Not Your Grandma's Lemonade Stand

This specific image interpellates my interests automatically because it “talks to me” when my eyes meet its projection. Naturally, it invokes feelings of reminiscence to my childhood, and makes me think of the hope of freedom we have always had for this country because it brings the words, “independent owners” to my mind. The flowers in this picture make me believe that the lemons beside it are as beautiful or organic as they are The producers of this photo may have intended this picture as an ad scheme. “This kind of lemonade is the best kind.” I believe my viewing is unique because not everyone grew up selling lemonade in their neighborhood or have experienced it in general. This being said, others may view this image in a completely opposite way that I do. This happens with every picture posted and interpellated by individuals every day of our lives. What does this picture say to you?

Our president is an ideal figure

President Obama: An All American Man

This picture provokes many an emotion in a world schema. For most Americans, however, this picture of our president Obama ensures feelings of pride, nationality, “hope for change,” and an array of such parallel emotions. For other Americans, disgrace, negative, and like disapproval of Obama. This picture is not objective for that very point. Other individuals from different parts of the globe may not agree with the opinions of Americans and their feelings about the president of America. This picture may or may not be ideal to all. This picture of Obama holds strong social value to those who support him yet also lacks value for those who do not support him.

STRONG AND WEAK STORIES IN THE NEWS

As I was going to check my email, this news story was in the number one spot for viewers to read. This story was short but very conclusive in its few words. It said that a couple of Paris Hilton’s “quotes” would be inserted into the “Oxford Book of Quotations.” Some of the quotes would consist of her infamous sayings, “That’s hot,” and “Dress cute wherever you go, life is too short to blend in.” In my opinion, this sort of news is non-informative as well as unimportant. The purpose it serves does not seem to confront the necessary information regarded in a context that can be helpful by any means of everyday life. This is a story I wished I had not spent even the few moments checking into, yet we are lead and deceived by headlines that this story will present some type of significance.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/14/us/politics/14wilson.html This article is an update of the news of Joe Wilson’s outburst during a President Obama speech. It reminds viewers of his original break into the news, yelling, “You lie!” It is an update because it speaks of Joe Wilson not apologizing for a second time and that some people are supporting him because of his outburst. It is strong in my opinion because it is a very important story that deals with many an opinion of the American’s president and can lead to some significant changes in our very own legislations. This very story leads myself into emotions and criticism about our government, which makes me believe it is a strong news case.
