Just a few days ago, I had no idea what Wikileaks was. This fact was startling to some when I revealed it - apparently everyone knows about it. For those of you that do not yet know, Wikileaks is international non-profit media organization that publishes confidential government documents from anonymous news sources and leaks. Top secret government documents are all well and good, but I want to invent a Wikileaks-like website for something far more important to the everyday American - A.P. English information.
This website, called APEnglishleaks, would contain vast quantities of confidential A.P. English material. Obviously, this would consist primarily of students' essays and data sheets. For the benefit of all A.P. students, everyone would have to work to obtain such documents, perhaps by stealing the essay of the student next to you as papers are passed back. Or by taking a quick digital photo of someone's journal entry. Students could also submit leaked future essay topics or Ms. Serensky's personal emails onto APEnglishleaks. This may involve breaking into Ms. Serensky's house, but it would be worth it - my classmates deserve this confidential information. For some, though, even this may not be enough. APEnglishleaks will finally become a feared yet respected source of leaked information when someone gets their hands on Thomas' diary. This treasure trove is sure to be full of plans for A.P. English coups, assassination attempts, whining, and secret Donley cooking recipes passed down from generation to generation. As A.P. English students, we are woefully uninformed - if people worldwide can see top secret government documents, surely we should be able to see Ms. Serensky's emails.
Alex, this is a very intriguing idea. I greatly agree that it would be an excellent source of confidential knowledge for all the AP English Students, but let's discuss risks. First, breaking into Ms. Serensky's house. Highly do-able, but could require large amounts of stealth spy and black equipment that radioshack could not provide us with, proving difficult. Second, Thomas' diary. If we enlist Shoemaker or special agent Schiferl, I'm sure we could have that in a second. Also, Jillian's ninja skills could come in handy.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I sign up? I mean let's face it, what's more important? Government documents or the prompt for an in-class essay? How many rhetorical questions can I use in one comment? I'm not sure, but shouldn't we find out? I mean, questions like that could even be answered by setting up APEnglishleaks. I bet even the guys behind Wikileaks would be down to help us out. Donley's journal is too precious to leave unopened. Anne Frank had a diary too after all. Keep up the good ideas Alex, I'll get to work on hacking Ms. Serensky's email
ReplyDeleteKreger, count me in. After all whats the chance we're actually going to need to know anything about our Government's secrets, now AP English, that matters. APEnglishleaks seems to me like a potentially life saving idea, I am not sure I could live next year without hearing daily readings from Donley's journal.
