American Life

1. What have you included in this video?
In this video there are just different parts of my life such as me taking the train to go to school, friends, family, sports and just overall having a great time. I wanted to show how what I do can be similar to other people’s life such as the train and sports.

2. Explain how different parts of the video relate to your way of life.
Well starting with the train video. I take the train everywhere. To school, home, shopping and more. For me it is, the easiest and fastest way to get around the city.

Heading to school I took a video of the entrance and what I normally do when I walk in. One of them being I say hello to the security guard at the desk.

Lastly, I put pictures and videos of my friends and family having a good time. They are important aspects of my life and have been there since the beginning. I am glad that I have people that love me and care for me like they do.

3. What’s seems good about your way of life? What’s bad? What’s neutral?
What is good about my way of life is the people I have in it and how they have helped me. My family is always they’re helping me and giving me the support I need to go on in school. My friends give me an extra boost and laughter. I am not sure if there are any aspects of my life that are bad or neutral.


4. What would you have liked to have included, that is important to your way of life, but weren’t able to?
I would have liked to include a softball video of my team playing and showing how we are tough and wont give up. There are many pictures I would have liked to add but I had to be short.

5. What’s going on with your way of life? What seems to be the general pattern or direction or point or situation?
A general pattern of my life would be going to school and practice. Within the day I make time for friends and homework and when everything is done I spend time with my family. Overall at the end it can be tiring but I love it.

6. How do the good, bad, and neutral in your way of life fit together?
I would say the good, bad and neutral way of life fit together because they even each other out. There are some bad moments but then the good ones make it better and the neutral ones even out all of them together.

7. Does your way of life seem like a “typical American Way of Life”? Why or why not?
Some of my video can be the “typical American way of life” such as getting on the train and going to school. But as for sports some people don’t get involved in them.

8. What aspects of your way of life seem really interesting to you – you’d like to think about them more deeply, figure out how this sort of thing developed historically, what’s going to happen to this aspect of your way of life within your lifetime? What questions do you have about these really interesting aspects of your way of life?

Volleyball and Softball are very important to my life. Sometimes I think about if I will be able to play in college and how far I will get with it. I like to be challenged and sports definitely gives me a challenge. I just wonder if my video could relate to anyone’s way of life and how similar my video will be to my peers.
