Music

For me, music has been something that I have loved ever since I was little. I remember when my dad showed me people like The Beatles and older things like that. Also I feel that my sister is probably my biggest person who showed my some of my favorite bands : Linkin Park, Korn,Papa Roach,Green Day, My Chemical Romance and etc. I have also found some music myself such as bands like : Slipknot, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, Hollywood Undead, and more. I feel that the music that I like has a bad reputation because some people think that people who listens to aggressive music are just angry and mean but that's not true. I have also fell in love with punk this year. I found out about Blink 182, I rediscovered Green Day with the music they have put out for their new album, one of my favorite band every now is A Day To Remember with is a mix of hardcore and pop punk. I have this relationship with music that tons of people have that it gets you through bad times and that is what i believe music should be. During freshman year, my grandpa passed away and when I listened to music it made things better.

RESPECT MY AUTHORITY

Some time I think that certain authority figures can be very trust worthy and nice but sometimes there are some that give people fear. I can understand when people say that they are afraid of the cops because they fell that the way they look could give police a reason to have fear and think that they will do something wrong. I think that military are very inspirational because they are risking their lives for us so I feel that anyone who goes to war is very respectable. When it comes to teachers I think that many people have different views on. I think that some people just don't like teachers cause their teachers while others enjoy someone who wants to help them with their education. Some of the people that I respect in authority are like my first and second grade teachers and some of my parents friends that serve in the army or are cops. Also some of my teachers in high school i have hate while others i really like. I haven't really played a lot of spots but I can see that some may say that coaches are authority figures but some how i have had nice coaches but sometimes i see some coaches that just yell and cuss at the players that they are trying to make better and its like how will you get respect from some people by doing that. The police are some times really scary because of the news and when I see that there is police brutality it is almost like how could we trust people who kill people who do nothing wrong but also the media makes it seem way worse then it really is.

INCITING INCIDENT

The inciting incident in this story is when the main character Lenard Mead is stopped by a police car and is intargated by a machine that thought it was suspicious that he was walking out at night.

Mistakes for president

I feel that the debt was these canidates who by the people's stand point have extreme trust issues. I feel that some of them just started to ramble about random things to get away from the real point that the other was trying to create

MY YODA

My yoda  is my mom because she is just a big inspiration to me because she had to come from a third world country and she went to college and had to work on another island in the Philippines to provide food and clothes for my sister who was being token care by my grandparents

Why

Why do we have Donald Trump , a giant ego maniac with a lot of money , and Hilary Clinton, a person who is known to lie and slip her way out of being known as a bad person, as our presidential candidates? Just why I don't understand especially if in the us we have so many people that this was the best we could come up with. It just boggles my mind how 2 of the most untrustworthy people could be the people who could run our country.

My First impressions on the Pedestrian

My first thoughts on this story is that it is about a guy who is just alone in this far off distant future where things have just gone to crap.

I guess i agree with it because i wrote a lot but i don't want to sound cocky. I don't really know like a B on the first quiz and i think maybe an A on the other one i forgot to get my paper in class today. I think that if the journals and the blogs count i think that i would have like and A/A- i cant really tell.

maybe

I thinks that since Preston keeps getting on us about posting on the blog so i think that i need to start posting.

Literature Analysis # 1

1. Briefly summarize the plot of the novel.

The story of the book is a soldier who was put into the war and every time he dies he just keeps waking up the same morning that he started. 

2.Succinctly describe the theme of the novel.  Avoid cliches.  

the theme of the story is that even the weak can become strong and over come big problems.

3.Based on the author's tone, describe how you imagine the author's morning routine.  Does s/he get up early or sleep late?  Coffee, tea, or no caffeine?  Yoga/meditation/exercise?  Groggily stumble to the toilet and wish s/he wasn't so hungover?  Breakfast?  If so, what kind of food?  No, I am not kidding.  There is no shortcut for this, only your own imaginative thinking based on how you read his/her work and interpret his/her tone.  Include no fewer than three (3) excerpts from the text that illustrate your points.

I think that the author gets up late and sleeps late and drinks tea. He probably uses meditation. I think that he wouldn't drink too much to have to run to the toilet. He probably just goes without breakfast because he wakes up so late.

4.Describe five (5) literary techniques you observed that strengthened your understanding of the theme and/or your sense of the tone.  These techniques may include characterization, figurative language, or anything else you've ever studied.  If you can't come up with five, do your best to remember and then look up "literary techniques" online and see if something rings a bell.  Include three (3) excerpts for each technique that will help your reader understand the technique and how it helped you gain insight.

I think that when he used foreshadowing it helped me understand what was going to happen. Also when he used metaphors for death such as loop for death. " How was your loop moments?"
"We just meet like 4 days ago but i know you" "I know every day will just be the same"
