Blog Post 9 -Suzanne Bachman

This article in the New York Times was very compelling.  It is about this man that went to jail, and while he was in jail he painted, and created artwork to show his feelings inside the jail walls.

The interview in this article is very interesting and really tells the story about this person.  Jeff Green was the interviewee and is the head of Connecticut’s Prison Arts Program.  He was quoted in this article.  

“That he had art, that saved him,” he said of Mr. Skakel. “That gave him a way to continually have evidence that he was who he thought he was and not who his day-to-day world told him he was.”

This really adds to the story.  This is a really good quote to add to this story.  You know from this quote how this man really expressed himself through art.  

This really is a great quote and adds personality and really tells how this man is, while expressing himself through artwork.

Dear Comm 160 class,

As just completing this class, up front right away people need to take it seriously. It is a one credit class, but that does not mean to not put forth a lot of work.  You have many writing assignments, and it can get to be a lot of work, if you are someone who waits until the last minute to do work.

The first quiz you take, you may get a little discouraged.  If you did not do well, do not stress.  This class will challenge you a lot.  This class is also super beneficial, and you learn a lot.  Even though it is a one credit class, you get a lot from it.  To succeed you definitely have to put in a lot of effort, and time.  Best of luck to you this semester!
