5 TIOL questions.

1)What is art?
Everything is art. Everything surrounding you is art, because everything can be portrayed. If you can paint it or drawi it, it's art.

2) Why do humans create utopias?
I think humans create utopias because at some point we'd just like to make the world better than it already is. but sometimes things arent always better, sometimes things are just different liking for others. We can't all have the same likes and dislikes that's why we're all so uniqe.

3)What is amnesty?
Amnesty is a political way to "pardon" certain matters, mostly political offenses.


4)What is the world food crisis? What is the cause of the world food crisis?
The world food crisis is one that evidently is throughout the whole world. People suffer from starvation and mild nutrition from the rises in gas prices and inequalities throughout the world. It's harder too because there are more people now than there used to be. Higher costs in gas means theres higher costs in everything because you need gas to transport all your goods. Without gasoline we'd lose it.

5)What are the five elements of a story?
The five elements of a story are a plot, characters, setting, a conflict and a theme. You need all of these in order to help make a story make sense.

Riot in Haiti

If I had to choose between starving silently and rioting for food I would definently riot!
Sometimes violence is the way to get through people who can't understand that you will DIE without food, or at least those who chose to ignore the situation. Violence can make people react faster to the situation while putting them under pressure.
Rioting is the way to go if you'd like to get fed, at least in Haiti it is.

Poem.

Dot's here &there.
Dot's that look like pot's and plant's and lamp's like a map.
Silly how people seem to fall,
but really they're just mannquin dolls.
A face so pale so gorgeous, delicious.
The eyes will always keep watch,
just like the whale that whails ever so frail,
by the face you can't replace,
that's in this place you cant misplace.
Singing no song, but filled with no wrong.
Yes, those eyes that pierce through walls.
Those dot's that are here &there,
they will never compare.

Picture by: Joan Miro
Poem by: me
I decided to post this poem because a lot of people wanted to read it so I said to just look at my blog.

Pictures






I think that this is a good picture because I took it while the sun is in the background giving my friend Paloma a sihouette. I also gave the camera a different angle by making it look up just a little. Also because she is smiling and she never smiles for my photographs!

T

This is an example of of a bad picture because i took it without her posing, and i had popped up like a paparazzi to take a horrible picture that isn't really real.

Sobe Thriller AD

In this commercial there is a dark skinned girl wearing a shiny dress; the top is covered with silver while the short skirt is thin and flutters easily by any movement. The girl has straight jet black hair and is carrying a bright red Life Water bottle. After her high heels click noisily a scaily dark green cricket follows her every step. She opens the bottle quickly with a radiant smile. As she sets it down the water splashes and a fiery red lizard pops out and gives it a gulp in mid air. His eyes suddenly turn dark and evil as if he were in a trance. Thriller by Michael Jackson is in the background while the lizard along with many other lizards and the woman start dancing to this song.
The person who created this message is SOBE, but it could have involved both girls and boys, probably someone younger than 30.
This commercial had fun, humor, celebrities, nature, music, sexy, and cartoon as their creative techniques.
Probably a racist person wouldnt like the idea of a black girl instead of a white one. Or also someone who is very environmental wouldn't like this and think its a waste to buy flavoured water.
A lifestyle i see is of having fun and listening to older music, dancing, and being sexy.
I think the message is being sent so you can go enter their website along with buying the product.
In this video i saw a girl dancing with lizards to the Thriller song because they drank Life Water. I think both girls and boys created this message and thought that it would satisfy the public. Mostly fun, humor and celebrity were omitted in this message. There are some people who probably woulnt feel comfortable watching this commercial like racist or environmental people. This message would make people want to dance. Also, this message is trying to get you to buy their Life Water maybe because it brings out the music in you.

In this picture there is a colored man walking out onto the metro, after buying his ticket. He’s wearing a black old fashioned hat matching nicely with his dark overcoat and a white collared shirt followed along by light khaki pants; and wrapped around his neck is a black filled tie with red flowers. He is carrying another suit on the back of his shoulder, as if it weighed only a few pounds in the light of the metro. Having a weird expression on his face as if he were puckering his lips and looking towards the sky as though he has seen something completely amazing, he holds on gently to his ticket as he walks out of the booth.

About Mulan..

Some of the values I had seen in the movie Mulan were their lifestyle; they went by morals to honor their families. Mulan is rejected by the matchmaker, so she’s really sad, and tries to bring honor to her family by saving China! Also, the way they dress has to do a lot with their values, you couldn’t just walk up around china wearing a t-shirt and jeans if you were a girl. (so mean!)I think that the person who created Mulan had done a lot or research on the country, or had been a formal habitant of China. Since the person who made Mulan must have wanted to make the main value be family, I’m sure it’s someone who also values family, or else I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have wanted you to see in this perspective, family is important. This movie has a mixture of both truth and fiction. There are no talking dragons, there are a lot of superstitions, which could, but may not be true. “Bringing honor” to the family was common in china. Confucius in writing Jen, wanted to lead people to having manners and being kind. Mulan gave up what she had to fight for china and her father, who is now older, and a bit incapacitated.
