The Ending of The Giver.

We currently finished reading The Giver. Although I hardly even read, I found this book a bit unique and interesting. It made me see the world differently. The fact that they had "Sameness" and what not all throughout the book, made it interesting to read. Towards the end, I am confused whether the died in the snow, or is Jonas dreaming? In my point of view, I think it depends on the reader. The ending is a bit ambiguous and allows the reader to make their own decision at the end of the book.

Ideal Community.

My Ideal Community I chose, was viewed via PowerPoint. I partnered up with Cesar Ruiz and decided to make it happen. We wanted to be a little bit unique with this assignment, and decided to narrow it down to one of the themes from The Giver; Sameness. Our community is basically based off equality. No one is left behind. Although it wasn't the best due to our images and short slides, I still think we nailed it when it came to the project in general.

My First English 1A Blog Post.

My advertisement I chose was the new iPhone 5. Apple released it less than a week ago. Apple is known for their awesome and slimness products. They sell Apple products like candy, fast and quick. The iPhone 4 and 4s were one of Apple's biggest hits. They made quick sales over the last two years. It relates incredibly to our American culture today. People now a days are on the go, and with Apple, anything is possible. You can pretty much do anything with your iPhone. Now with the iPhone 5, you can do more awesome things. Apple doesn't even have to advertise their products on TV to make sells. The slickness of the iPhone and it's physical features are enough to make someone want to buy it.

The Final Post.

Having a chance to make a blog, and express yourself in a social way, was amazing. I love how we got to do blogs and do assignments here. It's another perfect example that technology is growing, and we need to take the things we have and learn from it. I enjoyed doing the blogs, it wasn't tough. I would say the toughest thing about the blogs is time management. It requires an extra time and effort to do the blogs and keep updated so you won't loose points. Other than that, It was amazing having to do a class blog..:)

Multimedia.

One of the latest technologies today is the HD television and it's usage. TV's now a days are really thin, and most likely hang-able on the wall. They produce high definition to it's max; meaning clear pictures and voices.







A second item I chose was the infamous Xbox 360. We own 2 of them as well as 2 Wii's and other devices. I chose the Xbox because it's one of the most played games and consoles us teens are using lately. One of the popular games is COD. Call of Duty; Black Ops. Which 9O% of the guys play if they're into video games. I think it's one of the most amazing things invented, yet sad. Yes it can distribute other things as movies, shows, and music; but it can also harm you and leave you lifeless. 



My third item I choose was my laptop. ( Sorry it looks worn out, but it's really not. It's just dirty.) I think it's very important to me because I have all my information there. As well as my other computer. It's pretty portable, and easy to manage. Compared to the old ones and such.



My fourth item was the iPhone 4s. Since 2001, Apple has became more and more popular with it's devices and gadgets they distribute yearly. I was lucky enough to catch Apple's down time and get myself the latest Apple technology; the iPhone 4s in white. The iPhone is a powerful, popular device a lot of people have now a days. You can pretty much do anything with it. But is it affecting our society instead of improving it? Will in 5O years, society be obese due to gadgets and everything being close to them that we don't have to struggle in order to receive it? We will find out.



As my final product I chose was the Apple headphones. Headphones in general. I love music. It keeps me going daily. When there's days I forget my headphones, I feel weird and misplaced. But, can these harm you as well? Society is deaf. We listen to music daily more than what we listen to actual humans. We connect the white wires into our ears and ignore the world. It's fine to use them, but not take advantage of them.

Titanic Massacre.

The movie I choose was Titanic. The ultimate classic movie. The director is James Cameron. I picked this movie because it's one of my favorite movies I can watch all my life if I have to. It's interesting because it's about a girl named Rose, and a guy named Jack who travel on one of the biggest boats in history; Titanic, the unsinkable ship, the irony. Then they start falling in love little by little. At the end, the ship ends up sinking, and Rose and Jack struggle to survive. Rose ends up surviving, but sadly Jack dies and sinks under water. There are no survivers alive today. The last surviver was Milvina Dean, who passed away this year at age of 97. It is said, that she was only 9 weeks old when the Titanic sunk. This movie is clearly romantic/tragedy. Love and disaster occurs throughout the movie as Jack and Rose try to make the best out of themselves, and end up trying to survive. One message of the movie stood out to me. How you can love one person so much, and give your life to it. The movie it's self is amazing. I love everything about it, except towards the end where almost 2,000 people end up dying. What's best about it as well, is that it was a real life event. Meaning it actually happened. The ship itself lays on the North Atlantic Ocean, millions of miles under water. This movie is a must watch. If you haven't seen it by now, or think you will never, then you're crazy.
