50's and Back


Flash Fiction:
Old School and new school together, is the best way to live.

Artist Statement:
The reason behind the old school and new school concept is its who I am. I’m a new school person, I like the technology and the advancements of stuff. I’m also an old school person because I like to look at old things and see the history behind it. Also I like it because in my childhood my dad took me to car shows. The artwork of my picture symbolizes bright colors on the truck which back in the 50s, vehicles came in bright colors. The importance of the statement is that you can mix and match things that you wouldn’t think they go together until you try it. Both work together because I’m a new school person in an old school car and that’s what my flash fiction is about.
Reflection:
                People in our generation when talking about personality think about what others think of them and how they connect with their interests. People think that because that’s who they are to others. You could offer your services to other people and they would say your nice and a helpful person. You could be an athlete and others will say you’re a hard- working person. I agree with that because its what others say about you.
                Personality is kind of like everybody interviewing you at once. People will judge how you look but how you act in front of them is what matters. On Personality Myth podcast, Delia was visiting Dan in prison, and Dan made a mistake that put him in there. “As soon as she starts talking to Dan, she forgets about “the hatred” tattoo.” (personality) Delia didn’t care what Dan looked like or about his tattoo, she just wanted to talk to him, hear his story, she wanted to learn his personality. Another texts’ take on personality by how you look. “First impressions are highly influential, despite the well-worn admonition not to judge a book by its cover.” (looks) This means that you can tell their personality by looking at what they wear, and I don’t agree with that at all.
                I totally agree with the topic of personality and how you should get to know the person before you judge them. I dealt with this in my own life and I was a victim of it. I judged the person a lot before I got to know him, and now he’s one of my friends. Whatever you do, don’t judge a book by its cover.

    I liked your piece and I totally agree with don't judge a book by its cover. One thing you should do is put your name. Other than that it was an awesome piece and I can relate to the old school and new school. I have to help my dad with his old vehicles all the time cause he has a 94 ford 01 ford and a 90 chevy.

    I liked how you connected old school to new school and how you related back to your childhood. I think all your piece were very well thought out and written and it was overall really good. I especially liked the picture because that color on older cars looks so awesome.

    I thought it was cool how even though you like the technology of these days you can still like old cars and be involved with that type of stuff. I thought it was interesting how you said you like it because your dad took you to car shows when you were little I think that helps with bringing emotion into the writing.

    For your flash fiction photo I love the vibrant color of the old car because vibrant color colors personally always make me think about old cars. Also the filter you used makes it look rusty going with the 50's aspect of your piece and the fact that you are actually in the car looking happy makes it more personal

    I enjoy the theme of combining the old with the new. The reason I like this idea is that my favorite genre of music, and probably the only music I listen to, is 70's and 80's rock. Even though this genre is becoming more popular I like to see the older classics of music and other categories pop into the spotlight.

    I liked how your flash fiction is straight to the point. Your portrait conveys everything your flash fiction is trying it say. You did a great job pairing the right picture with your flash fiction. I also am a car guy and I agree with your message that old school cars with new school technology is the way to go. Overall this is a great read.

    I like the editing on your portrait and your F100 is pretty cool. It shows that you focus more on cars than yourself. Your artist statement really explains the portrait well and I could really relate to it.

You should’ve tried out for the musical, or perhaps even show choir. That’s something you can never go back on. Singing has always been one of your favorite things to do. You should’ve taken more art classes when they were free of charge in high school to find other ways to express yourself. You’ve always wanted to get better at drawing, you know. You should’ve re-joined AYSO, or some other soccer group. You know that soccer was your passion; while club soccer got to be too much and wasn’t your cup of tea, you know AYSO was where you belonged. You should’ve worked harder your junior year. Last year really tanked your GPA and you might not get the salutatorian spot that you’re so close to. You should’ve joined The Plain Brown Wrapper your freshman year and you would’ve had five years of language arts. Even though people tell you those things don’t matter, you know its a failure on your part to fall short on something you very easily could’ve achieved. You knew that these things w...

Overwhelmed

Mikayla Quade Flash Fiction You don’t think your ready to move out or grow up. You finally realize just how difficult life is actually going to be. You think you’ve been living in a perfect world, WAKE UP, it’s just a dream. Now your kind of scared thinking about college and what your next steps going to be. You know in your mind that your current friends might not be the best influence on you. Your very stressed out and wish you could stay a teen forever, never having to grow up. It would be so cool if N ever-Land actually existed because then you wouldn’t have to grow up. But then you realize that’s just wishful thinking. You know you need to start acting your age. Sometimes you wish you could trade places with your younger sister. Her life seems so much easier. You don’t know what you want to be or what you want to do with your life. She already has pretty much everything planned out. She also has better grades than you so you feel stupid sometimes. In gen...

Five Minutes

Flash Fiction: You pushed her too far; no, it was her own decisions. You were too much; she just didn’t know what to do. Your mother is supposed to love you unconditionally; protect you; support you; be there for you. She didn’t do that for you; she walked away, not you. You needed guidance but only got a door in your face. You have five minutes, get out. You needed her. Did she need you? Are you still being selfish? Were you even selfish in the first place? The mind games ache and haunt. Artist Statement: In my self-portrait I decided to have myself behind a glass door; particularly the front door to a house. I did this to represent the part of my flash fiction in which i say, “You needed guidance but only got a door in your face.” I wanted to represent the moment I had to leave my mother’s home. This image gives a little insight into the realities of what happened the day i got kicked out, which is also represented in my flash fiction piece. I used a sad, painful and hurt ...
