When you think of Thomas Edison you think of I'm inventing the lightbulb. The real question is did he really invent the light bulb? I think Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb. The idea of a light bulb has been mentioned long before Thomas Edison was born. Alessandro Volta made the first practical method of generating electricity. After he did that he showed his Invention to Humphry Davy. he was an English chemist and inventor, he was the first person in the world to light the electric lamp by connecting voltaic piles to charcoal electrodes. Over time his invention started to improve. His invention wasn't all that good. The light will burn out quickly or it may have to be Bright. Also, we are thinking Who was the first person to make a lightbulb. The whole idea behind his invention inspired other people to try to build the same thing and improve in his work. Where Thomas Edison comes in he sees the problem where Davy went wrong in his work so he improves with his work.  Thomas Edison got the light bulb to work in two houses and many other places. There were no problems with the light bulb and they weren't too bright; they didn't burn out quickly either.  so you see how Thomas Edison took all the credit when it was Volta and Davy who invented the lightbulb in my opinion.

    Edison was definitely an opportunist. He had the means and network to do what the others before him couldn't. I use Grammerly and Ctation Machine for my posts. They are very helpful. Maybe you can try them out. Great ideas.

  When you wake up in the morning, do you grab your phone and go straight to social media?  There are a lot of people who do that on a daily basis and don’t even notice it.  We are so stuck on what we receive from social media that sometimes we begin to think of it as the truth. The article “Americans Who Mainly Get Their News on Social Media Are Less Engaged, Less Knowledgeable by BY AMY MITCHELL, MARK JURKOWITZ, J. BAXTER OLIPHANT, and ELISA SHEARER. Where it states” ...These U.S. adults, for instance, tend to be less likely than other news consumers to closely follow major news stories, such as the coronavirus outbreak and the 2020 presidential election.”.  This is showing us the news that is reposted on social media and we began to believe that it is true.  We see others posting about their opinion and we get caught up with other people agreeing, thinking that they know all the facts, in all honesty, no one does.  This statement also shows us that we rely more on people’s statement

The song stand by me has been remade in so many different ways but with this song and the video, it changes the whole perspective.  The song “Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around The World” which was Published November 6, 2008.  The main purpose is to bring everyone closer, but if we look more into it you will see so many different cultures, you will see they are all playing music on the street and all dress differently.  The relationship between the band playing seems as if they are connected.  As the song plays in the beginning you will see a man singing alone but also he has every instrument he needs set up to sing the song.  This is similar to the other band players because what they can relate to is the instruments that they are using and playing.  You see that they are all using headphones.  This was all recorded from one person, it took this person over several years to get this whole video done.  Just because they had to fly to every state and country that was listed

 Anhala Woodbine 1101 English  9/20/2020 Is Cheerleading An Actual Sport?  When you think of cheerleading, do you ever think of it as a sport?   I know I do, most people don't think of it as a sport, but it plays so many roles. When cheerleading first started, it was all men in the 1800s. They didn't allow women until 1923. At first, cheerleading was not a sport just a crowd cheering on a football team. Over time it started to grow larger, they started to teach students more complicated routines, stunts, and jumps. This event made All-Star a sport. They begin to focus more on competition and athletic training. Cheerleaders do so much we barely notice, they carry their teammates as they do flips, or even throw them up in the air. As you see other sports at practice everyday cheerleaders are there as well practicing on they stunt, jumps, flips, and dances. When it comes to competition cheerleading, you have to make sure you are sharp that your dance and stunts are way different f
