How is this song relevant in 2019?
- This song is relevant in 2019 because hatred acts and the issue of racism is still a problem today. Society, as a whole has not overcome this, and it is even becoming worse in such places.

 My understanding of war is that it occurs as product of mankind's imperfections. Mankind has always had and will continue to have the desire of wanting more, that combined with our natural stubbornness, war and arguments are bound to happen. 

Power
Power is an effect of humanity wanting to be in control of everything and everyone around them. Whether it is for good or for bad, most of society wants to be guided and told what to do, and it only takes one person to do so. 

Survival 
It is mankind's natural instinct to survive, and we would do whatever it takes just to continue living. It may result in horrible events to be caused, but it is for the benefit of one's life. It is ambiguous; not black and white. 

Education
Education is necessity for all of society as it helps steer us into a bright future and further develop as humans. If we do not have education, out daily interactions with the world around us would be completely different.

Rebellions
Rebellions stem from the belief that whoever is in charge is doing a horrible job in what they are doing. Throughout history, many societies have rebelled against their incompetent leaders for the better of their society and their well being.]]> 2019-04-03 16:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/348174511 ehernandez112_5 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/348187162 War is Peace
Ignorance is Strength
Freedom is Slavery]]> 2019-04-03 17:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/348187162 ehernandez112_5 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/348189107 What is he saying? Why is the refrain so important?
Throughout his song, Billy Joel states in his refrain, "We didn't start the fire; It was always burning; Since the world's been turning; We didn't start the fire; No we didn't light it; But we tried to fight it" Humanity has always been in constant warfare and chaos since the beginning of time. Also, he mentions and makes allusions to various dates in history where conflict has occurred, showing humanity has never and will never achieve total peace at any given point

He covers mostly every subject; sports, politics, science, entertainment, ]]> 2019-04-03 17:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/348189107 ehernandez112_5 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/350892623 What is the meaning of this song? Why is it Relevant?
The main chorus of this song states, ¨Where is the Love" implying that not everyone is treated right and respectful. Furthermore, the singers appear to give a child's perspective on this look by asking his/her's father and mother. The song, like many, brings up the issue of segregation and racism. Also, this song is still relevant as we, as a society, have still not ended racism and unfair biases. The issue has been present all throughout history and it seems as if it will continue to be as such.

We shouldn't only worry about our race; we should worry about everyone to promote actual equality. 
                                 
We only have one world and we all have to share that.    EQUALITY !!!!!!

War
The battles between animals and humans are seen minimally throughout the book, but it is the cause for the whole plot. The book also contributes because it is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. They were fighting for absolute power and control; everything. (Pigs) Benjamin chose to do nothing about his knowledge of the pig's desire. From the very beginning, we know that freedom is not guaranteed.

Power
With Napoleon's control of the animals, he establishes himself as a dictator figure. He closely resembles the characteristics of Stalin. *Included in War Section

Survival 
The animals overthrew their owner, Mr.Jones in hope of having a better life, just like many societies and countries did during this time period. The animals just want natural rights, and they will do and follow anyone who will give them that. 

Education
The animals become educated after Mr. Jones is kicked out. The animals become literate, but they cannot remember much due to their underdeveloped minds.  The pigs educated themselves by learning how to read and write. They set themselves up for superiority over the animals. The pigs constantly change the commandments to suit their own needs. The pigs then use fear (dogs) in line. They then use violence.

Rebellions
The animals rebel against their original leader, leading to their revolution. This does work out for the best, however, because the animals are still treated poorly underneath new rule.]]> 2019-04-22 17:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/353135872 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/353471205 Three Little Pigs
Hard work and dedication will always be worth it in the end. The last pig spends his time working on his brick house while his brothers take the easy route, which makes them vulnerable to these attacks.
Two of the pigs makes the poorest choices. The third pig shows his cleverness by putting the fire. Cutting corners is just going to come back and end up worse.

Humpty Dumpty
A powerful cannon during the English Civil War, and how devastating civil wars can be. You're fighting your own people, so after this, it's very difficult to put them back together.

Little Red Riding Hood
Taught to girls to protect themselves from the wolf "man." Little Red Riding Hood is a woman escaping from the sexual desires of men. It was the worse to become pregnant during this time out of wedlock. Be aware of sexual desires.

