​Preview: You are going to hear a story  from to someone who migrated from one area to another and how she had to adjust to life in their new environment.

Reflection:

I believe crossing boundaries generally have to do with two situations one is to better your life or the life of others and the other is to break a norm because you don’t that it fits with ones personal morals. For example moving to America was a way for Kristi’s dad to better his family’s life with the new job opportunities he could obtain in the United States. I found this project to be very fun and creative because we all got to research are own diverse subjects and explore as journalist. This made it more engaging to me because I had the ability to not make it boring. Also during the videos I learned a lot about the different and cultures in Germany and Albania. But I found that editing and creating a podcast extremely hard because some times you cant get the volume or the correct deletion of bites to fit correctly.

 

Strengths: Good Questions, Made it seem like a real radio/podcast, Volume lacked background noise for the most part.

Weakness: Choppy Editing

My name is Tyanna Pleasant and today, we will discuss why my sister, Dabreyah Pleasant, chose to like a person of the same sex, what she classifies herself as and why, and why my older brother, Talib Bailey, does not approve of her decision. 

While doing this project, I learned that crossing boundaries is when a person steps out of their comfort zone or when they make decisions that other do not approve of. My sister crossed boundaries when she decided to stay with her girlfriend even after some of the people in my family does not approve of it. She is doing what she truly believes. I think that in order to cross a boundary you have to do it because its what you want for yourself. Doing these interviews made me realize that my brother and sister are two totally different people, and they have different opinions. The fact that my brother does not like that our sister is dating someone the same sex as her bothers him. he does not understand why she wants this for herself. My sister on the other hand knows what she wants, which is Lynnae, her girlfriend. My strengths of this pod cast are having an interesting story. Also having my interviewees elaborate on their responses. A weakness may be trying to make my podcast longer. Also try adjusting the background music so that it all is at an equal level of quality.

 

This interview is about a man overcoming an obstacle, and being something he never imagined he would be

For me doing this interview was a great learning experience. I believe that with anybody when you do an interview like I did it should always be a learning experience. For me I knew some of the boundaries that my father had to cross but I did not know them in depth. This interview made me more knowledgeable about my father and what he went through. This also taught me more about the relationship my mother and father have. That through this time in his life she was pretty much the backbone for him. My father showed me how much more responsible he is now because of what he went through and that he is truly a better man because of this. My life would be totally different if my father was still in his addiction. The lives of my brothers and sisters would be different if my father had not made this change in his lifestyle. Him going back to church and going back to school is a lesson for everyone. He is a prime example that no matter where you come from or who you used to be that you can accomplish any and everything that you might want to. 

Preview: My father dropping out of school when he was in the third grade, and he made it in the world with the little bit of knowledge that has.

The experience of doing interviews – what did you learn and discover, about others or yourself?
Through out this experience of interviews I learned that people know what they want to say but have a hard time saying it. I also learned that people have stories that are kept untold and they personally should be told. I discovered that doing an interview takes time and patience; you can't expect to get all of the stuff and the things that you need all at one time. Hearing other people's interviews made me realize that there are some things that I can do better with mines. Also, that music does indeed have an impact how your interview grabs attention.

Comments from your peers – agree or disagree, and why?
I agree with what they said because what they said was productive. Basically they both told me that I should add music and relate it to the interview itself. If it wasn't for them telling me to add the music I don't think I would like my finishing product as much as I do.

Your own strengths or weaknesses
My own strengths in my project were the questions that I asked my mother, I asked her questions that she would know about her husband, because my dad can not speak the best English my mother had to be his translator. Also, I like the background the music, and the way it all flowed together, I chose “Successful” by Drake because it reminds me of the whole theme of my interview. The main weakness in my project is the volume, I was it was a little louder.

 

My father crossed boundaries when he did not near complete school but he made someone of himself, and I am proud to say that he is my father.

Have you ever dared to be different than the people around you? This is a story about my mother and her leap away from her family's tradition. 


Reflection: 

   In my opinion crossing boundaries means to leave something from your past behind with the potential to strengthen your present life. I think that crossing boundaries can either be a good or a bad thing. It can be good because if it works it could make your life fuller and richer, but if it doesn’t it could make your life miserable. You could possibly lose everything if you make a decision to cross a boundary and it doesn’t work out for you. However sometimes even if you think something is not working out, you are learning at the same time and can grow from the experience. Crossing any boundary and doing things outside of your familiar norm is taking a chance but it could be a fantastic chance to try new things.

    While doing the interview with my mother I learned that I actually have a lot more freedom with my life than I thought I had before. That was a very liberating concept, but also a scary one, as it opens up a lot of choices for my future. The fact that her parents didn’t understand what she was doing and she kept persevering gave me inspiration for possibilities in my life.

 The hardest part of this assignment was keeping track of which part of the interview was already done, because it is not like a paper where it is all right in front of you. I agree with all of the comments from my peers because I know that sometimes the music overpowers the voices. During this project I realized that once I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy to edit audio in garage band, it just took longer than expected.

Esta arte es de Chávez que no quiere que ay socialismo, el socialismo es cuando los ricos y pobres están amigos y pueden ayudar unos a los otros pero en el ojo de el, un hombre malo, no quiere eso por que es no gusta para el. El no es rey para decidir como otros viven so el no puede decir algo do los pobres ni los ricos.

Hugo Chavez se cree que es el principe.Nacio en 28 de julio del 1954. El es un socialista de Venezuela. Nació en Venezuela. El piensa que el socialismo es el mejor camino.Pero todos peinsan muy mal de el. Piensan que , se cree rey?

