Summary: Chris Reilly was a popular dance photographer and he has taken pictures of dancers from coast to coast. Even some of my friends at school have had photoshoots with him. This past week, he was convicted on accounts of having downloaded and paid for child pornography. His next appearance in court will be on this coming Tuesday.
Analysis: This article was published on Friday, February 3rd, 2017. This is quite shocking as he was an extremely popular photographer, but it's crazy to think about. However, he has a family and a big business, and after this it's going to be extremely challenging to for him to get back into it. I think the main idea of this article is just to inform people about the situation and get people to realize and be cautious of others.
Synthesis: You could strongly synthesize this to political bosses of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, who are somewhat leading a double life. They are good and look nice on the outside, but have rotten qualities on the inside. Same with this guy. I still can't believe this.

Yikes! I agree with what you said about looking good on the outside, but having bad qualities on the inside. If anything, this article will encourage people to be more aware of potential dangers around them.
ReplyDeleteSome of my best friends have had multiple photoshoots with Chris Reilly. In fact, I almost did! It's crazy how someones life can get ruined so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThis article, and previous events have really opened up my eyes to the kind of people in our world, and I like how you tied it back to the gilded age!
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets the punishment he deserves if he is actually guilty. Glad he was caught.
