Most of our society is focused mostly on brands now when it’s time to buy clothing or other necessities like phones or purses or cologne things like that.But the most targeted brand conscious people are teenagers.The cortex of our brain is activated as soon as we something trending and we immediately say “oh everyone has that I should have it too.”It has play in our Social status.When it comes to seeing Levi’s or vans or apple or Nike our ventral striatum activates.The simple Idea of “COOL” was not to comfort or integrate with mainstream media.The 1984 commercial says that their rival IBM’s consumers are all lemmings because they used the same product they had instead of using the main brand apple.In my opinion brands don’t say anything about you because I rather be wearing off brand clothing but be driving my Camaro I think that brand clothing is unimportant to me it’s dumb because all clothing is the same to me.

I think their is a huge difference when it comes to paying for something that you need and something that you really don’t need like gas for me is important because I like driving around and cruising with my friends but when it comes to wasting money on like a car wash it’s sucks but then it also sucks to be driving around in a dirty car so it feels bad but then it feels good.I think companies use human psychology to their advantage because like the apple products everyone has them and when apple releases a new product everyone who is a apple fan has to immediately have one because their “COOL”.So I think that big companies like apple use that to their advantage.

This film was very interesting it was very interesting because it shows many different points of views on how many people live their daily life sometimes its not as easy as it looks.I think its very unfair that the middle class is the strong base of the american economy and everyone from the middle class is treated very badly they aren’t given any special opportunities.I think its bad that the middle class is treated unfairly even tho they are the ones who are doing all the hard work and aren’t getting paid what they should be making.I think living in the middle class means to be able to pay rent on time to be able to buy food and provide for your family not to be struggling every month to pay off your rent or to put food on the table.

I think its very unfair that their is no type of democracy because that means they put the people first and they have a say in things but in this point we have no say.Its sad that the actual working class is getting poorer and poorer while the Rich are getting Richer that too me is not a functional country.I think that my goal of working one job and going to school wont cut it because the middle class isn’t getting paid what we deserve to be getting paid.The main reason of me actually trying to graduate and become someone bigger in the world is mostly because I hate seeing my mom tired of working and I want to be able to one day provide for her how she has been providing for me all these years.

In my opinion I support kaepernick’s decision because he has the right to do what he wants where he wants when he wants because he is american citizen and the united states is all about personal rights and being able to have freedom of speech.In my opinion I think they shouldn’t be making such a big deal about his decision because its his personal rights he should be able to do what he wants. And also in the NFL on his contract it says he has the right to stand up or sit down during the national anthem.Like in the article” in the land of the free are you free too sit down during the national anthem” By jaweed Kaleem his quote says “I cannot stand and sing the anthem,I cannot salute the flag.I know that I am a black man in a white world,”he wrote in” “I never had it made”-J Robinson In my opinion i think that Robinson makes a really good point because out no respect their was always racism againt’s blacks Hispanic’s and many other races but racism is still going on everywhere with police brutality or the killing of many black people I find that racist because of experience when me and my dad got pulled and were Hispanics you see like 8 cop cars pull up and pull out their guns even tho we dont have anything but you see a white man get pulled over and you only see one cop i dont understand what the big deal is their. I think that kaepernick’s decision is a really good one because he’s famous and many people are going to look up to him and many are going to start realizing what’s actually going on.

 

It was early spring and I waited for Emi to be able to come home and I watched everything that was happening.the entire west coast was held down.many were being deported to japan and I was saying it was very unfair and father said I am an enemy alien on parole.and mother wanted to leave camp but as long as father was helping around we had to stay. Emi finally came home wearing her red dress her grandmother sewed for her.She ate the cookies they were saving for her.I heard a long banging noise and father went to open the door to talk to the man.They told father to leave the camp as fast as possible.mother made tea to calm us down.three days later I heard a loud crash.We are finally leaving. Emi was gonna stay behind. Mr.toda had run out of hope he said it was for the best.I walked out and saw the sun and the bright colors it felt like freedom and I said Hello World.

As I walked out in a hurry I saw a short little girl about my size she looks like she’s nice her grandmother welcomed me in today I met a new family i’m going be able to have a friend that lives next door now.I told her that I’ve been starved since yesterday and she quickly  pulled out 5 rice cakes and made Tea she invited mom and grandpa over to have a quick bite we got to know each others families a lot better.

Oh this place makes me feel like we’re animals size of a horse stall no covers on the bathrooms just a hole in the ground we have no privacy these walls are so thin you can hear each other whisper.my daughter is hungry and I dont have anything to feed her I have nothing to make her happy my luggage hasn’t shown up man I wish my stuff would get here to have my things with me my foods my clothes my cloths.what did we do to deserve this.

It’s the last time i’m in my own house it’s different no furniture no food i’m going miss my house i’m going miss my family i’m going to  miss my dad i miss him so much i can’t be without him.Mother looks in every room people buying our house there is nothing here for us we are being sent away like animals.

Many of my friends are being dealt with very bad we are not getting any benefits from selling all of our stuff we are loosing a lot of money losing many valuable things.I think that we are not going to be good in the camps we are being sent to I think we are going to end up dying it’s all just propaganda. We only have 10 days to be ready to leave.

My Reflection-

Their are many things that I learned this first semester Many interesting things many things that made me realize that the English teacher I have is great and has a lot of patience towards me and I appreciate that a lot about her i learned that even though shes a teacher she cares a lot for her students on how there life is at school and how it is at home.I think that Ms. Terzic is a great teacher. But learning wise i learned many new things about climate change many things about electricity on how we are running out of many if resources we use and on how there are many ways on how to be able to reuse energy and how to produce energy.I learned about how racism is really bad too this day and how it gets worse and worse.I learned a lot about police brutality also on how to appropriately wright an essay and the formats there are.The last book we read was very interesting I learned that the Japanese had a hard life in the U.S and how they were sent to internment camps.What i liked the most about the class is that our teacher is always in a very good mood she is super nice and she helps us with everything she can and how she makes the class interesting and not boring,I also really liked our book that we finished reading about The Journey To Topaz its a really well written story.I honestly dont have anything to say about what I didn’t like because everything went very smoothly this first semester.I think I was able to grow in my strengths because going into the first day of class my strengths where weak and throughout the classes we would work on them also on paying attention during class or being respectful to the teacher when she is speaking.I think that many of the things that would go on id be able to talk to Ms. Terzic about them and she would always help me out.Some insights that i gained was that i got to know everyone very well not everyone but a few people that I didn’t talk to i got to meet them and talk to them we where able to work in groups and everything would go fine.I learned that its good to meet new classmates and make new friends.But through out this whole semester I dont think I would’ve had any better teacher then Ms. Terzic because I think that she’s the best teacher out there and I dont think I would’ve learned as much as I did with any other teacher.And I dont think there should be anything that Ms. Terzic should change about her teaching because she’s the best English teacher I’ve had so far.I am really looking forward to second semester to learn knew things that Ms. Terzic has planned for us.This first semester was full of new things and i really enjoyed the class and everything that we learned.

Thank you Ms. Terzic.
