Vocabulary

Well here you go... took me ages to upload but i finally did it. Yay for me.....

A Modest Proposal

 well first off...... Children for food!!!!!!!!!!! what in the world!!Selling children parts for money. That is just sick. Sorry just had to get this out of the way. This meets the criteria of satire in the following ways, the writer acts like the babies are crops or fruits. He says when it is best to eat them and how to eat them. He is acting like its normal to talk about eating children. (I mean i guess its okay the limit is 14 years of age *sarcasm*) all in all this is just about the reasons of why people should eat or sell the meat of their children. The Satire in this, is the tone of what the speaker said. It was like having a normal conversation about the weather or something.

My Big Question

My big question is........ Is anything really worth taking risks for?

EVERYTHING'S AMAZING

This was one funny video that i enjoyed. (watched it 4 times) I don't know what the homework is... to name the "elements" I'm not sure of what it means, but here I go. An element used in the video was humor, the speaker really reached out to everyone and made them laugh. The funnier part was that he was insulting the generation of today. I got shocked when here used such words to describe us, but the comedy made up for it all. That's about i can say about this video.( For me, this video was motivational, because I want to become a comedian when i grow up... not as my main job but as a hobby)

The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

Well this the best that I could. I tried I really did. I hired a camera man but he bailed on last minute. My make up guy got sick so I'm sorry for everyone watching this.... haha props to Angel Maceda for recording and directing this whole Video. 

Satire videos

Example #1: This is one the funniest videos that I have seen in the past hour. (I watch a lot of videos on a daily basis) Well this video shows the stereotypes that there are about Hilary Clinton. It is just plain hilarious. There is another one about Donald Trump, but I feel like it's a little much for this blog..... 

Example #2: Oh My Goodness this video speaks nothing but the truth. TBH i got a little motivated by this video, it's still pretty funny. It is an example of satire because it is humorous. it also kind of criticizes people that make these type of motivational videos. 

 

Example #3:  This video is an example of satire because it mocks Americans about how they are during the Olympics. It is also of course hilarious, because i can relate. 


I can post a lot more videos, but i feel like 3 is enough. :) 

The laughing heart

This was a positive and motivational poem. What I got out of it was that darkness represented all the bad times in life, all the negative things. The light represented positiveness and optimism. The main message in this poem was that if you are optimistic then things will be fine. This poem also life and death, is says that we should make the best of life now that we have it because who knows what will happen. I really enjoyed this poem and the meaning that it had to it.

"The right to your opinion"

The moment I clicked on the reading I panicked, not going to lie. 

Why you ask? 

Here is a little secret.... I don't enjoy reading, but this was a very very interesting topic. My thoughts on this were really tangled. i had a hard time understanding, here is what i got out of it.

    Saying that you have the right to your opinion is like a plan b after you find your that your opinion is incorrect. It's used as a last resource in a debate/argument. What really interested me was "the rights and duties", because it was so mind blowing to see how it worked. It's cool how it all ties together in how someones rights create duties for others. This is the article I read  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4N6VdfN_pCKYUt6ZkxFSHc0S3c/view