En la picture, Hugo Chavez llamado George Bush, el diablo. Este pictura es muy comica porque Hugo Chavez se viste como el diablo. El no le gusta Bush porque de los desiciones de el con los estados unidos.

En esta tira cómica, Hugo Chávez es con Fidel Castro como un niño abaraza su mamá. Castro es sonriente también. La tira cómica quiere expresar que la alianza entre de Castro y Chávez y como sus cuidadanos no son muy felices con sus gobiernos en sus países.

​So, Comic Sans thinks he’s the big cheese, does he?  Horsefeathers!  Let me tell you, he’s all wet.  Drinks too much giggle water and he’s stuck on Futura!  American Typewriter is the kind of spiffy font you’re looking for!  I’m the cat’s meow!  A classy throwback to the days when every newspaper office was full of fedoras and cigarette smoke.  That was a swell time!  Nowadays everyone uses computers, but I’m still around!  Oh, the kids say Helvetica’s swanky, but you know what I say?  Applesauce!  I’m still a hotsy-totsy, hard-boiled darb, and Helvetica’s a sans-serif bluenose!  The whole thing makes me snap my cap.  Anyway, I’d better scram—I’m going to meet Times New Roman at the gin mill, and then we’re off to the joint to meet some keen dillies.

En el comico politico de Fidel Castro y Hugo Chavez esta muy interesante. Fidel Castro esta un hombre del militaría . Hugo Chavez esta un perro en la regazo de Fidel Castro. Fidel Castro frotaba  la cara de Chavez durante los estaciones de televisión  y los compañía de petróleo esta muertas gatas. Fidel Castro dice "¿Quién dice que no puede enseñar a un perro trucos nuevos?" La comica sugere que Fidel esta el maestro del Chavez y Castro pede Chavez que hacer.

I had interview my dad and he is talking about his school life and how fun it was for him.

En este tira comica, el artista demonstró Hugo Chávez en una vista negativa. Una television simboliza la libertad de las personas en Venezuela y Chávez tiene un remoto. Pero con el remoto Chávez destruye el television y símbolicamente la libertad de las personas en Venezuela.

En esta tira comica, el presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chavez esta dando la mano con el lider de China, y los Estados Unidos son frustrado, y parecen miedoso. Significa que Hugo Chavez esta aliando con paises como China, que es algo que los Estados Unidos no gusten. Tambien, Hugo Chavez y el hombre de China miren feliz, que significa que el alianza esta bueno para China y a Venezuela.

Yo soy María Luisa Infante. Tengo 35 años, un esposo, y dos hijos. Ellos se llaman Patricio, Gonzalo, y Isabel. Soy rica, y siempre fue rica, me gusta ser rico porque es una vida mejor que los otros. Quiero el mejor para mis niños, ellos deben ser un educación igual a el dinero que tenemos. No me gusta el presidente Allende porque niños sin mucho dinero pueden tener el educación igual a mis niños, pero tenemos mucho más dinero. Quiero un presidente nuevo, el necesita entiendo que me merezco el mejor, porque el dinero vas a creer un vida más bueno de una vida sin dinero.

El mural que voy a juzgar es el cargador de flores, hechos por Diego Rivera. Son dos personas en el mural, uno quien es en el piso. El tiene muchas flores, y pienso que el es “el cardador de flores” que el titulo significa. El otro persona ayuda el hombre con los flores, porque el no puede caminar. Su espalda está un paina porque los flores son muy fuertes, y el no puede cagar mucho. Hay muchos colores brillantes en el mural. Los colores son importantes porque más personas vas a gustar este obra de arte. Todos los flores son rosados, o morados. Cuando veo a este mural, los colores son muy brillantes, pero no pienso que ellos deben ser brillantes. Los colores deben ser oscuro porque el situación que el hombre está en. El es muy triste porque no puede cargar los flores, y es posible que este es su trabajo.

Así lo veo, el 11 de Septiembre 1973 fue un día muy Buena. El gobierno socialismo se fue, y un gobierno capitalismo toma poder. Allende fue porque Los Estados Unidos y otros organizaron un golpe de estado contra de Allende. Los Estados Unidos organizaron el golpe de estado porque ellos quieren estar aliado con Chile. Era el tiempo de la Guerra Fría, y Los Estados Unidos quieren más aliados, las comunistas fueran unas amanzanas a Los Estados Unidos. Los Estados Unidos no le gustaron los países socialismos o comunismos. Para mi, este día fue buena porque un presidencia capitalismo es mejor para mi y mi familia. Somos de la clase alta, y Allende fue muy mal, pero fue bueno para las clases medios o obrero. Recuerdo que fui en mi casa cuando el gobierno derrumbó, recuerdo que fui a un manifestación solo dos días antes de el golpe de estado. Los dos personas en el mural representan personas de pocos recursos. Los colores deben ser más obscuro, porque ser pobre es una cosa muy triste, y no bueno como los colores brillantes. El propósito  de la obra de arte es que la vida es más difícil sin dinero, y necesitas trabajar muy duro cuando no tienen dinero. Es ridículo cuando personas piensan que este mensaje está equivocado. Diego Rivera pintó porque el mensaje es muy importante, es mucho mejor para ser rico en el su vida, todos vas a ser más fácil. Estoy de acuerdo con este mural porque sí es mucho más fácil cuando eres ricos, porque dinero pueden comprar un educación mejor, y muchas cosas.

Escogé este obra de art, e porque la obra de arte tiene un buen punto. Estoy de acuerdo con unos de los mensajes de la obra, los personas pobres tienen más problemas en la vida que los ricos. No estoy de acuerdo con los colores, ellos deben ser muy oscuro porque es una cosa triste. Presto atención a este cuadro porque los colores son muy brillantes, pero los personas tienen una vida difícil.
