Searching for People

  1. a. Yes mine and both my parents are on white pages directory. b. I could find my dads information on the people search, reverse phone, and reverse address directories. c. All the directories listed the correct information on my parents.
  2. I could not find my information, but I could find my parents. I think that could be good and bad. Good, so if anyone from my parents past was trying to reach them to catch up on old times that would be good. If someone was trying to get their information to hurt them then that would be bad.
  3. b. I think that the directories with SuperPages you can specialize a little bit more with them having couple different directories to use to find your information. But for the most part they have the same directories that white pages does.
  4. b. I first used Lycos a searched Wal-Mart in Lincoln by name and got their address: 825 Malerich Drive, Lincoln, Il 62656. Phone #(217)-735-2314 for the main store. I also find a map directing you how to get there. Then I used SuperPages and used a advanced search and just used the physical address and found all the same information I did at the other site.

Government

The site that I found is www.usa.gov . To join the Army and become a Army Infantryman. An infantryman is the basic fighting backbone of our Army. All you really need is your high school diploma of GED to join the military, and to pass the Army's physical before they let you join. You start out at Private E1 with 2 years experience your salary is $15,282 a year, but a Staff Sergeant E6 with 6 years experience you make $29,581 a year. If you want to apply just contact your closest Army recruiter and sign up.

Searching News

Both these sites Google news and WN networks are similar, because they both sites just talk about current events as far as the world, U.S., business and they both are very up to date and the posts are not more than a couple days old. Google news is more of a written based site to first find the topic you are interested in. As far as WN networks goes they are more pictured based find the topic that you are interested in.

Narrative Evaluation

I think that this site is a hater site. They are trying to down play and discredit Martin Luther King Jr. for all his accomplishments that he did. They try to portray him as a bad person. The author of this site is Stormfront, and this site I do not think is very reliable at all. This site is based on just personal belief and I think just stems from racism more then anything. This site just seems to be a white nationalist site for neo-Nazi. I do not agree with this site, because first off this site is just based on their opinion and is not accredited site. All they are tyring to do is take the respect and honor that MLK has made for him by the down playing the great accomplishments he helped with the black community during segregation. I think the goal of the site is just to make people racist more than anything.
The site was fairly easy to use and to navigate through. It was not very visually enhancing at all. The appearance of the site is very boring and dull. So I do not at all agree with what this site is trying to get across to its viewers. I think that the site is wrong in what they are trying to advertise, and I would not recommend this site to anyone unless they are racist too.
