#14 apple watch
I could see myself buying one. I do not see myself buying one as of right now. I would wait a year or two, then I would most likely purchase one of these. This way the watch will have new software updates and the glitches and problems will be decreased. Also I will have better knowledge of the watch as I have next to none right now.
#13 not guilty one week, guilty the next
Sarah Koenig took a weird slow approach at tackling the Adnan case. Sarah wasn't manipulative but also wasn't exactly fair in how she handled it. Example is how she hid something in the story until the later podcast which was pretty important. She should have included that information the earliest she could have.

#11 your small group novel ...should it stay as one of the ENG 4C1 4th R novels?
I believe this book should stay in the 4th R novels because it not only teaches how to deal with situations of mental illness but also raises awareness of mental illness in teens. The book can be seen to encourage kids to get help because the ending is good and the kids will believe they can go back to living life normal like Craig did.
#10 the end of your small group novel
Appropriate, because the main character; Craig discovers new energy to live life and not let his past miserable life continue him on a path that only is destroying him.

#8 Group Novel first half
Memorable moment from the first half of the group novel was when Craig was first notified of his mental illness, this had occurred when he went onto the top of the Brooklyn Bridge. He started to become insane and just walked on top looking at traffic before. No normal person would do that..
