Nov. 21, Thanksgiving unforgettable meal

 Prompt: An unforgettable thanksgiving meal was when my parents cooked a whole lamb body. I remember walking into the kitchen and seeing a huge platter on the kitchen counter that was wrapped in foil. I was curious about that so I lifted it up and saw a dead lambs face. I remember being so shocked that I jumped back and quickly pulled it back down. My mom began to laugh at me and when it was time to eat I saw the whole lamb and was so surprised. 

Today in class we took a little quiz on the novel color purple

Dec. 16, Holiday traditions

 One tradition that is important to me and my family during the holidays is getting together to celebrate Christmas on the 24th. I find this important since we are able to all get together and celebrate just a day early and technically have two days that we celebrate. We open presents and wish each other happy Christmas once the clock hits 12, after that we stay and celebrate for a few hours then go home. Later in the day, now the 25th, we go over someones house and celebrate again, just talking and getting together again. I like this tradition and to this day we still keep it up, I love any chance I get to spend with my family and cousins especially during special times like the holidays.  In class we continued to watch the film and the worksheet  I learned that ìts important to cherish times with loved ones. To also never forget moments with them since things may change

Another thing was choosing the right videos to play that I also thought matched the quotes, making the audience see and imagine how the chapter went down. Throughout the project, the mood I was aiming for was pity and sadness, showing how Celie feels pity for Harpo that he is torn between trying for Sofie and still being in love with her.  Reflection: today in class we presented our Adobe Express Color Purple letter video  I learned that its important to show good emotion and expression through video creating and how it can make it look better. I will use this in future projects to increase the attention of the audie...

April, 16 Filmakers using stereotypes

 Prompt: I think film makers continue to use stereotypes because it catches the audiences attention and can give their film more attention. Also depends how they put the stereotype in the film, it could be comedic giving it more attention and sometimes love, for example the Rush Hour movies. This does not justify their use because it can still be harmful to those who are being stereotyped. After watching a film, the audience leaves with all those harmful stereotypes in their head and they can then express them or changes their views. Film makers using stereotypes is not justified and still creates maybe more harm.  Today I learned just how harmful stereotypes are and how it can impact someones life. I will use this to keep away from stereotypes and help break them
