Book review

Go Ask Alice, a great book by an unknown author and published by Avon Books. The book is mainly about drug addiction and the horrors it comes with. It is a young girl named Alice's dairy. She begins her diary as a normal young teenage girl but soon goes into a deep drug addiction spiral. It takes place in an unknown college town as well as San Francisco where she moves to with a close friend. The diary gets up close and personal to a drug addict and really gives the reader a good insite on what it is like to fall in to drugs. A very surreal feeling. The book was very exciting and also eye opening. I definatly recommend it to every reader of all ages. Mostly because its very good at raising awarwness of drugs and the dangers that come with them. Two thumbs up a MUST read.

AD Analysis

I chose to analyze brake advertisements one is for Hawk Performance and the other EBC Brakes. Right away I notice that they both use Professional race car drivers to convince readers to buy. Hawk Performance uses Skip Barber and EBC Brakes uses Jeff Jones a professional drift racer. One major difference between the two is EBC Brakes uses sexuality in its ad. I believe it is done to catch the readers attention. They has a half naked female which I'm sure will catch the attention of its male readers. This add is defiantly for male audience. The both give the value of power and strength  which is what one would want for brakes. Both are effective ads.

Success

I broke down the keys to success. Believe to achieve great success one must create goals, good habits, be possitve, and also meditate or visualize. Creating goals is essential because it takes a big dream and cuts it down to smaller steps. A goal is like a stair step. One can't make it to the top of the stair case without taking multiple steps to get there. Habits are what will allow you to reach your goals. For example if you want to be fit you must create a workout habit. You will never be fit by keeping your "sleep all day' habit although that would be nice. Also positivity is the fuel the motivation. If your thinking negative how will you inspire your self to keep going or to work hard? Its simple you can't. Lastly meditation, there are different types of meditation but for this I'm talking more about visualization. One must visualize or see what they want in thier mind. They must know exactly what they want or else how will they get it? The following picture was created by me:)

Live in Beauty

God is great.
Ulimited power to create.
For he has made sky and land.
Mountains tall they stand.
Some with dirt some with sand.

But beauty in everything .
Blue sky tho black at night.
Some see dark, I see light.
Red rincles on the desert snow.

We laugh and we cry.
It rains and it shines.
God is wise.
So pay attention to life.

Social media

My multi-media post is about social media and the effects it has on masses of people. Ever wonder why people especially the younger generations think of fun as partying, drugs, and sex? It's because of the social conditioning people with power have done to us. 1% of people in this counrty earn than 50% of the wealth thats being earned every year. They have control over the news thats being reported, what's on tv, and even the music we listen to. We might find it hard to believe but the music and tv we watch is slowly conditioning us to think the way they want us to think. Why is it that shows like The Jersey Shore are even played on MTV?! I mean last time I checked it stood for music television. Hmmm and I wonder who in thier right mind would watch that? Lesson of the day, think about what you are putting into your brain.
