Started from the bottom

    I think hip hop is defined as being rap, passionate, and black culture. I chose these three words to describe hip hop because it originated from black culture and is mainly rap, and rap battles. I also said it was passionate because all songs rap about something important or relevant to their lives or the world around them. You rarely/never hear a hip hop or rap song that isn't rapping about something meaningful or have an underlying meaning to their lives.
    I think the plaza in front of Library West fits my definition almost perfectly. When you walk through the plaza, there are people from many different cultures playing their music, singing their song, trying to get people to understand their culture. even though its more broad than black culture, these different groups try to help others understand their culture. When you open your eyes and ears you can hear these different groups of people rapping about something in their native language and i also believe this roots from black culture. All of these groups are extremely passionate about what they are doing and appear to almost care less if you don't stop and listen or talk to them. Every time I walk through the plaza I usually try to avoid the people that try and hand me flyers but that means I miss the groups playing their music, or the smell of the krishna lunch. Walking through the plaza of America's helps open your mind to different roots of hip hop.

I think this part of the films purpose is all for learning experience. She was a phoenix that crashed onto earth and doesn't understand anything around her. In this scene she interacts with various types of animals and seems very interested and intrigued by what is around her. It draws a picture for her innocence and interest of Earth. She doesn't know good and bad and this is a completely new realm for her. I think the message of that scene is all about innocence is the world and the curiosity of people to explore and learn new things around them. The visual part also portrays a very innocent scene, a very natural looking backyard, harmless features such as the rabbit or lamb. Her smelling the grass and hesitating to touch the leaves on the tree. It is all very natural and pure looking and rather pleasing to the eye and ties along with the innocence that the scene is giving off.

In school you learn all about drinking and driving, texting and driving, suicidal thoughts and the millions of ways you can avoid those things, but you never really paid any attention to the real message they were sending you. As you go through school you have an endless amount of speakers come in and talk about their experiences with those topics but you never really care to think about what would happen if those things were to occur in your life. About two weeks, my best friends brother committed suicide,  he was 20 years old. Just like every other teenage he had his share of problems and did his share of doing silly things. He and his girlfriend, or ex girlfriend i should say, were fighting and he decided to go out to a club with a bunch of friends and drink a little too much. When he found out his girlfriend was at a different club he decided he just had to go comfort her and ended up seeing her with another guy. Infuriated and upset he took his car and headed home, around 2:30 he knew what he wanted to do, he texted his mom saying he loved her, and slammed his car into a cement toll booth going 130 mph. I got a call around 8:30 in the morning with her broken voice saying Dylan had killed himself. At that moment, all I could think about what the continuous lectures they give you on drinking and driving and calling someone for help when you need it and I wish I could go back to listening to my English teacher talk about her friend dying from drinking and driving and ask her if this is what it truly felt like. Now every time I hear someone talk of drinking and driving or suicide, I hope I can stand in front of teenagers at a high school and tell them what kind of feeling this tragedy brings out in a person and hope they have the epiphany during my speech instead of after the phone call like I did.
