Macklemore Presentation

Macklemore and Lewis released their debut studio album The Heist on October 9, 2012, which charted at number 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The pair won four Grammy Awards at the 2014 ceremony, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Album (The Heist), Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance ("Thrift Shop"). Their second album, This Unruly Mess I've Made, was released on February 26, 2016. His second solo studio album, Gemini, was released on September 22, 2017.


During his career, Macklemore have had a lot of hits that they had an important impact on the American society: Thrift Shop, Can’t Hold Us, On my way… But today I’m gonna focus only in two of them: Can’t Hold Us and Wing$.
I’m pretty sure that the 70% or 80% people of this class, you have heard this song almost 1 time. It was launched the 16th August of 2011. Macklemore didn’t release this song alone, so he collaborated with Ryan Lewis and they did this spectacular single. The genre of Can’t Hold Us is Hip-Hop and R&B and it’s from the album the Heist.


Wing$ was launched the 21th January of 2011. Ryan Lewis collaborated with Macklemore and they did this single. The genre of wing$ is alternative Hip-Hop. What does this song mean? Well, this song wants to warn and educate us about problems in society and consumerism. But in this song Macklemore wants to criticize Nike (and the models: Air max, Nike Air Flight) and Addidas, saying that 100$ for a pair of shoes is too much.
These phrases tolds us everything that we have to know…
1. It means that we always want the most expensive thing because we think that expensive things are the best ones, and that’s not true. What's the difference between a pair of shoes worth a hundred dollars and a pair of shoes that costs 40$, maybe the material is different, but both pairs are shoes…
2. This sentence is like this other one that appears in the song: “We want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it”
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it”. These two sentences mean that we want everything, including what we can’t have and commodity makes us want it and if it’s expensive, we want it even more.
3. The third sentence means that if we buy something we want to show what we have bought. We want to boast and make other people feel envy like: “I have it and you don’t”.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD If there’s one thing we must be concerned of, that thing is the evolution of food. Looking 50 years f orward, the only thing I can see is the change in the way of eat. I think we won’t eat with a knife and a fork so we’ll eat with some other new utensils. The moo-free meat is a perfect solution to start producing a lot of meat without killing those poor a nd def enseless animals. If this tech is developed, we will be able to create different types of meat. I don’t think Bug burgers will prosper because people hates eating insects. One movement that’s taking force is the vegan process. Every day more people are involving themselves to be vegan. Being vegan means that you won’t be able to eat or drink anything that provides from an animal: eggs, fish, cheese, milk… In conclusion, we can say that the world of the food will change a lot in the future and we won’t be pre par ed for it. IS THIS THE END OF THE CASH? I think

The best holidays I've ever been on

My best holidays were in Oslo. My friends and I went there to spend one week. The first day we were worried about the time that we will have in Oslo, but when we arrive there we changed our minds and we had a great time. The first two days we stayed in Oslo, visiting the principal museums, going shopping… The rest of the week we went into a small village on the north of Norway called Milako. This small village was in the mountains and we did alpinism there. One night we stayed outside to see the stars and it was fantastic! Finally, we returned to Banyoles with a great experience.

Sleepy Hollow

Imatge
 HALLOWEEN FILM: SLEEPY HOLLOW PLOT In 1799, New York City police constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is deployed to the Westchester County hamlet of Sleepy Hollow, New York, which has been plagued by a series of brutal slayings in which the victims are found decapitated: Peter Van Garrett (Martin Landau), a wealthy farmer; his son Dirk; and the widow Emily Winship. Crane learns that locals believe the killer is the undead apparition of a headless Hessian mercenary (Christopher Walken) from the American Revolutionary War who rides a black steed in search of his missing head. Crane begins his investigation, remaining skeptical about the paranormal elements until he actually encounters the Headless Horseman, who kills the town magistrate, Samuel Phillipse (Richard Griffiths). Boarding at the home of the town's richest family, the Van Tassels, Crane is taken with their daughter, Katrina (Christina Ricci). Crane and Young Masbath, the son of one of the Horseman's victims,
