Vivor Soñar Leer: The radical range of color schemes, discombobulating object scale, unusual item combination, and drastic angling of geometric shapes combine to form a divine harmony in the middle of a flustering discord.
Wicked Lovely:The two metals hit creating a searing screech on every connection. All the movements are taking with grace and dignity appearing like a well choreographed dance. The two fight not like enemies but dance partners. The music and Will and Jacks facial expression add an extreme intensity to the whole scene.
The not so analytical:
"And by me playing that sport it allowed me to gather numerous of friendships that are partially still intact in high school."
"The game is for the artist and the racer in all players. Like modern pieces of art, cars are designed to look cool as they go around corners at fast speeds."

Just Like That...
As Hanna Meets the girls at the park, they go back to her house to catch up and eat. They talk for hours on end as any longtime teen make-up friendship session goes. The girls will graduate soon and grad parties are coming up and as they plan on going to friends parties Hanna is reminded she too will have to be the center of attention, something she isn't so used to.
As family fills the room and friends of her mom's Hanna stays inside and avoids conversation. As the girls get ready to leave for other parties, her mother gets the mail, and nicely invites the mail man in for a drink. As Hanna walks away she can tell something isn't right in her mom's eyes, and for good reason. The note Hanna had sent her long lost grandmother was replied to and now in a nice envelope in her mother's hands. As Hanna reads the note too herself, as her mother had requested, she notices Lydia, her grandmother, never once mentions her mother. At this point Hanna isn't going anywhere to deal with graduation. In the note another thing is mentioned, the fact that Hanna had sent her a picture she had drawn of her mother, Dancing at Fifty.
The book's last chapter is four years later, we find out Hanna had been traveling, Barcelona, Rhode Island, and is now living in Chicago. She has quit art school and is now going to DePaul for theater design. Her mother has moved to Toronto with Charles, now her husband. As Hanna gets off a bus in the middle of a blizzard she walks to her apartment where she lives alone with a cat. She sees an ad for a new gig playing at a local club, the star? Sylvia Callahan, Aerin's alias. She decides to go despite the weather and when she goes she wears Will's old hat. Her and Aerin catch up, they put four years into 20 minutes and Hanna find Aerin too has been traveling. New York and Tuscon and every once in a while does a gig or two at a club. Aerin crashes with Hanna and as they stop by the store for food Aerin makes a call to Will and leaves a voice mail, now 19 years old with a full ride for baseball to USC. When they reach Hanna's apartment Will calls back, Hanna hunkers down and they start talking Aerin falls in love with her cat, she asks what it's name is and as Hanna starts the conversation with Will she replies, "Jailbait."

Facebok Parenting is a post by an average father, dressed like a cowboy and clearly out in the country, this Chuck Norris look alike is a very angry man. There is a simple setting that really underscores the angered disappointment in his style and tone in the way he explains his situation. As he smokes a cigarette the author speaks angrily. He has a wooden chair set up in the middle of a field, something you wouldn't be surprised to see on a beach or relaxing porch; rather it sits lonely in the midst of dead grass and a far off highway with trucks and cars rushing by is the only background sound. The effects of the setting really give you a sense of an unhappy narrator, not to mention the grey and cloudy day really gives the post a foreshadowing effect.
This is an 8 minute video really worth watching, he goes on a rant about Facebook. Not only Facebook but his daughter that has really pushed his buttons. The anger in this man's voice is soon defined when he explains as to why he is making the video. This father's purpose is to embarrass his daughter that has disappointed him to the breaking point. She had not only made a public post on Facebook about how much she hates her daily responsibilities, parents, etc. but she had done it twice. The plot really turns when he explains she had asked him to fix her laptop. He had put timeless hours and $140 in her new software only to find this Facebook post. The stupidity of his daughter is emphasized when we learn her father is an IT guy, computers are his life. Her immaturity is brought out when he reads off some of the complaints, like doing her laundry, making her bed, and sweeping the floors. This father is outraged by his daughters behavior and the humiliation she has brought him. When she did it the first time she was grounded, this punishment would be different. This time her father's extreme side was shown as he took out his 45 pistol and shot her laptop seven times, the end is short with a simple "Have a good day Y'all" from the father, an unexpected joyful end to such an angry post.

