Connecting to a global tribe

I really loved this video, because it was really creative and amazing.
It shows how the world can unite, and how everyone is the same, yet very unique. I think doing this whole project must have been hard for Matt Harding, but he obviously had a dream, and he followed it. I love how it shows all the different countries for each bit, and you can see that he went pretty much everywhere. I think this is a great video and a great dream.

I Am

I am


I am the strange, unique sound of a new style of music,
yet to be composed,
A new sound no one has ever heard before,
Filling the room with laughter and happiness

I am the optimistic sun,
Creeping through the clouds on a grey rainy day,
Shining down on the wet roads of the city.
fighting through the dull sky.

I am a new page in a book,
Sparking with new ideas and memories to keep forever,
Waiting to be picked up and read,
I am also many other books, already filled with my life so far.

I am a rainbow,
Soaring over our heads after a storm,
Neon bright and cheerful,
Trying to make people happy.

I am a wild plant,
Twisting and turning in a forgotten garden,
With bright flowers at the end,
Weaving my way through the other plants.

I am all these things,
I am me.

I chose this image to represent my poem because it is abstract and different. It is colourful, like the rainbow in the poem, unique like the new music, and is filled with new ideas. I love the colours on this painting as they are so bright and cheerful.

My Wordle Picture

Judging people by looks and personality..

After watching this video I realized that we always assume things about people. When Susan Boyle came on to the show, the audience thought she would be rubbish. They were all rolling their eyes and laughing at her, but when she began to sing they were blown away. Susan was asked why she hasn’t gotten anywhere with her dream, and I think this was not meant as a real question, but actually just a sarcastic one, one that everyone thought they knew the answer to. I thought she would be terrible too, but when I heard her I was amazed.


We all judge people by their appearance, age, nationality or personality, we don’t always realize that they may have a talent. This shows that even people who are older than us, not as beautiful on the outside, or not as funny as us are still good people, who deserve respect. We also like to watch people who are bad at what they do, because we like to laugh at them. This doesn’t make us feel good, and it defiantly doesn’t make the people feel good, but we do it anyway.

I think the video is now watched so much because people want to see that they can follow their dreams, and that they shouldn’t just decide they are not talented, because everyone has a talent. Watching this makes people believe that they can do what they have always wanted, and they shouldn’t worry about what people think about them. This is the same with the Paul Potts video too.

This video links to the poem the dream keeper because Susan Boyle and Paul Potts had dreamt of being on stage, in front of a big audience, but nobody believed in them. The poem is about looking after your dreams, and following them, which Susan and Paul did. They didn’t care what other people thought, and proved them wrong. The poem also has a connection with The Blokes because people judged Hashim because he was different from them, but really he proved that he had a talent.
