I seek a mentor who knows how to run things on their own. They needn't follow other people's examples or procedures, simply put in perspective of the mentor's pathway. One shouldn't give a f**k about what other people think because that way it shows how strong they are to put up with others who don't abide by expressing one's ideas. Independence is one thing and putting trust in that mentor's hands is best to ask for. One should not be perfect, therefore have a weakness to confirm in order to retaliate it with a strength. There should be similar interests, which in turn have conflicting interests so things won't get too boring.
Questions for the Mentor:
What background do you come from and how do you expect to use that to your advantage as a mentor?
What are your exceptions of the future?
How organized are you?
Define what it means to live by the motto.
If you had to give a speech, what would it be comprised of?
What goal do you seek as being a mentor?
The mentor is the one whose leading and is experienced. I have to learn on the way to begin the process.

Masterpiece Progression
Yes, I know I need to get working on my masterpiece, but I know it's set. My plans now are to present my masterpiece without a visible representation (if that). I was my listeners to basically listen. Hear what I have to say about sociology in connection to medicine in connection to time travel in connection to dance. I want to take in all the ideas that I'm super passionate about about put it into your minds.
"Is that called mind blowing?"
My current thinking right now has to go into writing a report about time travel so I still need to research all the things about it. It's been difficult to make time for that so, I'll get that done during Spring Break as well as connecting everything else. That's basically it, unless there are any open suggestions out there....

Dulce Et Decorum Est (1) by Wilfred Owen - Vendler Grid Poetry Analysis
Meaning: The title of the poem and the last lines of in itself means that soldiers die for their country even in the most fateful and horrid situation, yet still fight. Men in war die for what is right, which in turn becomes an outrageous experience of weapons that cause terrific suffering imaging.
Antecedent Scenario: War never changes. Consequences in battle led to the explanation of the whole scene as men battling for one's country fight in trenches. This is what is occurring before the poem even starts, therefore initiating the status quo.
A Division into Structural Parts: The scenes go bit by bit as soldiers align themselves in the trench. When an attack is imminent, another scene describes the struggles of war. The last part is determined by how ironic one fights for the purpose of country "It is sweet and honorable to die for one's country" as the Latin phrase says.
The Climax: Watching a fellow comrade go down in history is where the climax begins because the rising action leads up to the enemy crossing "no man's land" into enemy territory and following through the assault. As the main character watches his man at arm's suffer, his thoughts rattle of an overbearing sight that changed his overview into the account of all the possible ways to die.

Tobermory Explained
The tone of the story was meant to create a bland, plainful gray setting with the introduction of a character such as Cornelius Appin to flare the party. Nothing is so special about one man to make a day interesting. The suggestive theme could be expect nothing less from one person and expect more from what we do to make the day go on.

Brave New World Essay
There is a big difference between humanity and individualism. The individual finds oneself in a world of struggle and overcomes that conflict as a whole. Humanity on the other hand is recognizing people's interest and preserving the fate of being a human. Two concepts clash in segments within the context of Brave New World. The importance of both is how much one can about how life as a person living both ideas should accept perfection among all. Even when perfection is ideal, it contradicts the beliefs of what it is to become a person who feels differently. Humans are definite in the structure of conditioning, hence the conflicts that arise in our inner self to act against perfection and outright societal demands. In the notion of outward conformity and inward questioning, literary techniques follow the deeper meaning of Brave New World in respect to the parts of understanding life through conscious determinants.
Consciousness lies between the fundamental human morals and individual thought process. Civilized people think of happiness as a luxury, such as Lenina and Bernard from Brave New World. Nothing sticks out more when soma is involved or a hypnopaedic person whose life goal is to achieve it. Because society asserts their wants for such emotions, not having someone in an example of Romeo and Juliet juxtaposes the conformist idea of having anyone they want in the suspected Brave New London. But the moral about happiness does't relate to content or rejoice, since the motif of a "blushing" or "flushed" face resembles nonchalant emotions than a reflective countenance. This internal conflict is affected by society as an outrageous practice, therefore it supports the book's deeper meaning of individual discovery. There's also a contrast in the internal feelings that Bernard suspects of transformation, but clings to ideas of a neutral state. The struggle within man himself defines the overarching solution of society fixing unruly statuses around conflicting peoples.
The world wasn't made to be perfect. Otherwise, people conceive perfection. In the novel, "universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can't." The dichotomy from the text suggests that everyone should believe in true happiness while letting go of the important prospects that may tarnish the meaning of perfection. Its an ultimatum that follows no righteous morals and so divides happiness apart from truth and beauty. Humanity could be lost without acknowledging the things that built over it. "The huge table-topped buildings were no more...a bed of geometrical mushrooms sprouting from the green of a park and garden" is seen to be a metaphor to how the infrastructure people builds on comes from a source of nature. There's history to the origin of human when nature is involved and with that being taken away in Brave New World, it symbolizes a thoughtful response of consciousness toward the environment and technological progress. Its also clear to think of the closeness of people to abstract things. The simile: "Like the vague torsos of fabulous athletes, huge fleshy clouds filled the blue air..." is determined by perfect images of people that carry on a popular support for humanity.
Individualism and humanity hinders a thin line, which in turn is blurred. Civilized individuals try to figure out the world with what they think or what they hear. That's where they choose to become content with how the world perceives. One things for sure, one can't live without both present because too many problems arise when one overcomes the other. There's a balance of working things out, whether shunned by one or can't find one's purpose in life, people look for other sources. Brave New World takes the readers to the context of simple inward questioning and outward conformity so that there's a general understanding of how the current world functions. An individual thrives to questioning all sorts of things, but the main focus to solving our problems is looking back at how it all started.

3K
I hit that 3K, 3,000 views on my blog. It's quite satisfying for people to look at a student's work and think about whatever. Impressed, disregarded, fool's choice, "not for traditional students", or whatever. I want to see more of that. Question the significance of online learning. Yes, there are some bad sides to it, but utilize the good parts while you're at it. Use it while the Brave New World we live in actually partakes in a grand networking of activities available to us now.
Open Source Learning is the grand scheme of it all, but the students themselves participating in it is what builds the idea. To be honest, I like my senior English class for what is now besides I really can't stand a traditional one. You could call it a dream come true, while I call it reality.

What's your definition of an American Dream?
I would define an American Dream in general that follows this criteria:
Born American citizen-
1. Go through preschool, kindergarten, and elementary
2. Graduate junior high school
3. Graduate high school and get your diploma
4. Go to college, earn your degree
5. Go back to college, earn a higher degree
6. Apply for dream job
7. Settle down with your earnings
8. [Fill in the Blank]
Non-American Citizen (may vary)-
1. Obtain citizenship
2. Work through minimum wage or higher jobs
3. Send money back to family from home country
4. Go to college and earn a degree
5. Go back to college and earn a higher degree
6. Apply for dream job
7. Settle down with earnings
8. [Fill in the Blank]
Prove me wrong. Add suggestions. My opinions and thoughts about the culture today. The American Dream is not perfect to obtain and it's actually harder to gain any other way. The individual defines what the American Dream is and I don't really follow up to it, but as I think back to how the system works, it does apply to me. The 'fill in the blank' section can be anything you wish to do with it.