Ring Arose the Roses
We will all eventually fall and die; It's about the Black Death because they brought roses to prevent the odor, and the ashes symbolize the bodies that were burned. It shows signs of the Black Death; Protect the children
 
All relate to Animal Farm
Orwell is advocating for Education. Use your education for the greater good. The necessity to think critically and question & hold accountable. ]]> 2019-04-23 17:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/353471205 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/353483378 2019-04-23 18:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/353483378 ehernandez112_5 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/356472824 Crash Course:

Throughout the song, Michael Jackson repeatedly mentions how the world is always at war, and we have not reached peace. Also, the music video provides recordings of such terrible events which serves as a conduit for emotion. Furthermore, this song is still relevant in 2019 because we need safety and peace. Also, the actions within the video show that people need to unite to have a peaceful world. ]]> 2019-05-09 17:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/358603185 ehernandez112_5 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/358972757 Her video shows how life in a refugee is and what are the benefits/negatives of it. Her family are one of many families and with that, the camp is huge. They have no luxuries, but they have safety. However, she reflects on how she regrets things in her past life, such as dropping out of school as this limits of what she can do. The war has changed her thinking by wanting more and the benefits from it.]]> 2019-05-10 17:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/358972757 ehernandez112_5 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/363032978 This song's purpose is to help others open their eyes to the world's hidden cruelty. Throughout the video, many images of war and revolutionaries are shown, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and JFK. This song is still relevant as the world is still not perfect, but we can change the world by first changing ourselves.

She tells of the tragic night when she was coming back home, in Syria, and her friends, that she was walking with, were caught between crossfire and were killed. She describes her environment as loud and filled with wartime attributes. However, she moves to Jordan, but upon arrival, she was separated from her family. She then tell of how she was molested and raped from a police officer who was supposed to protect her. Overall, her story gives others a chance to see how life is like in the eyes of those less fortunate than us. ]]> 2019-05-23 17:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/363033834 ehernandez112_5 https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/364712214 War-
Throughout the duration of this unit, my interpretation of war is more or less the same, but through reading and listening to many works, I became more aware of how cruel war truly is. In the novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, I read first-hand accounts of the new, German perspective of WWII. I saw how many young men were forced to abandon their young, prosperous lives, and how they were thrown into the front lines like nothing. This perspective opened my eyes to how young German males were treated less than what they were. In Night, the victims of WWII, mainly the genocide of Jews, go through cruel treatments for something they could not control and the intensity of war and conflict is felt throughout the novel. Overall, the works we read in this unit helped me understand that war is not the solution but instead the problem that mainly hurts those who never wanted it.

Power-
In this unit, I saw Power mostly used as a negative item as once power was established, those who had power often abused it. In Animal Farm, once the pigs obtained control of the farm, they slowly manipulated the farm to fit their needs and often did not follow the rules and treated the animals crueler than how they previously were. Overall, in this unit, I have learned that when power is given or taken, more often times than not, those in power will become corrupt and will be negative towards others.

Survival-
In this unit, I have read about multiple instances in which characters had to go to desperate attempts to stay alive because we, as humans, will always do whatever it takes to stay alive. In All Quiet on the Western Front, Paul fights a French soldier in hand-to-hand combat, and after he defends himself, Paul reflects on what he did and what meaning that death as behind it. Overall, humanity will do whatever it takes to stay alive, even at the cost of other lives.

Rebellion-
In this unit, I have learned that when rebellions occur, they occur because the people's conditions are terrible and need to be changed. In Persepolis, the Iranian Revolution is described through the eyes of a young girl, and with the accounts given, it was only logical for the people to rebel against their leaders. Ultimately, rebellions are the effect of terrible leadership and not pleasing the people with what they want.

Education-
In this unit, I have learned that education is a necessity for a society to thrive successfully. If people are not educated, they will become susceptible and gullible as they will not have the capability of thinking otherwise. In Animal Farm, the pigs are the most educated, so they become the leaders within their society, and since the others are not educated they listen to the pigs. Due to this, the pigs can easily manipulate them to do whatever they want. Finally, education is a key factor from differentiating successful societies from those who are underdeveloped. ]]> 2019-05-30 17:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ehernandez112_5/4z9f9epgpv3u/wish/364712214
