Contains a brief paragraph how it connects to your study of humanities. 1 point

Hollywood connects to our study of humanities because it is such a huge part of why many people want to visit California. Since Hollywood is known as a star town there is countless number of jobs in the entertainment industry. Hollywood has made many actors, producers, directors, photographers, hairdressers, and make-up artists’ dreams come true. From the golden age of Hollywood glam that made Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor starlets to the new crazed paparazzi that follows Britney Spears and Paris Hilton around.

Contains the following "analytical elements":

Observation: What did you choose? What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made? What is the subject of the work? If you chose a 'thing' what is the work made of and what techniques (colors, lines, shapes, textures)does the creator use? Be specific in your description. If you chose a place, be specific in your description of what you see or hear. Talk to your reader as though they cannot see the item but somehow must draw a painting of what you see or hear. 1 point

I selected Hollywood because it is what makes Southern California so popular. Hollywood is often referred to as tinsletown because of all the glitz and glamour of the fast pace town where on every corner you see 100,000 thousand dollar cars driven by the rich and the famous. Way up on Mt. Cahuenga is the most famous, the most popular symbol that makes Hollywood legendary. The Hollywood Sign was created in 1923. Since then it has made Hollywood a famous landmark. The sign once read Hollywoodland, but land was removed in 1949 after the Chamber of Commerce took over caring for the celebrated sign. The sign was named Los Angeles Cultural Monument #111 in 1973.

Interpretation: What is your choice about? Give specific examples to support this statement in 2 sentences; do so in a way that teaches us something about your choice. Make Paulo Freire proud! .75 point

Although a lot Hollywood’s movie industry has moved to surrounding cities, Hollywood still had that appealing glamour that it had in the fifty years ago. The Hollywood walk of fame was created in 1958 and since then countless number of entertainers have had their name on the walk of fame.

Judgment: What led you to your choice? What do you think or feel about this choice? Why do you feel this way? Support your thoughts with specific observations. .5 point
What led me to my choice was when I think of Las Angeles I think of movies, of celebrities and of the amazing stores that one day I wish to be able to afford to shop in. I feel fantastic about my choice because Hollywood is a legendary town in California.

Questioning: What else would you like to know about this choice? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience. Example: I learned that John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath was based on his personal experience working with farm workers. I would like to know if the characters he used in that book are fictitious or are they people he met? .5 point

The Hollywood walk of fame has numerous travelers that visit their favorite celebrity star. I would like to know whose star is the most famous and visited on the walk of fame.

4. Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (eg cut paste that blog entry here) . .5 point

I viewed Russell blog and he did his on California African American Museum. I learned that this museum is public friendly and has over 20,000 books to do research with. It is related to our class theoretical foundations because the African American culture has been a big part of California history.
