Mackenzie's blog on "The Show" by Lenka

First of all, I absolutely love that song. When I first bought it, I listened to it at least 15 times. And, whenever I listened to it, I would picture this girl (sometimes me) caught up in the middle of two friends fighting, the progress going around her, her teachers yelling, and everything in between. She would just shrug her shoulders and start skipping and dancing and just having a good time. This vision makes me agreewith what Mackenzie is saying about being confused and caught up in a billion different things at this time in our lives. I know I'm caught up in a hell of alot. But, as Lenka reminds us to enjoy the show. If we don't, we'll be miserable in the end and life will have wasted time on us. Whats the point of living if you can't enjoy it?

Anna's blog on Levi's commercials

When I first saw this commercial, I thought it was amazing. It was inspiring, powerful, uplifting, and it made me feel like a hippie for some reason. Naturally, I thought the commercial was raising money for some stellar organization raising money for some good cause. Then, the end came, and it said Levi's jeans. I was thunderstruck! Like Anna, I was surprised at the sudden change in advertisement strategy. I'm not going to repeat them, but every single adjective that Anna used to describe this commercial was 100 percent correct. Plus, the use of Walt Whitman, a fantastic poet, made me want to go buy a pair ASAP. It was wonderfully artsy and reminded me of how companies focused on nudity to gain customers can rise up and make a commercial like this. Also, like Anna, the historical happenings and references made me feel empowered, almost as if I could do the things they could do in the commercial. Well done Levi's!
