Mizuno Wave Shock Advertisement: Absorption

This is an advertisement made by a company called Mizuno Wave Shock. Mizuno Wave Shock is obviously a company that makes shoes and this is an advertisement for one of their sneakers. The advertisement shows the sneaker in between the vertebra. This is called symbolism and in this advertisement the symbolism implies that if you wear the sneaker your body bounces and
You will have less aches and pains. It says that this is the shoe you need if you're a runner. In the advertisement also has the element of Lighting and Color. The background is black so you focus in on the spine and Mizuno Wave Shock probably made sure that nothing else had to much color in it except the sneaker in which there are a variety of colors. Something else I noticed was that this picture is very unique and I'm not sure if this is one of the elements but if it was I'm not sure if it would be in symbolism or layout and graphics. But what I thought was "If the picture is unique, does that influence customers to buy the product?" That's a question I'm hoping Mr.Hughes can answer in class. The answer might be yes because when I see the unique picture in this advertisement I think that shoe must be very unique.

Help the World in One Way

If I could help the world in one way I think I would give everybody the ability to tell who’s smarter than whom. This is the best way to help the world I can think of cause maybe we’re voting all the wrong people into presidency. Maybe there are people who would make better kings or prime ministers. If humans could tell who’s smarter than who then maybe all the right people would be in charge. I mean wouldn’t it be amazing if we figured out that President Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing and the guy with the solution to world hunger is the guy mowing his lawn next door. If everybody knew that that guy mowing his lawn had the solution, he would be in charge and there would be no more world hunger!

That’s not the only way being able to tell who’s smarter than who would help. Say you want to invest in a company and you ask your friend which company he/she thinks will be the most successful. Now your friend may be your friend but that doesn’t mean he/she’s not stupid. He could point you in the completely wrong direction and you could lose everything. Now if you had the ability to tell who’s smarter than whom… you could ask a person who knew what he/she was doing. If everybody followed a plan like that than the most of the world’s economy wouldn’t be in the toilet.

Psych: Pilot


On friday in English we watched the pilot episode of Pysch. Psych is a mystery show with some comedy tossed in though it still had the elements of mystery. The element that every mystery that every mystery must have is the problem to solve.
In Psych it was the kidnapping of Camden McCallum, who was kidnapped for ransom. Another mystery element you must have is the person who solves the problem. In Psych it was Shawn and Gus. Shawn is the real main character and is posing as a psychic in front of the police. Gus is his best friend and has been since pre-school. Every mystery also has to have a person who started the problem. The weird thing in Psych was the kidnapper of Camden was Camden's friend Ourso and Camden was letting him kidnap him! The entire thing was planned out by Camden and his motivation was to steal some of his father's money. Lots of mysterys also have a twist or a surprise ending. The surprise ending in psych was that Camden's father accidentally killed his son and killed Ourso when he saw. Then Mr. McCallum covered his tracks to make it look like a murder/suicide. Camden's dog saw this all, making it the witness. When Camden's dog saw though it realized that Mr. McCallum was not a good man and so it bit him. The cast on Mr. McCallum's arm covered the wounds from the dog bites which served as evidence.

6 Elements of Mystery Represented by Pictures


This picture represents the person who solves the mystery because obviously this person is a detective. The footsteps indicate she's looking for someone and probably the person who might have started the crime.


This image represents the suspect. The image shows a man being interrogated by a policeman. This image fits because suspects are always interrogated for their alibi and such.

This image represents the witness. The little girl represents the witness and she witnessed a person murdering another person by gun.


This image represents evidence. You can see an evidence bag in the image above. In a mystery evidence is what will help the detective prove that he/she is right.


This image represents the victim because the woman with the gun pointed at her forehead wspaceball.gifspaceball.gifill probably end up dead and make her the victim in the investigation following her death.

All good mystery stories have suspense. And that's what this image represents. You can add suspense to a story in many ways. Including a car chase which, as you can see, is my picture.

Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Doll Curse


In class today we watched the last 10 minutes of an episode of monk. Yesterday the rest of the class watched the beginning but I wasn't there so my report is all on what I think happened and the elements of a mystery in that episode.

Monk had many elements that make up a mystery and one of them was the problem, crime, wrong-doing, whatever you want to call it. In this case it was the death of Robert Boyd ,who had been set to look like he had a heart attack even though it was murder. His death was in a series with 2 other people though the other 2 weren't murdered.(Or at least the 2nd one, the 1st one was a homicide) The next element was the person who solves the crime. This of course was the obsessive detective Adrian Monk. Then all crimes begin with a villain. The true villain in this episode turned out to be Robert Boyds neice, Angeline Doerth though she had the alibi of he's my uncle, why would I kill him and I was upstairs when I heard a scream. The suspect was the voodoo shop keeper because all the dead people were found with a voodoo doll. The other 2 deaths acted as a red herring towards Monk. He struggled to find how these 3 people were connected, they weren't. Another red herring was when Angeline sent Monk's sidekick, Natalie a voodoo doll with a head cut off. This freaked Natalie out because each voodoo doll of each victim had the death of the person symbolized on it. For example the first person who died was hit on the head with a baseball. The little voodoo doll had a little voodoo baseball attached to it's little voodoo head. So Natalie's doll told her her head was going to be cut off. This is a red herring because it becomes Monk's priority to keep Natalie under control, safe and un-cursed. There was suspense in this story when Monk was chasing Angeline who was trying to kill Natalie. The twist in the end was when Monk put the story together gathering information like the evidence-which is Angeline was in the newspaper with the second victim who got zapped by lightning-and the motive-which was was money. Angeline's uncle had a fortune and she intended to get it. When Monk put this all together he saw the truth.
