Dude Looks Like A Lady

One of the most vivid movie scenes I have from my childhood is the scene from Mrs. Doubtfire when the song "Dude Looks Like A Lady" comes on my mom and I automatically start jamming out. Considering it's one of my favorite movies, any time I hear the song I have to go watch the movie. This scene is based on Robin Williams finally becoming close with his children that he is a "nanny" for and secretly trying to get back with his wife proving he's grown up and can be a husband again. After rewetting the clip, it reminds me of my parents sitting with me and watching the movie together and a rush of memories comes to mind of my parents playing sports and games with me.

Challenge Check-in #1

I am choosing to do the Street Art as my topic for the Hip-Hop challenge and I plan on doing so by going to the wall every day for a week to see all the new graffiti thats on the way until the right "image" speaks to me. I chose this topic because I always drive by the wall and I'm always so fascinated by what people have on there. By choosing this topic it always helps me expand my horizons on Hip-Hop culture and I am able to observe and evaluate a specific image on the wall, preferably one I will be able to relate to or that I am infatuated by.

9/11

    People believe that because the attack of the World Trade Centers on September 11th, 2001 happened on American soil, it is a national terrorist attack. Just like the Boston Marathon bombing or the Tucson shooting in 2011 happened on the same grounds but the attack of the Twin Towers not only effects the nation but people globally. The collapsing of the World Trade Centers was a global hate crime because it violates international freedoms in america, disrespects the ethical core of patriotism, and created health issues for any human in parts of New York at the time of the terrorist attack.

Evaluative writing is when you have to evaluate/judge something with a certain criteria you have to follow, for example when you grade our essays you follow a certain criteria to evaluate our writing. Everything you judge there could be completely different things you must be judging and looking for.
    Establishing criteria is important because you have to be aware of what you are judging and looking for when evaluate something. Before we write our essays we know what you are looking for and after we write our essay we go back through, evaluate our writing and see if we followed the criteria we were given.
    #1. Rosen thinks that music is an outlet for people to relate to others of their age and the music itself. She thinks that music reflects the artist and their imagination of the world around them but she also thinks that parents should be aware of the music their kids listen to. She believes that music can be an opportunity for parents to try and see into their kids world and what they may think and feel because people listen to music that reflects the way they may feel. She thinks music has meaning to it in certain ways and producers won't put music on an album because it feels like it has no meaning to it even though she believes all music is made with some meaning behind it. she sees music as a large group of individuals that can all come together though things such as music and programs relating to music.

This is a picture of my best friend, Jordan, and I in second grade during field day. I can vividly remember playing the water balloon toss together and doing the wheel barrel race. I remember our moms being there talking about how "stinkin' cute"  we were. Our facial expressions and body posture seems to show sheer love and happiness. I remember a day fun of little kid fun and happiness and still to this day, seeing old pictures of us brings me happiness. Even though we may live together now, it makes me happy knowing I was lucky enough to get a best friend I would be best friends with for 10+ years. This picture reminds me of childhood and being in class together and always talking to each other during our activity times. This picture also brings me sadness to know how quickly time has flown by. I can remember days in elementary school, us in middle school, then going to different high schools, and now being able to live together. This picture reminds me how blessed I was and still am to be able to create a bond with my best friend.
