PROPANGANA


     This piece of Nazi propaganda is showing how Adolf Hitler is showing open arms to the youth. Then tended audience may be parents or kids themselves to show that Nazism is to support. It's showing an innocent side of Adolf Hitler which may alter someone perspective by showing that he's the good guy. Due to this, this can be extremely effective and can support Nazism by growing supporters since they seem to focus on the youth. In my opinion, this is just smart advertising in a way. I don't agree with Nazism no way or fashion but they do have a smart way of gathering supporters however by focusing on the public audience.

Celeb I would like to chill with

     If I had the opportunity to hang out with a celebrity or famous person, then I would have to choose Sir Bobby Bryson Hall II aka Logic the rapper. I chose him to hang out with because he honestly just feels like a chill guy to play video games with or pool or talk about music or something like that. I follow him on social media and he likes the same geeky stuff that I like such as videogames or movies. Maybe an interaction we would have would be how he can help me improve on solving a Rubik's cube so I can become faster and more consistent as well. He's also really dedicated to his fans and talks to them like a normal person and not like he's self centered. Some question I would have for have for him would be about his new album coming out in the fall and just to ask about inspiration for the album or how's it coming along. Overall, Logic seems like a really chill, normal dude to hang out with for a while and get to know more about him.

15 that makes me HAPPY

Happy moments occur to all of us. Some of these moments, for me, include:

  • Coming home from school to find one of my favorite lunches prepared 
  • Finishing all my school work before a long weekend to enjoy
  • There just being enough ice cream to go with my pie
  • Watching a movie in class 
  • Beautiful weather that I can enjoy with family and friends
  • Having just enough money for that gift I wanted
  • Getting everything I had on my Christmas list
  • The radio plays a long streak of my favorite songs
  • Dropping my phone thinking it'll be damaged, just to find no scratches on it
  • Finding that stash of old toys in the attic and bringing back memories from the past
  • My parents saying yes to a game I want
  • Being acknowledged for the chores I do
  • Winning a close basketball game 
  • My favorite team winning a championship (cubs)
  • Beating an extremely difficult video game. It's so satisfying!

Disclaimer: The structure of this blog post isn't a top 15 list but instead I'm just listing 15 things that make me happy. That's because making a top 15 was honestly hard to determine which one is better than another.

Perseverance

      Recently, my class watched a a short, encouraging video which revolved around the true life of a man with no limbs. He explained his struggles, when he was younger, when he had a lot of self doubt. He strived through it however, and grew self respect and confidence to live through and not give up despite being incapable of many things by default. He did these things by believing in himself. This connects to my time when I persevered just at a much larger scale. In ELA, we had a previous essay that we had to do. Now I was confused pretty much the whole, long unit until the last couple weeks. So it was a big struggle to write. I ended up writing a long, thought out essay that took about 6 hours.

Favorite Super Bowl commercial

     I personally am not a fan of American football but the super bowl gives me a weird exciting feeling, especially the commercials. This year had a lot of powerful super bowl commercials that I mostly agree with, however, the ad for the the Nintendo Switch was my favorite this year. The Nintendo Switch, for those who don't know, is the new Nintendo console coming out on March 3rd. The reason why this was my favorite is because it introduced my mother to the Switch and her reaction was mostly positive. My father already knew about it and was saying how cool and innovative it looked. Hopefully this persuades my mother to help me buy it since she was loooing impressed by how it's a hybrid console that can be played at home and on the go.

Best Advise

     The best advice I ever received has to be from my mom when she told me numerous times, when I was younger, that my parents aren't made out of money. When hearing this back then, I didn't think much of it until I got older. I was, however, able to interpret what she meant, and I eased off on what I did in order to lower the electricity or water bills. Now that I'm older, I took that advise even further and have been really careful with wasting food, electronics usage, and water usage by turning off lights in rooms that no one is occupying and making sure food doesn't go to waste and stuff like that. I plan on telling my future kids that same advice since it helped me and I hope it helps them.
