Favorite Quote-
seconds count when something is trying to kill yo
oh but I'm talking about suicide
to survive my ancestors had to
put up with more than I ever could

Favorite picture- I like the picture of the hour glass and the world inside of it and also Dana in it with closed eyes it is a very nice picture.

Quote- "Seconds count when something is trying to kill you." Dana says this because when she thinks she is being shot she felt like it took forever because her life was on the line.

I thing that the conflict is going to be between Dana and the little boy because the little bot might grow up to be racist like his father or Dana might try to change his views.

Slavery changed America by making the American people rely on slave labor for their daily routines. Also by giving other races the supposed rite to feel like they are better than the black slaves making the slaves 3/5 of a person. We still see this view of superiority in our society by racism and a way of thought that will take awhile to change.

Journal 1

Bob and Huck's mischievousness comes from their curiosity. Their curiosity is dangerous and exciting, and it will lead to them gaining knowledge. Unlike Huck Jim isn't as curious because he has more to lose. For Jim, imagination is a playground he can't leave; Huck is free to frolic in the danger and thrills of the adventure.

Satire

Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary. The Simpsons has the satire that the education is bad in lisa's school to exaggerate the bad education the janitor is making a lot of noise when lisa is trying to study.

Dear Ranbir,

I would like to persuade the readers to focus on education and the demand for more supplies and better teaching conditions.

The greatest obstacles to this happening seem to be the fact that education is the last priority on the governments agenda.

I am also worried about the future generation and how they will be effected by the decisions we make today.

What do you think of Education today?

Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,

Transcendentalism song

Fire works by Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Katy Perry Firework lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/katy-perry-firework-lyrics.html

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon




Thoreau's Walden

Thoreau went to Walden see if transcendentalism is true and to test it he built a Little cabin and lived there. His life was simple and he lived in the woods loving nature and simplicity. Thoreau criticized the modern trains and such that were modern, he said we should walk, provide for our self and live self sufficiently. I disagree with Thoreau because we should move forward and live life depending on each other being too self sufficient can lead to failure.
