The first trend feature of the assignment was about the trend of mobile tickets.
In my opinion the author took too long to get to the point. At first I thought it was going to be a trend feature relating to sports.
My favorite quote was: “It was hard enough learning how to work my Samsung flip phone,” said Norm Gilbert, 78. “I have no intention of getting a smartphone. My phone works fine and I don’t feel the need to change that.” It’s my favorite quote because it made me think about how some older people didn’t grow up with technology and learned how to use it.
The second trend feature was about emotional support animals.
I thought the author of this trend feature did better than the last one of introducing the trend.
My favorite quote was “My family is a traditional Latino family, meaning mental illnesses don’t necessarily exist for them. That made it much harder for me to open up to them,” Orellana said. “Bay is just always there and that makes my bond with her much stronger.” This really spoke to me as I also grew up in a Hispanic household and could see where they were coming from.
