Me
Are there ever situations where you feel the need to make yourself bigger than another person?
I feel that I don't have to act big because since I am bigger them most girls my age people don't want to mess with me because they always think that I am mean or not as nice as the smaller girls. But I do feel that sometimes to get what I want I have to act the my the person wants me to act and not the way I would go about it. Like when I go on interviews I feel that I have to act really sweet and sometime what some would say act "white" and " black". Even the way I live I am put in to the mode that I acting. See where I live most black and spanish girls would say that I think that I higher them and that I think I am white. Whereas when I am going to school I think people see me as that black girl. Like they see we get off on 42 they look like what that is new. Or even when I am talked about with my family and their friends I knew for going to a school with white kids as well as black and people seem to look at me different because of that so I use it to get where I need to get.

Christian
Are there ever situations where you feel the need to make yourself bigger than another person?
For me, I think I'm more of a conformist because of the many identities I put up front, to fit in with the many different social scenes. I feel that this role of being the conformist is valid in the cool society because there are many different criteria's that cool requires, and by being one identity won't really get you far in the cool scene.

hw 30

How does this emptiness feel?
I think that the reason we get this emptiness is because we don't wnat to be alone. I feel that when I am the most emtiness is when I am home alone. I feel that when I am not able to put a smile on someones face then there is no real reason why I am here. I am Stephine is right that we should not live our life by what other people say but by what we say, and I agree with her but I mean how far can you really get by yourself. I love to live my life doing what I wnat to do and please myself the way I want and not by others but how far will I get by myself. In the end I am goin to end up alone and isn't that what we are running away from. So yea by all means make yourself happy but why not along the way can't you make others happy and that is where I think we get empty. I also believe we get this way when we feel like no one understands us.
What are the sources of this sense of meaninglessness but also of the need for a sense of meaning?
I do feel that one sources is growing up. I think that just having to grow up is one because from that moment we are able to talk and are able to understand people tell us different things. Then we also see what other people are doing and we see that one day that will be us. Then the day we find out that we are not one with our mothers and fathers and that one day we will go our own ways. Until the day we know that we are going to die. I think that we find this out and want to know that even if we die and when we die that we are not going to be forgotten. We want to know that people will still think of us. I mean that is why we make up the whole after life because we do not what to think of a world without us. We find it so hard so know that the world will go on without us and that nothing changes.

Homework 29

Should advertising to young people be banned? Up to what age? Or all ages?
I think that advertising should be banned. I think that there should be a test, because if we really think that advertising is what is making us think that we need x,y and z in life, then we should test it out. We should see how little kids take in the information and then see when they turn about 13 if they choice to continue to do what advertising is tellin them to do. If it should show that the kids still choice to do what the advertising things are saying then it should be banned. I am i think that will take a lot of time and by the time that group of people that is test is being test on grow up there will be about million of other people will see these things all over the place. But I am mean there has to be other ways to make sure that is banned and it works. And if they are banned then no under 16 should be able to see it.

There was a quote like, "Girls are taught to flaunt their sexuality even though they don't understand it yet(by Britney Spears type media.
I think this quotes says a lot. It shows how a lot of girls don't really now what they are doing they are just trying to be sexy becauxse that is what they think they have to be and to get boys to notcie them. Then with the famous people showing off their bodies so young females think it is ok and right to show off their bodies. And I think that is is why low self-esteem is what makes people want to be cool.

Homework 28

http://www.pathcom.com/~sigmuse/Enhanced/articles/cool.htm
This article is about cool and how the word has been around for many of years and how it has a meaning but over time the meaning has seem to change to fit what we think it should mean. It talks about how the people who talk about being cool the most are teenagers. It also talks about how we should so what ever makes us happy and that is cool. Because cool has often a lot to do with having low self-esteem.
The real question is why does have low self -esteem has to do with being cool? Why can't people what to be cool with out having low self-esteem? And if the problem is having low self-esteem then why is it all the "popular "kids messing with the kids that are fat,ugly, that do not smell good,or that are poor? These are questions that make we think more of what does it really mean to be cool and what really is the whole point behind it.

/www.audioenglish.net/dictionary/uncool.htm
This website is the definition of what it means to be uncool.
If people say that cool is being you then how can there be an definition of cool or uncool?

