Internship Talks

In the conversations that we had with the 11th grade was exciting and it taught me a few things about life and about internship. The idea that real stood out to me was mentors.  Mentors are supposed to be strict and knowledgeable but what if you did have a mentor that was funny and entertaining.  This idea made me question what I want in a mentor and what I want in an internship. In my internship I am looking for a great mentor one who he knows what he is doing and has a lot of passion in what he is doing. I am also looking for a internship that does not see kids as a waste of time one that will teach me the knowledge I need to know. The sad thing is that half of the people do care about money and say that why would we get an intern that we have to train and they only be here a week instead higher someone.  The time passing poem was the only one that painted a picture in my head .It was about time and when you are sitting down doing work your brain sometime shuts off you cant hear you cant think and the only thing you see is time mocking you in the face. The picture in my head was a man sitting in a little desk with a computer turn on and he was on word about to type a easy but he was frozen and the only thing that I saw in his computer was one word THE. The other poems were really good but that was the one I saw a picture come to life in my head.

Suheir Hammad & Marjane Satrapi on War

“I know that beat it is lifeless.” One of the quotes that Suheir Hammad said in her poem. This is a great connection to Majane in Persepolis, it shows the war that happened in Iran when they started bombing. Majane said that the bombs were natural and even though we knew the bombs could kill us we did not go to the basement any more. Another great quote was “I will not lend my rhythm or my beat I will dance and resist.” This connection to all of the times Marjane rebelled against the veil, the war, the Shaw and or all of the people that wasn’t fair with women’s rights. These quotes were the first ones that I saw as a great example to relate to the book Persepolis. They stood out not only for that reason but for the reason that they were a inspiration to a revolution.
“I will not forget where I come from. I will make my own drum!” This is a huge connection to Persepolis. This is where Marjane mom, dad, and grandma told her it does not matter where you are never forget yourself and were you come from. In my opinion this is the root and the key inspiration of the book. “Do not fear what has blown up. Fear the un exploded.”  This quote is very strong and poetic it has so much meaning. In my opinion the meaning is let go of the past there is nothing there the future is still to come. That was the one quote that stood out to me the most and I think this is the best line in her poem very power full words with a great meaning.

STREET ART

 The street art had many different qualities and different point of views. Each with a unique design and a strong meaning. I can transfer this knowledge into my art work by thinking out side of the box. To show a good stand point of my consumption in other words, let the picture tell it self.
In this documentary something really stood out to me, something about the artist work. It was how simple the art was but yet it told a strong message if you realy took the time to look at it. Another thing that stood out to me was some artist had painting that will connect together to form another painting. For example space invader all over Los Angelis put little alien and if you connect all the path of the space invader you will get one huge space invader.
I saw a lot of deep messages in the painting of the art. As I said it so simple but with a huge message. One art work there was little girl patting down a soldier, it was weird but the message finely hit me. It stood for peace in a way, how every time a police officer arrested a guy he would pat them down to check for guns. In this case the girl was patting down the soldier and was still looking for guns but it was to show that no one had right of power, every one is equal.
