Journal 17

I think this is a great movie. I saw a lot of things that I have never seen before. Although this movie doesnt have any dialogues, indeed this is a good movie. This movie can capture any aspects of human being and this world beautifully.
What I like the most from this movie is when this movie shows about the poverty in India. When many people try to find a food from garbage. It moves my heart. Suddenly I feel I am very lucky person, I could enjoy the facilities I have now. I have a warm home, enough food, good education, families adn friends. I have a great life compares to those people. This scene also reminds me about the true story I heard before. There was a gut who traveled to India. Before he traveled to India, he felt that his life is misfortune, he had many difficulties in his job and his marriage then he decided to to travel to India. When he arrived in India he saw many people lives in poverty, but the saddest part is when he saw one mother cutted a right hand of her own child. She cutted it so people who see it can feel sorry for the child and give her money. So the main reason why she cuts her child hand is to get money. It is really sad.. but this is a reality that happens around us. People can do anything to get money

Dear Mom

Hai Mom how have you been?? I believe you are doing ok now..
Actually I have an important thing to tell you with this letter.. Guess what I got an American boyfriend..
I know you will suprise with this news but you are not angry with me right? I know you dislike American boy because you have a bad stereotype to them like playboy, but I can guarantee to you that my boyfriend is totally different from what you think about. He is very honest and he can accept me just the way I am. I admit we have a different culture and sometimes we can misunderstand each other but after we talk we can clear all the misunderstandings. Moreover, from this relationship I can improve my English and he help me a lot with all my homeworks. The most important thing I love him.. I think you want me to be happy right? and I am happy with him.
Hopefully you can meet him someday and see how nice he is

Love you mom,
Sylvina

summarize an article

Memoli, M. A. (2011, April 27). White House releases long-form Obama birth certificate. In Politics
            now. Retrieved April 27, 2011, from http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-obama-birth-              certificate-20110427,0,2615804.story.

White House has released President Obama's birth certificate. They did this because President Obama's citizenship has been doubted since he becomes the president of the USA. Administration officials said that this matter becomes a distraction that can be harmful for country (par4). Based in this article President Obama asked personally to Hawaii Department of Health to send his birth certificate (par6). Basically releasing the birth certificate is a privacy but they did this to respond a huge requests about Obama's status.

Music : Our favorite therapy

Felton, N. (2011, April 19). Music: our favorite therapy. Dailytitan, 89(39), p. 4.

In this article Felton says that music can improve our health. According to Vera Brandes, music can make body and mind relax and then can lower the heart rate (par 10). Felton also claims that music whatever the genres are, can make people become happy and happiness is good for the body. In this article she uses reason appealing because she gave us some reports about how music can improves health.

However, there are some arguments from her that makes me think. She calims that music whatever the genres are, could make us relax. I do not agree with this statement because for me rock music can gives me headache instead of peace. I think is not always true to say that music can always makes us relax.
In the paragraph 23 she also mentions that "A life without music is like a life without soul and passion." (par23). I also do not agree with this statement, there are so many people that do not like music but they still have passion and soul.
I think this article doesnt have a strong argument how music can be a good therapy for health, because she just mentions one reason, music can lower a heart rate.

My topic on research paper this time is about humorous advertisement. Basically I very like about television and advertisement things. Therefore for my reseacrh paper I choose about humorous advertisement. In this reseacrh I will try to find out how humorous advertisement could be more effective than serious does. Why many companies more like to use humor for their advertisement. I know little bit about this matter before.
