Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIKvUzbuGiE Lyrics: I woke up it was 7 I waited 'til 11 To figure out that no one would call I think I got a lot of friends But I don't hear from them What's another night all alone When you're spending every day on your own And here it goes I'm just a kid And life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone And the world is Having more fun then me Tonight And maybe when the night is dead I'll crawl into my bed I'm staring at these four walls again I'll try to think about the last time I had a good time Everyone's got somewhere to go And they're gonna leave me here on my own And here it goes I'm just a kid And life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is Having more fun than me What the hell is wrong with me Don't fit in with anybody How did this happen to me? Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep And every night is the worst night ever I'm just a kid I'm just a kid I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid) Yeah, I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid) I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid) I'm just a kid And life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that its not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is Nobody wants to be alone in the world I'm just a kid And all life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that its not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is Nobody wants to be alone in the world Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone And the world is Having more fun than me Tonight I'm all alone Tonight Nobody cares Tonight 'cause I'm just a kid tonight!

Summary Of This Week

Before this whole thing of modernism I knew who was Igor Stravinski, the russian compositor, he used atonalism and serialism to make all his music; I also knew who was Claude Debusy, french compositor, and what was modernism but only in music. I learned how and when was modernism in art, architecture, and the definition. Beign different is what modernism is all about, such as Holden in the Catcher in the Rye, always trying to be different from the rest and making everyone look like phonies. I'll need to review everything that has to do with the definition, I don't understand it very well, and I'll need also yo investigate a little more about The Catcher in the Rye and modernism, so I can make some new connections.

Letter for Jane Gallagher

Dear Jane, How are you doing?, it's been a long time since the last time we met, there are many things that i want to tell you, so we can say that that is the main point of this letter. First, I have been expelled from Pencey prep., those phonies gave me the axe, I failed also History with a very interesting essay of the Egyptians, I just told what I could and say that I knew I was flunking and all. I passed English, I'm a great writer I think. Later that day that phonie called Stradlater told me to write an essay for English for him, so I did but he didn't liked it and after some discussion he gave me a beat down and probably he broke my nose. I have one big doubt, something happened between you and Stradlater? I'm very curious and i think that you don't have to be with that kinda' phonies, you may be asking, so with what kind of guys I should go out? Well, I think that with guys that are like me, you know, good guys and all, just saying. Whenever you can we could hang out some time, you know, talk bout' how is being live and all. I seriously miss you, I miss those checkers matches I hope you can answer the faster you can, you know, faster better. Hopefully you can go with me to somewhere where we can talk. Jesus! It's late sorry if I didn't explain some things when we met I'll told you, Wishing the best, Holden

Reading Comprehension "The Catcher in the Rye"

1) How does the narrator feel? He feels that he's not part of the society, he's not very comfortable with the school, his brother, his parents. "... Now he's in Hollywood, D.B., being a prostitute..." In this phrase Holden says that he's not very positive with the society and what is thi making to D.B., his brother. he says that he's being a prostitute, in other words he`s selling himself to the system. (THE LESSON OF THIS IS NEVER TRUST THE SYSTEM) 2)What does the conversation between Holden and Mr Spence symbolize? Symbolizes what Holden thinks about his future "...I feel some concern for my future, all right. Sure. Sure, I do. But not too much, I guess..." This conversation with Mr Spencer made Holden think about his future, and old Spencer says that he will, very suspcious in my opinion, and Holden says that that answer made him depressed, he also says that sounds like he was going to die or something, suspicious....

Detail Explaniation of the techniques used

The techniques we used are:
Celebrities to make people want to go to the club and be with their idol and train with him, "The club will be adressed by the Ufc Heavyweight actual champion Cain Velasquez".
 We used problem/benefit to make people be interested if they have this problem, "This club will train you and also, if you are good at the sport, you will be able to fight against other people from other schools to improve the fighting experience." and we used this technique using the problem with the charity problems of people and church saying that if they come they will help the church and poor people, "7% of the money will go to charity cases and 3% to the church." and we used it a third time in our posterusing the problem of injuries and the benefit that we pay if something happens, "Every injury that happens in the class will be responsability of the owners of the club.".

Description of Advertising Campaign

 Our campaign makes people be informed of the new academy that Pablo and I created. The public that is referred is boys from 14 to 16 years old to make it more equalized and we're trying to make a club for younger boys but not in the begining so if you you're not 14 years old just wait, we'll try our best to do another club. We're trying to make people join our club and have a good time and make people know about other sports that are not common, like football or rugby, and make them be informed about this kind of sports. We used print media (the pamphlet), internet (the glogster), and broadcast media (podcast). The steps we followed was: designing the pamphlet in class, bringing information from the house, then we made our glogster: http://iruiz98.edu.glogster.com/mma-glog/ , it was created in class but we finished in our homes, and record our voices in the radio commercial, https://voicethread.com/share/4467847/ , explaining why you should join the class and how you can join it.

2. Answers pg. 162

1) Decreases the popularity if the film industry.
2) Television affects the film industry since movies and showas appear on the TV and radio uses recorded music that before was bought from the music store, but they could help if they promote the fil industry and the records industry.
3) Because it shows what used to be in records and films. The internet stopped almost completly because you can connect now to internet and search for it.
4) That the proffesional needs a lot of time to produce good fims, and amateur requires less time. The proffesional tries to make it comfortable to the audience and the amateur not neccesarly, but this can change, making the amateur longer, more comfortable.

Anecdote

  I was a 13 year old kid that lived in a house in the west coast of Chile, Concon. It was a cold night and i was playing "League of Legends" when some weird noise was heared in my house, but only I heard it. I finished the game and went down to my bedroom and tried to sleep. But i cant, that sound was still there, a very sharp chirp that wasn't ending. I hid under my sheets and wait.
 Time passed and when I thought it was a blinding light appeared for a second a when it dissapeared it was 10 A.m. of the next day.
 That day I looked outside and saw that the rose plant that was there was completly destroyed, by the way the plante never grew up again, but no one noticed that it was something unussual, they thought it was normal, maybe no one watered the plant in days and I didn't looked outside all that days, but I have my doubts about that day.
 That sound appears some night but without the light or the light appears but not the sound, but the night passes normally and I wake up normally. I'm getting used to it...

Activity

I)
  1)
    a) The media offers us easy acces to wide set of data.
    b) Gives us insight into general language.
  2) Back and forth communication that takes place between individuals or among a group of people. For example a simple conversation.

  3) Lines are new  blurred between reciprocal and mass communication.



  4) Individuals have limited potential to reach a wide audience, another disadvantage is that the message can be changed if it's not understood.
II)
  1) Text 1 talks about the language in media, text 2 about the definition of mass communications, and the last one talks about people as medium.
  2) The questions function is to make us think about the answer of those questions.
