This is the Enemy

      My interpretation of what this piece of propaganda is trying to say is that, the enemy is not the Germans and it is the people who don't support them. They are trying to get people to think that they are the good people, and they want more people to be on their side. They are giving out, or spreading, false information trying to get people to think what they are doing is okay. Clearly, they are just trying to make themselves out to be the good guys, and not the people who are torturing others for being different. The audience is probably anyone who doesn't support or believe what they are doing is right. The audience could also be their supporters, and they are just sending a message to people who don't support and the people who do support. The creator of this piece of propaganda was reaching out to people who don't believe and people who do believe, to spread the word out even more.       How it's trying to alter ones perspective is that it is saying &quo

A Day with the Famous

I am quite a fan of many people, so this was quite difficult. I narrowed it down to two people. These two people are Johnny Depp and Kenny Wormald.      I am going to start off with talking about Johnny Depp. He is one of the people that I would literally die to meet. He is one of my favorite celebrities. He has portrayed so many different people, and I find him as such an inspiration. He has so many different characters, and he is just such a great actor. He is also such a great person, I've watched videos of how he went to a hospital to meet someone who loves him, but also has cancer. Come on, isn't that so great? Anyways, if I were to have one day to spend with him, I would ask to make a short film, explore downtown, with him, and probably ask if we can go to one of his seven islands! I would also probably wanna have just McDonald's or something, because I don't need a fancy dinner, to have a great day with him. He is one of my favorite celebrities, and anything he

Perseverance

      Now that we have summit, school has been so much harder. These focus areas piling on top of each other, it's like never ending. Summit has been very tough because, #1, I'm still getting used to the whole new platform, and #2, these focus areas need time and thought put into them, and it takes more than a day or two to get most of them done. I persevered because this is my education, and even though it is hard I'm not going to just give up. Of course I needed patience though, because to be able to have go preserve through something like this, you do need patience to get it done and tolerance to failure as well, because failure with this is not uncommon.      Some traits Nick Vujicic has is self-confidence, courage, and of course perseverance. How he had self confidence is because he doesn't let what other people effect the way he sees himself, and he also doesn't hide himself. He actually goes out. He also respects himself enough to not let anyone change

"Daughter"

     Many people are furious with this ad, because they feel as though it is anti-male. This ad shows a little girl racing little boys in a derby race, to show that men and women should be treated as equals, but this shows as though it is anti-male. This ad just supports the fact that men and women should be treated as equals, not that we are pitting men against women. The reason some people are hating on this commercial is because they think that men and women are not equals, and that it will never be true. It wasn't hard to identify that the people who dislike this ad are sexist. In my opinion, and I'm not saying this just because I'm a girl, the people who are trashing this ad because they think that MEN are being undermined, need to take a step back. Then, they realize how long women were undermined and not treating with the same respect that men were. This commercial sends a great message of women equality, and if you have not yet watched it, it is down below!

Best Advice I Have Ever Gotten

     I'm not going to lie, in my life I have needed a lot of advice and help to get myself together. This year alone was one of the years that I have gotten the most advice. Reason being, I'm going through a lot and this is my year to change. This is my last year in middle school, so I really have to start thinking about my future right about now. The best advice I've gotten for myself is to not try for someone who is not willing to actually try for me. I'm one of those people who really don't give up on many people, and I try my hardest to fix something that is broken, then I realize I'm the only one trying, but I don't stop trying. That's one of the reasons I've been hurt so much. I realized that, and finally took that advice. If I were to look back, and compare myself from the past to now, the difference is so big. It might sound cliche , but I don't think I would have been able to do it with the support my friends gave me. Of course I'm
