the most effective presentation

During class when we were watching presentations there was one that I found really affective. It was Mathews on social networks. The way he presented with visuals was good with all the animations. Plus the argument was well done and I agree with what he said about how safe facebook actually is and how schools should be allowed to use this social network. Out of all of the presentations his was most affective.

indapendant reading

  I have been researching the topic of immigration. This has been an issue for America for years. Two sides have emerged in this topic. The first side let them come here the honest way and let them become citizens; or let them come here illegally and make us pay for their welfare.  After seeing both sides I am leaning more on the first reason. I don’t wasn’t money that I have worked for to go to immigrants on welfare who don’t work. If they become citizens then they can get good jobs and have more room in this country.

My Independent reading topic

  I have recently been researching the problem of immigration. I was amazed at how one sided everything was. Even though I am against them coming here illegal both sides need to be told. The issue is not just Mexicans coming to America but also other countries that we overlook because Mexicans  are more common. For example some people from other countries come here and go through our borders and are mistaken for Americans. Europeans for example can be light skinned and blend in. People are only seeing the Mexicans coming in and forgetting about everything else. But when it come to the Mexicans most just come here don't work, get paid by government money that comes from our taxes. We would be happy to allow any body here if the became a citizen and did their end of the deal by working. Another interesting thing I found out is that most of the countries that they are coming from are very strict when it come to immigration. So why does everything have to be one sided and unfair?

The Most Dangerous Game

  In class we recently read The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell in which we talked about its tone and mood. The tone of this book is a little gloomy and the subject focuses around hunting. But it is the type of hunting that makes this story's tone so dark. In the book this man hunts humans which is dark in itself so the tone automatically would be grim, scary, sad...etc. The tone of this book is the story in a way,without it the book would be boring. For example one part of the book said, " It was so dark...that i could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids-". The author could have said it was dark but the way he said it was descriptive and made the tone eerie. The book used tone in a very depressing way by giving places weird names. "We call it Death Swamp." is an example if that. The reason why that name sets the tone is because the word death and swamp in one sentence can make one feel rather depressed. The tone and mood in the story are medieval.

out of character

I recently read and finished  J. R. R. Tolkens book The Hobbit and began to realize that the character Bilbo is out of his character. he comes from a long family that frowns upon adventures or even leaving their hometown. So one of his friends Gandalf asks him to go on a quest to "the Lonely Mountian" to get treasure. He immediately says no  because of his reputation of being rich and never leaving his town. But after he hears of these adventures he longs to go. He then decides that he is more important than his reputation and decides to go. By going out of his character he is later rewarded with gold to spend when he returns; but also he has to fight to get back his  stuff that was in his house. So his choice that was out of character later led to great riches but also a little loss of furniture.

Challenging my thinking

Challenging my thinking

I recently started reading J. R. R. Tolkien’s book the hobbit. This book challenges my thinking because the word usage is king of hard. Also there are a couple of words in the book witch are not English but are made up. So I consistently have to flip and find the definition of the book in order to get a better understanding of the book. Also some of the descriptions in the book are kind of hard to understand imagery wise. To solve that problem I have to read over the sentence just a couple of times to imagine it.
