What are Girl Scouts cookies? I wonder as I watch the man on stage throw
back the black cloth to show the numbers 65243. What do these numbers
even mean? Is that worth a lot? This show is between channel 6 and
channel 8. These people adorned in exquisite cloths and dangling jewelry
are announcing something. Oh something about nominations. I hear the
films "Mad Max: fury road" and "The Revenant" said pretty often. Are
they permanently on these nomination lists because there's a lot of
times where the lady or gentleman on the stage opens up a fancy looking
red and gold envelope and dramatically says "Mad Max". The thunderous
roar suddenly starts as the screen pans to a specific person standing
up. They look very happy and start shaking hands with the multitude of
people sitting around them. They are congratulating them I think but I
still have to figure it for what? Oh my they are given this shiny little
gold man. It looks very interesting and now that I notice more of the
background, there's more of these shiny gold men but a lot bigger scattered and
stacked in the background. The person given this little object starts
talking in the mic, but it's always filled with thanks - thanks for
either family, crew, or whatnot. I don't really understand why they are
thanking but the speeches don't last for long as they seem to end when
the music starts playing. I'm starting to get that the music means
"hurry up and finish your speech". Now, there's singing. Huh? I thought
this whole thing was about just people getting the statues. I guess
this show has a lot of entertainment packed into it.

The reason why people write in another perspective foreign to our own is
to raise awareness of the objects we take granted. The stuff and
normalities that we think is so normal might not be so in other
countries or ethnicity. The "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema" is a
perfect example of this. When I first read it, I was like huh? Is there
actually a culture out here like this? When it hit me, I was shocked
about how a foreign take to the everyday things that I do changes my
mindset. It really shows how everybody's perspective is locked onto one
specific mindset because most of the people in our class didn't realize
that this piece was a satire of Americans until after we talked about
it. After reading this essay, the question "do people really see us like
this?" lingered in my mind.
Also Leonardo DiCaprio for The Best Actor please.
EDIT: WOOHOO He finally got it :')