This is a YouTube post my mom showed me...
A video recently uploaded to YouTube really shows the affect of Facebook and parenting. Not only did this girl dis on her parents on Facebook but she will learn to regret that decision. As an IT guy, this dad found a post on Facebook while fixing his daughters laptop, not only was she being incredibly disrespectful but she had done it before. This father describes his intense disappointment and acknowledges all of his daughters complaints including her chores, homework, and all the hard work she does. He has one solution for this problem, he will not only take away her Facebook, phone, and laptop but he grounds her, makes her pay for the new software he put on her computer, and shoots the laptop 7 times with his 45...good punishment if you ask me, she will probably learn to quit taking things for granted!

In this collection of photos, Will Adler, creates a connection to the most unconnected objects. You wouldn't think anything could be similar between a donkey and a child but in the photographs presented in his collection, even the most unruly eye can see it. The way he makes the connection is not through color or what is in the picture but instead its presence and shape. Will Adler uses 11 photos and two by two the last one seems to connect to the first one is some sort of way and with their being an odd number of photos it seems to be a never ending circle of pictures, the most recent being related to the last some how. The pictures are simple yet so much is shown with in them.

In this collection of photos the clean and crisp pictures show a difference in similarity. As in the picture above there is an active look to the ice cream, a not so healthy food. The picture with the apple, however, has a sloppy slob look to a seemingly healthy food. Polar opposites to what the picture shows and what the picture is showing with the action of the person.

Submission #3: Middle School
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/449/middle-school
The fearful lives of students and teachers within the walls of a middle school is anything but false. These are rough times and it seems there is a similar reaction across America to how horrible it really is.
"Life isn’t fair", something we are always told when we were are young, is something middle school really sums it up for us all. The podcast, Middle School, highlights the rough times, rumors, and life itself inside the walls of a middle school. Going to middle school from elementary school can be hard, awkward stages, cliques, and the fear of not fitting is a constant worry of most kids. Something as simple as a school dance seems to bring nothing but fear and stress. When you're at the bottom as a sixth grader, things are even worse. Most sixth graders are still young and do not want to dance with the opposite sex. When you reach seventh and eighth grade things change, not only the rules but the way you dance and "friends" aren't being as friendly. The students all willingly go for fear of missing out, getting there there is a constant worry of how to dance and who to dance with and stressing about if you will get made fun of or not. Middle School really shows how an enjoyable event can really go bad.
In this podcast the students aren't the only unhappy prisoners of middle school. The experience, however, of both teachers and students is unusually similar. Teachers never felt fulfilled in the lessons they taught and students live in constant fear of their fellow peers and “friends”. It seemed the Middle School podcast really summed middle school up for everybody; it was not fun and was not fair. Teachers wasted their time teaching something they didn't feel ever sunk in and students are constantly fighting to fit into the rest of the kids. High school, however, is the light at the end of the tunnel, it seems everybody "chills out" and doesn't seem to worry about what everybody else is wearing, what they look like, or where they live; we all just get along.

Just Like That...
We are getting into the final moments of the book and I feel it is really starting to slow down...After Hanna had dropped off Aerin at her grandmother's house, her ride home was rough. She had kissed Will good-bye and went home with regret and a feeling of disappointment in herself due to the fact that she put Aerin in such a situation. Just as she was passing the lake she noticed a large group of people crowded by news reporters and firemen. She knew she couldn't handle the information from the lake so she kept driving. When she got home the house was empty and she was held up only by her own thoughts, she took three minutes to think things over and made her way down to the lake to find out what was going on.
As she approached the lake the crowd had grown larger and the tow truck was backed up to the water, finally the ATV was being pulled from the water from that fateful night in which two teens had perished at the unshared knowledge of Hanna. As she cried on the bench, most brushed it off as and emotional teen but as the news reporter approached Hanna panicked. She knew the reporter saw a story behind her hurt eyes not just a sad girl. Hanna had to react quickly and she did the only thing she could think of. She pulled out her phone and made a call. The reporter could see she was distracted and Hanna hoped she wouldn't ask her any questions, it worked. As the reporter grew impatient, she walked away and Hanna was in the clear but the call she had made went out to her ex- best friend Kelsey. No sooner then the call was ended Kelsey and Maura showed up to the park to meet Hanna.
Just as the girls showed up the tow truck pulled away and the crowd thinned out significantly. Hanna had noticed a small group of people still talking and knew who they must have been, the parents. They were smiling and laughing and Hanna had seen the closure in their pain. She walked up to the couple and had introduced herself. The mother didn't recognize her and Hanna said she was a friend of a friend. She told the parents she was the last to see them on the lake that night and she told her they were nothing but happy and with a smile on her face the mother of the dead teen smiled and thanked Hanna...

