Reflection on Types of Media

Internet News is unique about this type of media because it's more using by more and more young people. Over years, the percent of people reading internet online have increasing. In my own opinion, I think that internet news is the most important type of media today because most of people have internet at home. Moreover, it's cheaper because we pay each end of month.

Introducing Documentaries

Storm

I think that they had to be inspired by a socking story to make this documentary. They had to make up their characters to make the story alive because in their kind of documentary. it's really difficult to show the real people. In the documentary, most of the video, the image was black and white because of the bully. However at the end the image was in color like killing himself felt relive for him.

I think that the only think I would do differently in this documentary is how billy people felt when the victim killed himself because in some point, this act would affect their life.

This video is more connect to young people because it's what is happened in most of school in this country. I strongly was connected with this story because it's young kids whom played the same role that other kids like them are doing in the real life.

Book Club's Summary, The Color Purple

The Color Purple is a book about two sisters who try to find the way together through the atrocity men abuse toward women. Celie and Nettie have been separated by a man they thought after years was their father. After abusing Celie and had two kids with her, he send her in a marriage she didn't want to. Nettie was force to go to Africa with a missionary family because she had no where to go after being try to be abuse by Celie's husband, Mr. _____. Celie had learned to stay alive by doing everything people around her talk her what to do. Nettie always told her that she had to fight Mr.____ and his children back. Luckily, after everything Celie and Nettie had to confront each day, Nettie found herself with Celie's daughter and son. Over years, Celie finally learned how to stand up for herself. This courage came from the hiding letters of Nettie. Mr.____ had hided those and left Celie believed that her beloved sister died. She raised her voice for the first time and walk away with her head high. She and her sister inherited their house and store from their mother. Their stepfather never told them that the house and the store were for them. I guess he wanted to send them away and took all their will. Celie and Nettie finally lived together with her kids and Nettie's husband surrounding with close family. When I was reading the book , the story of Celie is a little bit connecting with Rihanna 's situation now. Because if the gossip it corrects, it was not the first time Rihanna was beat by Chris Brown. Rihanna stayed with him because maybe she doesn't want to create a scandal and has a choice. However, Celie thought that she didn't have no choice and she didn't have no one to turn to. No shoulder to cry on until she met Shug.

"Even though you have the trees with you. The whole earth. The stars. But look at you. When Shug left, happiness desert." This is a quote from the book. It is really sorrowful that no one loves you and with you anymore. Not because they don't care about you anymore, but because they're not near to you to touch and listen to you. That hurts so much when the ones you love are so far away from you. And don't have anyone to share what you feel. That's how I feel sometimes, because I don't have my beloved cousin to share what I really want to let out. However I'm not that lonely like Celie. I really think that Shug uses her for company because when she found someone she left Celie by herself. I don't think that was the way a close friend should behave to a friend who believe in her and trust her for everything she did.

I strongly recommend this book because even though the situation is afflicted it teaches us so much about the life. Like a proverb that my friend, Maria, like to say, "What go around, come around." That is one of the big theme of this book. No matter what you try to do to destroy a happiness, your happiness should also be destroy because you're not deceive no mercy from anyone. This story tells the life time of two little girls who didn't have no one but each other, but at the end have a lot of friends who love them back surround them. People that actually care about them such as they love and care about them back.

I Wrote On All Four Walls
By teens speak out violence

Page 39, "..., when you you're younger, there's so much pressure on you to become something, but you already are something then." This passage of the book kept my attention when I was reading the book. This is a situation most young teenage are confronting every single day. I could connect my life with this passage even though the storyteller, Don, has a different life style than me. Everyday, young people try to do their best. I agree with Don when he said that you already are something then. Each of us is someone. We have potential. We just have to explore them more to be more someone in the future.

Character Change

The issues my characters face in particularly women are abuse, inferiority in the society, deception, and games of life. All those issues are still in our society even now. However, it is now women who are the only victims, also men. Women are more strong than before as Sofia in the book.
There is a lot of discrimination and racism. The characters have to find a way to live without annoy any of the white people. Make the own style life.

November Blues
By Sharon M. Draper


November is a valiant girl who tries to face the consequences of her mistake. She had a excellent opportunity to give up her baby and had a scholarship to go to Cornell, but she didn't accept by the way because it was the parents of his dead boyfriend who was trying to take her baby away so they could remember their son.
I love this book because it is a mixing issue of youth and grow ups to. In this book, the story about a pregnant young girl who the parents of her dead boyfriend try to take the baby away from her pretending to try to get her in college. This really touches me because I understand the feeling of each person, boyfriend's parent and November. The boyfriend's parent just want someone to remember them their only son. They are so desperate to make their son alive that they took decision even without see the point of view of November, the pregnant girl and the one who has to face the abstruse moment of some students in her school. They don't even want understand her feelings. All they want it just the baby she carries. However, they are not so strong as I thought because the baby born premature and they don't want the baby anymore. The reason is that the baby may have some mental or physical problem in the future. This part of the story hurts me so hard because they left behind the baby they were dying to have just because she may not be normal. What could their son think of them where he is?
In the other hands, November is ready to take care of her baby no matter what. Even though this means that she would work or miss some school day. She doesn't want to give up in despite she doesn't get the idea to be a mom yet. Her mother is a big support for her without forget her friends. I think that November deserves to be with her baby because she would give her all the love a mother could give to her baby.

