My Righetti Story

Righetti is a big school with crowded classrooms, crowded hallways, and a high populous student body. The days I’ve spent in Righetti travelling back and forth across the campus like an endless merry-go-round. I thought I was riding a carousel with no purpose. I soon realized that the rigorous core classes I was taking that required my time to walk, also took my time to learn. I don’t regret taking AP/Honors classes, I’m glad that they were challenging classes, which changed how I really think.

Freshman year, I thought the rest of my four years were only going to be focused around academics. Boy was I wrong. The clubs I joined, the community service I provided, collaborations, track & field, college trips, Wake-A-Thon events, teacher talks, and increasing friendships were the most important attributes of my high school years. Sophomore Year, I took the hardest class on campus (supposedly, I think AP Physics is the hardest class nowadays), AP World History and passed it’s AP exam with a score of 4. I was proud of myself, then convinced myself to take more AP courses that’ll definitely benefit me. Junior Year, realization overcame me. I didn’t learn anything from my classes and so I took the time to work with others to get ahead of the game. All in all, this was an easy year (except physics). Senior Year, growth, unfairness, time constraint, “I wish I can do things over again,” anticipation, and now are still going on.

AVID Class 2015, Spirit Day - Rock the Purple Wave

AVID. College bound students with smarticles is where people get together without falter. Half my story is shared with my AVID classmates. Ironically, we barely do much in the class, but my 4 years with the class share unforgettable memories that may be-could be-might be match to those of future experiences of college memories. It’s important to know where your friends come from and AVID is the place to know so.

Some students may be bad, some good, but Righetti shouldn’t be considered a school of bad hopes and false dreams. The school values students who want to learn and retain information. I could be considered a bad kid who is labeled to be bad from where I come from. Heck I hang around those kids, but they aren’t bad at all. Personally, I’m proud of who I am because honestly, I represent the kids with the same background as me. Righetti offers opportunity, any kinds of opportunity. Just think of one, it’ll be there.

Overwhelmed Student 2014! Overwhelmed Student 2015?

This is the time of a teen's life where you question, "Man I kinda wish I can do over the things I've done or I wish I did more!" At the start of senior year, I was thinking, "Man this is gonna be an easy year." Boy was I wrong. I'm growing up to an adult (or at least that's where my age suggests) and all the things I'm doing is all in one place at one time. Being an AP, college bound, scholarship searching/applying, blogging, peacemaking, AVID presidential, clubbie, bboy wannabe, medicine-interested, overwhelmed student is............ And sometimes I lose sight of my goals with all the things going on. I have to risk study time for one subject to study for another. That's just the start of it all, but the one thing I'm acknowledging is not everything works out how I vision it.

P.S. I hate doing all-nighters.

I did learn a lot about growing up. I didn't realize this before, but I have to face the harsh world ahead of me. Assertive, demanding, bossy (at times), risking, learning and accepting mistakes are things for a person or more specifically a student who doesn't want to mess up more than usual when entering adulthood. The world is cruel and the history I live in is decisive with a click of a button from a mouse or keyboard. The previous breaks I've had before were all used in good use of being a kid and I cherished the moments gratefully. Now the breaks I have in future are going to take convincing and non-slacked off experiences.

The Awakening by Kate Chopin

1. Edna Pontellier is entrapped in a chosen atmosphere of French signature households. At the beginning of the novel, Edna has not rightfully found herself free from the average housewife character. During the summer vacation, she becomes acquainted with a creole man of the same likewise age as her named Robert. The side character basically supports her role of becoming a woman with open thoughts and the true feeling of love. Edna sees the light she must follow while she is still capable of doing all the necessary things a woman can do at her young age and the following time period after the Civil War postwar years. Just as the title suggests, Mrs. Pontellier can finally awaken from reality and dream of things that has always interest her when she finally finds it.

2. Recognizing your potential for trying something new will always get you somewhere you've never thought would be possible. There's always a hidden attribute that you have to discover per se dubbed my opinion of the theme of The Awakening.

Characterization

1. Chopin describes the significance of Mr. Pontellier who acts as the money making, business man in the family. The father of the household is absent with discretion of leaving Edna to more thinking and pushing her path to leaving the family itself. Edna always wanted experience true love or rather more relationships she hadn't the chance to meet other people who met her standards as indirect characterization. Another example is the meaning of enjoying the company of others who feature a lack of opulence around Edna. One example of direction characterization is described by Edna's father, an ex-Confederate colonel with battle hardened attitude, but also cares about his daughter's choices.

Rage Containment

I can't do much with my small size when it comes to physical contact. And by physical contact, I get pushed around by dumb arses getting pushed by other dumb arses in waiting lines (lunch lines and bus lines, etc). All I think of for these kids is "please kids, go back to bloody elementary school and learn some discipline." I truly feel sorry for them, but at the same time I don't (TeeHee).

Sometimes I have the urge to fight. The right to defend myself indirectly, but I know it's not the subtle approach to deal with things. With all the things that have been going around at our school, my confidence level for these kids has gone to a down low. Talking to kids probably has a 10% chance of actually convincing them to be better. Time is of the essence and the issue here is how their time was used based on how they act around people. The sphere of bad influence is getting too out of hand. There should be more of a student ran committee that deals with intolerance and insubordination. Just my thoughts on the current situation.

