Street Art

Qualities that i noticed in the documentary that i can transfer into my own work is how unique all of the artists were from eachother and how they all had different art styles and how they all kind of had different little messages in their art. I also noticed that they were very passionate about what they did as artists. even though mr. Brainwash wasnt an artist at first but simply a filmer, he had to film every little thing like i dont think the camera ever leaves his hand everyday, showing that he was passionate about what he did. All of the artists were awesome and usually documentaries are really boring but surprisingly i enjoyed watching this one.

What amazed me about the artists work was how creative it is, and how dangerous it really is to put artwork like theirs all over the world on tall buildings and walls how they do, not only because theres a good chance you could get hurt but also the fact that its illeagle and if they were to be caught they would be arrested. What also amazed me is how good their art actually is, like when you hear someone say "graffiti" or even street art you might think like its trashy, looks bad or maybe even like gang affiliated. even though they get what they want to put up fairly quick because of the authorities or even people seeing, everything they do looks pretty proffessional but still has the graffiti kind of concept, if that makes any sense. After watching this documentary i realized that ive actually seen some of the artwork around downtown area, i always see the andre the giant stickers and stencils.

The artists used there crafts to convey a message by taking original pictures of past famous political people and changing the picture up to in a way make fun of the government. or to even be sarcastic about the way things are in our everyday life for example, in one of the art pieces there is a little girl searching a soldier like they do at airports and big events instead of the authority or security guard, whoever it might be doing the same to the little girl or to any other person. I think that alot of art pieces that these artists put up everywhere though have no meaning and are just purely imagination. I thought it was really cool how each artist had their own little signature character that they were known for, like space invader and his video game pixel people, and the andre the giant has a posse guy.

Political cartoons

An editorial cartoon, also known as a political cartoon, is an illustration or comic strip containing a political or social message, that usually relates to current events or personalities.

The purpose of political cartoons is to explain an imortant event or current event that is happening in our government, but in a humerous way that everyone can enjoy but most of all understand.

The Metamorphosis Chapter 3

I think what kafka was trying to say by turning greggor into a bug Was that he felt like a bug. Nobody like bugs, whenever someone sees a bug they talk about how gross it is, they are a nuscense to most people, and we can all agree that we wish they were never here. So what im thinking is that kafka used this human to bug transformation to explain how greggor was feeling amd maybe how people were treating him. Like his boss or family. Greggor definitely could have lived a better life before he passed away, and maybe if he wasnt feeling like a "bug" even though he was one, he wouldnt have died.

I think kafka chose the roach as the transformation bug in the story because roaches are just about the most disgusting insect anyone could encounter. They Are dirty, ugly and i bet even some people are scared of them. On the other hand, when someone sees a frog they think its cool, and frogs dont really bother anyone. They mind their own business and it is a rearity for someone to see a frog in a normal everyday setting likr we sometimes see roaches and other gross bugs, and this is why i think kafka chose the roach for the story.

The metamorphosis chapter 2

The Samsa Family is definitely an odd family of course but that doesnt mean they cant benefit eachother, they all care a lot for eachother, and they look out for eachother when needed. For example, when the transformation happened to Greggor, his sister was always there for him.  Even though she was deathly scared of him she fed him, and even cleaned his disgusting room, because she cared for him."ahh greggor liked what i left today"...."mother i need your help to clear furniture from gregor's room"  these are all signs and evidence that shows caring  from the family.  The samsa family also benefit eachother in other ways, for example, the morning of the transformation greggor obviously did not go to work.  Almost immediately his family was worried about him and wondering what was wrong with him.  "greggor, its a quarter to seven...arent you planning to catch your train?"...."Greggor, its grete are you alright? Do you need anything?"

On the other hand the samsa family have some ways that might harm one another.  They do not show it before greggors transformation but it all pours out afterwards.  Just because greggor was not normal, and definitely not looking normal, the family accept for grete turned their back to greggor and even wanted to get rid of him, even though deep down it was actually their own son.  Greggors father was even trying to harm greggor, maybe even kill him at one point without stopping to think that it was his own son that he was soing harm to.  "spare greggor, i beg you spare him!"..."shooo!"...greggors father even tryed to stomp on poor greggor.

                                                                       My Five rules


     -Respect

    - love

    -caring

    -communication

    -happiness


I give the Samsa Family a B+ on my rules because i dont think their family was happy at all. Greggor hated his job, his family was supposedly in dept until greggor overheard them talk about how they probably had enough money to pay it off, Mr. Samsa was rather grumpy at times, and everything was a mess, especially when the transformation happened, so they werent happy not one little bit. 

The metamorphosis chapter 1.)

The circumstances in Gregor's life that could have caused him to feel dehumanized is his job first of all. Gregor pretty much hates his job, and everything about it just seems like hell on earth for him. Gregor dispises his boss, in the story he tells about how when he has enough money to pay off his mothers dept, the first thing he will do before quitting is tell off his boss. Other difficulties Greggor faces with his job are traveling, the worries of train connections, bad food, and changing human relationships, all of this he hates about his job.

Another circumstance in Greggors life that may have caused him to feel dehumanized are his parents. They seem to be very annoying and in fact they treat him a little bit like a baby. For example, as soon as they noticed greggor didnt leave for work the morning of his metamorphosis, it seemed like his whole family was knocking on his door to nagg him about it, even his sister. They shouldnt be so worried about what he does and if hes not going to work or not, because he is a grown man and he can take care of himself so greggor probably feels very annoyed and erritated when he is around them, which is all the time sense he lives with them.
