Jews Are Lice VS Americans Will Not Be Fooled

     During WWII, Nazis used many propaganda to influence those who supported them. They had propaganda that said Jews and anyone different are bad and Nazis are good. One of these many posters is one called Jews are Lice. This poster was basically telling people that Jews had lice. As surprising as it might be now, back then people used to actually believe this poster. It made them stay away from Jews in order to not get lice. This poster was targeted to practically anyone who could read and knew about lice. This poster is not really effective today because it doesn't say why or how Jews are lice. To me it sounds very bias making it untrue. Even though today it maybe ineffective back it probably was.

     In America, they also used propaganda. An example of that is a poster called Americans Will Not Be Fooled. This poster consists of a list of things that Hitler believed in and big letters saying "Hitler wants us to believe that. . ." The ideas on this list are basically ideas that contradict the American Constitution. I think that this poster can be effective in a way. The things it says are not what America is about, so people might agree with it. It can also not be effective today because many people believe their own ideas and many say the U.S. is corrupt, making this poster not effective. I think that the people targeted are anyone who doesn't really know a lot of information about Hitler and what he was doing. If a person didn't know a lot of information then this person could give them some info that government would like them to know.

     Both of these pieces of propaganda could have been effective back in WWII, but now, not so much. If I had to choose one of them that was more effective it would have to be Jew Are Lice. The reason why is because the poster gives the person information but it isn't clear what the maker wants the reader's outcome to be. Jew Are Lice clearly shows that the maker wants the reader to stay away from Jews. In order for this to happen and person to willingly do it, the maker added false advertising about Jews having lice. 

The Famous Person I Want to Hang Out With

     If you could, would you ever want to hang out with a celebrity for an entire day? You get to choose who that special person was, dead or alive, and what would you do with them? If that were me, then I would have a hard time picking only one person. As you might know, I am a part of many fandoms so many that I have lost count. I am part of t.v. show fandoms, movie fandoms, comic book fandoms, musical fandoms, and artist/band fandoms. So, if I had to pick from all of those, it would be Sebastian Stan.
     Sebastian Stan is an actor, who is mainly known for playing Bucky in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has also been on some tv shows like Gossip Girl, Kings, Once Upon a Time, Political Animals, and more movies and shows. He is from Romania but has lived in the United States since he was 12. He is 34, so he is most definitely alive. That's a little bit about Sebastian Stan and what his Wikipedia page says, but now onto the juicy part.
     The reason I chose this beautiful creature to write about today is because he is my son. Yes, I said my son, you read that correctly. When most normal people like a celebrity, they consider themselves their fans. Other people also consider one or more celebrities their boyfriend, husband, et cetera and vice versa. For me, when a celebrity hits a certain age, that you know you could say is too old for you, I still wish I had a loving relationship so they turn into my children. I also chose him because he is a good actor, funny, invented jaw lines, the cutest thing ever, inspiring, legit 5 year old, a cinnamon roll, there are many reason more that make this post longer than it already is.
     So when my teacher tells me to write this post, you know what happened, I died. I knew that it would be a hard decision because I'm more of a go with the flow kinda person and have too many children, but here is my day with, my son, Sebastian Stan. So starting off the day, we would have breakfast at a restaurant with good food not a fancy or expensive just one that serves delicious food. He can order whatever he wants, I don't really care, and also I would want to pay the check because I invited him. I don't know what I would order to be honest so let's say I ordered some breakfast food, you pick. Once we are done with our meal, I ask for the check. I reach my hand for it and the Sebastian says that he will pay for it because he is a cinnamon roll, I try to fight with him saying that I invited him. In the end we split the check and we are both happy. Just so you know I am basing this off as if it is set in Los Angeles.
     Next on the agenda we would go to a carnival or fair. We would spend around 3 hours there just playing games, walking around, and doing fair stuff. Once we are there for a couple of hours, we start getting hungry so we decide to go to another restaurant for lunch.  During lunch, Sebastian surprises me saying that we are going to a movie premiere. He didn't say which movie, trying to surprise me but I knew which movie was premiering that night. I would most likely be on vacation in Los Angeles so I would that I didn't bring any clothes for that event or I need to go to the mall. We finish our lunch and we go to the mall, we spend here around 2 hours. When we both have purchased our desired pieces of clothing, we decide to relax at the beach. The sun is about to set and we both are indecisive so we sit down for awhile and then starting walking and fooling around.
     It is officially night time, we go back to our house/hotel room and get ready for the premiere. If you want to know my outfit, then I guess I will describe it for you. I am wearing black ripped jeans, a grey shirt, a bomber jacket, and black high tops. We arrive at the place they are holding the premiere and just like I thought, the movie was a new Marvel movie. At most premieres there is like a mini red carpet that celebrities go on and paparazzi take pictures, so at this imaginary premiere there is also one.  I see all the people and big cameras, I start to get nervous because I know I am going to have to walk down that and have my picture taken and also I'm not a celebrity. Since Sebastian knows me so well he quickly realizes my discomfort and tells me that it's just a few pictures and it is going to be okay. The mini red carpet was not so bad, the lights almost blinded me but I thought it was good. We get inside the theater and I go straight to the where the food is, I buy a large popcorn and an ICEE. We get into the room, where you see the movie, take our seats and wait for the movie to start. As I am sitting down I realize who is in front and next to us, the rest of the cast. I completely forgot that Sebastian was in the movie and that he knew the Avengers. I start to soak everything up mentally because I didn't want to take out my phone and take a picture with its bright flash in a semi-dark room, I also didn't want to seem like a crazy obsessed fan. The movie starts, so I start munching my popcorn away.
     The credits start rolling and I know Marvel so I stay seated, as well as the rest of the Avengers and Sebastian. After the movie, I am formally introduced to the other cast member. We talk for awhile but afterwards Sebastian and I decide we are hungry so we go get a late night meal. After our meal, Sebastian drops me off at my hotel, we say our goodbyes, and then he drives away to home. That is what would happen if I were to spend an entire day with Sebastian Stan.

