Road (Blog Assignment #3)

A moment of peace
Jonathan was a normal teenager with a normal life, he lived with his mother, his father and his 2 little sisters at Termonfeckin, an average city; not too big not too small, he attended to school had friends, and was happy. The only bad thing was that he has no familiy beside his own parents and sisters.
One day his parents had to go to a congress to a city like an hour far from Termonfeckin, so Jonathan had to stay home with his sisters, but everything was fine, it was from morning to evening, so they would only stay alone one day. When he woke up at the morning his parents were gone, his mom had left him a note with the things she wanted him to do, prepared food at the freezer, for him only to warm it, and money on the table if he need it. Time passed and everything was fine, the night came and his parents hadn't came back, but Jonatha thought that it was a simple delay, his sisters went to sleep, and so did he.
The next day came and his parents were not at home, so he began to worry about thejm, at noon he recieved a phone call, telling him that his parents had died. He felt the worst sadness that there could be in the world. He felt like everything was falling in him, he has no money, no job, and now he had 2 girls to take care of. Police and government came, they made all the procedures needed for the burial of his parents ans something worst, they toke away his sisters, because they were children and he couldn't take care of them. His parents left him a legacy so he could live.
Days passed and he had lived 3 weeks all by himself, without his parents or sisters, on weekends he visited his sisters, but he was still missing them. At the 4 weekend of his psrents death he felt that he couldn´t resist anymore living in that situation, he felt trapped in that city alone, and even all his friends were supporting him, he felt like he had no one to be with. So he decided just to walk, he walked through Termonfeckin, and out of it, just thinking on how drastically his life had changed. He walk and walk, and then he sat beside a road he had never seen in his life, and he stills there, sitting on that unknown road, just thinking about how his life used to be, how it is now, and what to do with it.

Janette was so scared that she gave everything to the robber including her credit cards and all the things she had bought.

The hardness of words is more powerful than you could ever imagine.

No one is completely thankful of their life and that is the case of an old man that didn't like to have few hair, it seem like if there were only three gray-hair in all his big head, so one day he stop buying his medicines for earning that money and buy something to hide his sadness. After 6 weeks of earnung money he decided to go to a store where they sell the most exentric hats, so hi started watching and there he were for hour and hours while suddenly, A tall and rich man entered the store and he seemed to be so powerful and with a great ego, he was wearing gold rings, and a big and expensive coat, but a really strange detail was an old- fashion hat, that seemed akward with the rest of his cloth.

The store keeper offered to take out his coat and his hat, But he answer right back, "Never, this hat is my life!" The old man stared at the hat, and he knew that it has to be him's, No hat in the world had the power of that hat. So after the rich man left the store, the old man follow him and wait for the opportunity of taking the lucky hat away. But suddenly a wind blow the hat from the rich man while a car stood right infront of him and shut him with the gun killing him.

walking (blog assignament #3)


We might walk to follow someone, to follow your shadow, or to share a time with a person.


Once upon a time, in a far away forest existed a little girl, she was 6 years old, while she was playing in forest a mysterios accident happen, no one now exactly what had happened, everyone knowed about this story except for a new family that wasn't absorbed by the general customs around the village. One day one girl around 16 years old, that a was a former of the new family went down to the woods, she was amazed of the beauty of that place, it was amazing, then she realized that there were a little girl, a blonde one, she was playing with some stones, then the big girl told hi, and the little girl smiled like if she was the only one that could noticed her.


They started talking, and the first question was, waht are you doing here? the little gilr answered once in while you need to scape form reality that is what i'm doing, and the old girl was like, this gilr is too mature for her age, where do you live? i live where pieces are broken, in her mind she was thinking this is kind of scary, and then the little girl spoke, do you want to join me?, because the reality is that i am lonly, i dont know what happened to me, i just remeber and old lady pulling me to go with her, she was really amazing she was blonde but her speaking was like of and ancient lady; then the old girl realized that she might be crazy, or that the little gilr, was kidding her, or that she was a real.


All her family started to worried about her, because she was vanished, they never saw her again, they began to asked to the people in the town and they told her, that once a little kid got lost and never returned, because she was mistery, that a the legend of the town, saids that, once in while a person who visisted the woods dissapear, because they need to be guide to another place, because they didnt feat on that place.


Years passed and the girl never appear, when the family went to the woods found a picture of two blonde girls walking, and beside it an scripture We might walk to follow someone, to follow your shadow, or to share a time with a person; then the family realized that the history was true, tehn they saw the old girl and asked about everything just to have company, then she asked to join them, when they joined her they found that there were another place, a place more extrange that we could ever imagine.....

Subject, audience, purpose

I understand with this picture that Media influences a lot with all ages, kids are having addiction in younger ages than they used before. They also have more easily the access. I think it is a good anouncement becuse it gives you several meanings, As all the others it is also a hard image beacuse it is a little kid. But now children are so much in contact with tobacco and alcohol it seems to be normal for them now because it is "legal" its not fair for them to harm their self since young ages.

This is talking about tobacco.
the anouncement tries to make know about the access of it to young ages.
The purpose of this is for us to be aware of youngers and to stop making so much publicity to bad things.
I think this would really work for active smokers with kids.

I think this image has to do a lot with the teenagers in these times. Most of them think that doing something would not have a big consecuences.

In this picutre is shown two teenagers that both have HIV. it is said that best friends share everything and here they are sharing thir HIV because for having fun one night one of them have sex with her friends boyfriend. her friend had HIV and passed it to her boyfriend, that night when her boyfriend cheeted her with her best friend she transmitted it to her.

This shows that you have to be very careful with the person with whom you have sex and also and very important to take care of yourself, use protection.

subject. audience. purpose


I think this ad is very strong and impressive, because of the implicity of the image and the sloggan. But this is good because that's how people understand how serious and dangerous drugs are. The ad is refering to the diseases that drugs carry with them, and what happen to people that consume them, and even it don't happen the first time you use drugs, but the drogadicts think that they can leave it whenever they want to, but when they start to have all the syndroms of the drugs like the bugs under the skin, like the ad say, they try to leave drugs, but they can't, and the only thing that they can do is look for help. I don't think that the ad is refering to specific audience, because drugs are problem of everyone, whoever can fall in drogadiction, so it is to everybody, because everybody needs to know the effects of the use of drugs.

Assignment #1 Feedback...

Hi girls!

Good job. Pending Alba's work, you will all receive full credit. If Alba does not complete her assignment, your group grade will go down a bit. 

Keep it up!

Subject. Audience. Purpouse.


In my opinion this advertisment is adressing about alcohol, telling the parents to start talking to their kids about alcohol. The target audience is for parents. The purpose of this ad is to notice that all the power is on the parents, so they can start talking to their kids about alcohol, because if they do not do it today maybe tomorrow it will be late. For me this ad is succesful.