The Color Purple Evaluation

This book is really a book who could be related to many women life story in the 1900's and even today. The story is so deep and each woman could see a point that could connect with their life because in the story we have different kind of woman, valiant, timorous, decent and delicate women. Any woman could actually connect with the story because it is not only the story of a desperate woman. Every women are abused, but they have different way to confront this problem. Some face men and get as strong as they could. Some run away. Some are just puppet of men. All this to stay alive and off of men abuse. I could feel them when I read and that make me related about the women right because some fight for women and some were just scared to fight. Over the years, women didn't have any right. Life was abstruse for them. I could not connect when them, but I could use their experiences to build mine in the future.

Book Club Author Voice

The voice in my book is sound concerning, low self-esteem and fatigued.
A celebrity whose voice would be most ideal for this novel is Maya Angelou because she is so deep when she read her poems. She has a voice that touches you so deep in your heart and in that instant you could feel what she feels.

My Short Story Intro

Standing in the middle of a warm and the same time cold room, Ben has not comprehended yet which direction his life has been pivoted to. Over three weeks now and what they have been petrified just take place. He tried to see the dark room through the curtain of tears covering his face. What is happening? He thought mutely in the dark and laid on the bed near to him. Thousand of images defiled in front of him as he could just touch it and take his time to analyze the thoughts of everyone in the scene in particularly his mother, brothers and sister.

January 2sd. Ben always thought that this day is a very special and precious day to cherish in family. He knew that since he was born. However, this year has taught him the opposite of things. An Obscure day he would like to never remember in his life, but still he would live with this abstruse day until he leaves this world and go to meet him again to a world there are not gloomy but sunshine shining everyday. Even on his twelve years on this world, this event never ever grazed his mind even for a second. A day that his father would just evaporate in the nature without say bye and never come back. Of course he saw him again for the last time before he went to sleep forever in a bed not as usual. His father was just laid there, white as snowman and never said anything even open his eyes to see people he was there for him. Ben wondered why his father was in that state and also wondered why his cheeks were wet.

The Color Purple Resder Response Journal #4

I have intuition that "The Color Purple" is a book that is connected to thousand of black people living in Georgia to 1910 through 1940. This period was a period that black people didn't have not right and were sometimes ashamed of where they were and what white folks were doing to them. They had lived in a despair life of maltreats of people that thought they were qualified to be the higher race over all the races. This period was a difficult time for the African-American, however, those people had pride to vanquish all the abstruseness put on their way.

Sometimes I think that the author, The Color Purple, had been so hash to men when she wrote this book. However, I could understand what she felt when she was writing this book. Because time has changed back then and back then most of women, black or white, had suffered the matrimonial abuses and ferocity of men. Most of women didn't have the gift to stand up for themselves as Celie. And the consequences have been several to women that they began the puppet.

Celie is a brave girl. I hope she would keep this up. However, she has to stand up for herself. Fight for her rights not only as woman, but also as human being. Her father and her husband don't any right, any responsibility to treat women that way. I would like to read the day she would give some hot coffee to drink.

The Color Purple Resder Response Journal #3

Celie has to fight back against the unacceptable way her husband and his children is made her live. Kate, her sister's husband, and Nettie, her sister, always say the same time, "You have to fight them back". I intensely agree with both of them because she is an obeisance and decent girl. Moreover, she didn't even deserve that pervert called her husband. She has to fight back. Say that enough is enough. How come an magnificent girl like her has to go through and live with abstruse monster every time even when she is so hospitality girl.

The Color Purple Reader Response Journal #2

Celie is very a strong girl because even though she is the same situation as her sister, she wants to protect her as good as she could. She is more over energy of hope because she writes the dairy by starting by "Dear God". I feel depress for her because she is been rapped by her own father. The first day I read that, it made me so irritated that I could not believe what she was telling. Celie doesn't have a good education, however, she has a intense envy to learn. I almost cry when the woman who wanted to help her and her sister to learn came over her house and just walk away because of her physical appearance. There are a proverb that say, "Don't judge people by their appearance". And that what the woman did without even try to know the girl better. Instead of the educated woman she is, she should not behave like that because she is looking same as someone who never see words in her life.

However, I am ecstatic so Celie because she finally see her girl. And she really likes her even though she is the fruit of a nightmare.

