Nazi propaganda

      I chose to analyze a piece of nazi propaganda that depicts a skeleton on top of the world and is engulfed in fire, on the globe, there is a star of David and inside of that star is the communist symbol. On this piece of propaganda, it says, "Bolshevism without mask" by Bolshevism I believe it means Jewish Bolshevism because it is an anti-semitic and anti-communist canard which alleges that the were at the origin of the Russian Revolution and held the primary power among Bolsheviks. This poster tries to describe Jewish Bolshevism as an evil soulless skeleton that burns the world as a kind of fire from hell, this is to make people believe that Jewish Bolshevism is evil and to make people who are jewish feel vulnerable.

If I could spend a day with a famous person

      If I could spend a day with anyone famous person it would have to be with Srinivasa Ramanujan. If you are interested in numbers and mathematics and know who Srinivasa Ramanujan is then you probably know the number 1729 and what it refers to, but for those who don't know who Srinivasa Ramanujan is let me give you a little bit of background knowledge on who this man is. Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician and autodidact, so he had no teacher and he had no training in pure mathematics. Ramanujan would always develop his mathematical research when he was alone, soon it became obvious that he had skills in mathematics and he began a partnership with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy. Ramanujan was truly a genius and now has the nickname "The Man Who Knew Infinity" The work he did was truly innovative at the time that nearly all of his work back then have now been proven correct. The meaning behind of 1729 is pretty interesting, G. H. Hardy said, "I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi cab number 1729 and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavorable omen. "No", he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways."The two different ways are 1729 =13 + 123 = 93 + 103. I would want to spend a day with Srinivasa Ramanujan and ask if he could teach me or at least give me the smallest bit of understanding of how he has discovered so many different mathematical equations.

my kind of happiness

My kind of happiness comes when:

I feel the cold side of the pillow in the middle of the night

I wake up a few seconds before the alarm clock

seeing the sun's warm rise that fills you up in the morning

You're watching TV and your favorite show comes on 

you find something in common with someone new

you have no homework and the day is free

walking in the gentle rain feeling the droplets on your face 

feeling the wind while riding your bike 

spending time with friends and family 

you open a can of coke and hear the crisp pop sound 

taking a refreshing shower in the morning 

you see the thousands of stars in the beautiful night sky 

you go to sleep when it's pouring outside 

you're watching a burning flame that gives off light

your phone doesn't die at 24%

Perseverance

There was a video that I saw in class, it was about a man named Nick, he had no limbs but he gave a speech to children about preserving. I saw that he had integrity cause he was honest and had strong moral principles. He had self confidence and believed that he could still do things with no limbs. He is also very humble and doesn't say anything about not having limb, he said that he never says oh I wish I had arms or oh I wish I had legs. Even I have never had the physical limitations that Nick had I  always thought that I wasn't a fast runner but now that I stated running am I'm more fit I feel good about my self and even now, my friends tell me that I'm pretty fast.

Budweiser Super Bowl commercial 2017

      Budweiser has made an ad for the Super Bowl. The story of an immigrant, Budweiser claims that it's about the American dream. It's about the real-life story of company co-founder Adolphus Busch who journeyed from his native Germany to America in 1857 to brew beer. The ad emphasizes and dramatizes Busch's journey as he makes his way to St. Louis where he meets his eventual business partner Eberhard Anheuser. On his way to St. Louis, he is hated upon being told that he is not wanted and is told to go back home.
      Once Busch gets to St. Louis, he is treated to a beer by Anheuser which is the only act of kindness he has received in this powerful 60-second commercial. Busch then graciously thanked Anheuser and then they exchange names and the rest is history. Since this is the story of an immigrant some believe that it is political but Budweiser says otherwise. Anheuser-Busch (the manufacturer of Budweiser) says, "We believe beer should be bipartisan, and did not set out to create a piece of political commentary; however we recognize that you can't reference the American Dream today without being part of the conversation."
