ProBasic Spreading Smiles Across The Globe

Throughout the course of my high school life, my group and I have realized that enjoyment has been an emotion with very little things to suffice its everlasting hunger. Without this emotion however, the people among us will become especially gloomy towards each other eventually developing into entities more like zombies than man. Fortunately, one of the only ways to appease this ferocious hunger, is through entertainment. Entertainment for a very long time has accompanied man in his timeless fight against boredom and sadness. And for this specific reason, we, the Brians and I, created Probasic. ProBasic’s one purpose is to entertain the common human population allowing them to feel relieved from their everyday disappointments and to basically brighten their day even of it’s by the smallest amount.IMG_9583

As a group our original problem was overpopulation, but later as we continued on in this project, we realized that the world really doesn’t need anything to fix its population, but instead a way to make its population happier and more content with life. And with this thought, we decided that this world needs more entertainment to make the people all around us smile and laugh more often. Through this process, ProBasic was innovated with the sole purpose of entertaining anyone who just wants a quick smile or laugh. e173eed95329c13b4cd3fa11e98e404a.png

The process of this project was not easy. We, ProBasic, had to struggle towards the  completion of this assignment the whole time. We had to plan everything out and most of the time it took many attempts until we would finally complete a trick shot.

 

Throughout the process of the creation of this video, our group stumbled upon many obstacles, but nothing was every too hard to overcome. Occasionally we attempted at a trick shot that was a little beyond our skill level, but it would be fine, because then we would just skip it and move onto the next one. This seemed to work, because the more attempts we made at different trick shots, it would then allow us to come across an even more interesting trick shot then the one before. Altogether though, I believe that in the end, our group was able to accomplish our goal of entertaining the average human and spreading even the tiniest bit of joy around the world.

Paul Bäumer: The Compassionate Soldier

There were many characters within the novel “All Quiet on The Western Front”, by Erich Maria Remarque, but Paul Bäumer was the most compassionate out of any of the other soldiers within the book. He created multiple friendships with numerous soldiers during the war and had a heart-breaking encounter with an enemy soldier which he had shortly killed before his sad interaction. Paul killed him, because the war had changed him from a kind person into a primitive animal which has the instinct to kill or be killed. This was in order to survive the front and to maintain his sanity. However, Paul isn’t able to maintain this state of detachment from his emotions when the people around him that cares about begin to die, due to the fact that he is still young and sensitive.

This brought me hope, because even when Paul was forced to kill others to survive, he still thought about the loved ones of the people he killed. During his encounter with the French soldier, he attempted to save his life by bandaging him up, but this only extended the French soldiers life for a couple of hours. As these hours passed by, Paul sat there, talking to the French Soldier. The French soldiers name was Gérard Duval and they talked about his family. He was a printer by trade and Paul’s resolve was to send his family money. However, as time passed by Paul’s primal war instincts told him to return back to his trench. And in the end breaks his promise with the French soldier.

Even though Paul didn’t keep his promise, it still proves that soldiers, even when fighting against each other, still feel emotions of guilt and concern for one another. This gives me hope towards a better world, because when people take care of each other it proves that all of us are connected and that we will stand together during desperate times of need.
