Ellen's Stand On The Travel Ban

"That wall has almost no effect on keeping them out."

Ellen's Stand On The Travel Ban
The Ellen Show-Ellentube

The Ellen Show stars Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen is very famous and is known for numerous things. Whether she is trying to explain how to play Heads Up or simply talking to celebrities on her show, she manages to find a way to touch your heart while making you laugh. On a recent episode of The Ellen Show, she spoke about Donald Trump's travel ban (you can watch that here). Being Ellen, she did not explain it how you usually would talk about a travel ban.


Ellen begins to talk about how Donald Trump banned people from seven countries from entering the United States. His ban was not to prohibit only those without green cards, but those who have green cards were also included in this ban. She states how she was not going to talk about it but instead she spoke about her recent movie, Finding Dory.

She describes how Dory is a fish who lives in Australia. Her and her parents are from America. She then points out how her father sounded Jewish but religion does not matter. You can say that she was hinting at how it does not matter who you are or what your background is. All that matters is that you are a human being and have rights. Ellen then goes into how Dory winds up alone behind the Marine Institute, which is a wall that separates the Institute from the ocean water. Plot twist: Dory was separated after trying to find her parents with Marlin and Nemo.

Ellen then states that after Dory got into America, she was separated from her parents. Though both parties are in America and separated, however, Dory found friends to help her. The friends tried to help Dory find where she last saw her parents while Marlin and Nemo's friends tried to help locate Dory. These friends included sea otters, an octopus, Crush, and Squirt. Ellen explains how the friends did not care about the differences between them, they only cared about Dory. They wanted to help her find her parents. She reminds her viewers how if you see someone in need, you are supposed to just help them rather than judge who they are. We need to keep this in mind, whether the situation deals with politics or your average day to day activities.

I loved watching this because it was short in time yet powerful. She did not directly attack the travel ban like most of us would but instead, she related it to a movie most families have seen. I encourage everyone to watch this clip and see how amazing Ellen truly is. Ellen, in my opinion, is a role model. She always ends her shows by saying "be kind to one another" and that is what we should do.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
