The topic I have been researching about is Mario and his history as a video game icon. This topic has interested me because I was a huge fan of Nintendo, and I had owned plenty of Mario games from the Game Boy Color to the Nintendo Wii. What I know about Mario is that most of Mario’s games are platformers, and the main plot of Super Mario Bros. is that the King Koopa, also known as Bowser, kidnaps the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach. Mario is then told to rescue Princess Peach.

"Mean Girls" (2004) 97 minutes, Comedy, is about the everyday popular highschool cliché. These girls are the prettiest and pretty much rule the school. It targets teenage girls who see this occur in their own high schools. This movie starts off when Cady (Lindsey Lohan) moves from Africa. At her new school she becomes friends with the castoffs.

Why do we label and put stereotypes on others? Are there real damages from this?

I've been interested in labels/ categories lately. I see many people put labels on each other without knowing the real damage a label can have on someone. I started to think maybe I should look more into why people actually give labels and what are the real damages of putting others in labels and categories. I came about this idea when I was actually reading the book Shooter. It’s about a shooting on a high school campus. Cameron, Carla, and Len are all friends because there “outsiders”. They don’t fit with the popular kids which were the “jocks”.

Street art is a growing art form that substitutes canvases and art gallery's for walls, dumpsters, sidewalks, and many other public places we see every day. Often times, it is centered on political and social themes. Now a days you may see the media focus more and more on this growing art form. But why is it becoming so much more popular than it was a few years ago? I will try and unravel the secrets of its growing popularity in this blog post.

Why are tattoos so popular in today’s society? Most people who have tattoos will say that they got it for a specific time or person in their lives that they will never forget. Others say that they feel more adventurous and don’t really have a specific reason for getting their tattoo. For some people, tattoos make them feel different from other people. Some people say it is art. In an NBC News article a young man said, “Your body’s an empty canvas, so you almost want to continue to add to it.” I personally do not like tattoos and i don’t understand them.

What makes music popular?

I am interested in this question because I am so in love with music. It makes me wonder why some songs are so popular on the radio while others are not. I discover music, that i find, is much better than the Top Song on the Billboard Top 100, but hardly anyone listens to this artist or band. Why is this is so? What makes songs good, and popular, and others not? Is it the record company the artist works for or is it the lyrics in the song? What makes music popular?

AS of right now many students in Hyde Leadership Charter School are being aware of the Kony awareness situation. It is an injustice what this man is doing with the country of Uganda. In my project i plan to upload YouTube videos stating the importance of making Kony famous and encouraging many different people to participate in doing so. We must get him out of the way for the benefit of the young children and much more. I will interview people and ask them about their opinions about Kony and what they pan to do to help.

So What? Television Shows

The main thing that I have learned is that television shows evolve and so do viewers. Popular shows in the 1990s, like Friends and Seinfeld, which were about a close knitted group of clean friends, would never survive in televisions market today which feeds off negativity. Today’s viewers are drawn to more dirty and mean spirited comedies like Two and a Half men. In addition, television is also changing the amount of money it spends on itself. In past years, television could never keep up with the production quality of high intensity action thrillers.

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of music from famous singers. For example, today, Iistened to the song Party in the USA from Miley Cyrus and I think it's a great song. I'm also listening to some Japanese singers. For example, the Japanese band I listen to every day is KAT-TUN. For anybody that doesn't listen to Japanese music, you could ignore this. Also, what song shoud I listen to next? I've already listened to Down from Jay Sean, One time from Justin Bieber, Fire Burning from Sean Kingston, 3 from Britney Spears, and many more. Also, who is your favorite American singer. My favorite American singers are Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Jay Sean, Flo Rida, and Cascada.

Twilight vs. Hunger Games

If you ask almost anyone what Twilight is they could probably give you an entire lecture on the book, or at least they will have heard of it. But ask someone if they have heard of the Hunger Games or City of Bones, they might give you a funny look,or say "whats that?"
Why is it that Twilight became so popular so quickly, when there are other books with similar story lines that are much better written?
What made Twilight so special over all the other books?
