Unit Reflection

  This unit is all about music, we listen to music everyday; therefore, music has become part of my daily life. Sometimes a song can describe the mood of person. To many people in many culture, music is an important of their way of life. I have read the article call Same Old Song. In my opinion, this article is about how difference between each decade, and how does that influence generation. Actually this article is kind of hard for me to read it because there are a lot of vocabulary I don't understand. We also mention rap, rapping is a primary ingredient in hip hop and reggae. I just know rap is about speak fast before my teacher talking rap. The work sheet call top 40, and most of top ten song I listened before. My Aha moment was I enjoyed the song presentation because we can share the song with each other. I knew a lot good song after this presentation. There are many types of genre in music, especially  the blues in Chicago is very famous in the world. I would put my genre presentation which is Reggae in bumper sticker. The idea about this chapter is music.

Favorite Song

 I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
Small talk: work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why 
Because the last time you saw me will still 
burn in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride, 
standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom aint nothin' but missin' you, 
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time 

These days I haven't been sleepin'
Stayin' up playin' back myself leavin'
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughin' from the passenger side and
I realized I loved you in the fall
Then the cold came, the dark days 
when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride, 
standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom aint nothin' but missin' you, 
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, 
turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time 

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

This is me swallowing my pride, 
standin' in front of you, sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December
It turns out freedom aint nothin' but missin' you, 
wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it aright
i go back to December turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time 
All the time
    This song is about Taylor Swift wrote a song to apology to Taylor Laughter that was her first time she'd said sorry to someone in a song. When I first time hear this song the rhythm and melody very impressed. I love this song because this song told us lesson.  when you did something, you never got a change back to that time to fix it. Just like the world don't have regret medicine to eat.

Unit Reflection 3

     We have studied something about pop culture and movie, but this charter is more about movie. I just know a few thing about movie before this unit began. My Aha moment was I learned there are eight main categories of film. For example action, adventure, comedy, crime gangster, drama, epics historical, horror and musicals. I also reading the list of therms about movie. movie development refers to the initial stages of working a story idea into a viable script. We were reading why Tyler Perry is money machine and reflection culture in film. We also been thinking what relationship between Oscar and Hollywood, are they going to separate. I would put the movie terms and something about Oscar and Hollywood in my bumper sticker. The idea about this charter is everything about film, how to create a movie. There are several ways how I learned this unit, I read the book and do these assignment. I also think movie review.  We have learned about eight main characteristic of film. Each type has different characteristic. I have to remember these important characteristic and share with my family
