Pages from my journal #5

I think that what makes a good first impression is to honestly be yourself and not try to act different. A good first impression makes a difference on how they see you the very first time they meet you. Main key would be using your manners being polite. Don't be rude or anything like that.

Something I would change right now was changing my sleeping schedule because it is hard for me to wake up at 8:40 everyday for school. Something else I would change would be not really caring about peoples words or their negativity and really ignore them and be me.

I think what makes a person hardcore is when they are rude or have this edge to their personality. I think that what makes a person gentle would be being caring or really nice and having a lot of patience. I think that these qualities can be both innated and learned because you can learn  bad habits by someone you look up to.

Essay Fahrenheit 451

       The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is basically about these type of people more like a society. This society is so sad and like depressing almost like boring. Basically reading is like against the law and firefighters burn down the books. One day Montag is walking and comes across Clarisse. Clarisse is different. This is where the story than connects to book The pedestrian where the man who was just walking at night was Clarisse's uncle she talks about how the police arrested him because they thought he was crazy and weird for just walking at night.     This book has things going on that you really wouldn't see going on. Like firefighters burning down books because its against the law. I feel like they burn down the books because what is in them is reality and they don't want to face it and they want things to go a certain way. That's why Clarisse is so different her and her family. Slowly Montag realizes how sad his life is.      I like to think as Clarisse

Final Reflection Essay

     This semester was unlike no other. I definitely did not see my junior year starting like this. It has been like a roller coaster with a lot of ups and some downs. What made this course different was that we didn't use canvas so I had to get used to making a blog and posting on it. I think what I found most meaningful was that Dr. Preston was so nice and understanding. Unlike some other teachers who would probably get mad if students still did not  have a blog he would stay longer with them to help them make a blog. Dr. Preston really made learning easier and time went by fast. I think that what I am most proud of would probably be my essay on the story  Fahrenheit 451. I think I am most proud of it because of how the story connected to the story The Pedestrian and how I reacted to it. It had caught me by surprise when I heard how they connected. It was like a wow moment for me. Something I would do differently would be being consistent with posting on my blog from the beginni

Pages from my journal #7

 December 7th  JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tune: " War " by Edwin Starr]  In the background of Fahrenheit 451, there is a war looming.  I mention this because today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.  Before 9/11, Pearl Harbor was the deadliest attack on United States soil. Sadly, there are many examples of this sort of destruction throughout history.  Why do you think people resort to this type of violence? I think they resort to violence because they have built up anger. They just choose to let out their anger in a violent matter.  December 8th   JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tune: " Lose Yourself " by Eminem] George Bernard Shaw  was a famous author who wrote more than sixty plays and won a Nobel Peace Prize for his writing.  He was known for having a pretty sharp wit, and at some point he decided to take teachers down a peg by saying, "Those who can't do, teach."  Shaw was dead wrong about me - I teach writing, and my latest book is coming out in Fe
