WWII Propaganda

What I think the poster, "Keep your 'trap' shut! Don't give the rats any information!" means is that if bystanders during WW2 said anything along the lines of their goverment's war plans they would be hurting their nation. As you can see in the poster there is a mouse trap and a piece of newspaper caught in it. They usually referred the enemies as rats. The newspaper was a part of an article that was about a ship sinking due to being attacked. What the image implies is that if you carelessly talk about your governments war plans you could potentially cause an attack. This tries to scare its citizens by showing that they're the causes of other countries attacking them because they don't keep their "traps" shut. I feel that this propaganda piece is just trying their citizens to fear them and potentially obey their laws.

Lunch with Robin Williams

If I were to have one day with one famous person, I would hang out Robin Williams. You may be asking, but Emily why? Well I've always loved him so much. I literally cried when I found out he past away and I literally just watched all his movies for a good two days. So, if I were to have a day with him I would probably ask him a bunch of questions. First we'd go and have a huge lunch at some fancy restaurant that I probably wouldn't belong in. After lunch I'd probably ask for him to give me a tour of his house o something weird. But I'd definitely ask him questions like:

• Out of all the films you've been in, which one was your favorite?
• What is your favorite Chinese dish?
• Do you have any hidden talents?
• Would you ever go bungee jumping?

And many more. I've always loved him and his work so much. I remember a few weeks after my grandma died I watched one of his movies, "What Dreams May Come" and I cried so hard because I felt like I could relate so much. It was such a phenomenal movie and it helped me get through a lot. And I don't know but it's just something about him that reminds me of my grandpa which makes me love him even more! But I really do love Robin Williams so much and I would hang out with him for a day if I had to choose.

This is the scene that literally made me cry so hard!!

You have to watch the whole movie to understand what's going on

but it was such a nice scene and I cried like a baby :)

Perseverance

One time I had to persevere was when I lost one of my really good friends. At first I was really upset and I didn't know what to do. At first I didn't know how to take it, it was as if I couldn't function without my other half. It hurt me to let go but I knew it was for the best. Throughout this rough time I had to stay strong and push my way through. I didn't let anything get to me and every time I saw that person I made sure to give them space and I thought happy thoughts. After a while I realized it was for the best and now I understand more.

We Accept

In this commercial it shows of many stereotypes of many people. It talks of no matter your religion, culture, sexuality, race, gender we are all equal. It gives the message that even though we're all different, we are all similar at the same time. It's harder for people to develop respect for others when they are against some things they do. This commercial was very inspirational because it shows how we are all people no matter how we choose to live ourselves lives and we should all treat each other with the same respect that we want as well. We should all accept each other and embrace our differences because we are all still a nation together.

Best Advice I've Ever Gotten

The best advice I've ever gotten was, to always keep smiling. My grandpa had told me this the last time I saw him. This past Christmas Eve he had died. I was very upset cause I had a very strong connection with him but I knew that he wouldn't wanted for me to be upset and that it's was better this way. So, when I went to his funeral I smiled and greeted everyone. He taught me to make myself stronger while I felt vulnerable.I tried my hardest to be happy from him that he was now in a better place. Ever since this happened I've tried my hardest to see the positive things in the bad situations.

This is a picture of my grandpa.

He's made me believe that no matter

your situation, there's always something

to smile about.
