Side Note: My last 1 second should be all of the citations. It shows up on the original file, but for some reason it doesn't when you play it on here. I found out that if you were to randomly click on the bar near the end of the video, it is possible for the video to end with the citation slide.

​Cuando pienso en las películas que miremos en clase, pienso en las representaciones diferentes de las mujeres.Todos son de España y por esto puedo conectar uno al otro, pero los directores representan todas de las mujeres en una manera diferente y transforman sus papeles. 
Yo Soy la Juani se trata de una joven con sueños tan grande para ser actriz. Ella vive en una ciudad en España rural y por esto no tuvo las oportunidades para sacar sus sueños. La película hay muchas temas sobre relaciones entre novios y novias. Antes de moviendo a Madrid, Juani la protagonista, estaba saliendo con un mecánico se llama Jonah. Jonah engañaba en Juani con la novia de un otro hombre. Cuando Juani averiguó, creó que fue un incidente aislado y que Jonah vas a cambiar. Sin dudo, esto pasaba muchos tiempos mas. Esto monstra la dependencia de mujeres en hombres y la ingenuidad quien hay mujeres en amor.  
Todo Sobre Mi Madre y Volver son películas de Pedro Almodovar. En su películas, Almodovar, representa mujeres fuertes quien luchan por lo que quieren. Es interesante que ni Volver ni Todo Sobre Mi Madre hay muchos carácter's hombres. Ambos hay protagonistas feminina y los hombres solo son papeles pequenos y en Todo Sobre Mi Madre todos de los hombres eran travestidos y quisieron ser mujeres. Puedo concluir que Almodovar tiene mucho respecto para el papel de mujeres en sociedad.

​

Fat cats and poor, rags versus rich,

Been playing too long its causing a glitch,

The Monopolizing monopolies the fat cats who rule

They're taxing the poor and acting far too cruel

 The change in America isn't change for the better

Mother Liberty is dying and I got a question will we let her?

This monopoly is a game I ask what piece are you

The fat cats who collect or the players without a clue

We're suffering for their choices, but they're deaf when we holler

Passing GO too many times and collecting our 200 dollars

Rockefeller and Carnegie the ingredients destroying our system

The ones with money and greed but no sense of wisdom

Teddy shot them down on an economical hunt

Solving many problems on a diplomatic front

Stopping the railroad, the coal, the game altogether

Busting the trusts and making life better

The monopolies were dead, but the game still went on

Sucking Americas work and hope until it was all gone

The stock market crashed, the system had faded

Until FDR came along took the system and upgraded

The WPA, and Social Security Act

Brought the economy higher than before and that's a fact

Making jobs for the unemployed was from the Civil Works Administration

Healing the scars one by one of a broken Nation

​Explain your choice of Presentation Format:

I chose to present with a poem, because I feel that writing poetry would better show my understanding of the topic rather then creating a powerpoint.


Two sentences about your answer to the essential question.

What questions do you sill have about business in America?
Is there anyway that business could be successful for everybody?

What does Unconditional Love mean to you? Unconditional love is love that never stops and regardless of what happens, bad or good you will love this person until death. What if you never saw this person again? How would you feel? 

​I always wondered how many people can pass as something there not, by there color or features. Maybe from where hey grew up or ever there accents. Does this effect there life, maybe there families life.this is an interview about race and how it can be played with and looked at in many different ways.

From this project I learned that people cross boundaries  in many different ways. They cross racial boundaries, relation, language, appearance,stereo types and many other ones also.While doing this project I discovered that someone in my family was dark enough to pass for indian and I was actually surprised. Crossing boundaries doesn't necessarily mean running across a boundary. It can mean different things.It could mean doing something other than your family or being with people that don't speak the same boundary as you, or even becoming a different religion than what you grew up as.There are sometimes benefits and some times costs for becoming this. For example my grab uncle changed his race to a full indian because he passed as one.He benefited from this because he became apart of a good family and learned a lot about a new culture. But he also lost the rights to see his old and when he did he couldn't be related to them in any type of way because we are russian, and other ethnicities and he was not that anymore.While I was doing interviews I learned that when you asked people question they usually talk a lot. An interview is very hard to edit because you can't pause it. 

During my interview there was a lot of unexpected errors. There was many pauses and my grandmother ended up talking very LOUD. I couldn't make this lower because the rest of it would have been. I had to do a lot of cutting so the interview could flow through with out anyone being able to tell she coughed a lot. Although I did this I got pretty good comments. Other than what I know that she was talking loud they told me my music towards the end was a bit loud also and it was covering the ending of the interview. I did that purposely because it was another person but they almost repeated what someone said before. I agree with them but overall I think my final project was pretty good.  

My Granddad's hard But charmed life and stories that he told me about getting by, He crossed a lot of boundaries ass a kid, and some as an adult.there is a bunch of life lessons and what you should and shouldn't do situations

Reflection

The experience of doing interview, well in my podcast I interviewed my grandfather, twice. Once like earlier in the year, and the other time last week, there are two different interviews that I did some of them are old ones and most of them are ones from last week, I though in the old ones because some of them had a lot to do about crossing boundaries. Like stealing shoes, or stealing anything for that matter, I thing the main part or the crossing boundaries part is mostly about stealing things to survive, in the 1940s.

 

Editing was a lot easier then what I thought it would be, because the music I chose just went perfectly with the interview itself.

 

My weakness was about the volume itself, like the music was too loud while the voice was too low. Nothing I can’t fix though.

 

I agree with the comments my peers gave me because they are right, and honest about their feedback. Also they tell what, and what not to edit and they like most of the editing anyway.
