My Butterfly

I couldn't get some of the pictures onto my thinglink but if you go on the links you can see the image I described.

The Hurricane

          One thing I regret is not getting on the big waterside at Key Lime Cove. This is probably a very cliche regret, because every kid regrets it when they feel like there missing out. It was about two years ago, and at Key Lime they have a slide called the hurricane. It's basically a tunnel that leads into a bowl thing that goes into another tunnel and you end up in the lazy river. I was terrified of it, i never wanted to go on it. I regret not going on it the first day because we were only there for two days, I only had a couple of hours to ride it, instead of two days. The only reason that I regret this is because I let my fear get the best of me when I could have been having loads of fun, and because everyone called me a scary cat for like a couple of months after that.

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."

          If I had a day to hang out with somebody famous I think that I wold choose Maya Angelou because  she had so many great accomplishments. She didn't let anything hold her back, she was part of the civil rights movement and she continued on and became a famous poet and author. I think that she would be able to show me a different perspective on my life and others lives and just life in general. She seems like the kind of person who could say one sentence to you and it would change the world forever. If we ever did hang out I would ask her where she got her inspiration for some of her poems from, and I would ask her if there were a lot of people who tried to knock her down as she tried to reach her dreams, and I would ask her hoe she dealt with them.

Propaganda from the Holocaust

          What is propaganda?
Propaganda is the idea of spreading information in a misleading or controversial items(images, quotes, Ideas, speeches).

          The piece of propaganda that I chose has a picture of a duck in overalls. The text on the picture translates to, " Shame on you chatterer! The enemy is listening. Silence is your duty." This piece of propaganda means that the government was telling the citizens that they had to be quiet for fear that their enemy is listening. I think that this piece of propaganda was aimed towards everybody, and that it was effective for them. Looking at it today, without the knowledge of how everyone felt during this time, i think that it isn't a really effective piece of propaganda but because of the circumstances and how no body wanted to go against the government, and because  a lot of them grew up with the Nazi ways, it was most likely a powerful piece of propaganda back then. This piece of propaganda was most likely created to get the citizens afraid of speaking to much, they don't want to risk betraying their government because "the enemy is listening", so they stay quiet.
