art

This is my art piece, the pink represents the barbie movie and the magnifying glasses represent the lenses used through out the Barbie movie. The bottom we have a symbol to convey male restrooms, with toxic waste coming out representing toxic masculinity, as well as it shows wing like toxic waste. Which represents the ability to find ones identity and purpose. On the top we have a magnifying glass looking down on symbol of the patriarchy and a group of people talking about societal norm.

I am not going to lie, it was hard trying to make something that convey my thesis statement out of art. This is my final product and hopefully you like it Dr. Russel

Color of crow

To answer your question, the color of a crow is a very dark blue color or even purple. Since then, I have seen some differences on how people view the world and things. Some of these are that when people draw the sun, they mostly draw it orange, but there are some people who draw it yellow or even light brownish. The second one was rain. We live in Seattle and we get rain constantly, but some people see rain as a blessing while others see it as a curse.

Moore Account

After the death of his father and his accepting of his sins, I feel like Mustafa realized he had a responsibility to provide for his family. In chapter 6 Mustafa writes down his selling of himself, telling the reader, “He did not ask me if I knew what life would be like once the ship crossed the river, once it had left Azemmur and traveled along the coast to the Land of the Christians. Instead he asked: Are you sure this is what you want? I looked at my twin brothers. Their hair had started to turn orange and their cheekbones protruded under their frightened eyes. They looked at me uncomprehendingly. Yes, I said. I am sure” (82). Mustafa knew what was going to happen if he followed through with this, and still he went through selling his body. Before Mustafa even said yes, he looked at his twin brothers and saw what they were going through. Describing their malnourishment as something he must cure and something he must take away so that his brothers can live a life. Additionally, this shows how serious this is, because the slave buyer asked Mustafa if he wanted to follow through, and did not instantly buy him. For a person who bought thousands of slaves, to stop and make sure that Mustafa was ok with being bought, shows how important this marking is.

               This website shares my ideas and my feelings towards Portugal really not being acknowledge for their part in slavery. To be honest before this book, I did not know the Portuguese people were part in the slave trade. I do not know why, but to me I just never assumed they would be part of the tragic history of slavery. Now knowing this, i researched about how Portugal talked about slavery, but they really never did. They only recently started to talk about the past because how people are talking about how Portugal should remember their past.

Video games:

First off I am a nerd, to be frank with you. I watch anime and play video games, it’s just that I do not look like one. One of my first ever video games that I like to play was called team fortress 2. To be honest this game was a starter game for most people who play team vs team games. At the time this game had fundamental characteristics you needed for a team vs team game. There is 9 classes with their unique weapons and passives. Scout, solider, pyro, demo-man, engineer, heavy, medic, sniper, and spy. The classes never had a personal name given to them, only a generic name. Some of these classes are simple, such as sniper who had a sniper or pyro who had a flamethrower, but there were also unique classes such as spy and engineer. Spy could turn invisible, turn into other characters on the enemy team to blend in, disrupt engineer gadgets, and he could insta-kill with a back stab. Engineer on the other hand had the ability to create three machines that would support the team: a turret with 3 levels of upgrading, a health and ammo replenisher and a teleporter. To me spies and engineer were revolutionary in the game since they had unique abilities and play styles. Addionatlley, team fortress 2 had multiple game modes and even custom game modes. The most common mode played is capture the briefcase (capture the flag), push the cart, capture the point, and robots vs human. The first three are simple but robot’s vs humans is something much different. In that game mode you and three other players try to defend against waves of robots who are trying to destroy your base. Robots in this mode could be simple, they could be robot versions of the classes such as scout or spy, but then there were custom robots. Some of these are a underwater mind with legs, a big tank carrying a nuke, flying robot heads, and giant versions of the classes as robots. I loved this game so much; it was something that I wished every gamer could experience once. To me it was like the founding father of Team vs Team games, since every game after this was based on the classes in team fortress 2. Mostly focusing on the idea of having a person who can create robots, a medic person with a healing stream and a scout who can run fast. To be honest though I was trash, and I cried a lot of cause of that game. People in games were always mean and tended to bully those who were called squeakers. Squeakers were people who haven’t hit puberty yet and had a very high voice. Even though there were mean people on the game, the community of team fortress 2 was nice. People there explained how to play the game, how to abuse game mechanics, and just win. The fondest memory I have of this game was in a special game mode called zombies which is only open for Halloween, but there is also a customed game mode as well. I remember the people in the game cracking jokes and laughing our asses off while we were being chased by zombies. Saying stuff like you got to be quicker than that, or why would you do this to me fatherrr, even though it was probably a 16 year old telling that to a 13 year old. I love the game and the community it truly is the founding father of team vs team games.

