Reflection about House of Blues


    Visiting the House of Blues give me a renew about the Blues. Today our class are followed by Gitte to a special place, House of Blues. We have a class there about Blues.The band taught me a real music class about Blues. This is the first time that I am so close and envole into the real music world. It sounds better than listen to the CD. The feeling is good. As an audient on the spot, it real makes me feel high and active. I can't control my body to follow the music. This band showed the Blues genre first, a little sad to hear, then showed the Jazz and Rock and Roll, the genre are so light and fast, make you happy and forget everything and just move your body. Because this is the first time for me to hearing so crazy music, I was shy of showing my action. But I saw the audients downstairs who were so exited and dancing with the music. At that time , I realized that the Blues and Rocks are so powerful. They are popular in generation to generation for such a long time. And maybe continue to affect the next and the next generation. Tell you the true, I don't like the Rocks and  Hard Rocks. Because I think they are too noise and too crazy for me. I can't bear someone who play the guitar and shake the body and hair and shout a very loud in the station. But now I have a little change about this style of music. The combining bluesy improvisations is also exiting. I have a little like the blues rock.

Pop Star Presentations(Jackie chan)

Jackie chan is my icon. Why I choose him? There are two points. One is he had low culture in studying, but he can overcome all the obstacles from Hongkong to USA and become a superstar. The second is that he can give the feedback to the society. For example, he earned money and he can use his power to found a foundation for helping the poor .
Jackie Chan was born in HongKong. He was not good at studying. But he was a high-energy child. His father sent him to the China Drama Academy. In this school, he learned martial art, acrobatic, singing and acting. But this school never taught the students how to read and write. So when they graduated in this school, they had low culture in the other part of society, but had high energy in stuntwork.
He began to act films at the age of 8. He acted many films,such as, “Project A” , “Rush hour”, “Who Am I”, “Heart of Dragon”. But the best film let him become famouse in Hollywood was “Rumble in the Bronx”. Jackie Chan acted Chinese KongFu and created his own sreen person in his film,plays as a well-meaning, slightly foolish regular guys and he also added the comedy into the film. Let people come to see a movie of his to feel happy and strained on his fighting.
He is successful in acting ,he became a superstar in the world. And he’s also good at his business, he has his own line of clothing, his own restaurants and many other countries and company. The best thing is he is having worked firelessly to champion chartitable works . He found “Dragon’s Heart Foundation” in 1988. The title is Build a school for a dollar. This foundation helps the poor children to study . He had built 21 schools.

Learned Introduction for Students these weeks, I think it is the most interesting part. Why I said that. Because in the text I learned the meaning of popular and 4 elements about it, and I also to do so much work about it. From the researching job I learned so much. For example, I knew not only the popular fad, people, TV shows, movies, songs, events about now, but also from50s to 2000s. I’m just a new immigrant in here. From these weeks researched in the net about the past popular things and listened to my classmates’ information, I really knew a lot about the American history popular culture. All the classes in these weeks I loved so much. All of us had to give a presentation about their interesting things and stars. All these made me feel nervous for a speaking in front of the people, and exciting to listening to others information and eager to get new things from classmates. As I am a Chinese, all the popular just about China. But now I am not. I know Blake Griffin is a famous NBA star, Celin Dion is an Excellent singer, Campbell is a top model…….. I cannot stop myself, because I don’t know so much popular things before that. Forgive me! Special for last week, team work and team presentation, it was really amazing. Past popular culture was so funny. 60s dancing and clothes, 70s band and rock, 50s movies Hahaha………Funny. And I like the team working. Let’s have a way to get in touch with classmates and make us closer. For this unit knowledge, I will give the bumper sticker “Excellent! Stars I love you!” From seeking stars’ career, I knew using the youtube fluently. I will use it to find the special scene to entertainment my family on the family day. Bieber Fever’s information for me to know is too young, or maybe I am too old to know so less about him. I’m just the first time to know him that you ask us to seek. I’m sorry about my out-of-date.
