A Story in Progress.

Once upon a time... A 17-Year-old teen named Morty. A teen living in a ghetto city and goes to Santa May High School. He has an average life and a pretty normal family. Morty wakes up thinking of what is going to happen this school day if anything exciting or interesting going to happen but he only hoped. He knew it might be the same as always. same boring stuff as always. Morty is not doing badly in school but its just the same thing learning and doing homework he felt like he actually wanted to make a change, He could only wish at the moment that he was rich since the only thing you can make a change is by having money, with money he could help out his family and those who are in need. He got ready for school that day on Oct 27, He was on his phone on his way to school and found out that people are making conspiracy theories for oct 28 about how there are signs about aliens coming to take over earth or visit, he just put the phone back into his pocket. thinking of how dumb that is. he arrives to class and his friend he usually sits to starts to take about if he heard the rumors about aliens trying to take over. He's the type of friend that would believe about almost everything. Morty just mentioned that he should not believe everything he sees on the internet. once school hit lunch break he was hanging out with his friends and all of sudden they all felt a huge thud on the floor. he noticed people started to talk about how their phone died or that their phones are not working for some reason. one of his friend from the group he was hanging out said that his phone is not working as well. Morty checked him and it was dead. he assumed it was just a weird thing that some people did not charge their phone and neither did he. So the whole city was with no electricity. School ended and went home. He did his homework and ate with his family and his parents were talking about work without electricity and Morty also told them about what happened at school with the electricity problem. After dinner, Morty decided to walk his dog. when he was about to leave he heard his mom yell "yes the electricity came back. Morrty was relieved and told bye to his parents and that he will be back after his walk. He made it to passed the park and he looked up in the sky and noticed a huge white light coming towards him, A big flash that he only saw pure white. He woke in the morning in his bed. He thought it was just a dream but wanted to make sure if it did happen so when he was about to get out his room to tell his parents he grabbed the doorknob slightly and once he let go of it, he noticed he squeezed it just like butter. He was gifted with super strength.

Literature Analysis, The Great Gatsby

The book is beeing told by (Narrator) Nick Carraway,  He moves to east cost as a bond trader in Manhattan. Where old money people live. Nick reconnects with his cousin Daisy. From there he meets Daisy friend  Jordan. Tom( Daisy's husband) Takes Nick to his mistress Myrtle. Myrtle is married to George. A love affair. Nick meets one of the main characters Gatsby when Nick was attended one of Gatsby party, he has noticed that no one has actually seen Gatsby in the flesh but only attended guests spread rumors about him at his party.
2. The theme would be romance, and also money and dramas
3. I would say his mornings are lonely or calm, not too exciting. maybe wake up and take a warm shower and get a coffee and read a newspaper. The author's breakfast would be scrambled eggs with a piece of bacon. His tone is sad and lonely. I feel like he put himself as the Gatsby because his character is lonesome and seems sad because he is rich and has no one to share his things with.
4. Diction is used repeatedly, numbers of words that can describe the same thing. Imagery is used to describe the billboard that has two eyes of Eckleburg. Alliteration was used when Fitzgerald when describing Gatsby outfit. Saying "Suite, Silver, Shirt". Foreshadowing and flashbacks when Nick says "I've been drunk twice in my life, and the second was that night. Symbol, The green light in the book symbolizes Gatsby's immense desire for Daisy.
Next Level:
1. A teacher chose this book for the whole class to read. and she has mentioned that most people did not like the book. She also said that she was not amazed from reading it but then she said the second time she read it that she started to get more into it and actually enjoying it. Another thing she mentioned was that you can either like it or dislike it, but just to keep an open mind and I did. and just a few chapters into it and I was liking it already.
2. What kept me reading was the hook of the story. The questions i wondered was, who is gatsby and where is the story leading too.
3. My reading habits are bad, I have to find an interesting book with a good hook. i dont read often. When i do a few days later i find it boring.

