artifact and explination


How much is your life worth and how important is it. This is my critical question before revision I still feel like this questions is a good one. Even coming from my peers they say its pretty good. How much is life worth with your importance in life. Iam stuck between the two I feel like it’s a good topic to work on but I don’t want others to have one similar. Other than that my artifacts could be a football but as mrs green stated that would probably be boring. My other atifacts would be the movie blindside, certain family issues, scholarship money,underarmour sponsorship, espn channel, a football ring, sports coverage, local news coverage, the actual question is personal to me. It concerns all athletes. Has many answers in different cases. And its not too broad or specific. The one artifact I want to write about is the movie the blindside. Because as stated before I have a lot of  family issues and that made me feel like my life was worth nothing to anyone except for football. In the movie micheal has a family willing to help him succeed in life. This is not only similar to me but any athlete that has a “second family” that’s willing to help that person. Im not the only person like that. Another reason is that the movie was really popular. Millions of people saw it and more than a few like me can relate to it. I actually have a couple of people that are not related to me that helped me with a lot. And there familys were so accepting in the matter. Like micheal in the movie this gave me hope about my lifes worth and importance to others. By the way my middle name is also micheal. But  when im say life importance I mostly mean that not in a sense of money terms but of how others value you and your importance to them. Im pretty sure now that micheal is in the national football league more people pretend to be his friend or “care” for him. Either because he has money or is now famous. His social importance is now greater than it was before. What about all the people that were there when he was struggling they were no where to be found. Now they want to try and use him. This subject and matter very specifically retains to me this is almost what exactly happened to me. Which is why I want to use this movie as my artifact. Ounce I was no one know im every persons “bestfreind”. Its really confusing and annoying to have this problem. The sad part is that its life

  1. I think you have a good question. I really like how you phrased it in your second blog post: what is the difference between what your life is worth and your life importance. i think the Blindside movie is a great way to investigate this question and connect to your life. It sounds like you have some really powerful stories to tell and I'm excited to read them.
