Best of Week: Born into Brothels

When we finished the week by watching Born into Brothels, different thoughts came into my head. The children living in Brothels were so much different from me. They were different from my friends and families. It made me realize that I was getting all the things that I needed. They did not have enough money to go to school in America while I was able to be educated in America. I felt ashamed of the complaints that I always had because I was not getting the things that I wanted. I never knew or thought about the children living in those kind of areas. I did not know that kids were born in brothels. This movie made me think how unfair societies could be. The kids in the movie were different from us because they came from different society that most of us in our class are not familier with. If only they were born in a better condition than Brothels, some of them might have had achieved thier dreams. Even the parents were not very supporting. In my case, my parents would never even think about making me become a prostitute. However, some parents of the girls wanted their kids to continue on thier jobs. I felt like I had no connection with the kids in the movie and that thought shocked me.

Metacognition: QE Essay

For my QE Essay, I thought about writing from my personal experience. My personal experience that I had made it easier for me to connect to my QE Essay. The QE Essay made me think at a higher level. Before, I did not understand why my mom was spending so much money just on books. However, after writing my QE Essay, it made me realize how the books played a huge role in my mind, it made me thank her.

My thoughts changed throughout the essay. All the creative thoughts come from reading. When I would read a story that draws me in, I used to think that the author was just very good at writing. I was surprised to find out that my mind changed the thoughts that I had. I realize that being creative takes more than just thinking. Reading plays a huge role in creative thinking. It was QE Essay that changed my views toward reading. In order to be creative, people should enjoy reading.

Blogging Around: Dasom and Vanessa

Dasom wrote about how she enjoys doing her mindbook and inside her mindbook, she could enter all her ideas about what she wants to express. The way she described her intention on her each mindbook assignment, I thought it was very unique and creative

Me too. I enjoy doing mindbook. Mindbook is the one place other than my sketchbook. I could write or do anything I want to. I liked how you wrote that in mindbook, you could express all your thoughts. I loved the idea of your first entry. I also agree with that idea that beauty is what is really inside a person, not what is on the surface. To really know a person, you have to know them really well and when you are close to that person, that is the point when you decide if that person is really beautiful or not. From reading your blog post, it feels like your mindbook will be full of your thoughts and very creative! :D

Vanessa described about the roles in society and how every role in society is important in some way. Her blog shows how her thoughts changed about the roles of artists. She mentions that without artists, people will not be able to enjoy the world as it is now.

I agree with your post. I agree that when you name the most importants roles needed in society, artists are not the the first thing that comes up to mind. If I was given the same question, I would have said the same things you thought. I liked how you mentioned that without artists, the walls would be empty and there will be no beauty in the world. Your post changed my mind about artists' roles in society and that their roles are as important.