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/427869
This is a website that has people talking about what they thinks make people cool or uncool by the way that they act to what they say. Most people are saying the say thing over and over again but in different ways.
I think that this is what life and what cool s all about we are all kind think in the same way so who is to say that we are different and we can't really say if we are different then who is to say that some of us are cool and that some of us are not.

cool with ppl I know

Javon Perry
Do you think you are cool?
I would not say that I am cool but a lot of people ttell me I am.
What makes people tell you that you are cool?
People say that it is the way I dress and the way I carry myself.
What makes you dress the way you dress?
The media and my friends and family. But I think that the people I look up to help me come up with my fashion.
Who are the people you look up to and why do you look up to them?
Pharrell and Kanye West and I like them beceause to me they are different. To me no one dress lik ethme and no one acts like them.
So how much does your whole outfit cost?
Ummmmmm.... Well this is 330 and the his 700 and this 800 so I going to say that it cost 3000.
Why do you spend so money on clothes, is it because you wnat people to thing you are better then what you are?
I just always was dressed this way. I since I was 5 I always had on name brand things on. That is just the way I like to dress and not it is not to make meself feel better you for other people to think I better then them, it is just I like to look good. If I had to wear clothes like holes in my shoes and jeans with stuff on it and a shirt with food on it I would not feel like myself.

Taj Doston (My sister)
Do you think you were cool when you were in school?
Yes I do well at least people acted as if they wanted to be like me or be my friend.
What made people tell you that you were cool or made you think you were cool?
Well I was small and skin and the boys seem to really like me. Whereas the girls thought that i dressed really good and had a lot of boys who liked me so I guess that iss what made them think I was cool.
What made you dress the way you dressed?
Ummmmm. really cant't remember it was so long ago, but I believe that it was the media and stuff.
When it comes to being cool for the clothes that you would wear how important was that to you when you were in school?
When I was in school that was very important to me. I wanted to alway look like I had the best things. And I wanted to make the boys like me.
Did help you in any way?
It helped with getting the boys to like me, but with that I started to study and do work less which made me do bad in school.

What I noticed in the stories

I noticed that in a lot of people's the cool kid was new, there was there were few stories where the cool kids where already there. And the thing that made the new kid so cool was that they were new and since they were new they had to show that they were not weak. The new kids wanted people to know that they could not be messed with. Some were more straight forward trying to act like they were bad while some act as if they did not care what happen or what people thought.
I think the story that Matthew made was one of the stories that showed someone not new talking about what it means to be cool and how that makes them feel. I think that in this story it showed more of how you can be cool be really don't know where to go with the way you live your life. In a lot of the stories you did not get what the person was feeling. I mean you got to read their inner thoughts but you did not get what they wanted and how that made them feel.

This story was really good and funny. I t was like the boy just knew that he was not going to make any friends and it turned out that he made a lot of friends by the end. I think the part that got me is that you the story really and you have never thought that a girl wrote this story about a boy. the character said things that boys would say or think. And I like how the kid did not have to act bad to make friends.

Matthew R. Batson
Your story was really good. When we read it in class I felt like this is something that happen in a lot of teenagers life. I feel that this seems to happen a lot to girls but I still think you story got to what it was trying to get at. Your story showed how Lora was doing things that she did not know why she was doing them and Robert was trying to help her find out why she do them. I feel that she was so wrapped up in what other people think that she could not see pass her own nose and she what Robert was getting at. I feel that reading this makes you watch a little of what you do and why you do it. Good job u have a gift at writing

Your story was so good. When reading in class I thought that this story feels like something that happens to teenagers in life. I also believe that is happens a lot to girls. I feel that Lora didn't really know why she did what she did and that Robert really tried to make her see what she was doing was not good for her. He was trying to make her learn from this but it seem like she was so into what everyone else thinks that she could not see past her own nose. But I feel that it was really good and that you have a gift in writing.

Larche
I like how the new girl was something big in your story. How the kids notice everything she did. I like how she was use to everyone looking at her and wanting to be her. How when she came to school the next day that everyone looked like her and was trying to be her. She was the cool kid that knew she was cool and had to have everyone know it to.

