Final Reflection


Reflection about the entire course is very positive in my mind.Today I can clearly say,that I learned something from this class.From the definitions and mainstream to music,and movies..But beside the "paper" knowledge I learned how to be more practical around the Internet Websites,and how to create some stuff on the computer.To be honest I never used any of those tools,now I know how to use it and I even showed glogster to couple of my friends.This course like opened my views how to look at the movies, and music types.The important thing that I do not have it is, but I think that I made a little progress is about presentations in front of class. We had a lot of presentations in our class, and it was a little challenge for me, even You know that it is so problematical for me. This class even learned me that every time I'm on the train to school, or on the bus to work I always take Red Eye.
Thank You ;)

Horror Genre


Horror films seek to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's most primal fears. They often feature scenes that startle the viewer through the means of macabre and the supernatural, thus frequently overlapping with the fantasy and science fiction genres. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre.

Second Reflection


Since we started this chapter about the music, I was little confused.
Firstly, I learned what does the word "Genre" means. It may seems weird but now as I listen to the music I am trying to recognize the type of the music because I just listen what I like to listen and I know three kinds of music.Now I try to recognize it. To be honest I always thought that the most of American songs, even those what are now on the radio, they do not make any sense to me, I know that my English language isn't perfect and I do not understand everything, but I think that I am able to recognize it.So i usually listen to Polish rap, because of sense, to find this deeper meaning of the song.This is interesting, because I am pretty sure that a lot of people pay attention to the lyrics, or what does the video clip mean. This chapter was interesting, and again we learned something new, and again as every chapter showed us something new or realized.

This is my favorite song for my lazy days, makes me to feel chill out and like without problems. Composes a good mood.

Pop Culture in my Culture

Cultural Ideninty Reflection


On my Cultural Identity Blog I posted a short thriller of my city of origin.He sings about our city how everything has changed since our city was destroyed by Germany army. I also posted a picture from my graduation which was just a year ago In Chicago, Foreman high school.There is a picture of ma favorite place in Poland "Zakopane".I went there every year, during summer brake or winter brake.It is far from my city,because my city is next to the Baltic Sea and Zakopane is on the South of Poland. There is also a picture with my mother on the boat in our favorite place in Bavaria. I also posted a picture of my handball team. I played for seven years,and we won Championship of our Country,and every year championship of our state.
