A Day With Harry Styles

If I could pick someone famous to spend a day with, it would be Harry Styles. He's a singer in the band One Direction, but I don't know if they're a band anymore so that's kind of sad but he's still great! I choose him because he seems like a person who would be fun to hang out with and from the millions of videos I saw about him. I think he's worth meeting since he's done a lot for people around the world and made an impact in my life.

The setting is in Florida so imagine this in your head, if you've never been to Florida pick a familiar place to you. We're driving around downtown Venice and decide to stop and walk around the stores that are nearby. I would ask him to sing some songs because I have to take that opportunity. I'd also ask him to recall any embarrassing stories he has because I love hearing those. I would take him to all my favorite beaches in Florida and share the many experiences I had there. We would get food and watch the phenomenal sky. The day goes on with us having fun but sadly the day ends and he leaves.


German Propoganda

Propaganda has been around for many years. It's used to make people believe in what you want them to think. During the Holocaust many people were targeted, such as children and adults. Posters were used to send a message across in various ways. I think that not all propaganda is bad but it depends on the context it's being used in.

The poster I chose was "Mothers! Fight for your children!" I chose this poster because it was interesting in many ways, and people can interpret it differently as well. At first I thought that the poster was telling mothers to join the way of thinking the Nazi's wanted them to believe in. Then I thought it could be saying to persevere and protect your children from anything that can harm them during this time period. I think that they made this poster to control people's thoughts at a young age because as a child you always trust your parents and what they have to say.

Super Bowl Commercial

Personally, I don't watch the Super Bowl and neither does any of my family. So I had to google the commercials that were shown in the super bowl. The commercial I watched was by Airbnb and is called "We Accept". I think this commercial is important to the world today because we are all surrounded by this hate and the amount of protests since the election. Watching this commercial should feel like a wake up call for everyone to realize they should live in profundity and know that everyone is equal to each other. This commercial shows that no matter who you are you should not be judged based on ethnicity, religion, or who you love. Considering how everyone is being affected by Trump's words and them thinking that they don't belong here is sad, so we should remind them that they do belong.

Best Gift I've Given

I've given gifts to a lot of people for numerous occasions. The best gift I think I've given was to my mom. My mom likes moons and things with moons on them so when I saw the gift in an unknown store in the mall, I knew it would be perfect. It was a 3D clay model of a moon that you could paint if you wanted. I was around 8 at the time so I didn't really know which colors went together. This resulted in me painting the moon in various colors. When I gave my mom the gift I could see how happy she was, and it made me feel good since she still kept it after all of those years.


Worst Argument I Had

I've had many arguments with people and that's pretty bad, but after each one I noticed two things: they were toxic or I needed them in my life. One argument I had was with a friend of mine (A) and his friend (M). M didn't like me and I didn't like her, but of course A was best friends with both of us.  M started a bunch of drama which was funny since I ignored her all the time. Then one day she told A that I hated him and talked behind his back to her. I was mad because he believed her even though I had screenshots of my conversations with M.

In the end he forgave me and M still didn't like me. I wish my friendship with A lasted but sadly we stopped being friends because he changed. He was a toxic friend for sure but I still miss him.


Advice to our President

 I have a lot of advice for our new president, Donald Trump. Since he is our leader he has to respect everyone and treat them equally. I'm saying this because whenever he talks about anything, he insults people in someway.  So, because of that people protest every day in hopes of getting the respect they deserve. Another piece of advice I have is to do what's best for our country as a whole and not just for a certain group of people. I know that he'll never see this, but the fact that a 14 year old is giving advice to a grown man is sad. Hopefully, he'll realize how his actions affect us negatively and should be reliable to our country as well.