Sam C
Your Story made me laugh the moment I read the name of the cool kid. in your story the kid did what he had to do to fit in again. I like how he knew what was wrong once he got up to his friends. and the picture was a good thing to add, it showed another way that people try to be cool

Michelle
The cool kid your story was the kind of kid that did not care about what anyone had to say. He tried to do his own thing and not show that he was into the whole "I care what other people say." I like your story ity was good

short story

Joe was the new kid in school.From moment he walked through the doors he wanted everyone to think he was cool. He walked in and pushed the first person that got in his way. The boy turned around to hit him back, but the look in Joe's eye gave the boy a cold chill down his back so he walked away. As Joe walked into the classroom he saw a pertty girl in the back of the room. He walke dover to her and said,"DAMMMMMN!Girl you looking really goooood, I just want to take you home".She looked at him then at her friend and said, "Boys can be so lame, they think they can get everything they want".
"Well BITCH I can. Youdon't know how many hoes I get and how many of them want me to be their man or even want me to talk to them. So watch who the hell you talking to and how you talking to me". He walked away and started looking for a seat. There was a seat in the the back of the room in the corner. He sat down waiting to get the day started so it could end. The teacher came in and saw that he was a new kid and was not sitting where she wanted him to sit so she went over and asked him to move. He looked looked up at her and said " No, know go teacher this boring asssss class so I can go home". The thought to herself for a moment and she know that fighting with him was not going to make any think better so she walked away and started to talk about history.

Cool

Who are the cool kids in school?
How do you become cool?
How do you know when you are cool?
Why do a lot of the cool kids most of the time are the ones that do a lot "bad" things but still are cool?
Is there a different in being cool and popular?

To me there can be different reasons why someone is cool. They can be cool because they have money, can be pretty, have a talent that a lo of people wish they could have, and I sure there are other reasons why someone could be cool, but why do this things matter. I know that sometimes matter to me but I sometimes wonder why. What about what someone wears show who they are deep down in side. Just because they do not wear what I wear does not mean that they do not have the same goals and dreams that I have. I would like to know who made the idea of what is cool and what is not cool? In class we talked about being cool and someone said that we would be lying if we said we don't care if we are cool or not and i think that is not true. I don't care if I cool people have to take me they way I am but I do care if people respect me which is different then being cool. I feel that there are people that are cool that should not be cool but just because I don't think they should be cool does not mean I going to be rude to them. So I do think that someone people don't care if they are cool where some do. Or should I say that some care moe then others.

my paper

Bryanna Wright 11-5-09
11-D4

Digital use is something that has become more and more popular over time. As days come and go some argue that digital use is good for us, while others argue that that it is not. Current sources try to show us that digital use are more bad then they are good. Sources tend to show that we depend on digital use so much that it brainwashes us, which causes us to live unhealthy lifestyles. Internet, music, and movies are sources that come off as things that control us by telling us what to wear, how to act, and who to be.
Internet is a digitalization that we use to connect with other people. While trying to connect with other people we don’t realize what we are doing. We don’t realize that we change who we are or add more interesting details to make ourselves seem more important then other people really think we are. By using Myspace and Facebook we create false profiles to conform into someone that we are not. The Internet is away to enter a world that allows us to forget about the “real” world. “We text all the time instead of talking to the person right in front of us and we rather take Facebook photos and flaunt our fakeness instead of being original and not relying on digital media to keep us entertained”(from Stephanie Forgarty-Yee). Getting more of accomplishment on Facebook, like when someone change their status and people comment on what they are doing, just giving them more attention. When trying to connect with people it is easier to tell them who you are through the digital world then through talking to them in person. When talking through the digital world people can’t really judge you nor can they tell when you are lying, whereas if you talk in person they can tell if you are lying by your tone, body movements, etc. There is more of acknowledge between two people when talking in the digital world. You can connect by the smallest thing; jobs, what you like to do on your free-time, music, movies etc. By using Internet to connecting with people we hide behind the real us to show the new created one.
Music often tends to brainwash us as while. In music they talk about things to keep mindless kids superficial. Artist today sing about telling people what to buy, as while as how life would be so much better if they had x, y, and z. In the movie Josie and that Pussycats the music company used the Pussycats music to board cast what was the latest things. They had a hidden message under the real music so that people would not know it was in there. [Josie, Melody and Valerie listen to the song snippet they just recorded, now with subliminal messages] 

