Whale Rider #4

Image
      In my humanites class I recently watched a movie called Whale Rider . It was a story of the Maori people in New Zealand and the anceint traditions and customs that they still practice today. In their small tribe they were ready for new leader and when the child selected to become the next chief dies after birth his twin sister, Pai survived. Though only males are allowed to become chiefs. Throughout the movie Pai tries to break the customs while trying to win over her very traditional grandfather. Throughout the movie we see Koro, Pai's grandfather very determined to find the next chief. He opens up the Marae, a traditonal meeting place where they teach the children about their culture. He does this to try and find the next chief. Pai wants to partake in this but Koro makes it very clear that only males are allowed to learn about being a chief and combat.He puts them through different tests but he is still not convinced there is a leader in this bunch. As he is...

 https://youtu.be/dHXL8A1dowo This ad shows having pets, more specifically a cat can cause you some serious problems at home.Though youR cat may not mean to do you any harm an animal is an animal and things can sometimes get messy. Thats why this ad is advising you to get some home insurance from All State to save money and keep your home safe. The lifestyle this ad is trying to promote is a affordable one. We see this when Dean Winters says "...And if you got the wrong home insurance coverage, you can be cooughing up the cash for this."

What is Sudoku? #6

Image
Sudoku is a logiclly based puzzle game that you place the numbers one through nine in nine by nine square so that one same number is not in the same box, column, and row.For example, in the picture to the right we see the numbers five, three, one, and nine already in a box, meaning that in that box it can no longer hold those numbers.I used to play sudoku more as kid because I liked the challenge and it made me think. You can buy a book solely with a bunch of sudoku puzzles ranging in difficulty or you can now download an app The difficulty of each game can change depending on the amount of numbers and the positions of where the numbers are placed when you first start.For beginners I would reccommend you start in a four by four square to start off and get the basics of the puzzle down first.The puzzle four by four below is good example of how a four by four can be solved. Can you guess what the bottom right corner number would be? If you guessed two you'd be correct.  As you start ...

Cold Breath

Image
  I have something with me, its packaged, sealed and ready to be consumed. This small edible item is in a tin container with its logo and is known to have refreshing qualities whenever you eat one.you don't just get one though, you get 75! The tin container has a soothing metallic feel, while the chilling pill is about the size of my pinky nail. Though its small its very durable and smooth. As you try this chill pill it feels as though its snowing in your nose and mouth like a blizzard. As the previous taste in my mouth disappears out comes a sweet, almost icy breath. As it dissolves in your mouth the sweet yet natural flavors only amplifies. It leaves a rich and cooling aftertaste.   These chill pills remind me of when I was younger in elementary school whenever we had big tests my teachers would always pass out some of these sweets and would give me the same sensation. Also it reminds me of Christmas time when I would eat the canes the off of the Christmas tree, bring back n...

Bass Fun!

Hello Everyone, Playing bass has been a hobbie of mine for the last 5 years. Though I'm not as good as I want to be yet, It has turned into a fun passion for me. I wanted to see if I could influence more people into picking up an instrument, even if its not a bass, and trying to learn it. If you really love music and have some money to spare, I 100% believe you should at least look into to something you would want to try and learn.    Starting Out... It may be seem difficult at first but stick with it, nothing is easy when you first start out. Perseverance is key when your first starting out.If you really dont know where to start Youtube is still a decent resource to get you started there are a ton of super helpful videos to help you understand get a feel for your instrument.Also I would highly recommond learning some music thoery it will help tremendously.
