Rumors

The latest rumor I heard I think I believed. the person who "started" the rumor spread it to everyone. So I guess the person who spread the rumor was in control because the person the rumor was about couldn't do anything about it.

thursday Aug, 27

I lost trust in someone that I used to consider family. She told someone who I am very close with, that i said something about her that wasn't true. It hurt because i'm not the type of person who would talk about someone behind their back, and because I never would have expected that from someone who i am very close with. They haven't regained my trust yet because that's not something you can earn qucikly. It takes time.

The Power of the Individual

The Crucible: john proctor- he changed society because he was going to let his wife pay for his mistakes because he wanted to make it seem like he lived a perfect life, but in the end he decided to let it be known and he got hanged.  

The Night Thoreau Spent in jail: Henry David Thoreau- He changed society because he didn't have the same beliefs as everybody else and he was willing to go to jail for what he believes in.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Huck changed society because he helped a "runaway slave" when nobody else would and he grew as a person throughout the whole book.

Science and Technology

Science and technology are seen as progress and I do believe that they are, but there is also a down side of the two. Science says that there is a big bang theory and the Bible says that God created the world and that is a big argument today. I personally believe that God is the Creator so for someone to say different upsets me a little bit, but they have the right to their opinion. Technology is definitely a progression. If we did not have the technology we have today, it would be hard for us to get around and communicate with each other. At the same time there are some new things in technology that are nice to have, but are not needed.

DEBATE REFLECTIONS

We worked together well as a team we all put in input.  My part turned out well Yahaira helped me research for my part in the debate. I think Silvino and Tien both stood out on my team, and I think that Mehak stood out on the opposing team. My opinion has not changed because of t,he debate.

RACE RELATIONS TODAY

I think that Huck and Jim would be a little confused because back in their day "Blacks" and "Whites" were not allowed to associate with each other how we are now. They would probably be happy though because Huck even said in the movie that Jim was the best friend he ever had, so if that's the case then they would be happy that they were able to hang out and talk and not get  in trouble.

To Teach or Not to Teach

The arguments about teaching the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in schools are that the book is racist and the constant use of the "N" word is unnecessary.  Some people think that  it is a good lesson for students to learn about real life because they are going to hear the the word anyway and we can't shelter our children from it, but teach them that it is not a good word to say. Some people think that we should teach our children to be aware of  the word, but The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is not they way to go about teaching it. 

Satire

I read the article about LaDanian Tomilson playing in the game without a groin. This is an example of satire because it is not possible to play any sport without a groin kind of like verbal irony.

BANNED in the USA

I think that banning books is both detrimental and beneficial to our society because some books are not appropriate for students to read in school, on their own time maybe, but schools should not be aloud to carry certain books. I also think that some of the books that they ban should not be banned. They are really sensitive about what they ban.

ADAPTING BOOKS INTO MOVIES

THE HARRY POTTER MOVIES ARE BETTER THAN THE BOOKS. THE BOOKS ARE VERY GOOD, BUT IT IS EASIER TO GET INTO THE MOVIES THAN THE BOOKS.

UTOPIA OR DYSTOPIA

I THINK THAT THE FUTURE WILL BE WORSE THAN THEN THE PRESENT BECAUSE THE WAY OUR ECONOMY IS NOW. OUR ECONOMY IS GOING TO BE WORSE IN THE FUTURE. THE MOVIES ALWAYS PORTRAY THE FUTURE AS THE TECHNOLOGY WORLD. THERE'S ALWAYS A FLOATING CAR OR SOMETHING.
