Justin Bieber arrested on drunken driving, resisting arrest charges.

This article is about Justin Biebers arrest. He was speed racing in a yellow Lamborghini, smoking marijuana, prescription medications were found in the car, and failed a sobriety test. Biebers bond was $2,500 on Thursday, January 23, 2014.
This relations to all of the lectures that we have been given in Drivers Ed. We are learning how important drinking and driving is. We also took notes on how some kids follow into others footsteps, well if you think about how many people are going to be street racing now due to Biebers arrest. When people get a hold of money and fame they change forever, until they lose it all.


I feel that this article is very dramatic due to all of the reports the officers were reporting of what Bieber was saying. You may have money and fame but more than half of the time it all goes to peoples heads. This event affects me because, if it was someone else who was speed racing in a Lamborghini, smoking marijuana, prescription medications were found in the car, and failed a sobriety test they would have to serve time and get a bigger bond instead of just $2,500.

The author includes the language Justin uses to let the audience see how disrespectful and disturbing teenagers with fame can be. Justin says "What the f*** did I do? Why did you stop me?" after being pulled over for speed racing, as if he had permission to do so in the first place. This is why I don’t think teenagers should be aloud all of the fame and glory they get because they simply become crazy. Also they think they personally own the public. So now were probably going to hear Justin rap/sing about speed racing and drinking or even smoking marijuana. Which is going to lead fans the same direction.

Father convicted of manslaughter in infant’s death.

In this article it talks about a 24 year old man that was convicted of killing his newborn son. The kid had an  autopsy done showing evidence of broken ribs and cranial bleeding that an expert would have testified stemmed from shaken baby syndrome.


This article connects to my Creative Writing class. I have been writing about how younger adults don't deserve children. This is a perfect example of way. Young adults like this should be punished and beaten as the kid was to teach them a lesson instead of sending them off to prison for 20 years.


This event affects me due to having a four year old niece. Like I couldn't see her father beating her brutishly and being sent to prison for 20 years. This really bothers me because, you never know how many parents beat their child while they are young and never get caught/ punished for their actions.

The authors point of view is very emotional due to the first sentence being, "Shane Daniel Walls lived 120 days, much of that time in hospitals because of his prematurity and then from the injuries inflicted by his father." This shows how pathetic the society has gotten.
