In the image “Media Flies” by Daryl Cagle, there is a group of black protesters with signs that say “Stop killing us” and “Stop police violence.” In front of the protesters there is a group of flies, flying around a pile that reads “Riots and looting.” The flies represent the media, which only focuses on riots and looting, instead of focusing on the bigger picture. The protesters behind are being ignored by the media, while they focus on the riots and looting. In the past weeks, the media was mainly covering the riots and looting. Some didn’t give enough information behind the riots and looting. Some only covered the protests which ended up in violence. The media only focuses on that because it’s what gets the attention of people, getting them a larger audience. They don’t care about what is actually happening, they just care about what people can see on the surface, while the real problem is left in the background.

In the image “Looters” by Steve Nease, it shows a looter holding a tv and Donal Trump holding the Declaration of Independence. The artist is portraying Trump as a looter because he is stealing protester’s freedom by sending military to suppress the protests. The Declaration of Independence gives citizens the right to protest so there should be no reason for Trump to send the military. In the future, I would like for there to be more protests to fight for the oppressed.

In the image "MEDIA FILES" by Daryl Cagle, it shows a group of protesters with signs and a bunch flies representing different news/media feeding on shit. What the artists is trying to say is that the media doesn't want to show the group of people protesting, instead they show the riots and looting because they think it's more newsworthy. It's just giving a bad name to the people that are actually trying to protest, people that watch the news will start to think that everyone that is protesting will turn violent. What I hope to see in the future for the US, is that everyone is treated with respect and equality. I know it will take time, but it can happen.

In the 5th image, Which shows 5 protesters protesting for rights and on the bottom it shows a pile of excrement that says "riots and looting" with the flies as news. I think it shows how society is used to seeing the bad things of people, they make us look like the bad people so they could keep their heroic reputation.The news showed more about looting and rioting than protests, and that says a lot about America's ideals.

In the image normal vs new normal, it shows a car coming to a split road in which the old normal road is closed off and they are force to take the new normal road in which they question what they will find on their journey. I think this image shows how this year has really brought a different aspect of what is to come. There is a lot more wonder and a lot more curiosity as to what’s going to happen in the next few months leading up until next year and there’s a lot of hope and awareness that comes from the people and the government really doesn’t care so it’s like the people are taking this journey alone while the government just sits back and despite the people wanting to be heard they aren’t being heard so now our new normal is going to be what’s going on with with the coronavirus and with the protest and wanting to be heard and wanting to get justice for African American community. This image brings to light that we don’t know what’s gonna happen from now on because everything that’s happened so far this year has really been a game changer.all we can really do is hope and pray, protest, and just spread love and positivity towards each other that at the end of all this the new normal is going to represent all people and have Justice and freedom for everyone.

In the image “Media Flies” by Daryl Cagle, they are showing a group of peaceful black protesters holding up signs like “Black Lives Matter” and “Stop Police Violence”. Then there’s a group of flies, that represents the media, who are reporting our protests as riots and looting. Lately the media has been focusing on the ‘riots’ and looting than the peaceful protests that have also been going on. They chose to ignore this and look at the bad side of things when all we want is to be heard. Media outlets like these have always been the type to take things out of context and throw out any reasoning as to why the protestors are doing this. Even though it’s not like this everywhere they make it look like it is. Protestors are only trying to be heard and understood but then they are made as the bad ones.

In the image “Media Flies” by Daryl Cagle, It indicates on what has happen in these day. As it's showing what happen to George Floyd, protesters with signs that say “Stop killing us” and “Stop police violence.” In front of the protesters there is a group of flies, flying around a pile that reads “Riots and looting.” The flies represent the media, which only focuses on riots and looting, instead of focusing on the bigger picture. The protesters behind are being ignored by the media, while they focus on the riots and looting. In the past weeks, the media was mainly covering the riots and looting.

In the image "Media Flies" by Daryl Cagle, there is a group of five African American protestors with signs that say “I can’t breathe”, “Black Lives Matter”, “Stop Killing Us” and more. The protestors are standing around a pile of poop with flies surrounding it. The flies have many News outlets logos on them that focus on riots and looting instead of what really is going on which is the peaceful protests. The protesters are basically being ignored by the “flies” and this represents what has been going on for the past couple of weeks. News outlets have been focusing on the riots and looters and they bad mouth the protesters with the excuse that “they are violent” yet information has been coming to light about the looters and riots. People are rioting because of how bad the police have been treating the protesters. Such as shooting rubber bullets, tear gassing innocent protesters, beating them with their batons and being overly aggressive for no reason.

In the image of the normal and the new normal I see that 2020 has lead us into an open and unknown road but what I am thinking or keeping in consideration is did we stumble upon that road ourselves? Or was this all planned out by the government to add a change into our normal lives? Like everything else it could have been planned because in that case we are going to as always be controlled by the government without us seeing the direct control. Of course the year of 2020 in general was a change in route for everyone around this country. Some people lost their jobs, others had their eyes opened towards police brutality and there are some who are just trying to figure out what is going on. All these changes are due to the pandemic, the protests, mainly all the terrible incidents due to the President of this country. In the end no one knows where this route is going to lead us but we hope that it brings something good when it ends. For the future my biggest hope is to see a new President relected, for the economy to get better, and for more people to start getting their jobs back as well as their normal lives or as much as possible of the normal.

In the image "Media Flies" is a group of people speaking up and fighting for justice while being ignored by all of the NEWS medias because they are too busy focusing on the looters who have nothing to do with the protests and the speaking up. This represents what is currently going on in our world and the amount of unity that is going on within the people while the NEWS outlets are ignoring the important parts of these movements.

In the image, "Looters" by Steve Nease, shows an image of two different looters, one potentially being a citizen that is stealing a wide TV screen and the other being Donald Trump stealing the Constitution of the United States. I think the image is trying to portray that during these protests that is going on around the country shows the different looters. As a person is stealing materials, the president holding the constitution, on the other hand, is taking away the basic rights from the citizens. The Constitution of the United States establish the fundamental laws and guarantee the basic rights of the citizens. In the future, in the USA, I would like to see a newly better president elected, and for the country to come together to solve to the problems that is going RIGHT now.

The second image is trying to show how America is changing. Everything that we used to see as “normal” in our old lives is now going to change into a so called “new normal”. 2020 is a complete different year, a year that our generation hasn’t seen but other generations might have seen. The image is trying to express how the government is trying to make a “new normal” as a way to either manipulate citizens into thinking it’s for their best. 2020 will definitely be a year to remember Leave a Reply. |
