I enlisted the cooperation of my friends for this experiment, asking them to do their best to stay unbiased and neutral. My vocal summary helped me realize that I was on the correct track so far in trying to meet the paper’s question. When I read my document aloud, I spotted language errors and when things don’t make sense. I could also notice any continuous sentences and be able to avoid them in my paper. My friends believes I might reinforce my thesis by including additional examples of music or other forms of media. That was something I intended to accomplish.

Cole is always known for acknowledging social and political music through his work and music, which makes his music so likable and relatable by a huge audience. At the end of the year  his fourth studio album “4 Your Eyez Only” was released on December 9, 2016 during the cold winter, and it wasn’t quite what fans were expecting at first. The album took another approach on J. Cole’s perspective that was never seen before, it gave a gloomy and cynical vibe that was unlike the artist. The album explores a variety of topics concerning the African American community including mass incarceration, racial discrimination, gang violence and depression. The album also touches on other topics such as love and fatherhood.

 J. Cole took this album to really sit us down and touch upon neglected issues in our society today.

 

For my assignment I am planning to remix the research project that I worked in English class. Euphoria was the the topic I was writing about in my research project. I am arguing how Euphoria isn’t doing any harm to young teenagers who watch the show every Sunday night. I am going to make a powerpoint on visualizing images of euphoria  main topics that are talked throughout the show and how it’s not doing any harm by young teenagers viewing the show. My audience would be everyone who thinks Euphoria gives a bad reputation to young teenagers just cause it shows reality scenarios that actually happen in real life. I guess they are trying to hide the scary fact of life in general if that makes sense. Also, I would be explaining each main character their background story and why they act like how they are because there’s specific reasons. I feel like this point of view I am trying to convey to my audience is television can be fun to watch or to learn about important lessons that people learned through their adolescent lives. I am trying to gain more information but easily to understand  through the picture I would be uploading in my powerpoint and my audience would know right away what I would like to argue. A lost is images wouldn’t be able to comprehend easily and my audience would have trouble where I am coming from. A biggest challenge is finding enough information on what I am arguing for. My personal motivations for tackling this specific project are having enough details and easy to understand.

I took this picture a couple weeks ago, so I decided to use it for this assignment. This was taken out of a concert I went to, and I decided to use it because it stood out to me compared to all my other photos. I edited it in order to make the colors pop out more. There were dozens of lights all in different colors, and I knew that if I were to tweak some settings, I could make the colors appear much brighter than they originally were. I also added a little bit of a blur effect, the picture was already blurry but I wanted to emphasize the blur more to give it a moving effect. The message of this scene is supposed to give off a party vibe, and just overall enjoyment and a good time. As you can see, multiple people are smiling and just enjoying life at the moment.

Upon completing my sentence analysis, I realized a few things about the way my writing style is. I was surprised to see that I tend to repeat a lot of words, such as “that” or “within” Seeing this from an outside perspective, makes me take it into consideration and be sure to look for synonyms, or just different words entirely that can be replaced. Essentially, just increase my overall vocabulary enough to where I don’t have to repeat the same words in a sentence and make my overall point sound redundant. Another thing I noticed was that I had a few run-on sentences that were ruining the overall point I was trying to make. Instead of letting these sentences run on, and putting too much information in one sentence, it would make more sense to split them apart in different sentences. My paragraphs become much more organized like this, easier to read and understand which will overall emphasize the point I try to make in my piece. Sentence style correlates to other edits I plan to make because I have to keep in mind the way I write if I am going to change anything in my piece. If I change one thing, that will cause other things to change as well. When other things change, it’ll seem as if my text is jumping all over the place. If I don’t keep that in mind, my work will end up unorganized and it will actually be an incoherent piece to read.

Goofy who is a Disney character represents him being happy and always trying to goof around with his friends. I feel like thats what I do when I am around with my friends or when I like making funny memories. Those are the best ones especially when you can’t stop laughing with one another. Even in not in my good days I try to make myself smile or I try to make other people if they feel down. I like bringing laughter and fun. Bringing joy and happiness makes me feel better as an individual. When there’s a situation that I tend to overthink a lot I try to make the best out of the situation and set myself goals where I can lead myself to do better. I don’t try to put myself down and make me feel worse of what I already feel because I know its not gonna change anything so might as well make an action of a change. And that’s part of my goofy side because I bring myself happy thoughts and try to make myself better because thats the only person you got, yourself. Goofing around friends to cheer each other up its the best and being there for each other when one is going through a hard time they need someone with happy energy to make the laugh. Having a great energy around people its good because you make friends and you are easily able to socialize which for me it is because I like to joke around.
