all i really need to know i learned in kindergarten 2

http://performancing.com/10-things-you-learned-in-kindergarten-that-make-you-a-better-blogger/

In this article she tells you basic things you need to know to be a blogger.  This relates to the book because the book describes things you learned in kindergarten that you need in all aspects off your life.  As I was searching for an article I found quite a few that described things you learned in kindergarten and how they helped them with many things.  Some of the things she named were also named in the book.  The basic things you learn in kindergarten can get you a long way.  She included things that didn't directly relate to online blogging, like getting gum stuck in your hair. Although getting gum stuck in your hair wont become a problem while blogging, it also could be seen as what you put online sticks there, and wont get off the internet.  You need to be careful where you are putting things because everyone can see them, and you can't take it back after it has been seen.  I think this related alot to the book, and was an interesting article.

Wild Child

I thought that the documentary about Genie was really interesting.  I thought it was very strange that she was able to walk after all the time being stuck on the chair, although she was not able to walk correctly.  I also thought it was cool how she was able to learn so much once she was born.  It is sad to think that she will never be able to be like a normal human though.  The boy they found was also very interesting.  I was very interested to know when he got left outside as a child, and how he actually did survive.  They said that he was mentally challenged from birth, but I wonder how much worse that was because he was left outside to fend for himself for so long.  Both these cases were very interesting to me.  They were both also very sad and it is horrible to think someone would leave their child to suffer like that.

How Reliablle is Our Memory for Our Own Previous Intentions

I think that when they were asked later they felt uninclined to answer the question correctly.  when people just bought the CD i think that they were probably just more excited and eager to answer the wuestions.  I think that when the questions they asked weren't revelant to what was goingon in thir life at that time they were less interested and didn't try to recall the day they bought the cd.  I also think it was dumb someone tried to sue eminem because people listen to eminem more than him, and probably didn't even notice their songs were similar
