The upcoming year

The thing that impacted me where a lot of the new songs that where made this year. Some of my favorite songs where made like 'What does the fox say? or I have found my favorite songs like "Headphones" by Britt Nicole.












The thing that impacted me the most in my life was when my was the day my dad went to the hospital witch was April 11of this year. He went because he had diabetes but didn't know about it. It impacted me the most because I didn't know how bad diabetes could be but when my dad got it I knew how bad it was.
The other thing that is tied with my dad was when my Great-grandmother passed away. She was 96 years old when she died  and it impacted me a lot because I remember the day she told me that her goal in life was to make it to 100 years old. She didn't make it and that made me sad .
That is what these two things impacted my life the most.

This is picture of dad, great-grandmother
and I.
 
 
The news event that I am going to remember the most was the school shooting that happened. I feel that it was a very sad moment for all and is just really thought me that anything can happen to anyone and that I should be more careful. It was the news event that thought me the most and I hope that this will never happen ever again.
 
 
I am looking forward in 2014 is a lot of peace. For everyone to be healthy. I am also looking forward to better grades I am going to try even harder to get to my goal witch is to have every class a A+.

 

 Challenge

Tell me what you are looking for the upcoming year.

Your brain has autocorrect.


Introduction

You may not believe it but your brain is smarter than any computer out there. Many computers have autocorrect so if I were to write "cna" it will autocorrect to "can." Your brain actually does that on a regular  basis. For example, mani of yto cen undrestend whst I an tyepng.  When you read this and understands it your brain autocorrecting. Many scientists believe that people don't even have time to realize what there brain is doing because it is happening so quick. Good readers  often don’t read words one letter at a time. Instead, most readers  just recognize the  words by  seeing the first and last letters of the word. These are the things they are looking for,  length, shape and meaning of the word.

 

                My Opinion

I feel that are brains are just so cool for doing what they do. A lot of autocorrects that come in phones often don't give you the word you where looking for. So I defiantly think that are brains are smarter than computers. I would never think that we can be more useful to ourselves than any other thing. A lot of the times when we think of the color pink in blue  it takes us a long time to say it is really pink. I think it is amazing how much of a autocorrect we have.


                       Top ten facts about our brain




1.
   Our brain can predict the future.
This is scientifically proven.



2.
Teens brains are not fully formed. They are still getting there.

3.
Your brain is more active when you are asleep. When
you are doing your stuff during the day at night it
goes through every ting you have done to remember it.


4.Men use there brains 10% more than a woman does.
This happens because a mans brain is smaller so they have to think more.



5.Your brain takes up a lot of energy. It does this because
it needs to remember a lot of stuff like sensing memorizing
etc.
 

6.People have different sized brains. People with
large heads have lager brain then a person with a
small head.

7.A brain as no pain. Pain is a warning that something
is happening to us.

Your brain has 100 billion neurons. When we think, laugh
move etc.. it gives a signal to all these neurons.
 
 
 
 
9.Your brain has two parts the left side and the right side.
The left side of your brain controls the right sided mussels and the
right side controls the left sided mussels.



10.Your brain creates a new wrinkle when you learn something.
We do this to remember what we learned.

Was Santa Clause real ??

Introduction 

  Many people don't believe in Santa Clause but he his real. He was born 270 A.D in a small Greek village in the southern coast which is now Turkey. According to Christian tradition he was named Saint Nicolas because of the many good deeds he did. His good deeds were giving gold to many poor people in his village while they were asleep on Christmas. That is why many people believe that Santa Clause gives gifts to children.

                 My Opinion

  I believe that  Santa was alive back then. I don't believe that he is still around today. It is true that there was a Saint Nick, but that was very long ago.  I feel that it was very nice of Saint Nick to give gold to poor people. I think  that is was vey unselfish and kind for him to think of other people that way. Because of his good deed, he is very popular. That was not his intension witch means he didn't give that to people gold  just to become famous. He did it out of the kindness of his heart.


 Top Ten People who I believe have done good for other people


1.Abraham Lincoln- He had many challenges to achieve his goal. He wanted to abolishment slavery. Because of his famous speech Gettysburg he got to his goal and also became the most influential American President.
2.Martin Luther King- Inspiring leader of the non-violent civil rights movement. He fought for African Americans to be treated the as white men and woman.
3.Mother Teresa- Went out of her way to help others. Expected nothing in return all she wanted was for people to be happy.
4.Malala Yousafzai- A school girl who fought woman's education. She was one  of the youngest people to receive a Nobel Prize.
5. Nelson Mandela- Fought to help to freedom of South American. Spent a lot of time getting beat up just because she shared her ideas.
6.Mahatma Gandhi - . He did all things non-violent because he didn't believe in physically hurting someone.  He stopped eating "sugar" only so he could tell a child to give up sugar. He  lives by the phrase, "be the change you wish to see".
7.George Washington - First president of the United States. Fought in a war to portect hies country.
8.Winston Churchill - Fought against the Nazi. Not for him but for his people.
9.Anwar El Sadat - Third president of Egypt that worked for the better. He worked to bring his region at peace.
10.Jesus  Christ- Cared for others for very unselfish reasons. He sacrificed his life for us.

