From the talks that you heard today what were some things that struck you about the internships?
That there's a large variety of them and I don't need to know what to look for, I just need to look around and to maybe leave my comfort zone. Explore other opportunities that are given.
Given the talks, what are you looking for in an internship?
To look around and explore the different options or to look in the field I want to work in. For me, I would like to Intern possibly at the Apple store in fashion valley "For my expanded knowledge of Mac computers" Or NBC studios. Or maybe my 4th grade classroom.
Which talk did you feel painted a picture of a key moment in their internship, and why
The very first one about SweetCheeks bakery because I made me feel like I was actually there. She filled it with so much detail and and expressed her emotions so well and how she was feeling at that time. She also memorized the whole thing and really connected to the audience. She did a spectacular job on it.

Suheir Hammad & Marjane Satrapi on War
Assignment: Listen to Suheir Hammad's Ted Talk again and write down key lines that struck you (these are quotes from her poetry) and why. Also, write about the connection between Suheir's ideas and Marjane's in Persepolis. Lastly write about what struck you about Persepolis and Suheir's poetry.
"Love will never find me"
"Woman being disregarded and mistreated"
"Leaving behind clusterbombs and dyfective landmines"
All these lines struck me because they all tie in to Marjane's life and how she lived daily. In Austria, in Vienna, and in Tehran. These are important facts because this was an average day in the life and this is what she dealt with. Loving someone, not loving someone, having someone that loves you, and someone and could care less about you. Being stopped by the Revolution Guardians, watching bombs drop on their home town. She had the same idea as Suheir. Yet she pushed on and lived through every day, with unfair rules.
What struck me about the poem and Persepolis is that they wanted equality. For example, in the beginning of the book, Marjane wanted to be a prophet and change everything so that life will be equal for everyone. In the poem, she talked about how everyone was being bombed and unequal and how this shouldn't be the way of life. All and all, they both shared the same thoughts and ideas and how things should be changed and what society is and how bad it really is from another person's point of view.
Part 2
How I think Suheir Hammad described revolution and revolutions and war is, well, hell. She describes discrimination as harsh and cruel, everyone looks at them like they're all terrorists and people don't take a second look, don't know them, that they're indifferent and they're all just normal people like you and me. In war, like I stated in part one, there are bombs in every street just waiting to go off. There are riots and innocent people are getting hurt everyday where they both come from.
Marjane Satrapi has the same concept. When she was once asked where she came from, she claimed she was from France, Paris, to avoid discrimination from where she was from. When a bomb hit the Babalevi's house in the book/movie, she was scared and scarred from this event and was afraid from then onward. The revolution that she went through was long and horrible. but in the beginning, no one was happy. In the end, no one was happy. she went through a long and horrible event but pushed on through anyways.
They both went through false criticisms and labeling, war and death. but in the end, they are still just like us. we have bad days, where our boy/girlfriend breaks up with us and you had to walk home in the rain, fashion disasters, and wondering what we're gonna wear tomorrow. But these type's of people wonder if they're gonna live to the next day and their bad days are bombs falling and killing their friends. Think about these people if you ever have a "bad day".

Islam
Topic: The mans' role
The mans' role in society is to do all the more important things. Driving, Government, and taking care of himself. Based on their older culture, the mans' priorities were
1) His dog
2) His horse
3) His cow
4) His pig
5) Woman and children
As you can see, based on their past history, The woman were left to the child bearing. The reason woman were put at the bottom of their list is because they're replaceable. The men were left with all the heavy-duty work and the woman were left raising the children and all the "womanly" tasks. It's all because of what their society agrees on and considered "acceptable" in their society

Asia current events
The Asian country I have is Qatar. I did some research on Qatar and found that it's about as big as Rhode Island and everyone drives big fancy cars and live in big fancy houses. As for news, I couldn't find a whole lot. They managed to host the 2022 Soccer world cup, and they have a very short history. It became an independent sovereign state in 1971, and served as one of the main launching sites of the United States invasion of Iraq in 2003. That's 40 years of fresh history for this small and quiet country of Asia.

Street art
1) What are qualities that you noticed in the documentary that you can transfer into your own work?
2) What amazed you about the artists work?
3) How did the artists use their craft to convey a message?
1) Well, I noticed they all went the extra mile and at least tried to improve their work and made it bigger and made it better each time. How I can transfer this to my work is to think outside the box and think of something else that hasn't been done yet and wow everyone with it. Say for example, if I were to use actual batteries in my art piece instead of just making a photoshop image. Their work is incredible, and hopefully mine will be the same.
2) The detail and their style of art. It's different and unique from other artists. Take Space Invader for example, he made tile art and glued them to walls. It's much different than Bansky's form of art, where he makes a stencil and spray-paints the design on the wall. Each of these are different and mean different things. It's incredible the work they do.
3) Each one conveys a message. Mr. Brainwash for example, his message is that society brainwashes everyone into believing what everyone else believes. Bansky painted an elephant the same pattern as a wall paper to convey the message that sometimes we have so much stuff (lies?) that there's an invisible elephant in the room. Sometimes it's simple messages that are easy to decipher and figure out what the artist is really trying to say.