Just Like That...
A connection to family is something everybody cherishes but when it is broken and unknown answers is all we want. In this case Will's family is still wondering about the mother that walked out on his dad, the famed congressmen, is she alive? Does she want to reconnect?
Although Beth had told Hanna he grandmother was dead and there was no use looking Hanna couldn't help herself. She walked the 17A area a couple times a week looking for that mysterious woman she had seen so many times at Mark's congregational meetings. It came as a shock one day when she had finally found her. Hanna had just stopped in the Zip's Kwik Trip for Altoids and a lottery ticket when she saw her. She fallowed the women and her friend back into the store. She had thought of what to say so she approached cautiously. As she stumbled for words she told the women she was an art student and was drawing portraits of people at different stages of life. They had quickly recognized her. They had seen her at the meetings before and they didn't buy it when she told them she volunteered to serve food there. She had offered the women $10 an hour so she could draw them and they agreed and they went to the coffee shop.
As Hanna set up the scene she sat adjacent to the women and after two hours their picture done in crayola crayon was finished. Nan wasn't impressed and said she had somewhere to be and Hanna payed her, the other lady however was astonished at Hanna's talent and as Hanna drove her home she offered a copy and said she would bring it by later. A week later Hanna had redone the crayola portrait in pastels, put the two pictures in a frame for the women, and delivered them to Sue's house. Although Nan acted as if she wasn't impressed, Sue said she would be. Nan was gone at the time but they went and put the picture up in her apartment anyway. As they did so Hanna noticed a picture on the table next to Nan's chair, it was Mark.
Hanna e-mailed Will that day and after two days of suspension he finally replied. She went to his house and Aerin answered the door. Both his parents were out of town and she was "babysitting" As Will and Hanna were about to leave Aerin decided to tag along. They watched as Nana walked into her apartment and they fallowed suit. As Aerin knocked on the door Nan was expecting them. She had heard about Hanna's findings and had news to tell. Jill, their grandmother was a good friend of Nan's, a good friend considering Jill was batting for both teams, if you know what I mean. Jill and her were in love but just like Jill ran out on Mark she too had ran out on Nan. It wasn't until 5 years ago she had found out she was dead. As a bartender Jill had to defend herself one night and was put into Tennessee lockup. Two weeks in her apendix burst, she didn't die though the jail gave her a bad blood transfussion and she was left with Hepititus, slowly it killed her liver.
Nan had heard about Aerins car accident and how she had killed her three band mates, she brought it up and irritated Will called Nan a bitch, but not before they could see something they never have before, a picture of their father as a kid. Aerin was hurt and Hanna drove them both back to their grandparents house. Aerin planned on going to stay with some family friends and Will feared she might not return one day...

In Massimo Vitali's photo, The Beach Scene, he is able to capture the cluttered cheerfulness of the everyday, common day at the beach. Massimo Vitali is a celebrated Italian photographer a.k.a "Master of the beach scene". His ability to capture scenes on beaches all over Italy is truly amazing. The way he is capable of capturing something so simple and put so much meaning behind it is an ineffable talent. His pictures show the common goal of everyone on the beach, to have fun, while also showing a sense of individuality and synchronization on the certain beach activities. Some are soaking up the rays while some are in the water but the cluttered individuality all makes sense in his pictures. The kids frolic in the shallows as most kids do, while parents watch or read under the sanctity of the beach umbrella. The gifted portrayal of Vitali’s picture taking ability suggests loneliness and wanting to belong, he wants just as bad to be down there on the beach and in the water with the rest of the people.

Most Homestead kids grew up in the 90's, I myself was born in 1994 and there's just something different about how kids grow-up now as to how kids grew-up then. From the cartoons and the clothes to the stupid things we said, it was a different era and things aren't exactly changing for the better. @The90'sLife is a fellow Tweeter and if you happen to fallow him you'll see they are bringing it all back. The tweets aren't deep in thought or incredibly artistic but the simplicity of the tweets and comedy of the pictures is enough to remind anybody who grew-up in the 90's of their childhood. It's something only our generation could understand and they are simply bringing it all back, simpler times, and giving us a reminder of what most are all about to leave and how we are about enter the real world.

