Coming of Age

In the book "The Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian" Junior (the main character) is soon now attending his first year of high school. Junior has a lot of conditions/ disabilities that make him different, and more of a responsibility compare to what would be considered as a normal family. He is now at the age where other people shouldn't have to take care of him. since he is a young man he need to take the initiatives and stand up for himself as appose to letting people take advantage of him.

 

He has now reached the age where he is learning new things about himself, his family and his life in general. I can personally relate to this because I'm reaching a point and time where I am be held accountable for more and more things, and my level of responsibility has been increasing numerously.

These are majority of the "coming of age details that stand out me in th ebook that I am reading.

break hw #3 article

In the article "What Really Happened to the Titanic?" by Jennifer Marino seem to show the more scientific side of the tragic tale of the titanic that wrecked on April 14th 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Over the years many have said that the cause of the cruse ship the R.M.S Titanic to sink on April 14th 1912 (one hundred years ago from yesterday )was due to a crash in with an iceberg. but Matlin read weathers records and testimony from survivors plus facts from the ships log research supports his theory that the titanic sailed into a freezing Labrador Current and the air columns cooled causing layers of cold air to pile up below layers of hot air which is also known as thermal inversion. This caused light to bend and the horizon appeared to be where is wasn't (a false horizon). causing the iceberg to be hidden so those aboard the ship didn't see the ice berg until it was directly in front of the ship and the two were about to collide.

This theory doesn't disregard the fact that the iceberg was there but it just gives more explanation as to why the incident occurred.  The scientific explanation explains why and how the R.M.S Titanic sun st 2:20 am on April 14th 1912.

The article by Jennifer Marino clarifies and explains why the tragic death of thousands of people occurred on that day and why the captain, crew members and guest on the crews ship didn't see the ice burg causing many deaths.

break hw plagiarise

What the student did wrong was the student copied his/her source word for word. The "student" also didn't cite the sources properly, there was no author and or book cited.

"This sky keeps the viewer's eyes moving about the painting..." lines 3-4
(Cited Sources) www.vangoghgallery.co/painting/staryindex.html
(Article) "A Brief Understanding of the starry night paintings"
Author: N/A

Three ways to avoid plagiarizing... put the text into your own words, use more than one reference, and give the author credit for his/  her work.

break hw blogs that I liked

One blog that I very much enjoyed was Sofia's blog from class 807. Sofia's blog post on Picasso because it was structured in a way that wasn't confusing and made it easy to understand her work. She organized the paragraphs in a way that they focused on one topic and it covered all the grounds/ basics of Picasso. There was also a sense of effort in Sofia's work she didn't just do the bare minimum she really tried and it showed in her blog post, she even added a photos of Picasso's work.

Another post that I enjoyed and thought was a good example on how I should write my blog post was Diana's blog post on Much Ado About Nothing.  She split the post into three paragraphs the first paragraph talked about the cast members as a whole and what she thought they did well. The second Paragraph talked about the individual cast members and what was done well by them. And finally the last paragraph talked about the bad and how she felt about the plot and the ending, which is something I need to incorporate into my writing structure.

What I need to incorporate into my writing is structure. I also need to put more effort and time into my blog post. and lastly I need to make my post longer and incorporate more detail into my blog post.

BREAK HW READING RESPONSE

Katniss is having regrets, regrets about participating in the Hunger Games although she did it for her sister.

Katniss has a lot of stress she feels as if everything that she has done up to this point is her fault. Not only was it hard enough emotionally in the Hunger Games but the one person that she got close with in the arena: Rue was killed. A spear strait through her chest. "Who else would I fail to save?"  The mental stress of blaming herself for all that has gone wrong during this savage process.

 

The comfort from Gale is helping Katniss get through the after math of this mind bottling experience, especially after they had their moment in the wood where their lips met in such an unexpected turn of events.

What will happen to Katniss next.....?

break hw reading response

In the book Catching Fire By: Suzanne Collins the main character

Katniss is back from the Capitol with Peeta as winner of the hunger games, and now they are being showered in fame and glory. Not only did they win but they are the first ever two victors;  now they must keep up the lie of them being star crossed lovers for the press or Else they will upset many if not all of the districts because they cheated the hunger game. when Katniss got back home to district 12 she was welcomed with a surprise visit from President Snow who was sitting in her living room. During the visit he implied that he didn't like being fooled and the there would be repercussions on katnisses part.

After the Hunger Games, Gale and Katnisses relationship isn't as strong as it was. I think a contributing factor to their relationship no being as strong is all the talk about Katniss and Peeta being star crossed lovers, and the time they spent apart.

Katniss seems to be mostly concerned about will her behavior at the games have effected the people she loves. especially after the visit from President snow?

ROMEO & JULIET

Romeo and Juliet are in love; Romeo insist on waiting for Juliet until she is ready to marry, no matter what his or her family name is. The nurses has advice in which Juliet isn't sure she should consider; if i were in the place of Juliet I would follow my heart and wouldn't let a family rivalry get in the way of my love for someone Else. Romeo isn't trying to start trouble but from what I here in his words he isn't going to give up on Juliet. the marriage is being rushed so that no other can interfere with the two's choice. 

I can tell that his love is true and that there is a big difference in time periods because I would never climb up to the balcony of a castle, and most woman wouldn't be pleased by those actions. In fact some people would file a report, get a restraining order and warn others not to associate with that person.

So this is the proof of romeo and Juliet's love for one another.
