Let me walk you through 'The Pedestrian'

Literally the story is really about someone going for a walk and getting arrested and then the car driving off, how do I know, we talked about it in class :), but still the story somehow has a hidden message no one really knows about. I mean it really was all confusing because Ii thought it was just another story we read in class, no, it actually is something important, (not that anything else is important in class), but it had a sad example of something (don't know what that something is but its something) and at the end having a hidden message, like, "hey look,this is what goes on in our minds when we get over thrown and sad and discouraged and dishonored and disowned or just simply have depression because we don't have the or enough power to behold life." Look another story of reaching to world and telling the people to change for the world to change. When the character gets arrested, the self driving car (if you have no idea what I am talking about, go look at m...

So this guy goes for a walk

This typing is one terrible typing about a description of why the author Ray Bradbury wrote the story, "The Pedestrian." How the story is one about a world we would not like to be in or even see. 2053, that is the date this story is based on. I guess its a future but it is also the past. Self-Driving cars too, the future. A house with many windows and rooms and a lined with other houses, the past. This story is like a shuffle mix on a playlist of your songs. This story is something, OK I know this is going to be out of nowhere, but this story can somehow be a Twilight Zone.

The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online

The over all point of this article is like a guide, manual tech guide on how to be a good host doe the online. But not really one for real life. It also gives out examples and evidence of what to do and what not to do. Who knew there was a guide for holding conversations online??

Same words different people

I talked to my table mate about vocabulary we have in class and he choose illusion for standing out to him the most. He chose this because you can see whats true and whats not. For I chose Characterization and Individualism because they represent what roles we play in life.

Meet my new Vocabulary

These Vocab words are ones that stand out to me the most and I will tell you what they represent to me.  1)Characterization- This word is first on my list because it has a lot of meaning to it and those meanings are the important meanings.  It represents what you are and who you are. 2)Alliteration- Represents sort of like another level of well English. Its makes you sound very grown up and professional but also fun at the same time, can't be too serious but takes action when needed to. 3) Schema- This word is just unique. It sounds unique. Looks unique. Its pretty. 4) Allusion- OK I got confused with this one because its totally the opposite of what I thought first. Represents being mad in a professional way. 5) Diction- Represents my words. Sort of like the boss of all my words. 6) Ace- Represents the highest of what I am good at. 7) Symbolism- Represents what I believe. 8) Individualism-Represents who I am. 9) Myth- Represents what  I believe in my im...

How I Read

NOTES: "the philosophy the elevates things done without self-interest above things done for pay" Armatures-love what they do we love what we do we armatures Dead Poet Society 'Point in history its easier to portray that idea in a movie' SCHOPENHAUER 'ensure successful outcomes on exams,transcripts, etc.' 'intellect free of any worldly agenda' 'account for our understanding' ' DO THINGS YOU DO 'superficial and undeveloped' IMPRESSION: 'How We Read' is a very well read essay, I like how it gives the opposite of the title, because most of it was about really not anyone professional and being amateurs and how we are amateurs at what we love to do.

Hawthorne & Poe on Dreams

Hawthorne's story "Young Good Man Brown" and Poe's poem "A Dream Within A Dream." These two, well i don't really have a title for these two, i mean i might es well call them stories or just sayings because of how they are, are really life long lectures about what you do and what can happen. They really give a big impact because they talked about what happens and is beyond life itself. For "Young Good Man Brown," it is a story about what happens after you die. For "A Dream Within a Dream," it is about your imagination and what you want to happen but it can only just your dream but you want that dream to be real. These two are very unique and very wise. They are kind of like a guide for you, through what you go through anything in life.

Investing in Me

How I will start fundraising my life is too keep going with the job I will probably have by then and probably get into more activities in life or get a second job. Activities that will help me get to the other side of the world. I will also work on time management because I am pretty sure that I will need that a lot later on in the future. Will also start with plans for my life, I will make sure to be prepared. Once I know I am all set, I will start to take action.

Letter to a mentor draft 1

Dear Coach Vargas,           Thank you for 10 x 50's that make me wanna die but if it wasn't for them, I probably would not be fast. I still remember how I got first place for the first time in my life!!!, but I think I can work harder and improve more. Thanks to swim ever since my freshman year, I would probably be still stuck on finding myself and thank you to set you have do, that was a great wake up call. I really love how organized you are and just how you are in general. Its pretty cool hanging out with you and for being our coach. I would love to learn how to control my breath for every breaststroke. I am really looking forward to this years swim team. Thank you Vargas.
