Jump the Shark: Border Wars

The show I chose for Jump the Shark is Border Wars on National Geographic. The reason I chose this tv show for Jump the Shark, is because once you watch one episode you know what all the other shows are going to be about. Most of the tv episodes out, are all the same, or they take place in the same areas. If the show were to have different areas of the border, it would be alot more entertaining.
When the show first came out I was addicted to it because all the episodes were new to me at the time. The show was also entertaining before the Jump the Shark moment because the borders covered in the show were amusing, and the information offered by the CBP officers was all new.
The reason the show went downhill after that was because the audiences knew what was going to happen. The show also repeated information, and cases that had been covered before in past episodes. The audiences need to know new information, and cases that appeal to the viewers attention. Personally I believe Jump the Shark moments ruin quality tv shows.

Julius Caesar item

The reason I chose this item is because this rememinded me of when Brutus and Cassius were drinking in their tents. This was in act 4 scene 3. Brutus and Cassius were arguing in the tents, and they then calmed down, and Brutus asked Cassius if he wanted anything to drink. Cassius said yes, and they both began drinking, and the first thing that came to my mind was out a wine glass.

Blog Post 3

This article relates to the topic "Violence leads to more violence." It relates to the quote because the attacks on Gaza are only enraging the crowds to fight more. The prime minister of Palestine said, "We will continue our attacks until we finish our enemies off." These words enraged the protestors, and pushed them to fight harder. The reason I believe this article relates to the motto because the soldiers of Palestine are only going to push the protestors to fight more. This fighting could encourage them to fight harder, and possibly it could cause more casualties. The motto Violence leads to more violence is true. This article is a great example of why I believe the motto is true. Fights and wars only lead to more fights and wars. These battles will continue until both sides to give up.
