My Opinion of the Movie "Miss. Representation"

So now I'm going to tell you guys my opinion about the movie "Miss. Representation". I am going to tell you my opinion about the movie in my own kind of thinking. Personally, I think that it was a good idea to make a move about how women and girls are being treated unfairly in the media but my question is "will a lot of different kinds of people want to watch this movie?" "or will it be just women". The movie really made me feel like men have ruled the media and things are not going to change just quickly. You have work on things to be able to change. I still think everything is a start even if little. The actors and actresses in the movie state that everyone has to come together to help stop the media posting unfairly pictures and articles about women and girls to post to the media. I personally think this movie has changed the way I look at models in magazines and women on the the web. They are setting the bar way to high up and making impossible standards for women and girls to follow. I learned in the movie that almost all of the photos you see are edited and photoshopped to make women perfect but in reality women and girls aren't prefect like shown in the media and in magazines.

Here is the like to the home page of the movie "Miss. Representation".

Miss. Representation - Rhetorical Questioning


So in class my partner and I have watch the movie "Miss. Representation" and look rhetorical questions. Rhetorical questioning means a question asked without being answered. The title of the film is "Miss. Representation". My argument is how women and girls are treated unfairly in the media. The devices and examples I seen in the film is for rhetorical question is “ Am I good enough?” lots of women and girls say things like what the female actress says in the movie to real life women and girls. This help's to argue the filmmaker perspective because women and girls are being used and treated unfairly in the media compared to the men and boys.

My express your self challenge


Picture of Panda (was) my cat.



This is a picture I did of my kitty cat, Panda. I choose to draw a picture of my cat for my express your self challenged because he was always there for me and he was my best friend. I didn't quite get to finish my drawing but it's still good. This drawing took me about 4 hours-ish (around) and I did do touching up a little bit to my picture. I really miss him now but I know that he is always looking out for me. I really hope you guys and girls like it and maybe I will draw another picture and post it.
Bye-bye!!!

My Genius Hour Project

slide show

my write up
So for my project for genius hour I choose to make red velvet cupcakes. I did make a very small power point with just some information like the ingredients I got and my sources and a picture. I choose to bake red velvet cupcakes because I have never made this kind of cupcakes before and the red velvet cupcakes always look just so nice and are really nice to eat. Also another reason I choose to make red velvet cupcakes is because I really really love to do art and cooking (or baking whatever you want to call it) and since I’m doing a art project for Beth I thought that I would pick something else I love to do and then I choose to do some baking. At first I was going to make cookies but then realized that I have always wonder how to make red velvet cupcakes look so good and so that is what I choose for my genius hour thing project. I also did some research about cupcakes in general on the internet, then picked the best recipe and make them up. By the way I had so much fun making the red velvet cupcakes and would make then again some time (and were very tasty to eat). Some things that I had and would make differed is that the recipe asked for me to put some like coffee stuff in but I personally do not like coffee tasting cupcakes so didn’t add that from the recipe, another thing that I wish I did better was to add a little bit more food dye to the cupcake mixture because I think that I should have put more food dye in the cupcakes but oh well I guess this is why everybody tries the first time and gets better from there on. So I hope my project thingy was kind of interesting for you guys and by the way the cupcakes were really good to eat.
