Internship Talk

           Most of the internships had to do with someone sitting down behind a computer. I am looking for an internship that is fun and not boring. Something that interests me like interning at a record label or something under the Music Producing/Recording field. I thing none of them painted a picture for me about the internship because to me they didn't have any relationship to the internship in my opinion.

Suheir Hammad & Marjane Satrapi on War pt 2

           The book defines revolution because Marjane is always standing up for her race. Shes saying just because some muslums did terroist acts doesn't mean all muslums are like that. She is trying to justify her race just like the poet. The poet is trying to get respect for the muslums all over. She just like Marjane is trying to show everyone that just cause some muslums attacked the USA doesnt mean that all of them are terriost. The poet is saying that people hope for the destruction of the muslum people when they didn't even do anything.

Suheir Hammad & Marjane Satrapi on War

          "I will not hate for you or even hate you." these quotes from the poems struck me because she is saying she wont stoop down to there level. She wont even give them the time of day. "I will not kill for you or die for you." This struck me because she is saying she wont fight there battles. She will not give her life for them. "I will not forget where i come from." This struck me because not very many people remember where they come from and don't even know their families history.

          A similarity that really stood out was that at the end when the poet referred everything to smoke that reminded me of Marjane and how she always smoked. Rarely she wouldn't smoke. What struck me about the book and the poet is that they both talk about destruction. They talk about war and violence. They talk about bombs and smoking. They talk about a life of struggle.

Street Art

1. Things I noticed were that not all artists had the ability to draw but that didn't stop them.They all had a passion for the art they were doing. All the art they were doing was "wrong" and illegally done. They all conveyed some sort of message in a creative way.
2. Things that amazed me about the artist's work was that no matter how big it was they got it up fast and neatly. Another thing that amazed me was how smart they are because they can find their way up a building that seems impossible to climb. I was amazed by how creative the artist's got. They though of the most creative and unthinkable ways to portray a message.
3. I honestly am not sure what the message they are trying to convey is. For the artists in the documentary I think it was more like it was just their passion and what they liked to do. Like they said in the documentary street art wasn't and never was about the money. It's just something the enjoyed doing and still enjoy doing today.

Political Cartoon

This  picture the government pointing a weapon at the people. The people are locked by a device on their head. Showing that they are under the control of the government. This picture means that the  government is really the ones who are above everyone no matter how equal people are. This relates to Harrison Bergeron because the handicaper general aka the government was in charge and above everyone in the equal world.

The Metamorphosis chapter 3

             He terned the main character into a bug to show how some people live life for a purpose and they are just ignored and taken for grantit. For example Gregor was working to pay off his fathers debt. When his father had enough money to pay of his own debt he didn't tell Gregor. I think this is because Gregor's father wanted lots of money. When he was turned into a bug he was mostly ignored by his father.
             I think he used a roch instead of a frog because he wanted to show how people were ignored. Just as roches are ignored in real life. Also because a roach is repulsive. He wanted to show how just because someone changes that they are atomaticlly judged. He wasn't tying to make the animal a frog so that it would be something people think is cute.
