I don't know. Go figure.

They used to be walking towards the house, not the forest, every day just for a kiss of their dad.Every single weekend, Zimbabwe and Khanskhan went to the lake with their dad to get some fish and just to have fun; they loved their dad Pakistan. They lived together in a small wodden in 1923, then they moved to another house down the green alley in 1924 and after that, they finally stayed at another wooden house down the 4th avenue infront of the Sleepy Forest. Every morning, Pakistan always told the girls the story of the forest eventhough most of the times, were with out the girl's approvement. He used to say "whenever you get sad my darlings, go to the forest and you will find butterflyes and flowers and a reason to be happy". Pakistan took a lot of care with the two girls and was always caring if the girls were happy or sad since Argentina, Pakistan's wife, died in an accident. Pakistan noticed that some days, both of the girls went together to the forest after having breakfast, just to stay relaxed and to not remember the tragedy. The forest helped them a lot, just like their father said. One day, somebody knocked on the door and Zimbabwe opened... the police were taking Pakistan in custody for stealing money from a bank and armed robbery. It was not an understandable moment for the girls, Khanskhan was old enough to take care of Zimbabwe since they were about to live alone. 2 years have passed and their lives have not changed that much, everything remains the same, there is only one father missing, on great father. They try not to get into the forest that much, but it's impossible to resist, after too much of their dad's talking, they finally realised that every word that came from his mouth, had a deep meaning as every action he was inforced with.

One of the most crazy trips I've going in to happened about 5000 km from here. On a friday morning, my uncle decided to take us to Canada, just like that. The first thing we thought was 'this dude got into something serious', and he's trying to takes us with him. After a little talk, my cousin and I decided to come along just for the ride. We took about 45 to 50 min to get to the U.S-Canada boarder, after that, we ate McMuffins at a Mcdonal's, which were really good, we rode for 30 more minutes and the road started to get full of cows and horses. The animals stood there for about 25 min, some of them pooped on the car, it was grose but cool. Finally, we continued or way. About 10 miles from the waterfalls my cousin and I wanted to seriously go to the bathroom... we hold it up for about 30 minutes! because my uncle couldn't find somewhere to stop and mind our bussineses. We took an emergency stop and finally pee, but at somebody's backyard. The owner saw us and he yelled at us, he was mad as a bull. He walked down the deck and wrote down the number of the car's id. After that, we got to back to the car and there was this classic sound so intense called total 'silence'. We got to the waterfalls and enjoyed the moment. I would neve forget that trip, event after event, it was awesome.

- Dad! I am going to school already, I'll see you later! - Krad said as he left the house. He had a long way before he could reach the road to take the bus for school, but he was early, so Krad took his time walking.
Krad always walked to the road, sat there with his backpack, and waited for the bus to come and pick him up.
Every season, mother nature changes the terrain Krad has to cross. Last time, winter made it really difficult. All the snow filtered through Krad's clothes making him all wet and cold, there was no day in which he didn't catch a new type of cold. Vacations arrived and let winter melt, and this was his first day in a new spring; no one still knows the condition of the big terrain that the young boy has pass by.
- It doesn't looks as bad as I expected.. - Krad thought as he walked. The terrain, actually, had a pretty good view; the first flowers were sprouting, the grass was as green as it could be, it was a spring like no other.. Just like if every bad in the world had and end that day.
As Krad advanced, he couldn't stop looking at all the little details in the new terrain he was walking on; tiny ladybugs on top of the branches, butterflies dancing as the wind blows, and the sprout of light the flowers expelled to the boy's face. This made Krad happy, he was in a fantasy world. - How could a day be as beautiful as this?.. This reflects a lot of happiness.. Maybe, too much happiness..- Thought Krad, just as something reflected a blast of light in his face calling his attention.
What was a mirror doing in a place like that? It was brand new, and as clean as it could be. Krad took it, and looked at it. - Well, I have never seen myself in such a clear reflection.. What in the world?! - Krad began to shake in surprise, the mirror did reflected his face, but it wasn't all.. there were 2 persons looking above Krad's shoulders.. The most horrible faces.. Staring right at the boy's eyes. - You are taking too long. - One of the faces spoke - Break the mirror already.- replied the same voice. Krad, looked behind him to check if those two beings were actually behind him. Only the same terrain he just passed by was there, he looked back into the mirror, - We need you dark.. We need you dark.. the day is too brigth today.. We need you dark.. - the two faces keep repeating, as both suddenly took Krad's reflection by the shoulders violently. Krad thought he feel it and scared to death, dropping the mirror at the soil, which broke in pieces.
Krad violently woke up, he was in his bedroom. - It was all a dream.. - Krad said.

