In this commentary I’m reviewing today is classmate Anairisprieto, Murder of Haruka Weiser on UT campus should shake us all. This article is about how University
of Texas at Austin immediately reacted to its students to help give warning and
identify the suspect that murdered Haruka Weiser. From my understanding the
writer has agree with these actions that has been taken over the investigation.
They
have provided evidence that shows proof of the University’s care towards their
students. In the end the actions that U.T. has taken has been proven
successful, as the suspect has been caught this April.
U.T.
Austin has at least over 70,000 students and informing them is important even
though they can’t be available to head count every student that was warned.
What
I don’t understand about the article is the title. “Should shake us all.” It
kind contradicts because in the article it informs how successfully it went.
Making an assumption that this article is actually gives off a positive outcome
when reading.
What
I find interesting about the article that fits better with the title is the
last paragraph.
“Although UT didn't
mention this but the Statesman post did, mentioned that this kind of stuff
distressing lot of women, who must look over their shoulder's in dark places.”
This
could be expanded more because it’s important to know that women should be able
to feel safe.
Taken
from the Statesman article they provided,
“Sunday night to
the female victim was likely to rock the feeling of safety and security on the
Austin campus and in this city for some time to come.”
This makes me wonder how is U.T. going to
react from now. Will they enforce more security? What can they do to make
women, yes women, feel safer on campus? Does this anger students knowing that
even though they pay tuition to a big University that they can’t make more
efforts of protecting their students? Will there be a larger boundary against
the homeless?
There are so many questions that are
left unanswered but what has been done in the past is done. What I agree about
the article is that the Campus did its job to inform the students and then the
Police was able to get the suspect.
I'm reviewing Grabriela Guadarrama, "Toll talk, we need a small loan of 30 billion dollars" article. Guadarrama's article focused on tolls and how Texas is wanting to build more even if it means being 30 billion dollars in debt, or more. Guadarrama focuses her view on how she doesn't agree with adding more tolls because of how costly it gets for us who pay weekly for them. She did a great job stating her opinion from the beginning and keeping that opinion throughout her blog. This story interested me because i never really thought of tolls as a bothering thing, but more as a better choice to skip traffic and go at 85mph. Although i agree with tolls being pricey, and the option of less stops, i don't quite agree on removing all of them. Mainly because if we decide to remove them and open them to everyone for free, tolls will be another I35 and honestly i wouldn't want that. Tolls have been a life saver for me in the sense that it only takes me 30 min to get to Buda and visit my pregnant sister on rush hour, instead of an hour and a half in I35. For this, i wouldn't mind paying my 11 dollars a month for the 6 trips back and forth to Buda.
ReplyDeleteThis blog was great in teaching others of the pros and cons of tolls and where the toll money that we pay each month go to. I agree with there being enough tolls and how tolls should lower on how many times we should get charged on for one road.
