December Blog #2 Theme

I believe one of the central themes of the story is to never let Isolation ruin your life. In the story “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” the protagonist Junior or Arnold Spirit has lived in Isolation all his life. One example from the story would be how Junior was the only Indian at the Reardon School besides the school mascot. Junior would go to school on his own since he was an Indian and all the other kids were white. At school all white kids would insult Junior and refuse to hang out with him, this caused junior to feel ostracized by the rest of his school. However he soon learns to live with isolation and he untimely becomes one of the most popular kids at school. This can relate to the world by telling audience not to get so worked up about being isolated. People in this world do drugs and alcohol just to relieve them from the fact that they are alone, some people even commit suicide just to get away from it all.

December Blog #1 Specail Christmas gift

If I could give someone anything regardless of time, money, or space I would give that something to my dad. First of all my dad is my dad so that is something that makes him special to me, but seriously he does so much for my family, he brings the most money to my family, deals with his college degree after work hours, and he is just a great full-time father always offering help and knowledge. My gift would be for my Dad would be something really special, I would give him both a simple house and youth or health. I Believe MY dad deserves this gift because he has worked very hard his life, starting on his own in America, working time after time after time but yet we still don’t have a house which both of my parents want. Like I also said I would more than anything want my dad to have youth. I’m not trying to say my dad is old or anything but it’s just that he injured his leg as a child and that stopped him from playing his favorite sport soccer, and he was good. So I chose youth for to be my dad’s gift because with it perhaps he can run with me whenever I do my workouts, or teach me and my bro soccer, or just hang out by some sort of physical activity, but to do this he would have to run but with his leg injury he can only walk and barley jog. Youth would also give my dad the oomph to teach my brother and I soccer which he will be able to do once he’s better, and if this happens we can join the soccer team and possibly be good which is something my dad has always wanted us to do, to love soccer the way he did whe he was young and if this happened he’d be getting youth and his two sons in soccer!

OCTOBER BLOG #1 Plot and Non-Plot

The difference between plot and non-plot questions is that plot questions retell the story while non-plot questions require analysis of the story.

5 non-plot questions to a Novel.
1.) Explain why would the body of Old Major be disinterred and set up by the flag?
2.) What is significant about the pigs not wanting to share their milk?
3.) In Animal farm who does Napoleon represent in the real world?
4.) What is significant about the end of the story of animal farm?
5.) What does Boxer symbolize in the real world?

November Blog #2 Propaganda

1) What ideas, information, or rumors does this artifact of propaganda attempt to spread?
The Idea of this ad is trying to show how our industry (mainly the oil industry) and global warming is destroying the polar bear’s home (and also other living animals in that region). In the ad the polar bear is walking away from no more ice area and onto the what is left of the tundra because as you can see in the ground the ice is cracking so the polar bears are forced to move onto the tundra that they have left, why because our oil industry is destroying their homes through global farming (or climate change).

2) What institution, cause, or person is it trying to help or hurt? Explain.
I believe this ad is trying to help the cause to reduce the amount of global warming we give off and also to help save the polar bears from dying, because before the vast oil industries the tundra was fine but now as shown in the picture the industries are destroying the landscape.

3) What do you think is the most persuasive element of this propaganda? Why?
I believe the most persuasive element of my picture are the polar bears themselves, mostly because without them the picture would not make much sense. I would still make sense like our industries are destroying the tundra but with the polar bear we see that there is life in the tundra and for that we must save the land and the polar bears.

Parent blog input August #4

me gustaria que Gustavo en un futuro no muy lejano fuera a la Universidad para llegar a ser un profesionista. y ayudara con sus conocimientos adquiridos y los llevara a la practica a su comunidad.

The power for the president to disable the internet in times of emergencies would be catastrophic to our country. Since our country is very dependent on various sources including electronics shutting down the internet would dramatically affect our country even if for a little while.
People nowadays are adapted and accustomed into using the internet and have even make it part of their daily lives. Taking the internet away if only for a moment would disrupt the order in airports and in hospitals also police stations or prisons. Airports and hospitals are important matters on which to note on because these two greatly rely on internet access in order to keep things running smoothly by keeping files or schedules on when events will occur. Whether it’s from a normal house to a powerful business of some sort internet is used in all of these places so as you can see internet affects several places in different areas.
Since this is still being considered that doesn’t exactly mean that the need to have an emergency shutdown for internet will be passed. Before the plan is made though I suggest that the president thinks very carefully about it before it is passed.
