Week #2 EOC- Erin Brockovich

In the movie "Erin Brockovich", a woman, who works for a small firm as a file clerk, and her boss team up against a gas and electric company called PG&E. It was a case that involved the company polluting water in a resident area around the factory, risking the health of many resident members. PG&E had also lied about the chemicals in the water, claiming that the type of chromium in the water was good for them.

When the company was found out, PG&E came to Erin Brockovich and her boss with an offer to pay $250,000 to split between all of the community memebers. They refused. Later on, they come back with an offer of 2 million dollars, but they refused that as well. After months of work and research and gathering evidence, the case was presented to a judge and a settlement was set. $333 million dollars would be awarded and divided among the plaintiffs.

The outcome of this case was quite fair. Considering this company's first offer was so little, I think Erin Brockovich and the team worked really hard and deserved the outcome of this case. They really helped the townspeople.

Week #1 EOC: My Voice

Fashion is an art form and one of my favorite ways to outlet my creativity. It is a way to showcase yourself to the world around you through apparel and accessories. From the style of my hair to the shoes that fit my feet, the way I dress expresses my inner being, mood, and imagination. Writing is also an art form and another favorite way to outlet my creativity. The act of capturing the words running through my mind and releasing them on to paper is a therapeutic experience. In fact, putting words together to create the perfect sentence is a lot like putting clothing together to create the perfect outfit. So why not combine them together? By lacing together two dynamic ways to forever get my creative juices flowing, I strive to live a life with a career where I can showcase my ability to write about fashion to the world around me. I've been told to write what I know, and I know fashion.
