Sport Fishing Magazine

         People who read Sport Fishing magazine have one common interest- fishing. The audience of mid-aged men shouldn't have a difficult time reading one of these magazines considering it was written at a 12-year-old's reading capacity (according to the fry graph for Estimating Reading Ages.). Adding to that, there was a ratio of 5 to 3 for advertisement versus content space. More than half of each page was tying to sell or promote something. these ads were not irrelevant, though annoying, they all added to the content of the magazine. My magazine choice seemed low on the Reading Ages graph, and my predictions were correct. When I asked my fellow classmates how there research went, most magazines were at higher reading levels. Sports Illustrated and 17 Magazine had up to a 4 years greater difference than Sport Fishing. This could be true because fishing is a sport that doesn't involve a higher economic statues to play- therefore the people who buy these magazines must not be among the most intelligent people. To read The Sport Fishing magazines it does not require much knowledge to read, only interest in fishing.

Norton Lunch Report

                   Everyone in the town of Norton knows about the vast renovations the high school is under. Although it is "educationally sound, while being very realistic and conservative’’ as Kevin O'Neil, building committee chairman, said(Legere), do the students and faculty fully agree? Kevin states, on his own project update page, that they are working to update every part of the school: "The project scope includes the full repair/renovation of: windows, heating/ventilation, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, roof, accessibility, ceiling/flooring tiles, asbestos, fire/safety, classrooms, science labs, technology, gym space and locker rooms, storage, cafeteria/kitchen, auditorium, general space needs, music/bands, and restrooms. An addition will be included."(O'Neil). Everything on his lengthy list is very important- although they will all be noticed, the cafeteria and kitchen department are the most crucial part of a students day: "school meals supply 30–35 % of daily energy intake and provide an important contribution to nutrient intake. School meals are a part of the educational process in the life of the school."(Bartrina,Pe´rez-Rodrigo) To be able to garner what the students are receiving they need to be fed fulfilling, healthy lunches. Most of the students agree with their fellow student, Nicole Lacouture, that the new lunches are "better than the cold gross lunches" that were previously served, but "definitely still needs improvement". The majority of the students brought lunches from home, but their opinions on what they see their friends eating is not settling- Sean Mathew's view related to many other students: “I don’t eat it because almost every lunch someone asks ‘what is that?’”. Not one students wholeheartedly said they enjoyed eating lunch from school. Mr. Kefor, a teacher at Norton high, believes over the long term its improved, but it needs to keep moving forward. Another problem that is presented, that he also understands, is that there are “restraints against budget”. Although there is a  21 million dollar budget on our school, most of those resources are already used up. The school has done alot to improve their menu, from more vegetable options to whole grain, but sadly the most student cannot agree that the lunches were improved up to their standards.

Carli Arcaro

   Carli Arcaro is a 15 year old  Norton native. Along with the basics of loving high school sports, like volleyball,softball,and basketball, and professional sports, like the Red Soxs, shes a very interesting girl. She loves all types of music and describes herself as "spontaneous", shes always up to something random. She would like to go to Italy after schooling for the site seeing and authentic pastas. In her life, she wants to go sky diving, travel to Paris, and go on a cruise; " I want to see the world from all points of view". Carli is not only spontaneous, she is logical and passionate too. When I asked her what she would take if she was rushed out of her house in an emergency, she did not say things she would want, but things she would need; "a phone, money, and a sweatshirt... and food, you can't do anything without food." Also, when I asked her what she would want to do for the rest of her life if she knew she could not fail, she responded with a doctor.
She could have said anything possible yet she chose career that helps people.I can tell Carli is very passionate.Whenever I asked her opinion about something sports related she would get excited- in fact, most questions she asked me were about sports. I can see that Carli Acaro is a kind, intelligent, care-free girl.
