Baby, you're a firework!!!! Are you a firework?... mmmm. Let's see.. how are fireworks?.. what words would you use to describe a firework?.. During this week we discussed fireworks in class. We Googled the word and we got:
Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display. A fireworks event (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics) is a display of the effects produced by firework devices. Fireworks competitions are also regularly held at a number of places. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Displays are common throughout the world and are the focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations. (this was taken from wikipedia)
Well, in Venezuela as well as in the United States and many parts of the world, people love fireworks. You can see an aerial fireworks show at an amusement park, baseball game, Fourth of July celebration (in the U.S.A) or on New Year's Eve. Fireworks have a special and beautiful magic all their own -- a good show is absolutely amazing.
After reading and discussing about Fireworks we ended up with a list of words and phrases:
This is from wikipedia:
* aesthetic an entertainment purposes.* fireworks display, fireworks event, fireworks show
* noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example)
* burn with colored flames and sparks: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver
* focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations.
These are student's adding to the list:
* Beautiful * Interesting* Happy * Brilliant
* Shiny * Sparky
* Warm * Dazzling
* Amazing * Surprising
* Inspiring *fantastic
*hopeful *awesome
* Expensive * Dangerous
* Noisy * Explosive
If you want to see what all these words and expression mean, just press ALT + click on the right button of the mouse and you'll see the definition and have the chance to listen and practice the pronunciation of the word you are curious about. Like in the picture:
Now, watch the following video by Katty Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting thought the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
......Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

I like this song. I think that gives us a very good lesson to all!
In my opinion this video is very interesting. It shows situations that are seen daily on persons dealing with self confodence issues that feel rejected and have no hope to live. The mesaage that this video brings us is that we must be ourselves without worring about what other people say or think of us, we must be confidents about what we are and what we feel and think.
Do you know that there's still a chance for you Cause there's a spark in you.
I like this sentence because sometimes we don't know us the important that is to show the spark in you... this means find what you're worth.

I think that we are all unique in our way of life, despite all the differences, because each one creates his life of a way unique and incomparable.
"You are original, cannot replaced". this is the phrase that we should think.

I love the video because it is important that we all understand whatwe are and how much we are worth and never cease to shinedespite the problems that we have the part I liked most was the end of the video because the four stories have a nice final and myfavorite phrase is ''If you only knew what the future holds after a hurricane comes a rainbow''