Anime:

The History of Anime: The Beginnings - Learn more at Japan Centric

Anime in its simplest definition is a Japanese cartoon which is hand drawn. Anime has been around for longer then most people believe it to be. The first popular anime that was created was Astro boy in the 1960s but were some Anime’s even before that time. Earliest anime ever recorded was a 50-frame roll of film that was named Katsudō Shashin. This anime is about 10 seconds long and it shows a Japanese boy writing kanji on a bored and tipping this hat to the point of view. Its interesting to think about how anime has gone from a 10 second film to now a modern age, where Anime movies are being made almost every 4 months. The comparison of anime movies and Katsudo Shashin just shows the differences in the skills of animating and of course the technological advance. Just like any other genre of things, there is a top three in anime. These three were given the name Big Three for their popularity around the world and the amount of profit they gained. Big three also known as some of the best Animes are One piece, Naruto, and Bleach. I personally have watched all three of these Anime’s and read the manga of bleach. One piece is the anime that is still going on to this date, being THE longest running anime in history. Naruto is a anime that almost most people start with and bleach is nothing too special. Currently, Bleach has been catching popularity recently because of a ark. Arks are like the season in Anime, each Ark focuses on a certain problem in the story and it shows character on character development. Bleach is in a thousand year blood war, which is ark that is seen to be one of the best ones in bleach. Besides the Big Three there are thousands of other Anime in the world. Each one with different genre and plot. There are some Anime’s with unique plots where the main character is a freaking vending machine, or other Anime’s where they focus on suicide and focus on the trauma to create weapons to protect others.

Fishing:

Fishing to me is where I connect with nature. I mostly fish for salmon specifically sockeye salmon, but I sometimes catch flounders and halibut. There are about three types of ways that I use for catching salmon. One of these ways is by casting at shore with a jig. Jig is a type of lure where you put bait, this case a herring, on a line and drag it in the water. This for me is my most trusted way in catching salmon. My Jig consist of cutting the heads off the herring and connected it to a plastic holder which allows the herring to circle around in the water. This circular motion attracts salmon nearby because the herring sliver scales shine in the water allowing salmon to see the sliver shine. Connected to the plastic holder, I have about eight inches of extra line with two hooks at the end. Salmon love herring, which is why most people use herring as bait, but there are two other ways to catch salmon. The other way is called fly fishing, this is usually used near the shore or in a river. Fly fishers tend to be lures that some way mimic a smaller fish or bugs. These lures can be composed of metal, plastic, string, bright colors and of course a hook at the very end. I personally do not like using these types of lures because I have bad luck with them. Lastly, the last way of fishing for salmon only works if you have some sort of boat. This type of fishing is called Trolling and one of my least favorited ways of fishing for salmon. In this case of fishing, you basically throw a jig into the water and then slowly move your boat forward. This to me is just a lazy way of fishing because you get no action of casting. Even though I do not like this type of fish, trolling is the easiest way of catching salmon since all you do is throw a lure and let it move. In Washington state laws you are only allowed to catch two salmon per day and must mark it down on a paper. This stops over fishing and allows the scientist to keep track of the salmon population

Crabs

Crabbing is a family tradition that I do at least two times a year. Recently I have not done crabbing because of the population. The two types of carbs that I tend to catch were Dungeness and red rock crabs. To me these are the best crabs to eat in Washington, Dungeness crabs have a sweet kind of meat while rock crabs have a thick meaty claw. There are two most common legal ways to catch these crabs either by hand or with a pot. Catching crabs by hand is most uncommonly used because the meaty crabs live deep in the water, but at low tide you can sometimes catch a legal-size rock crab. Pots or crates as some people call them, are traps that you throw into the water with a buoy attached to them. These pots are a iron cage with four one way in opening. Sometimes the entrances are doors and other times the entrance is at a angle so that you can get out. In the middle of these pots is the bait, which attracts the carb to go inside. Since these are crabs, the bait as I have seen can potentially consist of cat food, dog food, fish, pork, and my favorite other crabs which are rotten. After about an hour or two has gone by, you would start to pull up your pots. My favorite part of this is opening the cage and trying to grab the crabs out to measure them. The legal size in Washinton is 6.5 inches, but this is hard to measure when the crabs are trying to pinch you. Technique is everything and the technique to hold crabs is by holding it from behind. You must make sure you have a firm grasp on the crab because they will try to get out of your hold.

