Unity, Connected together around the world

The rather funny video titled, 'Where the hell is Matt' as I believe holds a stronger message than what some may seem it looks like. Matt Hardings video is filmed throughout many places where he dances, sometimes with the local people of the country. The video shows unity between the many countries around the globe. Although one another may seem different, they all have their similarities, and this connects us to one another. Matt harding mentions on his essay how it was a privilege to see the people around the world, to visit places he has never been to.

"Here's what I can report back: People want to feel connected to each other. They want to be heard and seen, and they're curious to hear and see others from places far away."

Matt harding clearly shows this with the many smiles of the people in the many different countries. He states that when he danced with the tens to hundreds of people, although they would be known different, their laughing, smiling and their ridiculous acts blurs out the fact, making each other closer, and more connected to each other. I believe that Matt harding created this video to help generate unity with people around the globe. Just like the quote above, people want to feel connected to each other, and Matt made this happen.

A quote by martin luther king, "We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now." Shows that no matter how different we may be, or have started off being, we all have similarities within us

Who I Am

-This is who I am

I am the last day of school
Energetic and zestful
Impulsive and full of laughter
I bring the promise of an unforgettable summer.

I am the fox,
Watchful and sly
Running through the leaf filled forest
Hunting targeted prey, silent and unexpected

I am the sound of a saxophone
the sweeter I get, the more an audience appreciates
Although some may not hear the beauty at first
Once started, impossible to stop
I wrap the audience with my harmonious melody

I am a box of colored markers
Sometimes I blend in, creating new vibrant shades
Sometimes when mixed, the colors muddies the page
However alone, I stand out as the intense primary shade

I am a lion who roars with pride
Pacing through the savannah hunting for prey
I wait and rest for the sun to set
For then will be the time to strike
The time when the shadows of fear appear

The loud blast of music, the dance where all join in
I am your thumping heartbeat, everybody’s scream
I am the rushing excitement, the reason for your jumping
The air which is pushed out as you sing the last song

I am
Me

Exquisite Corpse

I have chosen the image of above titled ‘Exquisite corpse’ because I felt it was abstract, and it represented how there is more than one side to me. The picture doesn’t show just a picture of a solid human, however many parts of a painting stuck together to create a whole new image.

Wishes Hopes and Dreams

As I watched the video of Susan Boyle singing in the Tv show Britain’s got Talent, I was blown away by her amazing performance. When they introduced her, I didn’t think that she had much hope in her. Her looks didn’t seem like someone who would have a very bright future ahead of her, and I feel that the audience and the judges agreed with it too. People in the audience were laughing at her when she said that she wished to be a professional singer and shaking their heads. I could see some people rolling their eyes, but Susan Boyle staying persistent despite what the judges thought or the audience. There were sarcastic whistles, and underestimating looks of the audience. Singing a famous song, the judges and the audience had higher expectations, which Susan Boyle met. Her song choice also talks about dreams which too relates to her dream.

I could straight away tell that I had underestimated her talent just because of how she looked the moment she started. Her amazing voice gave me Goosebumps and a feeling which made me feel disappointed in myself. I was shocked and surprised, and I was wondering how I could simply judge her by how she looked. The facial expressions of the judges and the audience changed greatly, from laughter, to shock. Susan Boyle’s singing voice had such a great impact on everyone after everyone had not expected much from her. I could see that the people of the audience were regretting their choices, and how they thought of her. I myself have judged her wrong. Susan Boyle didn’t come out to the show, because she thought her looks would carry her to the top or because she thought that people would quickly like her, but because she knew that she had talent, talent which she wanted to show to the world.

            The second singer, Paul Potts from the same show Britain’s got talent first came out as someone which again the audience and the judges didn’t expect much from. You wouldn’t think much would come from a phones salesman. But Paul was different. He specifically said before he started that his dream was to spend the rest of his life to do what he feels he was born to do. He didn’t care what others thought; instead he wanted to do what he knew he was good at. Paul wanted to pursue his dream and by going onto the show, he achieved his goal.

 

            I believe this TV show is to emphasize the different types of talents which ordinary people that you see everyday, but underestimate have great talents. Both singers have dreams, which they wish to achieve, and they both succeeded greatly. I consider that society as we know today has made us to believe that people who are not similar, or have the looks of a singer do not have the talent to become a singer. People of today wouldn’t expect someone from a place where some wouldn’t know, or have jobs which don’t help contestants to achieve their goals. A mere television show helps for people who don’t seem to be anyhow special, different, and unique, helping them to achieve certain types of goals.

I chose the image above because i thought it represented achievement. Both contestants because of their dreams achieved  their goal and suceeded. The image shows how when achieving something, it makes you feel great. Paul and Susan's responses of receiving three yeses on the show Britains got Talent shows that they were content with their achievements.
