The Celebration of Our Nation!

Comparing and contrasting the two posters from below can be a lot easier then it seems. Take Poster 1, the poster with the American flag; it is much brighter and more patriotic. It honors all who gave up their lives for us, and also the ones who served and came back to tell us their stories. While Poster 2, the poster with the shoe print, is much darker and scary. The idea of Veterans Day to me is to be very patriotic and honorable to all those who gave their lives for us. That is why I chose Poster 1 to be the best poster of both of them.

Technology for a Grade!

I used SlideRocket for my midterm part 2. The technology is amazing! SlideRocket is much more advanced than the ordinary PowerPoint. In the beginning it was tricky to use this website, however after watching the tutorial it was much easier. I actually think I would do my project much differently. To explain, after seeing how other classmates used GoAnimate, I would have loved to use that website as well. Regardless, SlideRocket is a good website to keep in mind for the rest of my college life, and my future career.

The Transformation of your Outer Beauty!

Ponyo a young and magical fish wonders away from home to find that she gets stuck in a waste land of local’s trash from the island. Sosuke a young and caring boy finds her and feels the need to help this little, helpless “gold fish.” Little did he know he would become much closer to her then he would have ever imagined. On the other hand, Beauty and the Beast have an interesting relationship as well.

            Ponyo and Sosuke live in different worlds; she lives in a beautiful oasis, with magical creatures surrounding her at every turn. While Sosuke lives in a more coddled environment. His mother is there to take care of him and love him and he talks to his father every chance he gets. They met caused by fate. It was their destiny to be together. Sosuke took Ponyo in when she was hurt and loved her. He took all the responsibility for her and never wanted her to ever leave. At the end of the movie he had to decide if he really loved her or not. Once he pronounced his love for her, she became human and they lived together.

            In Beauty and the Beast, Beauty was really beautiful. Her name was Bella, and she was an odd girl in her small town. She was smart and was not scared to show it. The man in her town even liked her looks, but not so much her. While Beast, well he sure was a beast. He was horrible to Bella at first she didn’t want anything to do with him. He kept her prisoner, which was his first mistake. However, the mansion was sure a pretty place to be stuck in. Once Bella and Beast finally opened up to each other they both loved one and other and broke the spell Beast was in.

            In both movies, they showed how true love is truly magical. Love can change everything about you or Ponyo or even Beast. Love will change the world and we get to see it all happen right in front of our faces, or TV screens.  

Orange Juice, Apple Juice, Everyone Loves Fruit Juice!

The following is a comparison-contrast of two commercial: Commercial one is Motts Apple juice and commercial two is Ocean Spray juice. They are selling the same product which is juice, but they both have their own way of selling it to their audience. To compare them, Motts and Ocean Spray are both set out doors, and both have a motto. Motts is “Ready, Set, Grow” and Ocean Spray is “Grower Owned since 1930”.

However, to contrast them, Motts is selling to moms for their tots, when Ocean Spray is selling to everyone. Motts is semi-serious when they tell their audience that Motts is there for their children every set of the way, and explains that everyone as a child drinks Motts. On the other hand, Ocean Spray is humorous when they explain what they put in their juice and how their audience should buy their produce. Then again, Motts has a catchy song playing in the background the whole time the commercial is playing which makes their audience remember that commercial. Above all, Motts and Ocean Spray are both juice sellers and just want their audience to buy their product.
