Car Raid Story

Car Raid Story- Uncle Todd

When one enters the weather beaten pickup truck of Todd Joyner, they are immediately met with the stench of cigarette smoke. It hits like a wall, while the Febreze car vent clip does little to mask the odor. He often smokes to relieve himself of the stress caused by day after day of driving cross country to deliver parts and machinery. One will also inevitably puzzle at the disorderly pile of tools scattered behind the front seat. He often finds himself fixing appliances around the house and other odd jobs his friends and family ask of him. Despite his own preoccupations, Todd is constantly willing to help others. He utilizes long drives and mechanical tasks as a chance to clear his head. His cup holder contains a can of Dr.Pepper. He would describe it as half full, in compliance with his optimistic lifestyle. He has seen many hardships: poverty, homelessness, a single mother, and being responsible for himself and his two younger brothers from a very young age. He uses smoking and caffeine to cope with stress, as can be seen in the smoke wrenched air and the many soda cans strewn throughout the vehicle. Despite the trespasses, Todd constantly wears a smile. His troubles taught him that he must work hard for everything he wants, and he appreciates even the littlest things in life. He keeps a picture next to the cup holder of his car. It features his two children, Crystal and Justin Joyner, when they were very young at the beach with their father. It shows a much younger Todd grinning and looking at his children affectionately. He speaks fondly of his family, and often he stresses that in the end, family is all that really matters. Though they are all grown, Todd continues to help and look out for his two brothers, John and Tim. He also draws strength from a picture of him and his girlfriend, Tracy, that also sits in his cup holder. In the photo, the couple appears next to Mickey Mouse at Disney Land. They are both to his left, while Tracy puts her arm around Todd, and he affectionately shows bunny ears above her head. This photo shows the fun and whimsical side of Todd, which sharply contrasts the depressed image typically assigned to those who endured hardships. When asked how he managed to get through rough times he stated that, "As long as I have the ones that I love by my side, I can overcome any obstacles." Though he struggles with addiction and gets lonely on the long deliveries his work requires of him, Todd is kind, funny, compassionate, and always willing to lend a helping hand. His life has taught him that everyone needs help sometimes, and he's made it his mission to help whoever is in need and to protect his family.

3. How much time do you spend in the car?
What is the significance of the items in your car?
Is this how your car looks most often?
How do you describe yourself as a person?
What item has been in your car the longest?
4. I will write down what I find in the car, describe the item, describe its location, and how all these relate to the owner.

CE 6.3

1. Whole Foods was preparing a countersuit, but they aren't going through with it because the pastor admitted his claims were false and apologized.
2. A baby bison had to be euthanized after two tourists decided it looked cold and put it in the back of their car.
3. Geofilters are designs or icons that can be applied to photos or videos taken within the app Snapchat to show the user's location.
4. It is significant that Warren Buffett bought 9.8 million shares of Apple stock because he typically avoided tech companies due to the fact it is hard to know which will do well long term.
5. Captain America: Civil War, The Jungle Book, Money Monster, The Darkness, and Mother's Day were the 5 top grossing movies this week.
Short Answer: I would probably go to Harry Potter World over Disney World. I am a huge fan of the books and movies, and it seems like Harry Potter World has a lot more unique and memorable attractions. Because of Universal Studios's quality rides and recent upgrades the two theme parks may be rivaling for first place. My favorite Disney character would probably be Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She was always kind, she saw the best in people, she could think for herself, and she continued to read and support her father even when the entire village called her odd. I would belong to the house Ravenclaw because I value intelligence a lot, and my abilities are largely analytical.

Merger Photo

1. It could be a problem in the merger photo if the subject is not equal distant from its self, if lighting or the scene changes, or if the camera is a different distance or angle between photos.
2. It would be great to do this behind the school because the natural background is scenic and not many people are walking around behind it.
3. I could do something where it looked like there was motion, like go from standing still, to shots of more and more motion.
4. I could wear something that isn't too loose, so it won't change form throughout the shots.

Final Exam Planning Warm Up

1. I would like to shoot this assignment this weekend
2. I would shoot at my house
3. I would like to do it about my sister and her preparing for dance and competitions, but I may have to find a new subject if she is unavailable.
4. I would need a camera and hopefully a tripod.
5. I will use the photos more in the beginning, and videos near the end to show her finished routines and what she has accomplished. My narration will be mainly during still images so I don't interrupt what is going on in the video.