Clams

Razor clams are unique looking clams, but very tasty one. Buried deep in the sands of beaches, razor clams stay deep there until the ocean comes back. Once the ocean comes back after low tide, they peak their heads out of the sand to feed on the microorganisms in the water. To capture or gather these clams you must first wat for low tide and buy either a shovel or a clam gun. Clam guns are fire hydrant shape tools that you push into the sand and then cover a hole to create suction. To identify where the clams are you look in the sand and see if there is a small meteor crater. If you do see one, right below it in the sand is where the clam sits and waits. Razor clams can sense danger through vibrations in the sand so once you start digging you must keep going. Sometimes you must dig with your hands in the sand, but you much face your head toward the ocean while digging with your hands. If by any chance you dig any other way, you risk cutting your hand on the shell of the razor clams. That is why they got the name razor clams because the ends of the shell are like razor blades. The limit for Razor clams is 15 for each person for that day, but it is unlikely that you will go again for another limit.

Filipino culture:

Everywhere in the world you will find culture. You can go to all the countries in the world or the different communities in that country and you would still find some sort of culture. For me, I am Filipino and Japanese, but I know and celebrate more my Filipino culture. First off just like every culture Filipino culture is family based but family is term is given to everyone. For instance, let’s say I meet a friends family, instead of calling them Mr. or Mrs. I must call them either Tita/auntie or Tito/uncle. Even friends who are also close would be considered family by default. The term family is thrown so much that sometimes you do not even know who is related by food or by a relationship. To us though that is not a negative thing or idea, family is very important to us and will always have the backs of your family members regardless of bonded by blood or loyalty. Another majorly made about Filipino culture is that we love to party. I will not like parties can got anywhere between 7-12 hours which in retrospect is only half a day but trust me it is exhausting. These parties can be anything and I mean anything to a truing of sixteen (like a quinceañera), engagement, any major sport, church, birthday, wedding you get the idea of course. One personal thing that all kids at a party can understand is wanting to go home and parents say in a minute. I don’t know how this came up but it is just in the culture when your family or someone says we are leaving in a minute, that really mean 3 or 4 hours. You can ask any Filipino if this is true and they will agree with me. Food is also a main part of how we represent our culture. Since the Philippines has been invaded many times from different countries cultures are mixed into the Filipino culture. Even so we still have iconic foods, which to me are Chicken adobo, Pancite, lumpia, leche flan, and of course Halo Halo. I will only explain three of the five given because I believe you should experience the food to understand it. Lets start with Chicken adobo, this is a simple dish which the main part is of course chicken. Basic but most important ingredients is soy sauce, bay leaf and whole peppercorn balls. You basically just boil it with some other ingredients, which depends on which part of the Philippines you are at. To me this is the staple of Filipino culture regarding food because of how known and easy it is to make. The second food, leche flan, is a very soft dessert which is made up of sugar, egg yolk, evaporated milk and condensed milk. If you ever had a poached egg the softness and delicateness of the egg is like leche flan. But the sweetness you receive from each bite is something you just must taste. Lastly, there is Halo Halo. Halo Halo is a dessert that comes with beans, crushed ice, evaporated milk, taro/ube ice cream, sometimes leche flan, strips of coconut and jellies. All of this would then be mixed into one ice like smoothie. To me this is the best thing to have on a hot day in the summer because its like a popsicle but 20 times better but also 20 times as much sugar.

Japanese culture:

Japanese culture for me is something I do not know as well as my Filipino side, but I know that the culture comes from hunting and gathering. I am the only kid from the Japanese side of the family who knows the age-old secret of my family hunting and gathering. I have said this previously that I have been taught how to fish, how to get clam and crabs, but I was also taught how to hunt for mushrooms. This is a tradition that I have recently been taught. You need specific conditions for mushrooms to bloom and more importantly for it to be safe to gather. Washington is the best place for mushroom picking and my family realized this when they first moved here. Each family member has a certain place to find mushrooms, personally I have not found my own, so I must use my uncle’s place. The mushrooms that we pick is oyster, lobster and Matsutake. Oyster and matsutake mushrooms look very similar to mushrooms that will cause irritation or death, so my uncle has taught me to distinguish them. It’s been a pain because mushroom picking process sucks if it is not a warm day. That’s why I said earlier that Washington is good conditions for mushroom growing because it is, but you would still like to have a nice day for mushroom picking. One where you don’t bombard by hail or rain and not thrown off a Hill.

