School's Out!!


School's Out!!

My first year of middle school has finally come to an end. It has been a very exciting year for me!!! It seems only yesterday when I walked through the gates of middle school for the first time. I was so nervous! When I was at P.E.L in 5th grade I felt that I was one of the biggest people in school, but that all changed when I moved to middle school. I felt like a tiny first grader again, so curios about everything you see.

As I was progressing through the year. I think I've done a fairly good job in maintaining my "A" grades throughout all the subjects in 6th grade. I think I have improved a lot in my English and P.E from 5th grade.

Now what will I be doing spending the next 2 months at home?!? Well during  the holidays I'll be playing basket ball and I will be going for "Aqua dragons" every single day, Monday to Friday :(( I'm doing this because I need to keep healthy and fit. I know this will be hard work, but in the end it will be good for me in the long run. 

I also will be preparing for 7th grade next year by practicing my; Math,Spanish, Writing, Reading and e.t.c. Next Monday I will be going for a trip to the Library to check out some books to read. I don't really get why  do you have to pay 150$ deposit in the library. Because if you loose a book which costs less than 150$ they get to keep the 150$. I think that's not fair. Instead we should just pay the library how much the book costs.

I think that in these two months of summer I will be very occupied!!

Video Advertising

  • Person: Emma Fukar
  • Purpose: Increases hair strength and makes your hair smooth & silky
  • Target Audience: Teenage Girls and above
  • Why Effective?: Because it shows the lady doing karate with a man, then the man grabs her hair and slips through, this indicates that DJ Wills Shampoo makes your hair smooth. Then  laser beams pop up from everywhere and traps the woman. She then smashes her hair against the beams and they all then she grabs her hair and gives it a pull and she opens her hand to show that no hair fell from her head. These two actions represent that it increases hair strength.

Ahhh, what's going on? I can't believe I'm going to be the next "Receiver of Memories".  Everybody is saying it is a great honor, but then the chief elder told me I will have to go through great pain, physically and I'm not even allowed to take medication for the pain, as it said on the rules and Why Is That? On the steps and rules of training, it said I can ask anyone anything. Would they actually allow me to ask about the person that failed their training for the Receiver of Memories. So many questions to ask, but then again I could still ask them no matter how rude it is.

Target Audience: Children from 9yrs.-11yrs.old

1. Symbolism: The ad is trying to say that some children may want toys and e.t.c, but others just want a roof above their head. I think that Covenant House is like an orphanage that house children from the street, making them happy.

2. Body Language:  I think the message in the ad should be big and it should have a contrast to catch your eye before you look at the picture

3. Camera Angle: The picture is taken from the side and shows the full picture

4. Special Effects: The house in the back looks old and abandoned, which means that this place is a run down area. Any type of metal you see is rusted. It looks kind of dark so I think the picture is in an alley way. Since the alley way is dark, rusted metal,unclean.I think he's not the only child who needs a shelter.

5. Lighting and Color:  The part where the message is dark in the background, while the message is in light colors. Above the message part there is not much of contrast. Except the box is bright  while surrounding the box there is a dark background. So the 2 things that will catch the person's eye, will be the message and the main picture.

6.  Beauty and Standing: I think this part in the deconstruction of an ad would be the hardest part. I couldn't really find some thing in the ad for this part.

7.  Target and Graphics: The ad is trying to say that some children may want toys and e.t.c, but others just want a roof above their head. I also think that the ad is trying to make kids to stop being greedy about things they want, instead they should feel affectionate for the kids on the road who don't have as much as other rich  kids.

What's you favorite type of book?

Do you think you hate reading. Well actually you maybe just not reading the books you like. You see I always hated reading, but my sister will just keep on reading until you say "STOP." I could never read a book nonstop, even if my parents tried to force me. One time I just said to myself  " Why don't I try reading the last book of the Harry Potter series." And that's what I did. Once I finished the first page I was hooked on the book and I read nonstop. It took me just 2 days to finish an 800 page book. I then read another book related to HP, it's title was "Eragon". I immidiately got hooked. Then I thought to myself I don't hate reading, I'm not just reading the books I like. My favorite type of books are Horror, Suspense, Mystery and Fast Paced books. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE.

Summary of "The Giver" by Lois Lowry

  Communities,  each community there are strict rules, like language. Jonas feels apprehensive of ceremony of 12 saying this at dinner table.
