Image Connection To Red Scarf Girl

My Image connects to The Red Scarf Girl because it shows Chairman Mao in a photo and 


people standing around it, which shows how much they love him and what he does. In the 


book Ji-Li tells how much Chairman Mao is loved by herself and everyone around her. In 


china they were all raised up on communism and equality, and thats what Chairman Mao 


belived. He was like the presedent to them and they loved him to the point that when he 


spoke at events and meetings people would begin to get teary eyed and they would 


tremble at the sight of him. Thats how much he was loved and thats what this picture 


shows. Ji-Li and the other china citizens treated him like he was god! They really did. What 


ever Mao said went, I don't even think people had a choice weather to love Mao or not. 

G.P.A

I discovered that my grade point average was not as great as i expected it to be. It was over a 2.0 which means its a good g.p.a but i dont want to be in a 2 catagory i perfer to be in a 3. I was very disapointed by what i saw. I am currently trying to get my grades back to how they were so i can at least get back to how i was before, right now im trying to get my grades to at least a B- because im trying to strive to be better. Its hard but im going to try and do my very best and remember how this can help me in my future, because i have so many dreams.YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!I learned that one of the schools i was thinking about going to "Rider University" has many scholarships that are offered to students with a 2.5 or higher and i had a 2.3 from my caculations. I plan to improve big time! There was one school i heard about and i cant think of the name of it but it isa really good music school that i might want to go to, i know for a fact that the average g.p.a you need to have for that school is a 2.5 and im working on that. Even though the school i want attend requires me to have a 2.5 im still going to strive for better becuase i know i can do better thatn that. My next step is to of course do better, im going to try and focus more on my school work rather than other things. I need to focus more on myself and my school work more than others and what they are doing. When im not focus on my work that is when the distraction comes into play and i start to drift off. Im definatly seeing a change in myself and how i work, last semester i had good grades and this semester my grades dropped a tad bitand im working on get them up and i belive with hardwork and determination i can do just that.

Internship

What struck me most was that all of the interns said that what you learn durring internship will stick with you

forever. They said that you will remember this expeirience for the rest of your life, and its somthing you have

to prepare for. They also said that when you are approaching internship year (11th grade) that you should

look for your internship durring the summer because it helps, because all the internship opportunitys go by

fast.

In an internship i look for somthing that is going to help me in the real world. I also look for somthing that will

benifit me towards my future and goals. I look for an internship that will cordinate with what i want to persue

in life. One of the girls on internship talked about how she interned for a makeup artist company. She said

that what painted a picture for her was the interview that was a sucess by way of herself.

Suheir and Marjane pt 1

The connection between Suheir and Marjane is how she spoke of war. Suheir said smoke smoke smoke.

Which is what tide in to Marjanes life. Her whole poem was on war. Its as if she took you to iran in her

poem. My favorite part is when Suheir says smoke,smoke,smoke. Because it shows how after the bomb

hits it smokes. Suheir takes us there. Suheir must be from somewhere similar to iran. She spoke of it as if

she were in iran. Marjanes life kinda tied in with Suheirs speech, it almost sounded as if it was coming out

of Marjanes mouth. I could picture myself in Iran as she spoke, like she was telling a very long and detailed

story. It was very good.

Suheir and Marjane Pt 2

I think that Suheir was declaring war by how she was using her words. Many times Suheir said "These

motherfuckers ask me do i knw the terrorist. Because of my color." I think Suheird was declaring war on that

part because she hates the racism going on. Just because of her color...Thats messed up. Suheir mentioned

alot of death, and i think that she declared that a revolution. She said her brothers and sisters are being killed

and thats where the war ties in. Ther revolutionary is Suheir.

In Marjanes case. The revolution in the book was quite obvious. The sudden wearing of the veils, the

protest, the new strict laws. The war came from the numerous amounts of people ready to fight for their

rights. The revlutionary is not only one person but its all of the people ready to fight for their rights.

Islam

My partner and i got the topic of islamic holidays. There are two main holidays in the Islamic culture, There is

Eid Al Fitr and Eid Ul Adha. On Eid Al Fitr, it marks the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is the Fasting Period.

When people attend the Celebration they Exchange gifts, they have a humungus feast, They wear nice

clothing, and they have prayer. Durring these celebrations they eat Shirkhoma a sweet desert made of nuts.

Durring Eid Ul Adha, They honor The sacrifice of the prophet abraham. Abraham sacrificed his son Ishmael

and They belive that go sent a lamb to his sons place as a reward for Abraham, being great. The islams kill

lambs and feed to the poor and less fortunate. The islams also have a community prayer durring Eid Ul Adha.

