BARACK V. DELANOR

Barack Obama is basically similar to FDR in a bunch of ways, mainly his motivation and effort. At the time, everyone loved FDR, and everyone did what he said, especially in government, now, the 'house is divided', and Obama is facing many people that not only disagree with his politics, hate him, literally hate him, due to his democrat-ness. It's quite ridiculous, and I hate that. We should all have independent thought, but no. And because of this, nothing is getting done.

I still support Obama, I have trust that he will ultimately be better for America.

The Great Depression

The 'company' I worked at was a contemporary art museum, and so the only similar company that would have been around in the 30's would be a plain old art museum, and I have a prediction they didn't do well during the depression. Mainly, museums already have problems getting people to the museum, but back in the day (the 30s) nobody had any money whatsoever, so I think it would fail, tremendously.

Reverend Casy-

" there ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There is just stuff people do."

I feel like this reveals a lot about the character, for one he had a revelation that a lot of people do, that there is evil in this world, enough to disprove a god. In a sense.

"Ain't wanting to talk about it? I won't ask ya-"

I think this displays a lot of respect for someone, even a convict, especially that this comes from an old minister.

"Git in here, Tom, you're on parole"

This happened when their hiding Tom. The fact that an old minister is protecting a convict is very impressive, maybe he doesn't care, maybe he's just not judgmental.

I really liked this interview, it had a lot of professional attributes and well written.

Calvin's Media Saves the Beach project was pretty well edited and finalized, I liked the flow and subject matter.

Sai's Media Saves the Beach project (the website) took an alternative route to the average expectation. Normal sites such as these run off flash, but they went the HTML route instead, and I really liked how it was different.

Ampersand is coming, Ampersand is coming, Ampersand is coming!!!

My 'Seed' idea is basically called (so far) 'Growing Up' (same title as my mentor interview, for a reason). Taking from the ideas I authored for my mentor interview, and from the transcriptions, of how you never know where you're going. You never know what you're going to do, for how long, maybe you won't even like it. But my idea is a photo essay (I wanted to make it longer than just 5 photos, I took a lot, maybe 7 or 8 captions. I want it to stem from my photo essay (5 photos) but expanded ideas, longer, and better. I want to discuss how High school students need to take life seriously.

My hopes for Ampersand (VOLUME II) are that everyone takes it as seriously as the people in The NEw Yorker do. I was originally going to say as much as I will or do, but since we're mentally competing with the NEw Yorker, why not in all meanings of the term. I want the same amount of passion in the NEw Yorker in Ampersand...I just hope....

Ampersand is coming, Ampersand is coming, Ampersand is coming! Ampersand is coming!!! Ampersand is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Semester #2, BlOG 2

Intro Draft:

Entering the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCASD) building on Kettner Boulevard in Downtown is an interesting sight. A Professional and clean building filled with Artsy types working diligently on the next art exhibitions due to premier late March of this year.

I met Gabrielle Wyrick on my first site visit in November, and after a month I began my real internship, lasting only 3 weeks. She studied at UCASD undergraduate while in love with Art History, later she would go on to discover Museum Curating. After graduating, she joined the MCASD staff team and never really left. Wyrick, the current education curator, busy trying to communicate with her fellow MCASD employees at the La Jolla site, found little times to communicate with me, and one of those times I was able to get her to answer some of my questions.

Questions:

So, you went to UCSD, right?

Specifically, which department or school inside of UCSD?

What did you originally want to accomplish or learn there? Did it change?

After college did you try out different things before deciding upon a career in education?

Why were you interested in getting a job at MCASD?

Did you original thoughts, plans, pretty much anything dealing with your perspective on MCASD change after working?

Reflection:

I feel like what makes interviews good are relative, because interviews in a science magazine should be informative, no matter the person being interview, the subject matter is what matters, but in, for instance, People's magazine the subject matter does not matter, only the person.

Having that said I feel like the interviewee and the interviewer both need to be motivated to give good oral feedback, both, not only the interviewee.
