Matt Harding's Connecting to a Global Tribe

Connecting to the tribes of the world

I think that Matt did a fantastic job. I was laughing when I saw the first part, but then I was amazed that how did he manged to get the whole world to dance with him. It must have taken him months organize the video clip. I think that the dancing connects with Tragore's poem and the video clip:'The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.." I that Wherever Matt is in the world, the world is dancing with him. His video was kind of funny the first time he is alone but when people started to join him, I felt that the whole world was alive and was dancing with Matt. I felt when i watched this that we are all connected to the world. I think that the movie is great combined with the poem.

I chose this picture because I can see two people dancing which shows that the world is connected.You can also see a whirl around these figures i which is like the spinning world.

The Night Catcher

Landscape at Céret (Paysage de Céret), Céret, summer 1911

I am the Dream

I am the Dream
Slipping through your sleepless night
Wrapping your mind in vivid bright illusions.

I am the dream,
Inspiring the action of heroes
Leaping into the dark and shadows of your mind
Fading with the morning light.

I am a paradise, priceless
Like a bright splashing waterfall.
Sleepers will seek my protection, and
I will release all of your troubles in the merciless night.

I chose this picture because it looks like a maze. In dreams sleepers can sometimes get trapped in this cubic maze. Picasso's painting here is done in his cubist period which is distorted realities, just like dreams.

Susan Boyle

I thought that Susan couldn’t or didn’t have any talent. I thought that most people make judge by the look but I think that the inside is the most important part to judge a person. I was surprised and felt sorry how people threatened her during the beginning.All of the audience were laughing and then they, were astonished that she sung beautifully during the show.

I think that the poem that Langston Hughes wrote meant, to keep all of the dreams that you have inspired, and don’t let go. I think that these people were special and have talents, and that Susan wanted to share her gift to the world.
