In Class Assignment 2

Lonely Girl

Bree, who is the main character in the video, she is about 15 (is it that real? because she dont act like 15 year old..), she is home-educated by her religious parents. Her friend Daniel helps her with these videos. When these videos popped up, people began to question that is real or not. Why these videos attract so many audiences? I think not only she is cute and fetch peer group, our public media also give influence about these videos. There are bunch storage things: Bree is a religious person, why her parents let Daniel stay alone in her room? When they took video outdoors, Daniel such as good cameraman, because he holds camera stability.

Why lonelygirl appealing so many people?
Bree is beautiful and cleave. Her emotion is funny. Beside that, I think lots of people pay attention to her video because people can participate to discuss her problems. Not all of people can understand her point of view, but many people have the same problem as she have, people are curious to see what can she handle that.


About YouTube's language?
The language for YouTube video blog are pretty similar. People share their mood with people: sad, happiness, rude, all kind of things they do in their life. People have control with their blog, show their crazy things, with no purpose. YouTube language is easy to understand, visible images or caption can make other foreigner to understand well rather than hard languages.


Could YouTube change the world?
History about our culture, technology changes our life. After thousands years, people still can look backward to see what kind of society human live in 21 century. It record our daily life. YouTube make different cultures to show in one stage. YouTube changes the way people interact, people can share same ideas or comments together. It's the new age for people to put their private things on the public place.


To be part of the world
I think it's good because i have free space to put my video on the website, and share with my friend. It's more convenient. Rather than that, I can watch these funny videos, enjoy what other people's ideas.

In-class Writing #6

Todd Samuel Presner states in his article Jews on ship; How Heine's Reisebilder Deconstruct Hegel's Philosophy of world history. "Both men were working in the already established generic form of the travel narrative, combing elements of a rich historical tradition of discovery with their subjective experiences of mobility on foot and by ship"(521).
