Art Classes

I have tried many art classes and I have not enjoyed  them I at first thought that it was because I wasn't as good as I thought until I realized that the problem wasn't me or the other students it was the teacher in my first class the problem was that the teacher didn't expect me to be as good as I was and so she helped me but too much and in the other class the teacher didn't help me enough she didn't help me at all actually in the end I realized that at the time I thought they were helping me but in the end I realized that they weren't helping me they were hurting me by helping me too much or not enough. I am currently going to a class in Metuchen, NJ on 1 Pennsylvania Ave opposite from the Train Station and it is called Creative Images and the instructors name is Mrs.Woods she has been running the business since 1981 she is a talented artist and nice, kind, caring, and considerate. She helps you if you ask and she gives you advice and her opinion she doesn't do all the work for you and she lets you work at your own pace and you can choose to draw, paint, or sculpt something. You can pick what you want to draw,paint,and sculpt. In conclusion I think that Crative Images is a great place for art classes. I love the teacher and my classmates.

Bunnies

                                            Bunnies

When it comes to thinking about bunnies and rabbits most people would think of Easter, there are always plenty of decorations with bunnies on them other wise most people think of rabbits as big, fat, pigs who ruin people's food but in my opinion I think that when people who call bunnies pests are wrong. Consider yourself as the rabbit. All that you want to do is get food and provide for your family. Or I can tell it to you in a very different way. Think of this as a lottery ticket. Say you win $5,000,000.  Would you just say no thank you and walk away?  Did you say no? That's the point. If you won the money you would run and spend most of it on stupid things. So, if you found a winning lottery ticket you would take it. For a bunny, even a piece of apple is like winning the lottery. Bunnies are nice animals if you take care of them they an be affectionate. My point is that animals, not just bunnies, rely  on people like you and me.

Movie Review

                                       Monuments Men

This major motion picture was released on February 7 2014 runs for 110 minutes,  about Nazis who steal art and six men who find the art and return it to the rightful place and/or owners. Based on a true story this movie is a thriller, action movie, and just a little bit of funny and romantic. You can really see the connection between the characters. I feel like the director (George Clooney) really did a great job. I fully enjoyed the whole movie, I wish that there is going to be a sequel to this movie, I think this was an amazing movie. I personally think that the movie was amazing from the casting to the art and to the plot. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
The movie was so good I would see it three more time if I could if you are planing on going to see the movie or thinking about it I will tell you it is a must see movie it is the perfect combination of history and fun all in one movie it is a very emotional movie as well I ended up crying at certain points I laugh at certain points this movie plays with you emotions and does a great job at it. I would definitely recommend this movie to a friend or a family member or just someone looking for a good movie. You should definitely go see this movie. I rate it a 10 out of 10

Super Bowl Sunday

If you ask any American if  the Super Bowl is a holiday the chances are they will say yes. I once heard someone say that Football is not just a sport but a way of life, most Americana's would say good things about the Super Bowl. Except for the 34 team fans of those who don't make it to the Super Bowl. Every year two teams get the chance to be the Super Bowl champions. It is one game that every team wants to go to they want to claim the title of Super Bowl champion.  The Super Bowl is broad casted nationally to over 111.3 million people tuned in to watch and find out who would win the big game. This year (2014) the two teams playing were the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos, the Seattle Seahawks won 43-8.  Some people only tune in to watch the halftime show and the commercials.    

All 36 of the football teams

In my opinion I think that the game was good but the commercials weren't so good as they were last year.

I challenge you to tell me you favorite football team and why in the    comment section below and to tell         me what I should write about in my        next blog.

