I find this photo to be incredible because of how it perfectly reflects who Bolt is. Bolt is an amazing runner, who always comes out victorious, and you can just feel his pride in being successful through this action shot.
There were many rough times in 2016 and this photo of a protestor can be found to be very powerful. The protestor, a young woman, seems to be acting very peaceful and respectable yet is still told to leave by military forces. It feels much like a modern day Martin Luther King Jr movement photo.
Prompts:
1. What was the best song of 2016?
I believe that the best song of 2016 was "Black Beatles" by Rae Sremmurd. The reason why I was drawn to choose this song was because of the major internet trend that went around called the Mannequin Challenge. I think the song itself was amazing but on top of that it encouraged everyone to join together in completing a fun challenge. Not everyone is drawn to rap songs such as this one but in 2016 it caused many people to become more accepting and interested in this type of music, which I really like.
2. What was the best movie of 2016?
For best movie of the year I choose the action military movie Hacksaw Ridge. I do not go to the movies often but I went to go see this one as a school assignment. I believe this movie really captured the intensity of war, and the power that a single individual can have on a whole community. It also shows how you do not have to be violent in order to help and achieve great things, which I really enjoyed.
3. What was the most important news story of 2016?
I believe that one of the most important news stories of 2016 was the Orlando Club shooting. This shooting took place in America which caused it to be one of the most tragic events of 2016 (for us Americans). As seen in the photo tragedy can bring lots of people to come together and unite. The fact that it was a gay club brought lots of attention to different movements in the gay community in trying to gain the most equal rights and respect of others.
4. Who was the most important person of 2016?
The most talked about person of 2016 was by far our new presidential elect Donald Trump. In 2016 it was all about whether a person hated him or loved him (there tended to be no in-between). Donald Trump often said some incredibly ridiculous and offensive things, which caused him to be in the news way more than Hillary was. Presidency is something that affects everyone in America, which I believe added to his importance.
5. What was the biggest sports event of 2016?
The biggest sports event that occurred this past year were the 2016 Rio Olympics. The olympics are a time in which all of the world comes together in celebrating competition between one another. I personally really enjoyed watching the gymnastics competitions, which is why I selected this particular photo.
Over the break:
1. Something Exciting:
This winter break my Aunt and Uncle had a baby! It was really exciting getting a new little cousin! Unfortunately I was not able to visit them this winter break but I got to see many photos of him, and their whole family celebrating Christmas together. Definitely something I will not forget.
2. 2017 Resolutions:
I normally give something up for the new year, however I could not think of something that I could really give up and stick to throughout the year. So for 2017 I made the resolution that I would learn how to play the piano by the end of the year. I've always wanted to learn how to play, so me and my sister decided to team up on this resolution to add extra motivation, and come together and purchase a piano together.
3. Looking Forward To:
Overall I'm really looking forward to making all new memories with my friends and family. I have plans already to attend some fun concerts and events with others that I'm super exited about! 2016 was a pretty bad year, for many people, so I'm looking forward to making 2017 and amazing year (really shouldn't take much effort considering how rough 2016 was).
