Q&A: I started watching this show in sixth grade with my best friend, Brooke. Brooke invited me over to her house and started telling me about this new show. It was called Boy Meets World. The first episode I watched was really good, and it was easy to understand, since I started watching in the middle of the series. Boy Meets World is about a young boy named Cory Matthews and his “adventures” throughout his adolescent life. He has a best friend, Shawn Hunter. Mr. George Feeny, his next-door neighbor, is his teacher at school, and he eventually becomes principal. He has a classmate named Topanga Lawrence, who he finds confusing when he is younger, but she becomes his wife later in the series. His family life is interesting with his older brother, Eric, who gets him into trouble sometimes, and does crazy things throughout the show. We learn about how these people come into Cory’s life. We also receive life lessons through Cory’s experiences. This TV series started from Cory’s life in sixth grade until he is an adult. We get to see Cory grow up, learn life lessons, make friends, and try to become the man he is supposed to be. This show is really great and I love it. I learned life lessons and laughed at whatever trouble Cory got himself into. I also thought Rider Strong as Shawn was really cute at the time. The only thing I disliked about this show is, sometimes, they would change the background stories of the main characters and you never knew what happened in their past. I would recommend this show to someone else because it is a good family show, and it is really funny.

Remembering Radio's Golden Age- Extra Credit

Info: Person Who I Interview: Bunny Clark

Age: In her 80’s

How I found this person: Friend
Content: The other day I met up with my friend Bunny Clark, who is a friend of the family. We talked about the days when the radio was the only communication there was. Bunny started listening to the radio when she was nine or ten years old. Her family spent time listening to ball games, theater plays and musicals, Franklin Roosevelt Fireside chats, and tunes too. She talked to me about the radio and how it was different back then with less commercials, better quality programs, and better music. Nowadays, the radio does not have any shows and not as good music as it used to be. Bunny spoke about her favorite shows on the radio: mystery shows, The Green Hornet, The Lux Playhouse, some symphonies with classical music, comedy shows, a lot of the plays, and good songs. She wished the younger generations would remembered about the earlier days and how good it was back then with shows and better tunes. Bunny also talked about while a radio is on, one can multi-task and do other things with music in the background. It made a big impact to Bunny by learning about the world, and it was good entertainment. If she could changed anything about the radio, it would be to have less commercials and not as much music and have more theater and comedy shows. This interview I had with Bunny taught me a lot about the past of our history. She taught me it was a way of life and that how people got around. I did not know the radio had a very big influence on entertainment and gave people more time together in the past. Another thing, I learned was how there were no commercials back then. I laughed when Bunny talked to me about this. I could not imaged what life would be like without commercials. Nowadays, we see them all the time anywhere in the media. Bunny taught me how important the radio was in the early days. It was not only part of a form of communication, but was used to pass the time and for entertainment.