Grow the F**! up is all I can say.

Out Beyond Ideas vs. Summons

         Where many thoughts and feelings outline the basis of human understanding, some things can't be quickly done without doubt. We question roles and tasks in life that fit our social norms. But why does everything go smoothly without the need to find its significance? There are ideas out there that exceed our understanding. And then there are some things we go on throughout the day, later placing names on such daily errands. "Out Beyond Ideas" and "Summons" suggest the nature of living out those ideas and becoming a part of something new. But there are differences waking up from bed and waking up from a field. Dreams are also different from where they follow through. Both poems demonstrate a gradual class of determining our place in the world and what we live up to do.
         In "Summons," sleep is what we need to get by in a 24 hour day. Supposedly, adolescents are suppose to get 10 hours of sleep and adults need 8 hours. A 2 hour difference is still a big deal. The human mind and body can endure the rest of the day doing other things. This only occurs when eyes are open and the body is moving. But when a person is asleep, they have something they call dreams. Other occasions, horrifying dreams are nightmares, but dreams are the important part. People don't want to escape a dream. Defying reality is set in motion when one is not conscious from a deep sleep of mind boggling wonders. That's why "Summons" justifies the happenings of dreams and sleep. For "Out Beyond Ideas," the message for sleep means lying in a field and using open-ended ideas as dreams and wondering about the diversity of thinking can get to.

Intro to Poetry

Questions about "Out Beyond Ideas"

1. What is the significance of the title?
"Out Beyond Ideas" could be a resemblance of the world's thinking and the mindset set forth by all areas of culture.
2. What is the tone of the poem?
Tone is reminiscing and incredulous
3. What is your mood as you read it?
The poem seems morbid when I think about the souls beneath the field and symbolizing something other than the greater good.
4. Is there a shift? Where? From what to what?
I don't there is a shift. There's a straightforward response from what's right and what's wrong.
5. What is the theme of the poem?
Questions are sought to be answered, but the dead carry away those thoughts and beliefs with questions unanswered in a world they sought to belong to

The point of the questions is to get the gist of interpreting a poem. Readers have to acknowledge their stand point and pick the smallest things that make up the thousand different images. I understand that these questions asked make aims for simple wording and connotations of each line.

Masterpiece: Special Edition O.R.E. Coming Soon

I'm going to write a long, tedious, most-exhilarating (hopefully), could-be-confidential, controversial original research essay on time travel. I've seen most of the explanations that I had to comprehend in order to make sense of. I've seen and derived those experiences from entertainment into the reality of time travel. Come to think of it, I need to look into articles and novels about time travel. It's science, it's magnificent, and it is dangerous. Its probably the most dangerous weapon out there that I can think of. You know nukes can destroy the Earth, but changing the course of time and manipulating space itself is unbelievable. Just thinking about time travel hypes up for new adventures. So I think I'll be reporting and researching all the things I can gather about space time continuum. All you have to do now is think of the process as a complex foundation from a simple idea.

Hamlet Essay: The theme and the quote

Quote:
What is a man,
If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
Sure he that made us with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not
That capability and god-like reason
To fust in us unused

Purpose:
In an essay that demonstrates your wild brilliance and for Pete's sake avoid plot summary at all costs, please explain how this quote contributes to your understanding of the tone and theme of Hamlet. Specifically: Which character speaks the line/s? At what point in the play/point? How do the words affect the character's own understanding, the other characters' understandings (if applicable), and the audience's understanding? Top shelf responses will include definitions of these literary elements, demonstrated understanding of the play's central message, tone, and characterization, and application of the concept of Performative Utterance.

     Any man can be at a disposition at any case that concerns his feelings of the past and the unjust events that are going to happen in the future. Hamlet has accounted for such experiences that he was at the brink of meeting his revenge without further hesitation. But as Hamlet looks back at the plans and schemes he's contrived, there was no other alternative than to see eye for eye with the one killer he calls king. "What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed?" is the basic necessity of standard living that Shakespeare emphasizes when talking about all the things Hamlet thought was just normal. Hamlet realized that it's not that simple to be a man, hence asking the question and specifically claiming the right that people deserve to be man when they think they're up to any task. Shakespeare takes on the tone and theme of man and his powers that revel his actions.
     Hamlet began to say the quote/beginning of the soliloquy of Act 4 when encountering Fortinbras's soldiers and captain. To say the least, the quote signifies man's decisions on the type of output he conceives is righteous. What the quote brings about to the tone of Hamlet is that a explanation of what life may be is actually misleading and can often lead to a tragic ending. Shakespeare ties in a satirical momentum for all characters of the play who realize that their powers are so limited that any outcome they desire is mistaken to believe in. Almost everyone in the play have made up their minds to a certain point, but the only one met outside the thinking of factual decisions is Hamlet. Thoughts and thoughts build up in Hamlet; making him a dynamic character who can't understand himself until brought to deductive reasoning. The quote manages to put Hamlet in a position to be a man, to be human who struggles at the most critical points. [In continuum]
