The O.C. is a very well known hit series. The O.C. stands for Orange County where the setting of the show takes place. The Series lasted from 2003-2007 with having four complete seasons.

The Characters and they're portrayal to the OC

Ben Mackenzie
as- Ryan Mackenzie

This character made the plot of this whole series. He introduced us to the Cohen family by being adopted to them after Sandy Cohen takes him in, after feeling sorry for him. Sandy met him by being his attorney.
Ryan soon falls in love with the girl next door Marissa Cooper. His well known saying to her in the first episode is " ill be whoever you want me to be".
Hes known as the bad ass of the show. Ryan was in every episode shot of the O.C.






















Mischa Barton
as - Marissa Cooper

Mischa plays a leading role in the O.C. She lives a rich style life in Newport Beach. Her character goes through a lot of difficult things with her family and her relationship. She is off and on with Benjamin McKenzie ( Ryan Atwood) in a relationship. Marissa also dies in Season three of the O.C. in a car cras h, so she doesn't appear in the season four.





















Adam Brody plays Seth Cohen in this show. He's probably the funniest character in the show, some stuff that comes out of his mouth is so funny, for example here are some funny quotes from "Seth Cohen":

I love the one from episode 5, where Caleb's young girlfriend Gabrielle is swimming in front of the guys, and Seth says things like "is it wrong that I find my potential grandma hot?"'
OR
Seth: Dad, those eyebrows are out of control!
Sandy: Lucky you...they're genetic!
OR
Ryan: Come here Seth, its only rain
Seth: I am a kid from California, I will melt if i go outside.
OR
Summer: Your Jewish?
Seth: Yes, thats why i feel so comfortable in this dessert heat.
OR
seth-"I'm a man now. And not just like an after your Bar-Mitzvah man, but a man man. I had sex with a girl. Summer to be more exact"
Ryan-"How was it?"
Seth-"I had sex"
Ryan-"That bad huh?

<-" True and Tragic " - there is alot to say about this picture, almost too much. You can tell it's real. It's focal point is the man, because it's blurred on the women.

<-- "We believe we can fly"

- this looks like a fun picture! I wish i could fly like them.

<- "strugling to survive"

- This picture makes me sad. It puts emotions into your head, and makes you think about what is going on, and thats a good picture.

<-"Sequence photo"

- Amazing picture, i wonder if anyone got hurt doing this!

It looks liek the water is in a circle around them, and the colour of this picture is spectacular.

<--"Beautiful Brooklyn Bridge"

- this picture seems to be a very good picture, it is perfectly in the middle. Also it looks like it was taken on a pedistal, how so straight it was taken.

EXTRA'S :)!

This video was showen to me by my friend Dakota Halfpenny. Im not usually the kinda girl to listen to this kind of music. she showed this video to me thinking i was going to HATE it, but it reality i LOVED it. I thought it was funny at the end, and good music. She was very suprised. So this video has made me open my thoughts about other kinds of music genres some thought that they're suprisingly ok.

1). Find an article written by a staff writer. Briefly summarize it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/21/arts/television/21emmy.html?hp
A) "Suprises, not sweeps, at the emmys."
- about the emmys. where it took place and such.

2.) Find an article that comes from a news service. Briefly summarize it.

- millions disputed when they took the streets to protest. When they were later crushed by the police and the armed militaries.


3.) What are the main differences between the two articles?
A) The main difference between the two different articles is they're from differnent countries, and they are seen as a different prespective, from both the writers.

4.) Find an example of a.) hard news
A) "MAZDA 2 COMING TO US IN 2010"

who= Jim S'ullivan, chief of the Mazda company.
What= the car is coming to the US, and says it's coming to Canada about the same time.
Where- Canada and US, coming from Europe and Japan
Why- because it's a good solid, cheap car and they're putting it on the market here then, so consumers can buy it, and then they will make a profit.
When- 2010

b.)human interest news
A) " A Promicing Life Ended In A Lab Basement"
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/15/nyregion/15yale.html
