Review of Fights at school


Fights at School has a very intriuging introduction. It starts off with juicy gossip about fights that happened in school which definately supports the fact that many enjoy watching or talking about fights. The situations that the speakers talked about were similar. Most of the fights they had witnessed were due to dating conflict. I was blown away when I heard that students could get suspended for even watching a fight. That was a strong point in this piece. When Megan Haller interviewed some of the students I found what they had to say was real and very opinionated. One speaker said, "I think after all the work we do we should be able to sit down and watch a good fight?. That to me was funny and very honest. Perhaps the piece would have been a bit stronger if some of the speakers were actually students who had fought in the school and talked about that specifically. Overall this piece was well done and interesting to listen to.
