CUE THEME MUSIC

I think the central message of the book is to not live in the past, learn from your mistakes and what people have given you before and take that to become a better person your self. Also learn that even when you love someone sometimes its best to just let go of them and ride your own wave while they sail away.

GATSBY CHAPTER 9

1. Gatsby is an averge man stuck in the past, in love with someone that he knows he can't get back no matter what he tries to do. He tried to hard to get her back and it costed him his life. 2. Nick is honest with himself and he hangs out with dishonest people to know what not to do. He respests them because opposites attract usually. 3. He means that Tom and Daisy don't care for others feelings and when they do something thats wrong they leave and let others pick up after the ruckes they made. I do agee with Fitzgerald. 4. I dont understand Daisy's behavoir its like she is a little kid still. I don't agree with her choices because you can't always run away from your problems. I wouldn't let her date anyone i knew. 5. What that means is that we constantly want what we can't have even if we can't understand it. It relates to the theme of the book because Gatsby can't have Daisy but he doesn't understand that.

IM IGNITED

Michael Velazquez- What is school for if the way of teaching hasn't changed over 100 years What got my attention from this was that the way teachers teach hasn't changed over 100 years. this was shocking to because I was told that at one point teachers were able to hit you if you didn't behave and know they don't do that. We have been using textbooks for 100 years and that's what I thought about the most.

HOPEPUNK

The word HOPEPUNK is genuinely and really caring about something or standing up and fighting for what you believe in. Authors think this matters because they can cheat the system when writing, they don't always have to follow the rules when they wright a book because after all its their book and they can write it however they want to. It also makes an authors writing style unique and shows why they aren't like others.

LAST CENTURYS WRITING STYLE

Genre is similarities in a subject such as writing or music. The difference between Naturalism, Realism and Modernism is that each of these subjects portrays different meaning, not just what the word means but what it means to others. Some can think naturalism can be talking about nature and others will know that its the representation of accurate details.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

The link I choose was celebrating the highest potentially of the human spirit. In this link Stein mentions that heroism will rise and fall like evil will but that it will never die. He also said that 2 forces must meet to make a man a man. What I got from this is that hope can never be lost even in times of despair and when everything is going wrong all we can do is look at positively.

MY LEARNING FALL AND RISE

 When I entered this class for the first time since last year I felt confident of taking this class for the second time. I thought that it was going to be fairly easy. Little did I know I was in for a treat. The class this year was different. My learning experience has been different every year, especially after taking your class least year i felt way more confident and responsible for my work ethic and time management.   That first day that I met you after our departure from the class last year was familiar to what you said last year. I expected that you were going to leave the class and give us the option of choosing the way we learn this year. I mentioned to my fellow class mates that its fun learning with open source but that's if your up to putting in the time an effort and the whole class choose open source learning. My experiences this year have been different because there has been more memorization that we have had to do since from last year and I feel like i h...
