Reality Check

This story is about a band called Ghost of Pasha and a bull owner. Through out the story the 2 are constantly being judged by society and it's stress to be normal. The 2 can't seem to figure out if what is going on is a dream or not and the solution is to establish the difference between the truth and your dream even if it means being different from society.

Kids and Money

We watched a video about young kids that live in Los Angeles and how much it is to keep up with their high fashioned styles. Each kid lived in a different type of class. One boy was poor, yet he spent ever paycheck on clothes so that he could fit the style. As oppose to some 12 year old girls who lived in Calbasas, who owned everything from true religions to rock and republic jeans. I felt like these kids were so spoiled, they got anything they wanted whenever they wanted. It just shows how our society will do anything to fit in, even if it means spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of jeans that won't fit in the next couple weeks.
