The war give many examples of violence taking over peoples lives and ruining them. However it is absolutely beautiful how the creators of this movie have put slight ironic and interesting symbols to convey meaning or emotion. For example, sound is something they used through out the movie to give the viewer mostly a sense of sheer terror, raging anger and violence. They used this type of effect on the viewer in the sense when stu challenged the limp nickys to swim across the raging waters of an old water tower. as the water roars there is many explosions all around coming from under the water. The same type of noises coming from a bomb or other weapon. However it is ironic because with the dark wet environment around them, there is still small ruptures of light coming through the ceiling. This could mean that there is still hope. through out the despair there is always hope.

Many senses had similarities to them making them instinctively peculiar. The creators of this movie may have put these kinds of recurring sounds and environments in certain seances to covey specific emotions they are trying to get across. For example, in the sense from Steven's flash back from the vietnam war the environment is dark, wet and there is sounds of gun shots and bombs going off all around him giving the dramatic sense that he could get shot at any point, bringing up anxiety. Also in the sense when Steven is working in the mine, low and behold they are in the same type of environment. Later in that sense rocks fall on Steven and Mo giving the same anxious "he could die at any point" feeling. It is truly amazing how many words a picture can say without saying any thing at all.

There are several lessens in the war about racism, standing up for yourself and others, small acts of kindness and solving problems without using violence. These are some of the most important thing s to remember but it is sad because honestly some people let them slide under the rug and forget these fundamental factors to peoples lives. For example, the limp nickys are poor, and dirty. In return that makes them sad and, angry. On the other hand there is the Simmons family, who are also dirty and poor , however because of their attitude towards life they realize that they still have a lot to be thankful for. "Ones life is in direct proportion to what they perceive it is"

The War is a Memoir based story on many peoples lives at the time, not actual fact However most of the themes and topics form the film are very real. at the time there was so much racism in this country and still is today. Today it just gets slipped under the rug as a joke. So many of these topics go hand and hand like standing up for your self and other and racism. With out racism, people would not know how to stick up for them selves or others, argo the world we live in today. Humans need problems to over come fear just like stu had to overcome the fact that his father was dead. Humans need problems so that we can learn from them and make ourselves and the world better.

Writing it this week so that I don't have to do it next week. 

as we not only finnish up our class college essay reviewing meetings and our memoirs. we begin a new chapter this week. A movie, one that has intrigued me. I have never been a fan of violence and This movie hit it right on the head for me (no pun intended) However while I am watching it I am remembering that the quality of ones life is exactly how that person perceives it to be. For example The father from the movie is leading a good life. He understands that he might not be the most wealthiest person in the world in terms of money, but he is in control of how he deals with that. He does positive things which gives him a sense of what he does have which is a family that loves him. This is the spectacular cycle that makes him care enough to try his hardest to find that job and buy that house. I look up to that man, not just because of what he has been through but his indifference as a human being. 

Interesting this from the week prior

Well as I go about my day. Every day, there are several countless thing that I have to remember to do, think about and worry about. Mostly short term things like what my homework is for that night or what I am having for dinner that night. This class reminds me about my porous. Where I am going. where I want to end up. What kind of person I really am. mixing these thoughts with my every day thoughts is interesting to step back and look at through an outer body perspective, I can't get to know myself on a different level. 

 the 3rd week 

writing collage essays is troubling. finding a collage to go to is troubling as well. It is a stressful time however there are things that I have found to keep me sane. For the past couple of days I remember in class we would read an essay every day at the start of class. It really helps me in the way that I can get to see what a real collage essay looks like and what I should base mine off. I really had no Idea what one was even about so this week as all together was an eye opener to how I can start thinking about collage. 

I was sitting on the top of a mountain with a shortness of breath looking around me in absolute awe. I almost couldn't think because there were so many thinks running through my mind. These huge insane freaks of nature, this is something that should be free. My heart was beating so loud that I could hear it more than the music I was playing. Mostly because of what I was about to do but also because I realized so many things about myself upon that ridge.
 

Memoirs, only 6 words long!






memoir. A very interesting topic that I have discredited for most of my life up until last week. As I have been reading Jay-Z's decoded I have learned many new and incredible thing about that man. One of the intriguing things about memoir to me is that most rant very happy memories. However the writer has made them in to something that even though may not be enjoyable to read, it is more interesting because of the way the writer tells the story. Tragic but incredible that only baffle me more when It crosses my mind that they are 100% true. 

I have only scratched the surface of memoirs yet. However what I have come to understand is that there are many different types of ways to write a memoir. For instance it doesn't even have to be a complete story with 6,000 word, It only has to be 6. in my opinion the less the better because it leaves quite a mystery stand point for the reader but it all depends on the subject. 6 word memoirs are based off memoirs in general but a lot more compact argo the name 6 word memoirs. here are some of mine.

Realist alive, meeting gods and lords.

Wake up, think, go to bed.

Sins of life make a career.

Become bill gates or die trying.

Get trill like the trap lord.

Have fun with life until death.

Life seems clearer in the dark. 

Write with pencil, talk with pen.

Life.

Life.

I feel as though life is a journey that a human can only truly and fully understand when they are ready to die. In my opinion Life should be about adventure, exploration, prosperity, music, and above all, positivity. That is how I live my life. If someone asks me what I would like to be when I am older I can only really guess. There is no for sure knowing, because nothing happens exactly how you plan it out. However when I saw this picture on instagram it hit home. Why? I do not know, but some thing about it says that that man is truly happy and that is all I know for sure. I want to be truly happy.

When I look at this picture I feel as though it could be interpreted as a man feeling down and not seeing any hope however all I see is hope here. I feel as though this man is curious and wants to see what lies behind the darkness. he is exited about the journey the get behind the darkness and not scared of the darkness itself. This is the adventurous part of me, because without adventure, life is dull and boring. adventure is risk and risk is adrenaline and I am quite and adrenaline junky.

I am very passionate about art expressing your self and music. I feel as though these things are essential to living a happier life. This picture is of A$AP Rocky. He is my favorite artist and one of y inspirations. Music is special to me for one very simple reason, it makes me feel good. However when it catches us at the right moment it can change our life. Art is a big part of my life because it is a way to express yourself along with music. Wich is why I put a picture of both because when music and art are combined it is beautiful.