Swim to Victory

    Introduction

Swimming in the 2012 Olympics in London in the middle of the race

Have you ever watched the Olympics? Imagine being in the Olympics, Well Michael Phelps has and he has set an all time record for most medals.  He has won 22  medals, 18 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals. Born on June 30, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland he is 28 years old. In the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Phelps four gold medals and two silver medals, making him the most successful athlete of the Olympics for the third time in a row! Imagine being an all star athlete or a V.I.P. and having a whole country watching you, depending on you, cheering for you, wishing you to win and take home the victory for that country up against 203 other country's all competing against you all wanting the same thing as you... VICTORY. The chance to represent your country and your sport. So go ahead and try your hardest cause this opportunity won't come for another four years... if you make it!  

Michael Phelps with all of his gold  medals

Opinion

 In my opinion I think that Michael Phelps is one of the best swimmers not just in America but in the world. He has set records that are so incredible he is number one, this is a big achievement that he should be proud of and he has a country standing behind him that are even prouder than him almost as if he is the king and we all worship him. As an Olympian everyone just wants to take home the gold. Imagine all the pressure all on you, your country, your family, anyone watching all are proud of you. Even if you don't win you know you did your best and that you are okay to take home anything whether it be gold,silver,bronze, or even just dignity. Everyone leaves the stadium a winner. It just happens to be that Michael Phelps is a dedicated man. When most people are hanging out with their friends, staying up late ,and eating junk food Michael Phelps and all of the other athletes are training, in bed no later than eight 'o'clock, eating healthy food (like you should be anyway on a regular basis)like apples,fish,chicken,milk,pineapple and other fruits and veggies, they must maintain a healthy lifestyle because as a lot of parents will tell you, you are what you eat. Imagine being in a race and you don't feel good because the night before you and you friend had pizza and soda and candy, you are certain to not win the race. These people train hard and they look forward to competing with other players every year. So why would they ruin there chance?

What's the message?

Emotional appeal           

 Have you ever seen a commercial that has made you laugh, cry,or even made you just the slightest bit mad?  Well I have.  The technique that was being used Emotional appeal. Emotional appeal is something The commercial above is one that made me laugh. At first I thought it was a commercial for a tablet and then at the end you see it was a commercial for toilet paper. This commercial is funny because the man is yelling at his wife to stop using paper and use electronics and it made her mad, so at the end when he needs toilet paper so she gives him the tablet with a picture of toilet paper on it.            

 Above is another commercial but this one shows endorsement.  Endorsement is when a celebrity or other  famous person endorses a product or idea. The strategy makes you want to buy the product or idea.

Introduction 

Out of Africa comes a giant reptile that lived with dinosaurs-and ate them!  This 40 foot long 8 ton beast is called... ''Super Croc!"  And he is one creature you don't want come face to snout with. This creature is said to be one of the most deadliest  creatures in the world.  He is also said to be the biggest thing to walk planet Earth.  this monster roamed the Earth 110 million years ago. Fortunately you won't be seeing him in your local pond! That a relief. 

My Thoughts 

Some people would say that Super Croc is not real but a myth ( a traditional story). But I for one think Super Croc is real. From the data I collected,I have drawn a conclusion that Super Croc is real. My reason for what you might call bizarre is that I believe in Super Croc but I have an explanation for my craziness, I've seen numerous videos and articles about Super Croc, and they h.ave all had this 40 foot beast in the videos there are also fossil (imprint of something that was once alive) that prove he was alive.                                                                                                                                                                                                  

 

Top ten facts about Super Croc 

1)Weighted more then an African Elephant            

2)Lived 110 million years ago

3) Had armor plates or Scutes on his back

4)He was the biggest creature to live on planet Earth

5) He was found in Godoufaoua

My Challenge for you  

Now you to put your knowledge to the test. I dare you to learn as much as you can about Super Croc and you'll see why this Croc is so super. Read these pages on SuperCroc . I dare you!

  My Opinion 

This Croc probably is one of the most  dangerous creators  to walk on this planet. This beast was interesting to learn about if I were to come across one of these Croc's I don't know what I would do most likely I would run but I know that this Croc is to fast to outrun I would probaly be his lunch! If you were to come face to snout with one of these Croc's what would you do? And how would you do it? Leave your answer in the comment box below.