The Color Purple
By Alice Walker

Based on the summary in this book, I could say that this book is about two girls who feel connected because of the same life experience. The image on the cover show two little girls playing together. I could infer that the two girls are very closed friends.

Alice Walker Poetic Style

Alice Walker started to read poems in 1952 through 2005. Three historical events she had been lived through are the Civil right Movement, the Independence Day, and Vietnam War.

Walker has a plenty poetic style. She wrote short poem contain few words but it is actually really deep and reveal the life of anyone in this earth. When you read through her poem, I can picture what she means with each word she wrote down. I think that she is very good in this poetic style because she lived through difficult obstacles. Her eyes problems and the war in her life is the cause of her deep and depressive poems because perhaps she never knew and witnessed so many violence.

Even though her poetic style is short, her words are very depth and relating in this world.

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why (Sonnet XLIII) By Edna St. Vinncent Millay

The theme of this poem is depression of love and loneliness because the poet says, "And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain For unremembered lads that not again ... Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one..."

This message is connected to me when I think to my beloved ones who had done of this world. Specially when she says, "Nor knows what birds vanished one by one." because birds are sign of happiness and if birds vanished what would give you this happiness.

Paramore

Paramore is a pop-punk group. They have been together over three years now. The group is composed of four people, one girl and three boys. The girl, Hayley, 18 years old, is the vocals, Jeremy plays the bass, Josh plays the guitar, and Zac plays the drum.

The group charms the fans with the first album, “ALL WE KNOW IS FALLING,” in the summer of 2005. Everyone in the group has his own jobs and I think that they are doing their jobs so well. Anyhow, my favorite is the girl because she moves so well on stage and has a sweet voice.

This is one of their sons I love. Paramore - That's What You Get






Lyric

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt, so much?

I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating. (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Let Me Live My Life

They always say that I am a bad leaf but they don't know me

Trying to follow what I say and don't say but they never satisfied

Saying abstruse words to me, look at me up and down

like I am some kind of beast

Then they would tell me what to do and not do in this world

I know that everyone in this world has his or her own life

to live, feel and understand

So who the hell are they following me as if I am an iron

and they are magnet

Why are they pretending to be the only green leaves on the tree

who don't have yellow mark on them

So to hell and let me live my life

I really don't care and mind about them

because I have my own story to share to the world

They may think that everything is not working clearly with me

but I am wealthy and strong as a mountain with cold snow at the peak

Why should they complain about me and try to show what is good

Whatever they do make me in an abysmal mood

Their foot step leaves dark mark every time they pass by

Their reflect is stinky food with a penetrable smell

that odor fortifies me, not make me fell

Just let me rest for a short spell

So to hell and let me live my life

Don't tell me what to be

I am not a part of you

And don't wish to

Don't tell me what to say

Let me find my way

being ready for my fray

So to hell and let me live my life


Explanation:

This poem is about people who think that they are perfect than other. Trying to show the good example when you even know what example he or she could be for you. So, I think the best they could do is to shut their mouth and let the ones who are supposed to educate you doing their jobs. Just stay back from your life and let you life your life the way your family teach you. No one is perfect in this world. They should get off of your back and try to fix their own business, not the business of others.
Sometimes you have to feel free to find your own way through life. Not just copy others, but make all you have leaned from your beloved ones and feel life.

Mother to Son By Langston Hughes

The poem is about a mother giving advances to his son about life. The theme is to be perseverance even though there are not light in your life. Don't give up and try to look forward. Life is unfair and anyone knows that. But there are so many to overcome to that sitting one the step would not help on any way.

The poet uses metaphor to emphasize their advance. To show how much is better to fight in life than stay there and cross hands on chest and doing nothing at all. The mother uses her own experience as an example to his son. Thus, the son will see the truth about her advances.

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou

The theme is this poem is never still persevered even though people make your life harsh than ever. Don't look don't, but up and straight no matter what you will find in your way. No matter what people would say and do to do. Don't loose your pride and be determined and perseverance in your life.

This message is very similar to me when I am depressed about something. So a short time I think that I am not good for anything. But after, I really hold myself together and I remind myself that life is easier like doing peanut-butter sandwich. I try to make that experience to do better the next time.

I connect this theme to other poem as Don't Go Gentle Through The Night, Mother to Son, and I, too, Sing America. All those poem is about perseverance, be determined, and don't let anyone puts you down.

Challenge Hyperbole Poem

Concord Hymn
by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some of example of hyperbole of this poem are "by the rude bridge that arched the flood", "And fired the shot heard round the world", and " Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,".

I think that "by the rude bridge that arched the flood" is exaggerated to show critical situation they were confronted to face. Also "And fired the shot heard round the world" means there were short of fire everywhere. "Their flag to April's breeze unfurled" shows how cold it was.