Melody: I want a Big Mac!
Valerie: But, Mel, you're a vegetarian.
Melody: I know, but suddenly I want one!
After hearing that song Melody was brainwashed to like something that she usually does not like, or would have not thought about if she did not listen to the song. This happens to many people around the world. Today’s music make kids want to buy things they really don’t need, say things that are rude, tell them how to be successful, as well as how to love. Then after listening to these artist tell you how you should be people start to find ways to become this person. People started to become more and more superficial. Not caring about what other people have to give but about how they look. And movies don’t make it better.
The idea of a movie is to tell a story. Which is why we all like movies because we all feel that there will be a movie that explains what we feel as people. So we go and pay 12 dollars to see a movie that just may be the life we are real living. However Wall-E there was something a little different, this was one of the who knows how many movies that tried to show us that we are kind of living life as lazy, fat, unworking, unappreicate people. In the movie the people could not walk they had to be moved by a chair that moves on it own, they ate their food in a shak form way so that they would not have to chew, and if they had to change their clothes they just pressed a button on their chair that changed it for them. But the part that really made me think about how we live is when the ear/ head graud was removed from the person’s face their colthes want back to what they had on before, and they could see that they we being control by the digitl things around them. A writer Bert Brecht said "Art is not a Mirror with which to reflect the World. It is a Hammer with which to shape it" I agree but yet I disagree. I feel that art does reflect some parts of life as well as the world. I feel that art shows us things that we try and act like don't happen like war, killing, and even rape. So I do think art is a mirror that reflects the world. But I also feel that art is a hammer in which we use to shape the world. I do feel that the movie Wall-E is a type of art in which shapes to us to see that we could end up not living life the best way.
In the end there are many ways to show how we use the digital world to control, inpact, and inslave us as peopele. We try so hard to say that it doesn’t but it does, we depend on digital use so much that it brainwashes us, which causes us to live unhealthy lifestyles. Digitalization turns us into someone that we are not, helps us make decisions, and mak us lazy fat people.

Homework 10
I like that way you set up what you found wrote so that we could understand what you looked up and was able to read what you wrote to get what the article was talking about.
I think that the things that you looked up were good things to look up. I like how you gave one that talked about how people who drink and text are equal to each other. I also like how you found one that talked about how we can't write because we are use to the way we text.
I go agree with the article that talked about teenagers not being about to write because they are use the way that they talk when they use their phone to text. I some times put u instead of you because I think that I am on my phone.
Next time write a little about the 3 article so that people could get what that one was about.
I would like to look up more about people's addiction to Blackberries are equal to a person who has a addiction to drugs or alcohol. I would want to know why is that.
Good job

hw 14

From reading the two short excerpts the first short excerpt was talking about T.V. About how people think that tv is not good for you but it is not. The first excerpts was tlking about how watching tv can challenge your mind. That some of the things that we watch do not tell you everything right away, that you have to watch it and think about is going to happen next or even think about what it really means.
The second excerpt was talking about video games. It was saying that games are not bad for us. It talked about how people who read more do more with their time, where as people who do not readt waste their time doing nothing.What was brought up was what is games came before books and then books came along how would people react to that. whould they still think that books are better or would they think that books did not help kids at all.
Reading these excerpts made me see that I agree. While reading feed and talking in class I never really thought about my thoughts that much. I kind of let others people thoughts be my thought, not really knowing if that is what I thought. Or I thought that it did not matter to me, but frome reading this I feel that people just what thing to stay the same and change. I think that people are not use to or ready for change. I think that reading is important but it doesn't open peoples mind like tv and video games. Also I disagree with the study that was talked about in the second where people who read more do more with their time. I feel that people who read are so busy reading they would not be able to understand things that do not go the way books go.

feed B

Bert Brecht said "Art is not a Mirror with which to reflect the World. It is a Hammer with which to shape it" I agree but yet I disagree. I feel that art does reflect some parts of life as well as the world. I feel that art shows us things that we try and act like don't happen. Like war, killing, and even rape. So I do think art is a mirror that reflects the world.

But I also feel that art is a hammer in which we use to shae the world. I do feel that the bood feed is a type of art. The book feed trys to shape the minds of the readers to change the way they act. I think that reading the book people think how the kids sound so dumb and never know that is it talking about kids today. This hammer shows us how we are so quick to jugde people with out knowing people. That we have to learn th see that we are not all the same.

So think that this book even if the book was not easy for me to read because at time I got confused it made me think, see and realize. I saw how fast I was ready to call the kids in the book dumb and then when kids around my age do it I call it dumb but I don't go on about the fact of how dumb they are.