CHALLENGE  

My challenge is for you to tell be in the comment below the 2 people you think have done good for others.
My question is " Do you believe Saint Nick is still alive today?"
My final thought is I don't believe Saint Nick is around today but I do believe he was alive in the past.

Why is it called black friday?

Introduction

Have you ever wonder why we have Black Friday or why it is called Black Friday? One reason they call it Black Friday is because in stores the color red means losing money and the color black means getting money. So this became a tradition that the day after Thanksgiving it  will be the day to make a lot of money. In order to do that, they put out lots of sales. That is the reason why we call it Black Friday. The reason we have Black Friday is so that it makes the person that is buying something get it for a really cheap prices because everything is on sale and that also gives the store money because of the sales they have because most people would want to buy something that is cheaper than the original price.
 
Here are some people trying to get a head start on the sales.

               My Opinion

I think that it is smart name to call it Black Friday and to have it because it gives everybody a chance to get something that they want. The customer wants to buy something so they get it , and the people in the store get her money. Sometimes I do think that Black Friday could get a little out of hand so I think that if someone were to go shopping during this day to really be careful.


                Top Ten items not to but during Black Friday.

1. Fitness Equipment- Can be found cheaper in January. Cheaper because it is a start to get fit and it can be on people new years resolution.                            
2. Auto Supplies- Can be found cheaper in the Spring. That is when you can get the best deals.
3.Winter Clothes- Tend to cost more in the season needed. It is cheaper because they want to get winter clothes out of the way to get the summer stuff in.
4.Toys- Better deals can be found  two weeks before Christmas. It is cheaper because of the sales it has for Christmas.
5.Tools- Can be found cheaper around Fathers Day. It is cheaper because it is something the kids sometimes will get,a tool there dad wants.
6. Home Improvements Supplies-Can be found cheaper around Fathers Day. It is cheaper because it is the type of thing a kid will get his/her dad.
7. Holiday décor- They have better deals during the end of the season. It is not something you would usually buy at the end so they make it cheaper so that they will get rid of that stock.
8. High End T.V Sets- At this time company's tend to focus more in lower end T.V. products. So it will be better not to but it and just wait for it to be a normal day.
9. Gas Grills- Can be cheaper in September. I think it is because it is starting to be cold and people have less BBQ.
10. Electron Accessories- They become higher than original prices. That is because they actual electronic becomes cheaper.
          

                    Challenge

                Are you going Black Friday shopping if so what are you going to buy? My final thought is that Black Friday could get out of hand so it would be best if everyone has a safe time shopping. My challenge is for you to think about  what your buying and when you are buying it.

Why is my foot asleep?


Introduction

Have you ever wondered why your foot or leg has fallen asleep? This is 100% normal often people  might think it is the lack of blood flowing to that part of your body. This can be one reason but not exactly right, have you ever sat on your leg for a long time then once you get up it is asleep this happens because as you are sitting on it ,your compressing your nervous. When you do this that part of your body temporality looses communication with your brain. When you give your  leg some time or change the form of your sitting your brain and your leg start to "talk" again.

           My Opinion

My foot goes to sleep all of the time! Most of the time it is because I am sitting on it or I have not moved it in a long time. The reason I choose this topic is because I started to think that it was not normal but according to wonderopolis it is normal for anything to fall asleep like your leg, foot and even arm. I do feel that it is still not too safe to sit on my foot all the time. Even though my foot is just temporality loosing connection with my brain it is scary to know that I cant really control my foot for that time. Although people say that it is because of your blood flowing that is still a reason why your foot fell asleep. I  now think that I may never sit on my foot or leg again. That pins and needles feeling is not going to happen to me as often now that I know why it happens.

   Challenge:

 Tell me that now you know  how your foot falls asleep  you will be more careful or less careful of your foot falling asleep.

The Truth About Commerical

Introduction

There are different types of commercials one of them is emotional appeal which means it shows emotion it makes you laugh or it makes you cry. That is you  showing emotion, many commercials are funny because it is light hearted and  wants to get you to laugh and that way it would make you buy the product. They also make commercials sad so that you feel bad and help them by, buying the product .Check out the first video for an example. Another type of commercial is name calling commercial. This means putting another product down to make is seem like yours is  better. For example if I make a commercial I might know that another one is better so I would want to put it down. So that other people will like mine better and they might go along with the trick that mine is better and buy it. Check out the second video for an example.  More information on types of commercials CLICK HERE .



In this first video it is sad because many kids are getting bullied
when they haven't done anything wrong. When you are feeling
upset you might not want to see it because you might cry.
The reason this is emotional appeal is that if you do cry or feel sad
then you are showing your emotion, and that is why you call it
emotional appeal.





