The first 2 paragraphs agree that snapshots are not art but they disagree about what art is. The first article believes that art can be true to life opera just isn’t it. The second paragraph argues that no art is relative to reality.

Paragraph number 2 both aree that violence is bad the second paragraph is simply more lengthy and in depth about the topis.

The final paragraphs agree as well.

 

When gifts are given to children a message comes with that gift. The message can be positive or negative but is there nonetheless. One message is sends relates to behavioral expectations. WHen a child is given a gift after a display of poor behavior, they begin to think that bad behavior produces good results. Parents should use gifts as a way to reinforce good behavior and family values.

Rose’s essay is an analysis of the educational world. He uses experiences from his own school experience to show the reader some of the major flaws that modern schooling is riddled with.

 

Salubrious: favorable to or promoting health or well-being

 

Chuckhole: a hole or rut in a road

 

Malady: an unwholesome or disordered condition

 

If the school system is so flawed then why do people put private schools above public ones?

Why doesn’t the school allow the student to choose their course?

Why aren’t there better guidelines for teachers to get more teachers like Mr. Mclahlan?

Back in my middle school years I was in an Honors English class that I don’t think I will ever forget. The period was separated by lunch so we would go to class then lunch then back to class. It seemed that that class was our first introduction to High School drama.  The first incident started when we were allowed to bring laptops to school. One day while the class was out at lunch one girl who preferred to remain in the class decided to bang the chalk erasers out on top of another girls laptop. This of course ruined the screen and caused a lot of turmoil in the class. Already nobody was very fond of this girl and with the added popularity of the girl whose laptop she ruined it was a war. The teacher had to step in and it turned into a cage match, literally. The 2 girls were placed in a room till they could talk out their differences. I think all of us in that class were astounded at how this thing that wouldn’t have been a big deal in out elementary school loves was such an ordeal now that we were middle schoolers. In reality it probably wasn’t a big deal we just made it one because we felt insecure about our new surroundings.

I’m not really sure what to write. Mostly I’m just tired and ready for the weekend. I’m also wondering if I’m going to have so much homework all the time. I dont think I can manage that on game days, that will be hard. THe past 2 days have been good. Mostly a blurr though. The schedule changing and trying to get back in the responsibility mode is tough. Also my handwriting is horrible. Which I dont understand becaus eI had a job this summer I wrote most of the time I guess Im just not as used to it. im really excited for my art class I like art class its always a no stress class which is good. Also, it relates to the career I hope to pursue so I guess its good that i enjoy it. Well Seeing as this is the last piece of homework for the night i think I will get ready for tommorow and go to bed. Goodnight!

These articles offer a lot of good advice on college. It talks about different types of colleges and what they can offer. It better explained the purpose of ivies and encouraged students to look at different types of schools.

 

Brick and Mortar School: A school the student attends in person as opposed to online schools

 

Ivie: One of 8 schools that formed an agreement in 1945

 

Liberal Arts: Colleges that typically offer smaller class sizes and a more intimate philosophy on the college experience.

 

How are evaluator grades given at Liberal Art Schools and what do they mean?

 

Why does the media make a big deal of the Ivies when other colleges are just as good or better?

Tuesday September 2- Colleges

The most prominant emothion I have had while college shopping this past year has been stress. So many colleges and institutions want so many different things it is hard to keep straight which id which. Also the financial side of just applying to college is a cause for stress as well. my top three colleges are Seattle University, Brigham Young University, and Washington State University. I know alot about Seattle university as I attended thier college Planning Day and have talked to a student that I know personally. One thing I learned more about was a scholarship there that I was interested in. At Brigham young I was able to find financial aid information and finally at Washington State i learned that they do not require an essay! I have begun some of the application processes and so far I’v learned it is alot of work, it makes me think if this is what they want to get in I wonder if I can survive. I know  I can though and I know I need to be organized.

In the first article titled How to Mark a Book by Mortimer J. Adler, discussed the pros to writing in books. Also, he gave examples of how to mark a book effectively.

 

William Golding discussed three levels to thinking in his short story titled Thinking as a hobby. Golding ties in a memory from his childhood of three statues to his levels of thinking, level one being the highest.

 

Oratory: a place of prayer; especially : a private or institutional chapel

 

Penal: of, relating to, or involving punishment

 

Indignant: filled with or marked by indignation

 

If authors wanted us to write in their books why don’t they provide space to?

 

Who is Mr. Vallee?

 

Why does Golding say there are only 3 grades of thinking and no gray areas?
