The iPhone 11 by Casey Coleman

-
    When I was in Kindergarten, the iPhone 4 was released. I remember a few weeks later my mom bought the new device and my siblings and I were fascinated. As we grew up, we got iPads, iPods, and eventually as we were entering middle school, we got iPhones. My first phone was the iPhone 5C in blue when I was in 5th grade. I was beyond excited to have my own phone like my friends.
     On September 20th, 2019, Apple released its new iPhone, the iPhone 11. This new phone followed suit with the iPhone X (10) as it had no home button and face id. The major addition that the iPhone 11 had was that it had three cameras! Many consumers of past Apple products expressed their opinion in saying there's no need for three cameras and that the multiple cameras make the phone ugly. Although people keep digging at the company's latest release, these critics have not stopped people from purchasing the iPhone. This weekend I was at the Rockaway Mall with my sister and saw three different shoppers with the iPhone 11. Apple strategically priced the iPhone 11 at $699 for 64GB whereas when the iPhone X was released it was $999 for 64GB. In my marketing class, we discussed why Apple would price the new phone so low. We learned that Apple made more sales with the lower price than it would have at a higher price. We also learned that Apple's next iPhone release will most likely be way more expensive.
     I currently have my mom's old iPhone 6S as I broke my iPhone 7 this past summer. Personally, I do not care what phone I have as long as it is functioning. My only complaint with my current iPhone is that it's camera is broken, other than that I am pretty content with my phone. Although,  I would be extremely satisfied if I got a more recent phone.

    I have a 7 and only got that when my 4 exploded.....I wish they'd last longer because I don't want a big phone.

    I have always found it interesting how Apple prices its products so high and yet people still went crazy and bought it. I mean i get why , it is new and everyone wants to try it but it does the same thing as an iPhone 7. Which so many more people would keep their old phones it they didn't break or slow down and lose battery quicker.

    I have the Xr and I like it because the camera quality is really good and it has more storage on it, but at the same time I liked my 7 better. It was smaller so I felt like it was easier to carry around and I also liked the finger print ID and the home button better than face ID and no home button which is what the Xr has.

    I remember in 5th grade I got a hot pink iPhone 5 and I thought it was the best thing ever. It's really interesting how much the iPhone has evolved.

    I got my iPhone xr last ear when my 7 broke. My xr isn't much better than my 7, but I do like how it does have more storage and a better camera.

    When I first saw the price of the new iphone 11, I was so confused as to why it was so low compared to the Iphone X. After reading your blog that makes so much more sense and I didn't realize how much strategy they put into just pricing the phone itself!

    I have seen the new iPhones and the one with two cameras is nice, just different. I still don't know how I feel about the one with three cameras because its kind of a lot. But, I like Apple phones and I love getting the new phones when I can.

    I agree, all I need is a functioning phone. I feel like the cameras are a bit much but the phones hold more storage which is a huge plus. Great blog!

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