This is a name calling commercial because atat is putting down Verizon. Therefor
there trying to say that atat has faster loading  then verizon. A lot of commercials
like to have competition so this will be a example of that because atat is putting down
is saying that the loading isn't fast and that is a smart commercial because loading
is something that many people get annoyed by because it is not fast enough people
want to be up to date on this fastest loading phone.

My Opinion

    I feel emotional appeal grabs a lot of peoples attention. Personally I think that it is the most influential type of commercial because of what it makes people feel something in side. For example, if a commercial is sad and makes us feel sorry or makes us feel like we have done something  wrong. We might stop and think about the actions that we need to take. In order to take an action, we need to feel something in are heart to tell us to do that. We might start by seeing a commercial and getting touched by it and then doing it. I feel that if a commercial is making us feel a certain way it has a ten times better chance of getting us to do something. What  I like about the commercial is how it is saying how words can hurt just as mush as fists can. The strategies used that will make me want to do it. I feel bad on  how the girl that is getting bullied ,but doesn't say anything ,so that is telling me that if someone were to go through that I will stick up for them. I fell that the target is for kids that are getting bullied and for kids that are seeing other people get bullied. I think that message will get across because it is so sad and when I see something sad it makes me want to get up and do it , make the change.

    Some thing that I feel about name calling commercials  is that a lot of people focus on the other products and try to put there product down when they should focus on the product that there making and try to improve it, but censes there so focus on other peoples work. They don't realize or say to them self " Maybe there is room to improve, maybe  I a can make my product more useful so that I can get the customers  I want." Of them not realizing that, there getting less people to buy it. This is way I think of name calling is  not  useful. I  also think that this is targeted for normal people in every day use of there phone and what I mean by normal is like people who aren't trying to finding out what the latest phone is and update there phone every minute, just for people who want a phone to talk and text that's all. I do like commercial I just don't think it will sell many of these phones because it doesn't have that nice catch or name that will stick in to your head. What I do like about this commercial is that it not saying that Verizon isn't fast there just showing the comparison so Verizon is ok, just not as fast as there's. Some stuff they did make me want to but it like the visual is good and it is funny how the guy comes out of the "phone." for more information click here.




                                                   Top 5 Emotional Appeal
This commercial is emotional because it is funny how the kids are dancing. I feel
like the commercial is for kids because they will find this commercial funny
and there the once that have sweets. A lot of adults cut sweets out of there diet
so this might not be targeted for them.




This commercial is  emotional because it is funny how the polar bear is knocking in to
everyone. It is unusual for a polar bear to fight for a drink. This bear wants to be the
very first to drink out of it and that is what makes it special.



This commercial is emotional appeal because it is funny how
the little dog knocks down the whole door. I feel that this
commercial is targeted for kids and teens because a lot of
adults are on diets and wont eat that. Also the dog is super
cute so that makes it even better for teenage girls.



I think this commercial is emotional appeal because it is
not normal how the cat  runs through the wall. This cat might be
funny to some boys so there is that target they can go for. I
feel that this is targeted for young people that have cats.




I feel that this is emotional appeal because I like the fact that a cat is talking. This is  a
movie for kids and a funny one so I think this commercial is targeted for young kids.
Maybe some people that are into the movie.


                                             Top 5 Name Calling commercials



I feel this is name calling the dell tablet is putting down the I Pad. This commercial I
feel that is targeted for college students or parents' that need to but something
for there kids on a holiday. They  are putting this I pad because it is one of the
most popular tablets that people have.




This is a name calling commercial because there putting down the I Pad.
This commercial is also attacking the I pad because appeal is a great company and makes good
products' that a lot of people like. So other company are trying to make it look bad so that they can get more sales.




This is name calling because Verizon is saying that it is
better that atat. This commercial i feel is targeted for older people.
Verizon isn't really ruing anybody there just saying who has  a better
costumers.



This is a name calling commercial because atat is saying that
it is better than Verizon. This commercial is targeted for people
who like Verizon. I feel that atat is trying to steal Verizon
costumers.


This last one is also a name calling commercial because it is putting down the I Pad. I feel
that this is targeted for I pad lovers. There trying to seal there costumers.

 

Challenge:

The challenge is to tell me what your favorite type of commercials is  and what your least favorite is.
Would you ever make your own commercial? My final thought is that name calling isn't useful and emotional appeal is.

Clay Army

Introduction

Over 2,000 years ago China became destiny. Qin -Shi Huang at the age of 13 became abused with his death. So abused  he made his soldiers build him a clay army so that the army can protect him while he is dead. It took 2000 people to build this army. Many of his soldiers would disagree with his plan. When this happened he would drunken them then bury them alive. The people that usually got killed were kids and woman.

My Opinion

I dislike Qin-Shi Huang because it was very selfish of him jut to bury kids and woman just because they had different opinions then he did. Theses people had there whole lives ahead of them they had dreams that wanted to achieve but they couldn't because Qin-Shi Huang  couldn't accept there difference. Another reason I don't like him is he put about 2000 people to work because of his clay army a lot of the people didn't even have a choose to work as his soldiers and it was unfair they couldn't tell him what they really felt.
