It’s just other day..

I hate how my parents argue because they stay mad at each other for a while and it feels like the family is falling apart /: I really don’t know who to go to whenever something happens at home. It’s hard to explain my situations now.. all I want is to be happy with life I’m no longer the same jannet as before

Mother's day #1

“20 days left of school “

Today I saw the whiteboard of a teacher and it said “20 days of school left ! Incentive I saw that sign it got me to because that means college applications, scholarships,Senior Year, senior night, getting a job, driving and learning how to handle the adult life and starting my own life by my own! Just so crazy..

Fahrenheit 451

I’m around Part 2 in the book of Fahrenheit 451. Where Montag is on the subway reading the first few passages of the Bible

Dr Preston’s Essasy

 Reading your essay was pretty cool and interesting because most teachers always forget about their college life or once they started their career. While reading the first few paragraphs about how whenever we read something over and over again we always think something new about the story. I think a lot of us can relate to that because we’ll have the same ideas from when we started reading the book the first time and just get new information. I know that always happens to me

A STEP AHEAD OF THE HOUND

1. What did Montag do at the Blacks' house? He hides the books that he has been carrying in the black’s kitchen    2. How does Faber describe the war? 3. Describe Faber's TV. 4. What was on TV while Montag was on the run? 5. What was Montag running for when everyone looked out of their houses?

APRIL 16 - Journal Topic

 I didn't read over the weekend because i missed Thursday and Friday. Whenever i ask people "oh what did i missed in this class? then they would say look at his blog and to be honest with you i actually saw the blog but i didn't know where am i suppose to go to get the reading done.

Essay

       "So we beat on boats against the current,borne ceaselessly into the past" was the last sentence of "The Great Gatsby" by F.Scott Fitzgerald , That being the last line of the book was very important because it define the Great Gatsby because if you keep talking/thinking about the past then you will never move forward and for me this book seems to relate to it since Jay Gatsby felt like he was living the past while others were moving forward. He also threw a lot of parties at this house just so people can think good about him. Throughout the book Gatsby did loved daisy a lot and he tried to get Daisy to tell her husband Tom to say she loves Gatsby and never loved him and to leave him as well. I still believe that J. Gatsby is still living the past because he tried getting daisy to love him back since Gatsby really loved her a lot.   Gatsby would be better if he stops trying to change the past and forgets about the past because then he wouldnt be feeling

Love ❤️

In today’s journal topic , it was talking about love songs and love. One of my love song is “baby I’m back by Baby Bash and Akon . Those are one of my favorite songs because it takes me back to the first time I met my boyfriend and the loving moments with each other . I fall in love with him even more whenever I listen to that song . Having this journal topic was pretty interesting because I had to think of a right song

"I, SOCRATES" Jaunary 12

The past few days in my English was interested because a lot of people of our class actually talk. We had a lot of topics that we went over and many people just gave their opinions of it. I like how many of us agree with one of other or just disagree  and say something much better to support the topic

Music Literature : January 11

My  notes in the    Socratic Seminar , some questions that were asked are "Is it fair to say these songs were by paul simon ?    Arturo says it is 50% and 50% that paul & afriacans had made the songs    I disagree with arturo because paul was the first one to make those type of songs #2    Explain how Simon created something new by going back to the roots of a musical genre  jazzy was found in  1920's , southern roots and parts of salivary #3 Can we describe music as literature?why or why not?  you can because it gives you an image . Iit is literature because when youre playing it , you can actually hear it . like if its talking about a family with problems and its part of the song then you can tell whos that part or however it goes.