"Sri Lanka Current Events"

My countrie is Sri Lanka and it is a little island outside of asia. Since Sri Lanka is a island it has no bordering

countries. In the Suri Lankan onlne news paper i read a very intresting article. It was about the Suri Lankan

minster of education. Dissandyke (the minister of higher education) offered an oppourtunity of a lifetime. He

promisd a free laptop to any of the higher Education students and the students attending a four year

university. This was a big suffer for this countrie because they dont make that much money. But the minister

noticed that the young adults and teenagers needed to be awarded for there work and determination towards

school.

Government type: Repblic

"STREET ART"

I think that the art that banksy can be transferd into my own work in many ways. The way he

made many collauges to make up one image is cool, i could see myself doing that. I could see

myself doing a recreation of an "old school" game like space invaders, but not an exact replica

of banksy's but maybe pac-man. His work can be recreated many times in many peoples work

including mine.

What amazed me about banksy's work is how he took time to create his stencils before putting

it out in the public eye. In the movie you could see how htook his time carefully and went through

each stencil perfecting it. It's really cool. I love how he put all of his work through out all of the

city. He is labeld as a "criminal" but in my personal thoughts i know that what he is doing is his

own way  of expressing himself. That is what plays a huge part in what amazed me about his

work. His secret identitiy.

In a certain way i think banksy used a subliminal message in his art work. Like in the one were

he has the little kids playing and then you look closely and you see that there is a crack in the

wall and you see a tropical paradise. Its very...very....random it's diffrent. Its not your everyday

type of art you see. The obama poster was one that i didnt understand. However i did know it

carried a powerful message in it somwere.

"Political Cartoon Draft"

My political cartoon has Diana Moon-Glampers on the  front with her shot gun and she has very spikey

teeth. This symbols how rude she is, how she thinks she is makeing everyone equal when she is actually

makeing everyone the same. My draft connects to the book by how i portray Diana to be, everyone in that

town thought she was a rude woman. For the simple fact that she was makeing everyone the same. She took

away the advantages that people were born with or had developed. My draft represents what she really is, A

Monster!

Metamorphosis "Part two"

In my opinion the only person out of the Samsa family that benefits anyone is Gregor. He goes to work every day just to make scrap money.  He wakes up early in the morning to go to work, when he can barely get out of the bed. Not to mention he works exhausting hours and makes basically nothing, just to keep a roof over his family’s head. Even though his parents are not working and he is, they can be respectful towards him. They could thank him and be nice for a change.

Support:

When you have a family, support one another. Love each other because at the end of the day you guys are all that each other have. Look out for one another make sure everyone is safe at all times. Even though times are tough and you may fight with your family but always remember to care for one another.

Mindfulness:

Like in Gregors case. His family was not being mindful of him. Gregor would go to work and his family didn’t really care. What they actually should have been doing was saying “hey how was your day?” or “thank you Gregor for all you do.” Being mindful for what he was doing. Because all he did was work hard and all they did was sit there with blank expressions.

Family Discussions:

Use this time to come together as a family and discuss issues that need to be resolved. Weather its about school, work, or each other. Put it out there and resolve the problems. Also, use this time for good discussions. Maybe about the A+ you received on your progress report or your promotion at work.

Respectfulness:

Respect each other. Try not to fight, and look at the other siblings/spouses point of view. Try to compromise with one another. Respect yourself too. Keep yourself tidy

And love yourself.

Family Outings:

Its important to get out together. Weather its going out for dinner or seeing a movie. You need to go out together as a family. For one day it is possible to hold your personal festivities for one day and go hang out with your family, and laugh, enjoy yourself and established unbreakable bonds!

I would have to give the Samsa family a C- based on my plethora of topics. They hardly portray any of my advice. Although after Gregor died they wish they would have did what I said. It was too late.

Metamorphosis "Part One"

I think the positive aspects of Gregors metamorphosis is that

he doesn't have to work.Gregor worked his butt off to make it

happen for his family. He kinda put them on a pedestal. He

woke up early in the morning, ran to the train and went to his

job. Gregor worked tireless hours at his job.

It seemed as if his family was not very supportive on his half.

They had grew to almost expect something from him. They

just expected him to go to work and make it happen. They

were never all that thankful towards Gregor either. Gregor

struggled to make it to work everyday also. He could hardly

get up in the morning.

Metamorphosis Chapter 3

I think that Kafka changed Gregor into a dung roach because it resembles him an many ways.


Secondly i think that he changed him because he knew he needed to change in some way. I think Gregor 


also knew he needed to change somethings too. I think Kafka was wise for what he did, i mean shure it 


was bad on Gregors half, but it was time for a change. Kafka made the right choice, it might have not been 


the best end result but he had a reason behind what he did.


I think Kafka changed him into a cockaroach because thats a very low insect, and it has no purpose except 


to sit in crap all day. Also its an ugly bug. No one likes them, its not like spiders where there purpose is to 


catch flies around your home, Or a bee which makes honey. Roaches just sit in filth all day long. They are 


also very slow and creepy. It resembles Gregor when he was a Roach, Kafka did so he would not have to 


work that horrible job and pay off his parents debt too.