THE POETIC POETICS

Aristotle's Poetics and the 6 elements of tragedy. His six elements of drama are Theme: It is the examination o f "patterns of life" As an example there can be a Happy theme and a death theme, Dialogue: helps move the actions of the play along (play write), Character: actors that can play as sometimes seen as animals or ideas, Spectacle: refers to the visual things set in the play such as costumes and special effects, everything that the audience sees in the play, Music: can be the rhythm of the actors ,Plot: which is the Explosion, Rising action, Climax, Falling action, Resolution. Aristotle worked with Plato for some time. Poetics does not work with Geek theater but geek theater working with poetics.

COMPARING NOTES

How do the words you choose, create an impression of who you are? If you use your words loud and strong could be that your a loud person and you say what you think and if you use your words quite you can be either shy or just calm. Also, how you use your words in tone and you use them with your actions can also impersonalize you, Point is how you use your words what with you do and how you say they can make an impression of you, you can be loud, silent, calm etc. I would try to do better at explaining myself next time, I feel like this was sloppy, sorry about that. but I got math HW!  

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

This week in class I got new pieces of new knowledge about philosophers. Philosophers have a very different way of seeing things and just thinking out of the box and they are very wise. In my opinion, I think philosophers are great and I want to be at that level of thinking and writing and expressing myself. I admire them for the way they question life and the things around them. Also how writing goes deeper than just words what i mean by that is we were talking in class how you can tell how the writer(Author) is feeling toward the character or stage and even audience( the reader)because you are just reading a book that has no way of showing feeling or anything of course but only the printed words in the book, you can tell how the Author is feeling those things by Diction, description, syntax, and characterization and also imagery/ figurative language these  are all clues for tone of the author.  Also, it's letting me bloom but in a very slow paste. These assignments on the blog are not hard to do but also I need to know how to let my thinking come clear so I can show how I feel about what I'm writing about and if I make my point clear. 

The Canterbury Tales

Written by Geoffrey Chaucer. An English poet was born in London 1342(uncertain of the date of birth) Also Chaucer was from a family of successful merchants. Not enough information about where he studied but there is some education in Latin and Greek. Chaucer married a woman named Philippa Roet when he was the age around 23 and had 3 or 4 children. Chaucer died in October 1400 and was buried in Westminster Abbey in London. He is also known as The Father of English Literature. The Canterbury Tales is about a storytelling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from London to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return.

Tone

How can tone be described when you are reading a book? How can you feel the emotion of the words of the author when there is no physical contact for what so ever? The only present thing is the words written in the book by that author. Well, Diction, description, syntax and characterization and also imagery/ figurative language are all clues for tone. Its something you feel and opposed to material or physical things.

The Making of the satire

Well first off I had to choose something that was a real life problem and I chose insurance companies. I had to get info about it and see how their system works,. and as well look the problems of it. I feel like I did not make my satire dramatic enough or wrap my whole thoughts about it. i did lack of work on it, to be honest, but my point was to make the reader realize that insurance companies and the law to have an insurance is just messed up, if you get badly injured and need a surgery or a cure thats out there and you have no money or insurance then you can not get that treatment, knowing that the cure or help is there but can not get it because money. and that insurance companies can be theft. and if you don't have insurance you still have to pay. some people won't have any problems and still have to pay for insurance or pay from there tax. and we should truly make a change to that. or be more aware of it. and i will continue to edit my satire because i feel it needs more work

Satire

Insurance companies are very good and beneficial for you. All the things we can do With it. We all have to have insurance! its the law to have one if you choose not to have health insurance, you will be fined imposed under the affordable care act, The fines will be due when you file your taxes. The fine for the 2017 tax year is 2.5% of the whole total household goos income. If you make $100,000 you'd have to pay $2,500. So insurance or not you still have to pay up. Insurance can protect you if you ever need it, but insurance does not help with getting lawyers. insurance companies will take complete advantage without lawyers or any legal system keeping them in check so we should fully trust them and let them do what would be best for us. Insurance industries have money to pass laws forcing you to buy there product but they can arbitrarily raise your rates!they should might as well take control of everything

I AM GSD

My independent learning has gone fine, it has let myself explore more and put my ideas here. I feel like they might need work but also this the place to improve my thinking. I would also say that sometimes I don't know what to say or how to express myself at times. Aswell that this independent learning is doing it my own way there is no one proper way to do it so that's what I like about independent learning. I hope that this will help my improvement of thinking and also of expressing myself.