Perserverance

     Everyone at some point in their life has to perserverance at one thing or another. We all have that one thing that we just want to continue trying or get better at. An example of a person like this is a person named Nick Vujicic. Nick doesn't have arms or legs, so you would automatically think that he can't do normal stuff. Actually he does everyday things like we do, he go swimming, fishing, and many more activities. Three traits that Nick has are self-respect, perserverance, and courage. He has self-respect because he respects himself for who he is, and doesn't bring himself down. He doesn't think of himself as less just because he doesn't have arms or legs. He also has perserverance because even though he has a disability, he doesn't stop doing activities that any of us would do. The third trait he has is confidence. Nick has confidence because he knows that he can try new things, he isn't going to let his lack of arms/legs bring him down, and he knows that he can accomplish anything.

      A connection that Nick and I have is that we both have perserverance. We both try new things and have confidence when it comes to new activities or old ones. An example of this is when I first started playing volleyball, I couldn't do anything. My serves didn't make it over the net, I couldn't hit the ball in any shape or form, and I didn't know what the rules are or how we had to rotate. I wanted to try it because I would always see my brother playing the sport. In order to better myself, I started taking volleyball classes and practicing more. I would ask my brother for tips and tricks and would play volleyball any chance I got. In the end, I have been on the all-star volleyball for two years in a row and I think I am a pretty a good volleyball player. For anyone who wants to try something new or get better at something, just keep trying and don't give up.

Budweiser Super Bowl Commercial

     Every year, different companies and corporations use the Super Bowl as a way to advertise their product to a big group of people. Many people watch the Super Bowl every year, so it's perfect for large companies. Some companies use this huge audience as a way to sell more products or to send a message. One commercial of this year's Super Bowl was one by Budweiser. It summarizes the journey of one of the founders of the Budweiser company, Adolphus Busch, into a 60 second video. It shows a young Adolphus immigrating from Germany to St. Louis. When he gets to America, there are people who tell him to go back to where he came from, just like many say to immigrants nowadays.
     You can obviously tell that this commercial has a message because it is about a hot topic, immigrants. I think that the message Budweiser is trying to send to its audience is that not all immigrants are bad and they actually add to our society. Adolphus Busch was one of the founders of a ver big and popular beer company. He came to the United States as an immigrant and created this company that has lived for many years and till this day is relevant to Americans.
     I think that this commercial sent a good message about immigrants. I liked how they didn't just yell, "Immigrants are good for America" and did it in a more subtle but still impactful way. This shows that if it weren't for immigrants, some of the things that we consider 'American' wouldn't exist. Also if it weren't for immigrants, America wouldn't be as diverse as it is and have all of these different cultures. In my opinion when America was nothing, immigrants from other countries came to start a new life and bettered the United States economy. If it weren't for immigrants, the United States would not be the country it is today.

Best Advice I've Received

     Advice is given everyday, it can be the smallest piece of advice to a bigone about life. Advice helps us either make good or bad choices. They help us go through our daily lives knowing a little bit more about what path to choose. I am given phenomenal advice almost every single day by my mother. She tells me things that no one ever told her about how hard life is. She lived a hard life growing up and basically grew up without a mother nor a father. Everything she knows about life, she has learned by herself. The best advice she has ever given me was 'Don't try to run, when you're barely crawling'.
     The meaning of that saying is to not try to something too early. Everything will happen at its own time. I think that generations of today try to do things or act a way that is too old for them, and I'm not saying they are mature. There are kids who are ten, who act and dress like they are sixteen. There will always be time for everything, there is no need to rush it and not enjoy what is happening in the moment. I really like this phrase and I always have it in the back of my head. In the end, my mother has given me many pieces of advice but I think this one is one of the most important ones.