Feed A

Reading feed made see some of the things that we do is kind of dumb. Like going to the moon every chance we get, trying to keep up with everyone esle amd making sure we at not bored all the time. But I do feel thatin the book it could have shown the kids that who do not act this way. There are some kids who do not care or try to be like everyone esle. Who do not try to go the move everychance they get.

Why do people watch porn?

From reading what other people think about why other people or them selves watch porn was one good way to find out why people watch poen. To different people they have different reasons but they still seem good enough to those people to make them do it. I think people lie to them selves just to make them feel like what they are doing is not wrongm, or make it seem like it is ok so that other people do not thing they are crazy or nasty. I don't know if it is hard to stop wacthing it but I think that if people stop lying to them selves and other then they would not have to do it as much and would feel ok about doing it.

Why do people watch tv?
http://www.newsdesk.umd.edu/sociss/release.cfm?ArticleID=1789
"Unhappy people wacth t.v while happy people read/Socialize". When I first read the title I had to see what it was talking about. I do not feel that unhapy people watch t.v while happy people read?socialize. Juat how someone unhappy wants to get away and watch t.v someone else unhappy may want to get away by reading. I think that and unhappy person would not do any of these things and wouls just sit there in the dark wonders ways to make them sleve happy. I feel that some people are more of a viewer learner so they have to see what it happening or how to do it before doing it so that is why they wacth t.v, while the other person maybe more of a thinker and have to think about it abfore they do it. I depeneds on the person not their mood.

comments on my comments

To Elias
I thank you for the comment. I think you are right I can elaborate more but I fee like we all kind of say same thing and we keep saying it over and over but I can still try find other ways to say what I think. I like how you connected to what I was saying about the bills and how we should have limit on things. I do feel that if we have limits on things we will find ways to push by those limits because I know that I hate to be told how to use my things or run my life.

Video

When watching my video I started to think why did i have the tv on while i was on the computer, on my phone and listening to music. All I am doing is running up the bills and then I wonder why my mom may not have alot of money.If I had a younger sister or when I have children I will not not want them doing all the thing I was doing in my video all at once. I meant I don't think I should limit how they use digital media but that they should just think about when they should use them.Like the Wii I don't know alot about it but From what everyone has said I can see it as a way to stay in shape but I also see it as a onther way of being lazy I think it just depends on the person and their house-hold.

Hey Julliette your video was good. I think none of us see or notice how much we use digital things. I mean I think we do it so much that we think it is something that everyone does but really there are some kids and parents that don't use it at much.

I like how you talked about how you would not liek your kids get that dependent on digital use when you get older. I hope you can do that beacuse like you said I feel that in the future the only thing we are going to have are digital things.

I like how you talked about the Wii. I don't know that much about it but I do see what you are saying about if you buy the Wii you can use it to stay in shape. And then you are having fun and staying in shape how good is that.

I like how you made it clear on what you were talking about but maybe you can write it as one and find a way to make it flow together.

At frist I thought that I would not limit my child's digital use, but then again I don't what them to be dependent on it maybe you can tell me so reason on why I or parents should limit their kids digital use.

Nice video good job


To Elias
I like how you really notice things about your self and are able to say that you do not have a life and I think that alot of people can't say that about their selves. I also like how you notice things about your nephew and how you think about how you may limit his t,v watching when he gets older or even now.

I see that in your post you talk alot about you and your life which is good because you don't know how other people use the digital media world

I agree with you that school and work and friends and aterschool things are a good way to stop us from being addicted to the digital world. I also agree that sometimes our friends are the reason why we are addicted because we want to talk to them so much that we have to be one the phone with one while texting the other while iming the other.

I do not think you need to work on

I also saw how you talking about obeise kids and how there needs to be something done. I agree I think that this whole digital world have something to do with it.

Nice post

I think that kids now a days stay on the their phones and computer. I think that if we had any kind of reason to get on the computer or internet we will. I think that we live for the computer because I now when I can't get on the internet I feel like I am going crazy. I feel like I am missing out on things or I feel like I can't talk to talk to some people. But I also want to see how long I could and the class could go with using the computer/internet. When it comes to tv I think that some some people watch it more then others but the internet is something that everyone use.
1. Why are we into the internet so much?
2. Who made the internet?
3.What would the world be like if the internet every where stop working and cut off?
4. How does the internet work world-wide?
