This week we experimented with lights and taking photos of a human subject and also processing it in black and white. We also read an article written by Steinbeck about the great depression that was happening at the time. We discussed it and also had to answer the prompt "Dose our society depend on maintaining and creating of a peon class". We also watched a documentary about the dust bowl and wrote about that. We also had to do research on tow chemistry equations. Portraits/ Lighting Photos I tookPhotos I modeled forSteinbeck"Does our society really depend on creating and maintaining and creating Peon class?"This prompt has me all kinds of twisted up. I don't believe we should have a peon class, that they should have equal rights and have a chance to live better lives. But at the same time they are the reason CA is the 8th biggest economy. I f it wasn't for them we may not have anything right now. So this question has me in a tough spot. I feel like someone took a knife and has cut my thoughts in half. I would love to say that I would love to say that I would go out and work in the farms but due to medical conditions and I feel like I could help in other ways that will have a lasting impact. For example get them medical benefits or benefits to help out with their families. I can somewhat relate to what they're going through, when I was born my had me we there were around 21 or 22. They were still in college and we lived in small housing on an air force base. Than two years later my sister was born in new york after my dad left the airforce and was attending cornell and my family lived in a small apartment. But long story short we had to work very hard on little money to get where we are today. So I can sympathize with these workers and I understand what it's like to move around and try to just work with what you got and with options you have put out on the table. So do I think society needs to depend on the peon class? I really don't know honestly because I don't want them to continue having to work but at the same time they put food on our table and make the economy good. My thoughts our essentially I think it's awful that this is happening but I don't know what outcome would happen if we didn't have them. Chemistry EquationsAgNO3 + NaClThis is called the Molor Equation because it is dealing molecules. They helps identify different chemicals in that equation, It teaches us identify different chemicals but cannot be measured in a microscopic level.

It teaches us about how to combined bonds.

In our first week of being on the Lerario/Strong team we learned more about the project called Light where we take photos of different stuff or things our teachers want us to experiment with. We also learned about the basics of cameras like shutter speed and the rule of thirds. We even got to go out and take pictures during Monday morning. We talked about safety parodical in chemistry and make a sign to remind kids of the safety rules. We also talked about a photo taken during the little rock integration. in conclusion it was a fun week and cant wait to do more with the team! Photos from the week 1/18/2017 - 1/22/2016Safety posterDraft #1Draft #2Little Rock IntegrationThis photo historically speaking is significant and iconic . Not just because it was the first few black kids to integrate into an all white school that was part of it, but more than that it captures every perspective that was happening at the time in one shot. You have the lady screaming at Elizabeth. You can see some grils on the side who appears they are just trying to get to school. You got Elizabeth who is being harassed but keeps her cool. But the craziest thing about this photo to me is there army guy in the back just doing his job, which is to protect the new kids. Weather they agree top third or not they really don't have a say right now because there job is not to have an opinion it is to follow there orders. So we have no idea really what they are think unlike everyone else who have obvious reactions to the whole thing. So as a viewer I am left to guess.
