Characters...

One charcter that relates to Phil is obviously Si Robertson. Si is Phil's younger brother and also a star from Duck Dynasty. They both have the same personality and love to fish and hunt. Ond person that I think relates to Phi is Daryl Dixon. I think they relate because they are both "rednecks" and both hunt. In my eyes i see that Daryl is a younger version of Phil. Someone that I know in real life that relates to Kay, Phils wife is my Grandma. I think they relate because they both cook alot and act the same way from what i can see from Duck Dynasty. 

What real life issues are reflected in the text.

The main real life issue Phil Robertson talks about is not having enough money. He talks about this alot because he grew up not having alot. One thing Phil says about this problem is that even though they had no money they still loved each other and loved life. Another real life problem Phil talks about is the abuse of alcohol. Phil talks about this because in his earlier years he once had a problem with alcohol. Phil and Kay both say that when he was drunk he acted mean and out of controll. Kay said that one time while he was drunk Phil told Kay to take the kids and leave. Kay explains the constant struggle of while Phil was drunk. Some of those were not going to work, getting in fights, being mean and much much more. 

Krista Ramsey Introduction Activity

Krista Ramsey Article
This article is about Krista arguing that teachers and staff the schools should not be carrying guns.

 I think the line that is best written is: " It's unrealistic and, in fact, insulting to think people who entered the profession of education should be turned into teacher-law enforcement hybrids." The impact that this line has on the reader is that the line pursues the reader that Krista is truly correct and that teachers should not have to carry guns or have to use them because they are teachers, not police officers. I think that the diction in this line is informal and the sentence is long and involved.

I think Ramsey's writing style is journalistic, terse. A line to show her writing style is:" Here's an invitation to people who disagree with this misguided plan to attend the meeting and take a stand."

Question #1. Where do you get the ideas from that you write your articles about?

Question #2. At what age did you start wanting to be a columnist?

Question #3. Who or what inspired you to be a columnist?

What have you learned

One thing that I have learned from this book is that Phil was 28 years old when he was first baptized. This suprises me because I would think of Phil as a person who ha always accepted God but really Phil didn't want god in his life until he was  28. Another thing I learned was that Phil's son Jeps real name is Jeptha not Jep. Another thing I learned was that Phil and Kay got married when Phil was 16 and Kay was 15. This was very suprising because now in our society no one gets married at that early of an age. Another thing I've learned is that Phil Robertson went to Louisiana Tech for college. Another thing I learned was that Kay Robertson (Phil's Wife) would never drink. I find this suprising because Phil was a huge drunk before, during and after college and I think it would be weird that Phil would want a wife that doesn't drink. I guess that shows that Phil and Kay have always loved each other through thick and thin.

The most important line from the chapter is

The most important line from chapter 5 is:" Everybody got drunk except for Kay, who wanted nothing to do with the tomfoolery,(Robertson, 67). This line is very important because it shows what kind of person Phil used to be. In the chapter it explains how Phil and Si used to be completely different men. They used to be drunks that did bad things and all they did was get drunk and go hunting and fishing. It shows that alcohol is really bad keeps you from being productive. Phil and Si used to be drunks but then later in life they found god and had a productive life. As some of you have noticed at the end of every Duck Dynasty show they always pray at the dinner table. This is because The Robertson's have found god and are now religious. This line is also important because it is proof that you can stop drinking and smoking and doing pills and other drugs.
