Mrs Representation

Yesterday and the day before we started this movie called Mrs Representation. The movie was about how girls feel like they should act and be in society because society and media tells them to do be "pretty","hot", "skinny", and "curvy"enough for people to like them. Grown Men were treating Women like objects in this film. Guys who would do news cast and sports cast would talk about "hot" girls like they were a desert or something. It was disgusting the way Guys were treating and talking about women. I wanted to punch so many of them in the face. they would talk about how Sarah Palin was good looking and dumb but then say Hilary Clinton was a b!tc# and ugly. I didn't understand why they would say such horrible things. After the movie all us Girls were talking about why girls would act slutty and people said to get attention and because of the media. More then half of the directors and writers are men and want more guys to watch TV so they make "silly" and "funny" commercials and films to get the guys attention. So the directors would most likely want a good looking lady to come and act "hot" to try and get the guys attention. There was one commercial where a little boy asked this this Lady to open his pop ad her boobs were like all out and he was staring at them. It was meant to be funny and i was for a second and then i thought like wow this is degrading to women. We then started to talk about how its a kind of a good thing that our class is all girls class, but girls can be very self conscious. you look at a girl and you start to compare your flaws with her beauty's and it can become somewhat of a problem because you start to think "wow i wish i could look like that" and I'm pretty sure every girl in this class including myself feel like this. This movie was really good and i liked it even though some pars made me mad.

November 13th and 14th

Two weeks a Get fit class went to the panorama school of dance, It was so much fun. I really enjoyed doing the things before we actually started to dance. I think that would be a really fun activity to do in class one day because when i was in dance in grade 8 we would do something like that and i felt good after. For the dancing portion i really like that as well because it was really fun and you get a work out from it. i really liked the moves and the song was fun.

Getting to Know Your Classmates.

1.Write about something that you are proud of so far this semester...........

So far this semester i achieved some new things about my Get Fit self that have made me proud. Trying my hardest has made me proud because before i would just do whatever because i wasn't liking what we were doing.

2.  Write about what you have learned.......

I have leaned that when you work hard you can start to see improvement. I like the fact that we chose what to do with our selfs in clase its just the matter of doing it. it is more injoyable when you have a good teacher.

3.  Write about what your goals are for the end of the course....
