Compared to the personal speech assignment, I felt the informative speech, in general, is a more challenging assignment. Since it basically combines a research paper and a speech, it was very time-consuming to finish all the requirement, especially it was in the midterm period. But after all, I found a way to balance the time to finish this assignment and gave a effective speech to the class. And I found myself gradually gain experience and confidence in the speech class. Based on the previous…

In the classroom, you have many things that can help you faster. Such as an instructor/ teacher, other students, and also you can learn from others with the help and different ways of doing and thinking things. Online however, is better to me because you have to force yourself to read, do homework, and make sure you have the right management. Where in school you may not have to work as hard because there are others around and some people like myself can get easily distracted. At home on the…

Home, college town, and memories made are all things I could say to remind myself of the house I used to live in on Perry Street. Here memories were made and things about myself were learned. I used to never be familiar with the town of Albion until I started my time of living here for so long.

Goodfellas is a film that showed the public that art is shown in many ways, and not just a canvas. As a child, I spent most my time with my brother. Spending most time with him, I was able to be shown a whole new world of art. Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas was a huge part in my childhood and would go on to change the way I saw art in the future. However, Goodfellas is not your common children's movie; but it was perfect for me. It is a film of many categories including; violence, crime, gangster,…

Good Fellas is a highly sophisticated film, which revolves around the lives of mobsters Henry Hill, Tommy DeSimone, and James (Jimmy) Conway, the film shows the situations and progressions the gang has encountered while growing up in the mean streets of Manhattan. The elegance of this film came from the quality dynamics provided by the director, cinematographer and editor also including the highly complex personality of Tommy’s character. With the team’s accomplishments, the film crew portrayed…

Him, Tommy, and Frankie Carbone are sitting at a table eating and listening to a live performer sing. The director uses a panoramic shot in this scene and goes from one side of the table to the other showing each mobsters face. When the camera reaches Henry it stops and he is blinking and while each person seemed to be concentrated on the performer Henry was again different from the crowd as he was submerged in his thoughts. Also in the background music the performer was singing a [4]song by…

Voter ID laws would cut down on the amount of people voting twice and/or using deceased Californian’s identities to cast a vote. In 2005, a commission led by former president Jimmy Carter came to the conclusion that states should implement a photo-identification requirement as a prerequisite for voting.
