6.9.10 - Painful and Fun Day. :)

Today I went to go get a shot at the doctor because I'm leaving for Canada this Sunday !

It was a flu shot and it stung a little. After our shot my sister and I went to the waiting room and watched TV when all of a sudden our mom came out and told us that we both still had one shot that we hadn't taken !

We went back inside and we had to get a Tetanus shot which hurt so much there were tears running down my cheeks. :S

When we got home my sister and I saw this guy selling FISH outside our house !! :) We decided we wanted pet fish so my sister and I picked two black fish and named them Midnight and Moon. I think this is the first time i've ever had a fish as a pet, and believe me i've had LOTS of pets.

I found this day fun even though I didn't spend any of it out doing something with friends.

Ask any question or You may lie ?

I'd rather ask any question because lying doesn't really matter but everyone wonders if they could ask a question without being rude and if they could ask a question knowing they'll get an answer. Lying is easy to some people's eyes, all they have to do is look at the person and lie but asking a question requires precision of language so you would get the answer you want. Lying sometimes has its advantages, like getting out of trouble etc. etc. etc. but asking a question can be so useful ! Because if you ask a question and you get an answer you can go so far with that, unlike lying. If I put myself in Jonas' shoes I would use the ability of asking as much questions as I want and getting an answer rather than lying since lying isn't so useful and according to Jonas in the book they were taught never to lie in their community.

Jonas' Journal Entry of what is happening so far in THE GIVER

I received my assignment today.

Or should I say I was "selected" today since I was "selected" as the new Receiver of Memory ?

I feel frightened of what the chief elder said, that I would have to experience PHYSICAL pain.

Even though she said that I am still brave enough to go through it all.

I do not know what I would become, or what would become of me.

Why this advertisement won an award

This advertisement won an award because it showed awareness that not everybody wants the same thing and some people just want a home.

Elements:

Symbolism - The surroundings of the little kid in the box symbolize the horrible places on the street where some people live and how they deserve to have a home.

Body Language - The way the kid is lying down inside the box shapes just like the girl who's on the computer to show that some people get their brand new computer and all that kid gets is a cardboard home.

Camera Angles - The way the camera is pointing at the box is to the side and the reason for that is to show the body language they used for this picture which as I mentioned in the other element of body language, the picture shows how happy a girl is because she got a new computer on the side of the box while it shows the legs of a homeless child who is using that box as a home.

Lighting and Color - The way the lighting and color element was used was like this: nearing the bottom where it said the caption of the advertisement 'NOT ALL KIDS WANT THE SAME THING FOR CHRISTMAS' the color of the font was white while the cement behind the caption was black and as it went further up the advertisement the lighting became brighter so we could see the real point of the advertisement.

Layout - The arrangement of the items in this advertisement was made like this to be perfect. The way the box was put towards the left side so there would be more space for the legs of the child with a small amount of space in which the gate was placed with the graffiti piece right in the middle of the gate next to the worn out brick wall.
