I found this website to be very interesting. These types of questions are very difficult to answer, because it is more of an opinion rather than a definite answer. I actually got a little more insight about video games. When I was a child I have to admit that my mom would not let me play video games that involved dramatic violence. For example guns were prohibited if I wanted to play some sort of video game. As I got older I bought my first game when I was 18 and that included modern warfare two. I am actually proud to say good thing I didn’t play that game when I was younger, because now that I am mature I can view things different, without getting easily affected by violence.

I did not find it difficult to answer the questions that were given to me. My final decision to the image of video gaming was that it was okay to use it as a homepage. According to what I have read, I feel that video games are a new generation form of art. The reason for this is because it takes time to put all the details together and at the end it turns out to be media art. This involves new media technology, including digital art, computer animation, virtual art, computer robotics, and much more. The image that I found offensive was the art piece by Andrea Mantegna's St. Sebastian. This image involved the death of a saint, and to me it was a very strong image that had a lot of negative energy, and it consist strong feelings. For a video game, I don’t think that the art piece by Andrea Mantegna's St. Sebastian can relate to a specific video game, because now a day’s video games have a different perspective. There are the fantasy games, and then there are modern warfare games that may have a little bit more truth to our world. Yes one quote mentioned that the more you play, the more you are programmed to react in a violent game, if in this case violent games are all you play. It makes it easier to make actions like this when you are accustomed to consume violent acts every day. I find this true, because a lot of what we learn is used in practiced in our daily lives.

Arnold's Three Mentors

Mr. P: If it wasn't for Mr. P, Junior would of never left the reservation. Mr. P was a positive influence, because he suggested the untinkable. It wasn't because Junior threw the book at him, but rather that he saw potential in in. He was smart and he wanted Junior to take that ability and use it to his advantage.

Junior's father: Although his father is an alcholoic, Junior's father was very positive about Junior leaving the reservation. words that inspired and  enlightend Junior's soul was when his father said, those white kids are not better than you. Juniors motivation climaxed when he knew his father would be behind him under any circumstance.

Gordy: If anything Gordy is the more realistic friends that Junior has had. He is very caring because i myself wouldn't ever find a friend who would want to teach me or educate me as much as Gordy. He is actually pushing Junior towards his goal.

I Want Vodka!

The young people in this add look amazingly beautiful, outgoing, and they look like they know how to have some fun. The targets for this add is people who are at least twenty one, because it is improvising alcohol. I see that it is effective, because men usually like having good times with ladies. By this i mean conversations, and alcohol gives that side effect that allows people become more friendly, and sociable. I see that if you were to purchase their Russian vodka you will be capable of living the image they are providing us. in a mans perspective, who wouldn't want to drink and have a good time with women !

Burger King Advertisment

What i love about this advertisement is the fact that the word " free " is bold and bigger than all the other words in the picture. It is an attention grabber, and what i also see is strength. Not literally! The woman in the add is a barbarian strong woman who can only be strong if she eats the most important meal of the day at Burger King. I would expect to see this add in med-evil times, when kings ruled the land. I feel that Burger King wants people to know that you will feel like a warrior mom who doesn't have to cook no longer!

Proceed Progress

Living my moment, burying my past.

Sweetheart

if you have the book, " The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian, written by Sherman Alexie, you will soon realize that throughout the book there are illustrations that Arnold does. One that caught my attention was when Arnold drew a picture of Penelope. He drew her picture because he was astonished by her beauty. I find it funny, because prior to witnessing Penelope, he went on about how he liked girls for their hips. In this case he found himself talking about how beautiful she was in every single way. I find it funny because true love could swipe you off your feet, without realizing it. Also when i see this, i also see a potential friend, and it must feel great from having no friends to having to exchange words with someone who is willing to be nice to you.

The Undestroyable Car

A Jeep for sale, and without a scratch on the car it looks convincing. Wait, I'm persuaded, and I will give into the idea of having the best car ever. Who wouldn't want a car that not only is indestructible in our cruel world, but I also want a car that is untouchable in any other world. Would this mean I would have to purchase two cars? No not when I've found the perfect one. I think its interesting because they try to emphasize that the Jeep is powerful, and it is strong enough to pull through tough situations. In this case the situation is getting stuck between combat, but with the message it conveying itself, I realize that its a get away car that is unstoppable.