research gate way

The topic that i wat to research is how do the influence of social media affect the way Muslims and Westerns see each other. Surprising there is some similiters in the views of each other. For one thing each side sees each other in a negative way. The most common being that each side sees each other as violent and arrogant groups of people. Interestingly they also have similar views on what the other side has for "positives." Muslims from different regions stated that they see westerns as people who our honest and very respectful towards women. While westerns see Muslims as very devoted people and honest. To me this is interesting cause already it shows that even though each side does not like each other(opinionated phrased) there are some similarities that each one has. In the video Anthony Cohort, talks about the findings of surveys on each other. Mr. Cohort states that Muslims sees westerners as the problems. They see westerns as the negative stereotype westerns. While Westerns sees Muslims as the negative stereotype. This proves the fact that though each side dislikes each other, they have similaties in the way the dislike each side. I want to research more on the topic but this is just the beginning of the topic.

expressing myself

I do not tend to express my frustration about things unless it is a lot of frustration. For me it was studying for the biology mid term exam which got me frustrated. I needed to study so much information and on top of the studying i still had a lot of homework being given to me. For me i get my frustration out in two ways, either creating something very delicate such as a Gundam or I workout to the point of not wanting to shower and just sleep. I forgot what day it was last week but I was studying so much for Biology I was like man screw this i need a break. At this point i was maybe 6 hours in of studying so you can understand why I was done with studying. Luckily, I have a small gym in my garage, so i was like time to work out. I spent maybe 3 hours down there doing anything i could, benching, weighted pushup, practicing's punches on a boxing bag and skull crushers(it does not mean that). After that workout I was so tried but always relived. I do not know how to explain it but I felt so refreshed. It is times like this where I am happy I have a small gym at home and that I have a passion towards working out.

Having fun

What i did to have fun most recently was to go out and go bowling. You may not not but I am pretty good at bowling to the point i could join a team. I was averaging 100 points every turn, which i think is pretty good. To be honest the fun came fun the people I was with and not the actual action. For me, the most fun comes from the people I am surrounded by. The friends I was with that night, I have been friends with them since kindergarten. They were better though at bowling, well only 2 of them where. I was taught how to curve a bowling ball, even though I only got a strike once when curving. I needed it this to be honest cause last week I was stressed out of my mind doing homework for chemistry and biology.

Sources

TikTok is an app made for fun video, but in reality, it is a information hub for anything. I have found some primary resources on this idea, one of these being an interview between Shou Zi Chew (the Ceo of TikTok) and David Rubenstein. In this interview, Shou talks about how TikTok has everything on it, but there is some content that is banned due to guidelines implemented. These of course being anything that is pornographic, violent, or fake news. Over all though he hammers the point that TIkTok is a place for everyone and a place where you can post content on anything you want. Some of these that he stated where books, live streams, golfing, dancing, and of course places to eat.

That one source previously stated are the only sources that I could find that is a primary source. Every other information about TikTok is a secondary source. The secondary sources that I could find talked about how that TikTok is a place of security risk and how TikTok has tons of false or mis information. This information is usually seen as false information about Covid-19 or a major catastrophes that is happening such as the war on Ukraine.

New study reveals TikTok’s spread of COVID-19 misinformation (illinois.edu)

Worries Grow That TikTok Is New Home for Manipulated Video and Photos - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

Lastly these are my tertiary sources which are comprised of websites that i have even heard of, but do make a fair point. In the website called Ed surge, the website talks about how TikTok mis information is mostly seen by teens which influence them believing in false information. The algorithm is partially to blame for this, but it is mostly to blame for users who post content with false information. The other website talks about how we can avoid false information content by seeing who is posting it, how we react to it, and if any other information matches with the information you just seen.

Five sources

TikTok is something that has sweep the nation by surprise, possibly being the closest thing to modern day vine. This app is one that I do not use but is something that I find very interesting. While searching I found five sources that help better give knowledge to this app. These five sources being “Snapchat and TikTok Take Top Spots as Gen Z's Favorite Social Apps,” “The David Rubenstein show. How you can make a living on TikTok,” “Social media's role in times of war,” “The David Rubenstein show. Going public is not a priority for TikTok now, CEO says” and “The David Rubenstein Show. TikTok CEO Shouzi Chew.” The first one talks about how TikTok is the 2nd most popular app, and that Gen Z is seen in fewer apps but has a lot of time spent in those apps. The second source simply talks about how creators on the app more are influence their shops or business on the app which helps them grow in terms of money. The third one is talking about how a “Chinese app” is spreading fake news about important topics to spread chaos. The fourth one talks about whether TikTok will become a public company, meaning that it will be part of the stock market. Lastly, the final source that I found was a 24 min interview that talked about what TikTok is and how it functions. It had simple questions that anyone would ask, and those questions are then answered by the ceo of TikTok.

