This is my montage.


In my montage I used various clips in order to show a change on a personal level. The change shown in my montage is one of love to loss. When a soldier goes off to war no one thinks about how that impacts the family, no one things about what the family feels or if that soldier was in love, no one knows the intentions of that soldier. My montage shows how losing someone impacts someone and causes them a tremedous amount of pain. So the next time someone goes off to war, dont assume they will come back, hope and pray they will, but there forever remains that possiblity that they may not return home alive.

The Interview

The political cartoon shown is clearly being used to announce that Black Americans are inhuman people who are harming others with Obama’s approval. The man in the cartoon is trying to make a false statement by saying its Obama’s fault that all these hideous actions are occurring. By stating “white kid beaten on school bus” and “Obama’s America” it is clear that in fact the smoking man is saying everything is Obama’s fault. However through analyzing the cartoon one could state that the people blaming Obama are ignorant, uncaring, impatient people. One could make that assumption by looking at the man who has painted the black in the cartoon, because he smoking his is clearly in a rush-therefore impatient, and only a severely rude person would make a statement like such. So clearly this cartoon goes both ways, you could state that this cartoon is trying to show how some see everything that occurs to be Obama’s fault, or you could state that the people making these false assumptions about Obama are rude, ignorant people.







COLLAGE

This collage was made by myself and another student. It is within the images shown the emotions expressed and the Fear of Hell is fully used.

William Bradstreet

Thesis:
In an excerpt from William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation, although the puritans experience hardship in their voyage to America, in their initial arrival and in their dealings with the Indians, they still maintain their reverence to God and to one another [their `initial reason for fleeing England]


Paragraph One, Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford
September 6 [1620]. These troubles being blown over, and now all being compact together in one ship, they put to sea again with a prosperous wind, which continued divers days together, which was some encouragement unto them; yet, according to the usual manner, many were afflicted with seasickness. And I may not omit here a special work of God’s providence. There was a proud and very profane young man, one of the seamen, of a lusty, able body, which made him the more haughty; he would always be contemning the poor people in their sickness and cursing them daily with grievous execrations; and did not let to tell them that he hoped to help to cast half of them overboard before they came to their journey’s end, and to make merry with what they had; and if he Were by any gently reproved, he would curse and swear most bitterly. But it pleased God before they came half seas over, to smite this young man with a grievous disease, of which he died in a desperate manner, and so was himself the first that was thrown overboard. Thus his curses light on his own head, and it was an astonishment to all his fellows for they noted it to be the just hand of God upon him.


I choose this paragraph because of the use of irony. In this short exterpt from Of Plymouth Plantation the young man is basically belittling each of the passengers for becoming seasick, however in the end the young man is the one who catches a diease and dies. This may be the first paragraph, but it is the one that caught my attention.

What is was an American? An American was once not like this man in the passage, an American once never would belittle someone when they are already down. An once American would not laugh at those in pain. An American once helped, and encouraged those who are weak to keep going, to never give up. Now an American cares only for themselves, they will do whatever it takes to win. Americans do not care who gets hurt, as long as they surrive thats all they worry about. As it has been said many times before, only the strong surrive.




What was an American?

It was once said that Americans are honest, trust worthy and giving. Well welcome to the twenty first century. Now days most Americans don't care about others, their main concern is making money and spending money, and if your going to spend money your going to spend the least amount possible.

The American people have become so horrid, so now it appears as if no americans care for others.
In the political cartoon, shown states "I pledge my alliegience to the flag, of the people's republic of China. And to the slave labor for which it stands--One dollar per hour -insignificant- with benefits and tariffs toward none." This clearly means that this particular American only cares about money, as if the Chinese are worthless scum, who should do nothing besides work. And work cheaply at that. Oviously proving that Americans are not the same as we once were known. Nowdays Americans are known as rude, arrogant, snobby people.

Paraphase
This writing recalls the puritans and their trip to the new world aboard the mayflower. Along the way, they experience seasickness, fear, doubt, harsh weather conditions and starvation. It is not what they expect, yet they rely on God in their journey to keep them safe.

Theme:
How the puritans act of leaving England due to Religious Persecution really reflects their courage, Perseverance and strength, along with their never-dying reverence to God.

Anne Bradstreet

For centuries long before the 21st century women had to put up with minimum rights if any, which met whatever the men said they did obediently. By examining the political cartoon it is clear that the women has bare minimum rights, and is forced to work towards her own happiness. Now times have changed, for an instance Anne Bradstreet a famous puritan writer got published, and that was something that never would have happen, due to the preposterous bare minimum rights women had. Also the woman in the political cartoon is in pursuit of happiness and liberty, which isn’t generally something people do in chains. Therefore, times have defiantly changed and people have realized that women deserve the same rights as men, much like today’s society is now


A woman, her love,that is what impressed me. “To My Dear and Loving Husband” is the poem that which impressed me the most. Within the poem “To My Dear and Loving”, Anne Bradstreet expresses her love for her husband and her faith for him. Although the poem has a slight desperation to it, you can tell her love for him is pure, and she’s fearful of losing him.

Thesis:
Through the use of paradox, hyperbolic metaphor and diction in “To My Dear and Loving husband”, Anne Bradstreet conveys genuine emotion as she struggles with the security of puritan doctrine alongside the insecurity of human need for reassurance of love.






You don't realise how much I need you.Love you all the time and never leave you.Please come on back to me. I'm lonely as can be. I need you.Said you had a thing or two to tell me. How was I to know you would upset me?I didn't realise as I looked in your eyes...You told me.Oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore.That's when it hurt me. And feeling like this, I just can't go on anymore.Please remember how I feel about you, I could never really live without you. So, come on back and see just what you mean to me. I need you.But when you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore.That's when it hurt me. And feeling like this, I just can't go on anymore.Please remember how I feel about you. I could never really live without you. So, come on back and see just what you mean to me. I need you. I need you. I need you.


Using this song it is evident to why this is a wise song displaying Anne Bradstreet’s love. “You don't realise how much I need you.Love you all the time and never leave you.Please come on back to me. I'm lonely as can be. I need you.” Within these specific lyrics, you can tell how much Anne Bradstreet loves her husband, and fears losing his love.
