This video is set in present-day city in Asia. The characterization is a young Asian girl is deaf and somewhat shy; she doesn’t feel like she fits in with everyone else.The internal conflict us that the deaf girl feels like she doesn’t belong and wants to be more  like everyone else.The external conflict is that the “normal” girl makes fun of a deaf girl trying to learn music. She thinks the deaf girl is being stupid and useless. The male violinist symbolizes what the girl hopes to be in the future. The protagonist is the deaf girl.The antagonist is the “normal” girl.The irony in this story occurs when the deaf girl blows everyone’s mind at the performance. She is the best violin player there. The climax happens when the announcer on stage declares that there is one more performance. And finally, the theme is: You can do anything that you set your mind to.

The Lyre bird is quite a gifted animal. I think it is amazing how the bird can imitate so many different sounds with such accuracy. When the bird began to make the noises of humans it caught me off guard though. Yes, at first, I thought maybe the people who made the video had just edited the sounds into it. It is crazy that the bird has heard those sounds so many times that it can imitate them perfectly. This shows how often humans are in contact with this creature, while taking pictures and cutting down trees. It is sad to realize that this bird is interfered with by humans so often. As a society, we only think about up-sizing and never the effects it has on the environment and wildlife surrounding us. If all Americans cared about the environment and actually believed that it should be preserved, things would be a lot different everywhere. Realistically, our nation would probably have not existed if we decided to never mess with wildlife. I guess the issue really comes down to this: Do you care more about the development and luxury of your life or the comfort and stability of nature?
