HOW TO GET ALONG ONLINE

Do you guys know how to get along with a strangers online? If you don't, I have some ideas that can help. I read a article in my English class. It gave me so many interesting ideas on how to communicate with people online. Here are some, respect others, control your emotions, and get to know other people before you make any kind of judgement online. Just make sure to"treat others as you want to be treated."

LETTER TO A MENTOR DRAFT 1

Every moment, now and then I think why we can't cure cancer. I mean we can get antibiotics to get rid of  a flu, a cough, a sore throat, and etc. Why can't we cure cancer? I know we have cancer treatment but it doesn't make cancer go away for sure. I would like to ask a scientist. If there is any chance in finding something that might cure cancer, later on in the future?

Literature Analysis #2

Lately, I been reading a book called "Until We Meet Again." The book is about a young girl called Darcy. It was about, how she was planning, plans with her boyfriend and her friends in the summer. Instead, she ends up getting bad news. She finds out that her boyfriend is moving and her boyfriend ends up breaking up with her. Everything ends up bad because her family started to have problems. It was about her dad and grandmother. I kept reading this book because it talked about relationships, like family, friends, and couples relationships. I hoped that there was something that I can relate too. Even if it was a fiction story. The reason I got past the first ten pages was because the way the author worded it. It kept me intrigued. When I read books, I always listen to music to concentrate better. I also try to read more. I really enjoyed reading this book for this literature analysis.

INVESTING IN ME

Have you guys started to think about, what you are going to do after school?Not that much? I will be talking about what I am going to do after school. Maybe some of don't know but I am in third year in high school. I am already starting to take a community college class. So it will help me, finish  community college faster. From there transfer to a university. I heard from my friends that have already graduated from high school. If you take the class in community college the classes are free or cheaper then in university. Where you will be learning the same thing but in community college. Those are plans so far. I hope you guys start to make plans too. If you don't have any. Even, if you finish with community college or university.

HOW I READ

Today, in my English class Dr.Preston read to us. As he read, I found out amateur came from a French derivation called "love." That amateurs don't do it for money. They do it because they love doing, the thing that they love the most. When Dr. Preston got towards the end of the article. I found it nice. That Dr.Preston said that it's better to do what we love and be work free.I agree with him. It would be nice to do something you love for work.

HAWTHORNE & POE ON DREAMS

I read a story about "Young Goodman brown" and a poem called " A Dream Within A Dream."  I think the of authors wrote a similar theme. They also used particular words in describing whether we are dreaming. Hawthorne and Poe use metaphors in there writing. Is everything we really experience reality or a dream? I know we can't we prove we are asleep but i think that's the main point the authors are trying to make us think.

A other way to look at their work and how it's similar because they both talked about how bad humanity is and all this madness in the world really real. The way Hawthorne wrote it is"My Faith is gone!" cried he, after one stupefied moment. "There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil! for to thee is this world given." Everything that Young Brown believed in was destroyed because all the people he trust betrayal-ed him by believing in the devil and doing bad things for him.It's also the way Poe worded his words. He said, "O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave? In my perspective I think he trying to say he can't save someone from the evil in the world. 

     The way Poe rhythms his words. For example: "Is but a dream within a dream." I think he is trying to say  that if reality is a dream but when we supposedly fall sleep in reality we are just dreaming . inside a another dream. It really  made me take a look at the world differently. Just like Hawthorne  he looks at it a different point of view. They are both talking about if it's a dream and the evil there is in the world. They come to the same conclusion just a different. Just like math  you can solve the problem the standard way and other people solve it a different way because they get the same answer.

In Hawthorne’s story used a an object and a person to represent hope. He use Young Brown’s wife name and the pink ribbon. He uses this to symbolize hope. He also wore a part where Young good Brown was in the forest with a devil. Telling the devil he  believes that his wife wouldn’t do anything evil or support it. The devil just laughed. Young Brown saw his wife with her pink ribbon wondering into the forest. He saw her going towards the darkness as in the evilness. In that moment the husband lost all his hope in his wife but in the people he knew too because his wife was his hope and the pink ribbon as significantly his faith in good. Where as Poe said, “Yet if hope has flown away.” I think he was meaning that hope was just gone and there was none.

Overall, this really showed how both of the authors thought alike but in different way. Hawthorne wrote it as a story and Poe wrote it a poem. I got to read it in two different styles. In my opinion, the way they wrote made me think it's about us dreaming and the evil intentions people have around us. We really can't trust people too much.
