Blown Away

Blown Away, written by Carrie a country singer, was interpreted in ASL (American Sign Language) by Rosa Lee, a deaf woman.

The message conveyed in the video that she didn't want to dig into her past.  All she wanted to do was wiping out her past, period.

There was a storm in Oklahoma.  The girl lived in a house with her mean alcoholic father while her mother was buried in the grave.  She prayed that the storm would destroy her house because she wanted to clean her past.  It was not enough wind and rain to ravage her past.  She heard the sires coming to her house and she left drunk father sleeping on the chair to hide herself in the cellar.  It was a sweet revenge for leaving her father alone in a room. She wanted a wind to destroy everything in the house.

We know this because the girl obviously suffered and hated past-everything in the house.  The wind represented as a 'eraser of the past' that the girl wanted to purify her past, which might be not pleasure to remember it, and move on to a life without looking back at her past.  Also, the house was probably symbolized as 'past or memories' because of the line---To rip the nails out of the past---in 'Blown Away' that was the girl's desire to wipe out her memories.  There was no regret for her to do that.  She had no love or affection from her alcoholic father since maybe her mother's death?  It sounded like she lived in wrong place and wrong parent who did not nurture her with some love since her mother's death.  It was too depressing for her to live in the same house with her alcoholic father.  She could step out and wanted to do what did she want to instead of holding her desire back.

Take this message to heart because some kids live with ignorant parents or guardians who did not provide with nourishment.  There is no point for kids to smile by remembering their pasts.  Pasts could make some kids feel pain.  Escaping from the pasts without any hesitations is their desires.

Stutter

Stutter by Maroon 5, an American pop rock band, is interpreted in ASL by the certified interpreter, Kelly MGreer.

The message in this song is that the woman obsesses with the man whom she falls in love with him and she makes many expectations for being together with him.  Apart from the female's expectation, the man does not love her.  She stutters him.

The woman sees the man with first sight and tells him that other man sucks.  She exaggerates that he is the one for her, which she would dream of being together with him eternally.  She begs him until the man gives up to have an affair with her.  The man leaves her alone on the bed after the affair that breaks her heart.  She keeps telling him about her dream of being together with him.  She asks him if he feels that way, too.  The man disagrees, but the woman still woos him.  In the end, the man tells her no and walks away from her.

Based on Kelly MGreer's interpretation by using her expression of ASL on two opposite-gendered characters, the woman sensually flirts with the man, but the man has no interests in her.  The woman wants his attention by convincing him that they would be together forever.  In the end, Kelly MGreer shows her role of the man with 'exaggerating frustrated' expression by saying no and walking away from the woman with a huge obsession of him.  They already have a one night stand, though the man does not open his heart to the woman.  It is just a sex to the man, but the woman wants a love instead.  They're on different pages.  After all, they are not compatibility, no chemistry around them for continuing to love each other. 

The message in this song is important that some people fall in love with others at first sights, but the others don't feel the same way as them.  They don't give up no matter what kind of reply they receive from the others.  That's obsession of love.  

Deadly Attraction

A female robot with black eyes and gray colored skin comes out of the metal box, and then she turns to right to watch the TV.  She curiously watches the TV, hovering closer to her, that displays an image of a gray skinned woman with bold eyebrows, red lipstick, and pink blushes.  She put make up on her face as she copies what did the image of woman has.  She is satisfied when she smiles.  The TV moves back upward as it shows another more images of the girl with extra beauty.  She continues to copy, though in the end, she struggles to reach because she has a limit of move in her metal box.  She is stubborn.  Unfortunately, she falls and crashes against the gray floor.  The viewer's eyes focused on the close up of the female robot that her face misses its side and she still opens her eye.  It is complete crack. 

This point of this video is that we might not realize that we actually shape our senses of fashion, beauty, politic opinion and others by seeing the televisions.

 We know this because media shapes us.  As the result of destroying her self, the female robot accelerates by adding more make up and new features such as applying actual eyes when she sees the image of a beautiful girl in the television.  She cannot stop herself from desiring more beauty because the TV shows more new images of the girl.  It lures her to pay attention to a beauty which turns out to be a deadly attraction.  It shows us that it can be dangerous.