Krad looked out the window, and spring was flourishing, not a happy spring.. just, an every year spring. He put his college uniform on, and his mandatory ID over his chest. "Krad Code: Udeen-EW". Krad, stood in front of his mirror to check if everithing was right in him, as he read his ID in the mirror: "WE-needU :edoC darK"

Hat (Blog Assignment #3)

There was a time when people were measured by the size of their hats, the one with the biggest and stylist hat had more power in society, even become a President in a community. So there was this guy who had this little hat and was so poor he needed to ask for money and ate from the trash can outside the restaurant. One day when he was looking for something to eat, he saw a guy with a big hat made of gold outside the restaurant, he wasn't wearing it and had no intention of using one. So he goes to the dude and says "Hey man, spare some change?" And this dude responds, "How about I give you the chance to be famous and have lots of money?" So he leaves the guy thinking that he could use the money to buy ketchup and some mayonnaise to do sandwiches so he asks him what to do. "All you have to do is wear this hat for 3 days and you'll be as famous as the Talking Tuna Sandwich with a Hat." And he freaks out and demands to wear this hat, since everyone knows Talking Tuna Sandwiches with Hats are famous.

So the next day he wakes up in a floating mansion full of woman and gold, so he freaks out again and goes crazy spending money for 2 hours in anything he wanted, including a lifetime supply of mayonnaise and ketchup to do burritos. But on the 3rd day, he forgot to use his hatm so the dude that gave him his hat went to his floating mansion and told him "You disobeyed me. Now you will be like you were before." So he kicked him out of the mansion and threw him his supply of ketchup and maynnaise with him. The End

This is fun.

Subject. Audience. Purpose

What subject is the ad addressing?

That we want peace in our lifes, not the war.

Who is the target audience?

To the people who make the war.

What is the intended purpose?

to improve peace all around the world so we can live like peaceful and civilized people.

Is the ad successful in achieving its purpose?

I think that mostly yes, because lots of people see this and start thinking that it is what they really want and they demand to those who make the war to stop it.

Subject. Audience. Purpose. (Blog Assignment #2)

What subject is the ad addressing?

• The damages people do to the forests.

Who is the target audience?

• the people that travel to the forests, all kind of people

What is the intended purpose?

• That people take more care of their forests, to dont throw trash in the enviromnt, and to prevent the cut of trees.

Is the ad successful in achieving its purpose?

• I think that in some way and for some people it works, but for many other it doesnt matter so they dont take care of their enviroment.

Impossible is nothing.

This is the latest Adidas advertisment is currently spreading. Impossible is nothing. Adidas has some TV ads that include famous sportmen like David Beckham, telling, how they had a real hard time in trying to accomplish their goals. One of my favorites is Kaká's. He hurt his 6th vertabrate, and was afraid of not being able to play football again, and he did a list of goals he wanted to achieve before he could think of giving up, some of them were, to play for Sao Paulo, play in a Europe team, participate in the EUFA, and the last one was to win the Champions League. By now, he has already achieved all of his goals, and still stands high as a great football player.

Although the ad is to motivate sport players, it can also be a motivator for common people, taking every problem they face as an obstacle that can be left behind if you jump with enough strenght. There is nothing a human being cannot do, year by year we are accomplishing things that a decade ago we couldn't imagine. For us, impossible is nothing!

Subject. Audience. Purpose.

What subject is the ad addressing?

Obesity is a way to kill yourself.

Who is the target audience?
Fat people.

What is the intended purpose?
MOVE! DO EXERCISE! GO EAT A SALAD! I DON'T KNOW, DO SOMETHING FOR YOU LIFE!

Is the ad successful in achieving its purpose?
The bombs are butter. You eat butter, you get a heart attack, you explode from the inside. Yes, it does.

This has been one of my favorites. The assaignment should have been a video instead of a picture, because is better explained.

Well, I think that the subject this ad is adressing is personal capacity of keeping on going and that you can get really far on your own. The targeted audience is most likely to be young people, since they have a longer way to travel and more time to decide wether to be normal, or to outstand among all the others.

The purpose of the ad is to make you realize that you must never stop on going, that every step you take forward on a long journey will pay off and the pay will be the achivement you always desired.

I personally think that the ad is successful, because it really shows what the maker wants to tell the people and especially if you see on of the videos. :D
