Learning to Love You More

After exploring the “learning to love you more” site and its various assignments I’ve decided that I really like assignment #27, take a picture of the sun. I particularly liked the picture taken by Federica Bertorelli of Fidenza, Italy. The sky is incredibly blue and it looks like the trees are just starting to get their leaves. The tiny little bits of blue are just really cute to me. I’m a fan of cute things so a cute little tree under a perfect blue sky with such a bright and shinning sun is something I can really get behind. It’s very calming to look at. I’ve seen others of sunsets over a cityscape but those are kind of dramatic to look at. They’re very nice yes, but it’s nice to see something simple and pretty once in a while too. The city is fast paced and large, it’s brimming with life but you can hardly breathe. This little tree in the sun shows life too, fresh life just beginning. This tree will give air, nice clean air. Air is important. I would love to make this picture into a poster, maybe one of those “hang in there” posters.
Another one of the sun pictures I liked was taken by Frances from Newcastle, England.  Again the sky is very blue and the sun is beautiful. In this one though there are fluffy white clouds and who I guess is Frances either blowing bubbles or dancing through the bubbles. I can’t make out the features of this person (it might not even be Frances) but whoever this mysterious person is they look like they’re having fun. Who wouldn’t have fun on a day like that? Look at that sky! That’s the bluest blue to ever blue. Good for you, mysterious person who may or may not be Frances, going outside and taking advantage of such a nice day. I like this picture because it just looks happy. The person is having fun outside with bubbles, how much more happy can you get? It makes me want to go outside and run around. It kind of takes me back to when I was only a little kid without a care in the world, playing outside like nobody’s business. I can remember the days when the sky was like this and I would get my big brother to come play baseball or football or something in the yard. One of us would always end up getting hurt somehow, but before that it was nothing but fun. I wish I could have those times back. Being a kid was so great, no stress and the world still seemed like a good place. To me this photo shows the innocence and boundless joy that comes with being a child.
Now that I look at them together I realize that both these pictures are similar. They both give me a happy feeling inside. I guess I just like things that make me happy, so sue me. The links for the website and the two photo’s is below if you wanted to check them out.

Logo Analysis

This is the logo for Tostitos tortilla chips. It has lots of orange, yellow, and black with that one little touch of red. They didn't just pick these colours for nothing either! They serve a purpose. Black is often associated with tradition or being classic. Orange is a symbol of affordability, fun, and celebration. Yellow symbolizes cheerfulness and amusement. Red is a visual cue for excitement, love and food. Basically this logo is saying that Tostitos chips are the fun tortilla chip. They're perfect for parties and other fun occasions. But you can also trust Tostitos because they are classic. The logo shows us that this chip will turn any event into a fun and exciting time. Also between the second and third 't' you can see two people enjoying a tortilla chip.


This is the Hershey's Kisses logo. As you can see it is mostly brown with some silver and white.  Brown invokes thoughts of nature, simplicity and richness. It is a very warm and romantic colour. Often it is associated with chocolate, which is exactly the product being sold. Silver/white is a symbol of purity, refinement, and innocence. What this logo tells us is that Hershey's Kisses are rich, romantic chocolates that are great for kids and refined adults alike.  Also there is a Hershey Kiss between the 'k' and the 'i'.

Meme Review


This meme is relevant to my life completely. This happens in school when taking a test and it’s one of the most irritating things in the world. There’s this one multiple choice where every single answer is right, but apparently there’s one that’s the right-est.  I have been the victim of this kind of ridiculousness. I can’t remember what class but I do remember that I picked the “wrong” right answer. It was correct, just not correct enough. I don’t see why teachers feel the need to do this or if they even see how silly it is. All the answers are correct but in your mind there’s only one truly correct one? Does this make sense at all? I hope teachers find this meme (and all the other teacher memes) and realise what they’re doing so as to better themselves. Learning isn’t just for the students.
This is another one I love and relate to. When I’m in school it’s absolutely vital to remember the date because if not death. Death is what will happen. If you have that one teacher to whom the date is god and you don’t put the date on the top of your work or tests, well friend I pity you. The date is also important for remembering when things are due. You’ve just got to remember that on Wednesday the fourth and you’re golden. It’s also good for the countdown to the weekend. But during the summer there aren’t many responsibilities. Nothing is going to be due, nobody’s going to give you flack because you didn’t put the date on your work (even if there wasn’t a space for it) and the weekend countdown is void because every day is like a Saturday. If I need to know the date during the summer I need to ask my mom or consult a calendar. After I find out the date I will forget it within ten minutes. It’s kind of awesome that there’s this one time of year where everything is so calm that the date doesn’t matter. It’s almost Zen like. I hope adults specifically find this meme so they know not to ask students what the date is during summer because I guarantee they won’t know. Also I want students to find this meme and know that they aren’t alone. We all experience this.