Viewers should pay attention to this message because we might be like a robot in this video who turns her curiosity to a monster attraction when we would not feel satisfied yet.  Media could hurt us in many ways, depending on what we want to change.  Be aware of the media.

Backups

In the first top strip, the group stand in the front of a boss who holds a whip.  Secondly, the boss whips it toward the group as he shouts at them.  The group bows to him except one person in the group.  Thirdly, the boss continues to whip, but more people stand up for the person who doesn't bow in the first place.  Lastly, everyone are no longer bowing to the boss as they are defeating him.  The boss has no power.

The message conveys in this comic strip that the group acts as one that shows more power than the boss.

The group stands up what they believe in.  They don't want to be slaves for this boss.  If people in the group would not stand up for one person, then the boss whip him cruelly.  The group fuses their power as one to stomp on this person to confirm their view of justice.  In the last strip, the boss surrounds himself to the powerful group.  It requires more support from people (they have same perspectives).

Take this message to heart because the current society changed that based on the history when many people protested against the racism, discrimination, and others injustices.  It influences on the society that would improve better.  For example, back in the 19th century, women protested and challenged the law that denied their rights to vote.  Their rights were not equal to men's, so they took action.  We can think about the past what subjects groups protest against that influence the society.

The Wandering Identify

The image in a white background displays a clean black inky doodle of the man that produce many heads, coming out of his head that apart in two.  This man has a buzzed haircut, short ear, his lopsided eyes, wrinkles below his nose, and dry lips.  His face is fairly chubby.  His head that apart in two grows more new heads in variety of sizes.  One of heads on the top wears glasses.  This man looks unhappy as same as his heads, too.

This message conveyed in this image that heads represents as identifies who he is.  This man is not satisfied with himself because every time he replaces his old self with a new self that still not represent him.

I say this because this image displays signs of the man producing many new selves.  He can create many selves as much as he can, but there is a possible self that he will feel comfortably embrace it.  Every selves he is not satisfied with is replacing with new ones.  The almost full-grown heads are probably almost satisfied the man‘s expectation, but they are missing something what the man might lack of.  He continues to replace his selves that shows signs of searching who he is.

   
Despite many selves we are probably not satisfied with, we create ours and search for our comfortable identifies in our deep inside somewhere.  Searching for our selves can be painful because we will approach negative results how our selves take action.  We might be not happy with our selves whom we create because they do not represent us enough.

Flirty Internet?

     The message conveys in this image that the girl falls in love with her laptop as if she cannot survive without it.  That’s what Internet seduces her first.

     The idea that we use Internet what the society use today is significant because some of us addict to the Internet, depending on how many hours.  Some of us can’t take our hands off the mouse that is sign of addicting or loving it too much.  The websites we surf could be Facebook, Tumblr, Instragam, and others.  They really grab our eyes to ogle at the Internet all day when we became part of it.

     It is a small doodle in black ink on the white paper.  A girl with long curly hair sits in front of the desk along with a laptop.  Her right hand is already on the mouse.  She stares at the laptop.  The quote splits in each three words that arch top and bottom of the girl, “Can you feel the love tonight?”  This quote that surrounds the girl surfing through the laptop resembles a eye.

     We know this because this quote emphasizes on the action of the girl.  She embraces the laptop by clicking the mouse and looking at it when she surfs through the Internet.  The quote "Can you feel the love tonight?" whispers around her seductively that Internet drags her to use it to death.  She completely falls in love with it as if the Internet means to her a lot.  Also, the whole image resemble an eye because the Internet draws a serious attention from the girl.  This image suggested that this girl addicts to the Internet.


     

Three Circles

As you can see three big black circles overlapping, the three main subjects are STUDY, SLEEP, and SOCIAL LIFE.  Each subjects overlap, but their results are different how they balance.  STUDY and SLEEP is that a person would be a nerd because he/she had no a social life that he always studies all time.  STUDY and SOCIAL LIFE is that a person would be a zombie who has a hard time to balance their study and social life.  A zombie might have a good grade, but a zombie lacks of sleep.  SLEEP and SOCIAL LIFE is that a person would be a bum who is likely study poorly.  All he/she only cares is about sleeping, and having fun time with people.  Lastly, all the three subjects are overlapping that would be a Jedi, which is very center on the three overlapping circles.  A Jedi is a master at balancing those that he/she knows their plans what they suppose to.
