Monday

The lead in the article "Rockefeller Laws: An End in Sight," caught my attention. It was short and plain just saying "It took 35 years." However, I found the rest of the article boring and confusing. The writer didn't explain what the actual Rockefeller Laws were, and maybe it's common knowledge that I didn't know, but they could have briefly summarized why they are important.

Tuesday

Although I'm not a big science fan, the article about Charles Darwin stood out to me. His views have always interested me and since people know about him already I was curious to see why he was in the news. The article was too long to hold my attention, but I skimmed the majority of it. There was nothing new about Darwin and I wasn't sure why there would be an article about him. On Thursday I figured out that it was his birthday, so I came to the conclusion that maybe it was published because of that.

Wednesday

I really enjoyed the article, "At the Power Lunch, the Check Is Kryptonite." It held my attention and it was pertinent to society right now. It discussed the recession and how less people are going out to eat and who should pick up the tab when they do go out. Since I'm not really in the work force yet where I would get lunch with my co-workers, I couldn't really relate to that part where they talked about who pays, or does the company? There were some personal stories within the article that made it funny and light, a nice contrast to the depth of the subject matter.

Thursday

I love myths and I love articles about style or fashion. The Hand-and-Foot Care article was great. It was short, sweet and interesting. It was informative to people who don't know that you should never cut your cuticles or that acrylics really do damage your nail beds. I also love sleeping, so "Sleepwalkers, Take Notice" was fun to read. It talked about comforters and good ones from bad ones according to Mike Birbiglia.
