"SPEAK" Book/Movie

I really like the book because the author explained well the life of a teenager and her problems at school at school, her personal problems and at home. Melinda is an inteligent girl, but after the party she feld depressed because she didn't have any friends and everyone at school that were in the party hates her, including Rachelle her ex-best friend. I think that the author made the right decission of making the movie as similar as the book because he put the right events that happened in the book. Maybe he explained more and made it more obious in the movie so the audience could understand more what happened. The authors need to explain more in the movie because in the book the readers are more intelligent and capting each event that happens i the book. I think that because when the reader is reading the book reads on its particular and different way as the others, for example, if he doesn't understand what happened in the book, he/she could go back and know what happened. On the other hand, in the movie, all the people that watch the movie see it at the same time, but if someone doesn't get something, he can't go back becaause the other people that are also watching it and they wouldn't like that. The part that I mostly like in the movie, was when the other girls at Melinda's school defended her from Andy Evans and that now she has the necessary confidence to tell her mom what happened at the party when she used to don't even talk with her.

Reflection about technology

I think that the school does teaches us about technology. Just like of using computers. Also, appropriate ways to use them. Like using Moodle, Google docs, blogger and much more things. These are some web sides of using technology. One way, is on checking Moodle everyday. In Moodle, we can check our homework. These are some ways that we use technology in school.
I think that our school also don't teaches some things. It doesn't teaches that well to make an animation in photoshop. Just like making someone moving. Just like a type of video on photoshop. I think that will be a cool thing to do. It could be also very creative. I will like to do that. That are some things they haven't teach us.
Another thing that they haven't teaching us to make a stop motion. We are going to do one, but we haven't. In the stop motion we have to do a video. Like an object transforming to another thing. In that, we have to make a lot of photos. Is very difficult to make explain how does it change. Also, you can do it of plastiline or chalk. These are another things we haven't learn that much.

Stop Motion

The stop motion I have selected is to first put a skeleton head with it's bones, then converted into a drum with sticks. I selected it because I though that it was very creative. I didn't though of other stop motion. I just though about the one a will make. It was the first one that came into my mind. The most challenging thing of this stop motion is putting it into plastiline. It will be very difficult. These are some ideas from my stop motion.

Watercolor tree

Interpretation of the watercolor

Yesterday in class we were supposed to paint a tree that has been hit by a lightning. I think that the idea we have to paint was very creative because I never had paint anything in English class. What I paint was a tree with fire. The tree had also some leaves but they were also in fire because of the lightning. The tree had a whole in the middle with also fire on it. The whole in the middle with fire, also was burn. The tree was falling down with the mud. First, the three was in the ground, but because of the lightning, the land were the tree was converted into mud, so that is why the tree was falling into the mud. I didn’t put anything in the background, I just put another three from far away from the main tree I was painting, the tree that was far away had fire all around it, also was falling down into the mud.
I did this painting because for me when a lightning falls into a tree, is a very sad moment for the trees. I think is sad because a lightning falls in a tree, the tree will died and will be covered with fire. So when the lightnings fall, is a like possible danger for the trees because they can be killed because of that. You can compare that situation with the trees to the humans, just like when a tornado or hurricane occurs, the humans could died or loose everything, like their houses or furniture. The humans can’t do anything when a hurricane occurs, specially if it occurs where they live or near it. That happens to the trees because they can’t move because they are attached to the ground. Finally, I created this painting to represent what happens to the trees when a lightning falls to compared it when like when hurricanes or tornado happend when humans are.
I really like my painting because I though it was very realistic. I think that I’m very good at painting and at drawing, that is why I think I make a good job. Everyone did the tree with lightning because is related to the book called “Speak” we are reading in English class. Melinda that is the main character from the story were are reading, is making a tree with a lightning on it in her art class. I think that Melinda is a very common girl that is new in high-school that doesn’t have friends yet and that is very scared of everything, like of being good at school, having a good grade, having friends and joining a clique.
