AN ACT OF KINDNESS

A little short message : It's the little things that matter . Once in a while it feels good to give someone a positive generous message and it’s an amazing feeling .

Small Problem

We always come across some problems but sometimes their just small problems that we can easily solve , though sometimes we make it hard on ourselves to solve the problem when there is a simple solution to it , we just need to use our brain the right way to think or need someone else's help. For example: A while back I was having trouble with my tablet , it wouldn't connect to the WiFi and so I tried restarting my tablet three times , refreshing the network , troubleshooting to see what was the problem and nothing worked , then one day in class I figured I need some help with my tablet because I couldn't find any solution to it anymore and so I thought maybe another person could help and I knew someone that could probably help me . After class I went over to my teacher and told him about the problem and I remembered the first thing he said was " For starters , check your date and time" and so I checked and for sure they were not set to the right time zone , I went ...

My Learning Is Lit

This year I learned the following terms and I applied them as I read some pretty great stuff: Allusion-A reference that an author makes towards something. Plot-The way a story is told. Theme-A background of a topic or story. Diction-The way of words being expressed . Syntax-How words are organized in a sentence. In/direct characterization: Indirect characterization is when an author says something straight out specifically towards a character in the story or to something. Direct Characterization is when the author doesn’t say anything straight out and keeps it mysterious. Static/dynamic characters- The way of how characters are throughout a story. A static character is a character who doesn’t change through out a story . For example, Tom from “ The Great Gatsby “ is a character who is wealthy ignorant man himself so he stays the same throughout the story because of his personality and state of mind . A dynamic character is a character who doesn’t stay the same throughout th...

FEAR

Fear is my biggest enemy. It stops me from doing things that will have a good impact of change in my life. I ask myself why do I let my FEAR get a hold of me . I realized that I have never really faced it , I've always taken the easy way out but I know inside of me I don't want to be that way . If there is a next time , I'm pretty sure there will be a next time of facing my fear and this is because I've heard a saying that goes " Courage is not being brave , it's being scared and still doing it anyways " , this really got to me to stand up and face my fear it gave me determination . Let me tell you a long-short of my experience that relates to the " Fear " I had and still have . I've always have wanted to join something that would be beneficial to me , that I would like to do , in general be involved but my fear always get's the best of me . This time that I had an opportunity too attend a meeting of Link Crew Leadership  that I would l...

MONTAG KILLS

This is an explanation of my own to why Montag turned the flamethrower on Beatty . Montag kills Beatty because Beatty knows about his stash of books that are hidden and takes Montag to his own house to burn it , he makes Montag burn his own house and then mentions about Faber most likely in a threatening way , also Beatty gives him a flamethrower that was used to burn the house but as Monatg is holding the flamethrower he switches it over to Beatty and then burns him to his death.

Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuges " , this means he is talking about two things and those are about the government and the people who love books . 3. Describe Faber's Tv. - Faber's Tv is small as the size of a small card. 4. What was on Tv while Montag was on the run? - What was on Tv while Montag was on the run was a " Chase" , Montang being televised . 5. What was Montag running for when everyone looked out their windows ? - Montag was running for the river to get pass through , to get away.

THE CHASE IS ON

1. Why did the Hound attack Montag? - The Hound attacked Montag because he kills Beatty , so he is now a wanted person. 2. How did Montag defend himself ? - Montag defended himself with a flamethrower attacking the hound with it . 3. What did Montag realized about Beatty? - What Montag realized about Beatty was that Beatty wanted to die so he got Montag into killing him. 4.

BIG QUESTION / IGNITE TALK

Why cant there just be peace in this world ? I feel like I can't get a proper answer out of this question but what I did get from this question was information ,so I went and asked family and friends on what they thought on my BIG QUESTION and one response that caught my attention was " Because each state of mind is different " - " but If we go out of our way to help someone " that can make a small positive change in this world and in life later on it can reflect on others and that can change of how you think and the world can probably be a little much better place .

INSIDE OUT

  Prufrock and Gatsby are different on the inside by Prufrock being acerbic which is sharp and forthright and Gatsby being cripple which is being caused secure and having problems and also Prufrock he recognizes when something blocks his way of view  and chooses to still accept it. I on the other side do see that people are different in the inside because sometimes a person appears happy when inside they are actually sad feeling completely different , sometimes we just don't notice this.

WILD WEDNESDAY

During class I took the extra time that was left in class to research some scholarships and job requirements so I could know ahead of time what colleges offered what I wanted specifically. This is a great step towards my future because by doing this it is helping me along the path towards something I really want. Preferably somewhere in the medical field.

Sunrise

It's beautiful to see a sunrise early in the morning . The feeling of fresh wind brushing against my face sends chills to my skin.  While watching the sun rise up behind the mountains it also feels relaxing knowing it's freedom to see something amazing. A warm feeling overcomes me while seeing rose pink purple ish mixed form in the sky . This gives me a thought that life is beautiful. A new morning , a new day , where you can start the day fresh and that starts by seeing the sunrise early morning . Sun starting to shine brighter as the sunrise is rising more up and slowly fades into a shiny bright morning and day .

MUSIC AS LITERATURE

" Create meaning " that's all language does! A way of creating a two people facial expressions /body language . Verbal-Convey meaning Pera Verbal- A voice of speech that don't have to do what were saying. Non-Verbal- facial expressions/body language Volume is one thing Pauses are very effectively .

This is my thought in this that if we can consider music to be literature for those reasons. / The difference between a novel , poem ,rap , song , an opera and symphony is that they all have different verbal , pera verbal , non-verbal and volume so that is used in a different way because many things expr...

ACCOMPLISH

What I hope to accomplish by June 2018 is to get more knowledge of other stuff than I already know . I guess I can say become a successful student with decent good grades at least and be more of a active person that is more involved more into my education . Also, on how to explain myself  better on things so people have a better understanding of what I try to say and make sense of .

THE ROAD

The Road to my Big Question is not quite easy . There are times where I think I found the answer to it and I did but not close enough to be for sure . It's not easy finding an answer to a question if it concerns you and interest you well depending on the type of question . On a side I know with my knowledge I have it will help me answer it . I got interested in the topic by knowing this question would help me .

BIG QUESTION

How can I find it in myself of what I would love to do as a career ?      That is my Big Question .      I ask myself this question because it always seems to roam around in my mind . A question that I always had because I know I have to know soon before my time runs out in high school before I'm released out into the open world . I have to choose something to do in the future to know which path to take so this is why it interests me . I want to find the answer to it .