Aladdin folk tale vs Movie

when I was first going into the folk tale I knew that all folk tale is much different then the movie. Usually being more darker and having some aspect of the originally folk tale being removed entirely so the movie can be more captivating or interesting. Even with this in mind, when i was reading this book, I sometimes reacted with " i don't think that was in the movie", "why they change that" or even " what was the point of doing that?" The first thing that threw me off was the ring genie in the folk tale. To me, I was wondering why the movie would completely remove the ring genie! The ring genie plays a huge part in the folk lore, that being saving Aladdin's life when piled under dirt, helping "defeat" the magician, and just being the first genie in the story. I can understand why they changed the personality of the genies to be quirky, joking, and informative. Audiences need that change in personality to stay captivated, but for me personally I still want to see the ring genie in general. He could be the counter to the lamp genie in the movie! Ring genie being more like a slave, robot. evilish and the lamp just like the movie being more positive out going and loveable. Additionally, I feel like not including the ring genie and changing of personality of these genies is culture changing. In Islamic culture, genies are said to be creatures who are mischievous and malevolent. It feels like the west completely changes the ideas of what a genie is and how the perspective of how they act are. In the folk lore almost all the time the genies are originally feared and do whatever their master wants regardless of what it is, while in the movie the main Genie is more welcoming and talks about morals or love. That is what my thoughts are on this changing of genies. I would also like to add, the way Jasmine and Aladdin get together is much much different then the movie. Falling in love in a cute but unlikely way in the movie sure, but in the folk lore being married to the richest vizier or who gives the best gift sucks. I liked how in the movie they gave way more character to Jasmine and who she is as a person and instead of just a princess of the empire. Also, how in the movie it showed the slow but yet profound love Aladdin and Jasmine had for each other. Showing the love in multiple ways in the movie, but barley having anything to show passionate love in the book.

About a friend

I met my a brother named Anush. Anush is what you would think would be a normal college kid, with his cargo pants and converse, but in reality he is something much more. Just like Peter Parker, Anush has a secret identity, as you will. As, Peter Parker is spiderman, Anush is cameraman! It may sound like a off brand superhero, but in reality he is not a hero or a villain. Anush is a spectator or as you will a witnesser of greatness; capturing spectacular moments with his camera. The pictures Anush takes are not just pictures but are reembraces of the emotion, the greatness, the one of one chances, and the craziness that each person has in there lives. Anush is more then a brother or a friend, he is the one who sees a spectacular moments and decide to capture them for eternity. Just like Peter Parker who works at the daily Bugle, Anush works for a Dim Sum house. A true man of two lives, one who is a normal person and the other a seer of all that is living. Tasked with the responsibility to take pictures of life making moment and of times where someone would have to say " you had to be there". Anush is a wonderful caring person, who I was lucky enough to meet at the ice breakers of dooooom. To be honest I hate how ice breakers are awkward but I was blessed enough to meet this individual. Hopefully he can get his handy camera and take some picture's of me, because I know when he takes a picture its going to be aesthetic and of a life defying moment.

Introduction Blog

Hi my name is Christopher Saito, you can call me Chris or Saito. People only call me by my last name because there was 2 other Chris's at my school.

One of my favorite things is an anime called bleach. Anime is a Japanese cartoon that is created through drawing. In a sense a stop motion picture's but with drawings. I love this because beside showing a plot of a story, it also shows the creativeness and the articulate skill the publishers have.

Personally, I can say confidently that I can semi write well. IF we are looking at a scale form 1-10, I would say that i am a solid 6 or 6.5. I know I can be better at writing, but there will be sometime where i surprise myself about my writing. Although, I would not say that I am the best at creating papers constantly that would consist of skills deemed as "college level" writing. Example of this would be having a back to back paper that is about 4-8 pages long. The work i would submit would either deteriorate in quality or just flat out be trash.

English is technically not my first language, but i totally forgot how to speak Tagalog. So no point, but its a neat fact to know of me.

I am pretty comfortable with technology for the most part. Sometimes there is a point where I cant tell if it is the computers fault or user error. That happens very rarely though.

I personally would prefer word, to be my word processor. I just like it, similarity how people like IOS over Android.

There is noting else that I would like for you to know, beside the point that my first impressions of you is that you are very kind welcoming, and overall a good person. I ca not wait to have you as my teacher!