"I've come to the conclusion that if I had to pick one website, I would pick The Burning House. By the title, I'm sure you could guess what the website is about.These people submit a picture of the items they would carry with them, along with a list, their name, and where they're from. Most of these people claim that they would take their cameras, phones, some old vintage clothes or sunglasses, or their laptops. Personally, if I posted on this website, my dog, phone, and blanket and probably a few good books would be in the picture. When someone asks another person what they would bring, the normal answer is "my phone, computer, camera, clothes, etc." But if you put some thought into this, your answer may be different. I'd bring what is most important to me, like I said earlier, my dog. He'd be the first thing I'd try to save(:"
In this post the person gives great thought about the topic they have chosen. The analytical side of this post, however is not the best. This person wrote about their ideas and what they thought the average person would bring with them in the case that their house was burning down. To better analyze this topic the author should have put more inferences and descriptions as to why people bring what they do in the case of a fire filled house. Maybe even describe the feelings of a person in that situation. They have a great main idea just not enough description or inferences.

As a large snow storm approaches in early March many people of Minnesota aren't worried but when the snow really starts to pile up it becomes a problem. Hanna works in the swim wear section at the mall and as kids and moms become cooped up more and more people flood into the store. Not only is she running ramped for new sizes because of all the over feasting for the holidays but she runs into Beth, Will's sister. She also saw Will there trying on a tie for another one of his Dad's meetings, they ask Hanna’s opinion, very awkward situation! As she suggested a blue tie, they invited her to his dad’s meeting and she politely agreed. Her and Will would serve the dinner to guests there to watch.
When they got to the meeting hall Will had asked Hanna to look for the lady she had previously see at Marks other meeting, she declined but when she was serving food and got a glimpse of the lady leaving she couldn’t help herself, she ran after her. They made small talk but nothing too great, nothing to confirm her identity. As Beth shows up she scolds Hanna and Will for believing their “dead” grandmother is alive.
When she heads back home she wakes up on the fallowing Sunday, Charles, her mom’s boyfriend, is there, it is supposed to be their day but considering the snow he spent the night. As she eats her breakfast she looks outside to see Will shoveling their walk.
Later in the afternoon as she is on her work break she texts an old friend, Cate, to hang out. Bad news, they are all hanging out at Maura’s house tonight. She and Cate eventually meet up at the coffee shop anyway and as she approaches she sees Maura and Kelsey waiting with Cate, ambushed. She turns around and goes home but she can see their car in her drive way so to waste time she goes to the lake, thinking about the teens who died she walks out onto the ice and all she can think about is how cold and scared they were…

When she heads back home she wakes up on the fallowing Sunday, Charles, her mom’s boyfriend, is there, it is supposed to be their day but considering the snow he spent the night. As she eats her breakfast she looks outside to see Will shoveling their walk.
Later in the afternoon as she is on her work break she texts an old friend, Cate, to hang out. Bad news, they are all hanging out at Maura’s house tonight. She and Cate eventually meet up at the coffee shop anyway and as she approaches she sees Maura and Kelsey waiting with Cate, ambushed. She turns around and goes home but she can see their car in her drive way so to waste time she goes to the lake, thinking about the teens who died she walks out onto the ice and all she can think about is how cold and scared they were…
Hello World
In the chaotic organization of Christopher Baker’s Hello World, the listeners can really connect with the world of YouTube. There is a captivating sense of similarity in a collection of individuals simply speaking out. YouTube is a website full of talent, flops, and feelings. Billions of people have posted videos to YouTube just to get their voice heard. In Christopher Baker's, Hello World; he shares all the YouTube videos where people share their feelings and express their thoughts, most have a lot to say. He combines all the small videos onto one picture and plays them all at the same time. As they play all at once a blur of voices enters the ear. You can't tell who is saying what and by listening to their voices and the expression of their words, little by little it becomes a sort of frenzied music.
By posting to YouTube, your posts are succumbed to the review of others. People will judge and dislike what you say, but not with Hello World. The thought of judging somebody for their words doesn't once come to mind. By not being able to see the person that is speaking, most can't judge on their appearance and connect it to what they are saying. Nobody can reject a person’s thought because of what they look like or where they are. By mixing it all up in a concoction of video, all you can do is listen; a goal most posters are just trying to achieve.
