Kanye's scene known as the "dark fantasy" is self-explanatory. It's dark, and he is running from something. Most likely the explosions, and blasts. The scene switches to a car being driven with explosions of orange bursts. Is this supposed to mean some kind of high standing? Kanye is seen rescuing an alien female who has plenty of feathers. This gives off the idea that women are like "birds". It would make sense, after all we use the term "chick" to refer to a female. The scene is at the beginning to add a sense of curiosity. What is the woman? Is she human? What relationship will she have with Kanye? All the questions will begin to circulate. Allowing the audience to gain an interest. Vivid colors are apparent to draw the audience in, humans after all are attracted to "things" that are eye catching. In a way this may, cause the audience to *NOT* pause the video.

My High School Epiphany
Senior year was my favorite year
of high school. Although it was just a few months ago I really do miss it. I
remember staying up all night just to hangout with my friends and study. There
was one time specifically where we would all do community service. We helped
out at elementary schools, and assisted different organizations. One event that
I felt was most memorable was working at an elementary school’s “Halloween
Festival”. It was so much fun! We were in charge of doing activities for the
little kids. We had them make witches, and jack-o-lanterns, and even gave out
candy! Just watching their gleaming smiles light up and their small hands as
they hold a large amount of candy felt so self-rewarding. It may sound strange
but our idea of “hanging out” was volunteering. Some other events we did
involved helping out with the elderly, I remember working in an institution
with people who had mental illnesses, and honestly what some of these people
had was serious, but the majority of the people were normal. All these
activities help shape my own view of the world and I find it so helpful that I
can come out each day with a new kind of knowledge. Looking back now, a few
months later, I realize that all my stress as a high school senior was mended
by the fact that I could make another person’s day better. Life is too short to
worry about tomorrow (constantly). Rather, think about the greater point of
life and enjoy every moment of it. I personally view it as a field of daisies
where everything is all happy and nice (or maybe I’m just daydreaming now). The
point, I believe, is that if someone—perhaps you—are facing any kind of problem
where there is a feeling of lost hope, take a step back and get out of your
tunnel vision. Give back to the people who are less fortunate than you. Then maybe
you’ll realize that there will always be a tomorrow, and no matter what even if
tomorrow isn’t exactly the next day, that day WILL come.
