Weekly Post:

 



Every so often the YouTube algorithm blesses me with a gem of a video from several years ago that has nothing to do with my current interests or viewing history. It's like being handed a Christmas gift from your Uncle who really couldn't think of one thing that you personally have some interest in to make a meaningful gift. You open it with little to no expectations, yet, we're pleasantly surprised. We actually... kinda like it.. Is it because of the quality of the gift itself? Or are we pleased because we didn't know what to expect? Or that he'd even give us a gift in the first place?

This hidden gem of a video that popped into my feed today is very... bizarre, but innocently hilarious. But it made my day. Maybe that due to my dad being a drummer most of his life, we got to enjoy this random video more because he appreciated the absurdity this situation. Whatever takeaway you leave with, I hope it surprises you too and could make you smile a bit.

Mr. Rogers and the Power of Persuasion Reflection

Image
  This video was very well constructed and edited by the creator and expressed an important point in an effective manner. The combination of different visuals and clips added value to the key points he was expressing as he discussed the effective ways of persuading one's point in a way that states the point without coming off as confrontational. While certain pieces of his claim I've already understood through previous English classes in high school, he breaks down each part of Ethos Pathos and Logos efficiently that provided new insight to me. There were also many new ideas that he provided that I took away --including the clip of someone explaining the idea of a mind being represented by a rider and elephant that make up 1% and 99% of the mind respectively. The rider representing our conscious reasoning and the elephant representing the bulk of our mind, which deals with intuition and emotion. There wasn't a single thing from this video I didn't like. It displ...

Weekly Post: Creating a Summary

      Creating a summary of the documentary for me was a tough task. I can't think of the last time I was assigned to summarize any kind of film, so for me deciding which elements of the plot were significant enough to include in the summary was a difficult task. I watched the film twice --once just to view it for my first time and take mental notes of important takeaways, and the second time was when I had my summary document open and writing things. It took much more time than I thought it would take while watching the film a second time and summarizing bits and pieces of the film. It was a tedious task having to pause and rewind so often so that I can summarize each plot point effectively.     The easiest part of the Documentary Project for me was choosing which film to watch. I went down the list of available films to watch and there were plenty that caught my eye that may intrigue me to watch on my own free time, but when I saw the descriptio...

What Does This Image Mean to Me?

Image
     Immediately upon looking at the image the first thing I notice is the beautiful night sky. It's beautiful & simple, we've seen the night sky every night of our lives but yet we still are taken back each time we look up at night and look into the vast universe. The sky is dark at the top of the image, but blends into the colors of the sunset. To me, the image itself says how there can be beauty even within the darkness. Darkness represents times of tribulation & difficulty & the lighter sky's sunset represents the hope and happiness that may come out of it. It's within the hard patches of life that we learn lessons and grow. We can grow to be the person we're meant to be.
