure? What actions do they take? What characteristics do they display? This can be someone you know personally or a famous figure in our world. For the sake of conversation, I would like you to try to keep this particular comparison to a currently living person, no stiffs.
As always, you probably cannot provide a good explanation with anything less than 200-250 words.
Also, make sure you comment on two other people's posts with a response of more than a couple of sentences. Engage in a conversation. Share your thoughts. Talk to each other through writing.
DEADLINES: One post by Thursday, May 9th at 10:17pm and two comments by Friday, May 10th at 11:53pm.
Enjoy! :]
