Final

As a learner in this course I've been able to analyze stories to a different perspective then i had before. By reading texts and listen to discussions has advanced my thinking because I get to hear different opinions from others and use those to come to conclusions and by listening to peoples opinions I can use them in everyday life and make good statements. In my own point of view, why take a side, and start an argument to "shape the world." Real people wouldn't take a side they will take an agreement where both sides meet. Rushdie wanted this to be heroic type quote because in this everyday life people want to seek out the frauds, start arguments and "shape the world." He wants people to be brave and stand up and speak up like there is no time to be pity or to be sad on not promised days just get up and make a difference. As the way I see these quotes, I see them as not the same. You cant compare everyday life with school. Once you are 18 you're on your own because that's when you chose your path, in school they try to put you on a certain path that will "benefit" you. Forget the benefits push someone to there limit to be the absolute best. In the story of "The conscience of a Hacker" a line says " Damn kid probably copied it. They're all  alike." Modern teachers prejudge a kid because they don't have the looks on being smart. The students rarely get the chances on proving their capabilities without being punished.  In the story of Young Goodman Brown he was giving chances on being on the "right path."This is a dull pace for a beginning of a journey.'' There is never a pace on your path, why half fast something and getting the job "done" but doing it wrong or just going at your own pace and getting the job done and right.

Jimmy Santiago Baca Peace

To start off everyone has a different view of "peace." We need to find peace within our selves because why focus on someone who is seeking for peace?  If there's peace the world would be a better place with a lot of clear minded people with indigo's to help peace.

Speaking Freely

Everyday I hear many people they want to be great or be rich. MOST kids or adults aren't doing anything to get to that level of success. They enjoy sleeping then working hard, they lie to themselves when they get asked "Are you working hard?" If you want to be successful you have to stop complaining and learn to cope with something that can get you better, and stop talking to the ones who complain because they don't want to be push to that limit.

Matters to me

Things that matter to me is pretty simple. My Mother matters to me the most because she keeps me the person I am today without me I could be doing bad things with the wrong person. I heard people say "nobody cant be good at something, its hard being great." I wake up everyday feeling great and amazing because I do everything for my family, i'm not stopping till they're straight, its just how i was raised. My dad matters to me as well because he's thought me to open my mind to see the bigger picture to life.  Just being able to wake up another beautiful day, smelling the fresh air, seeing different faces, and seeing my loved ones smile and having a great day.

Essay

The choices we make now are critical to the path of our own destiny. If we don't start now, notice how i say now, because all we have is now. If we don't take action into matter results will be inconclusive. Its simple psychology (if you want the light off, then your intention is needed to be completed by your actions in order to see results). Therefore applying the same exact sequence in your everyday life results will be conclusive.

If you have a goal and set your mind on to achieve it, the reality starts unfolding because your thoughts become your reality. Anybody is capable to shape ones reality, with Focused Awareness.
Focused Awareness: is awareness with high focused energy applied in a situation.
If you look at today "role models" and see there position they all have a formula that allowed them to achieve on what they have accomplished. They all had a web of thoughts they had in the past, that had led to the present moment. We are made from the same substance that the universe is made of. We are just an extension in a way for the universe to know itself. So when looking at the situation as is you see that you are one with everything that exist, and fully capable of shaping ones future reality.

Mad libs

Remember that time you ate that spicy chicken just before you went to bed on the night before the big black Friday deals?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the fascinating details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a bus stop waiting to be sent to a concentration camp.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Hillary Clinton , looking like a crazy lion who could eat a whole elephant.   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string ."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to speak up.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy birthday suit and hat and then you had make a cupcake to go back in time to the Best buy so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the fellow community and how there mass shootings  .

But right there in the Best Buy there was a giant meta humans and it started  running at everyone.  People started to scream.  You grabbed a sock from a nearby shelve and yelled .  "This is their weakness to stop the sanity." Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.

Story

The story is about the butterfly effect how small things lead to big things

Emersons Child

         He might view the election as "oh well" because we chose Hillary and Trump and the people were following there own path and having faith on what they believe is right. Moving forward as individuals is important because we are to focus on what people think. As a community and a country we need to strive for world peace, many people complain about stopping riots but aren't doing a thing. The places you should learn your goal is in your house or any place you cant remain focus. He wouldn't like it because we are being taught what we have to learn, not what we need to learn. Kids aren't comfortable in school either cant concentrate or being uncomfortable being watch by the 'ADMINISTRATORS.'  He suggests us to take or build our own paths, I should prepare by focusing on myself. Emerson means yourself as ME nobody could ever be me, I mean yeah there could be 5 billion more of me but I'm me there's no duplicate of me. I never change the way I act around others because why be someone I'm not. People say its hard to be yourself its because they never tried. I don't need anything from anyone who is just there because they know I'm the man up next. For me to 'survive' or get along I just say what's real why speak nonsense and waste breathe, speak when spoken to. For me to explain to a ten year old is to follow what you believe is right don't let anyone tell you your dumb for what you know is right. Your mind is unique put it to great uses, stay on your path don't wonder off. Always be consistent, never lie to yourself about false consistency you'll never improve yourself.

Nov 8th

So as of November 8th, Trump and Hillary gets to see who will be the president, I'm not saying one is better than the other, I'm saying "We the PEOPLE of the United States" chose this to happen we control our future and who gets to represent us. The people are complaining about both then why'd you want to be the choices. The society is just so brainwashed by the government or even the music industry. They want you to be under their control like a matrix(not going further into details). Anyways, As the PEOPLE of the United States need to work on being humane, MAKING the world a better place for us and the future, focus on what's in the near not in the rear

Emerson to a Young Buck

What I learned from Emerson is that he's teaching us to be ourselves and not to be a clone that most people, We steal others people ideas that we don't want to come up with because we are lazy and don't want to be judge by others.

Speaking Freely

As I see people on these blogs I see them not being themselves, isn't Emerson trying to teach us to be us and only us, imitation can kill us.

Emerson said it

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. This can illustrate to us a guitar, it continues on even when you're not sure it will just to trust yourself then you can be happy with everything you do

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles. What this means to me is that everybody has there own meaning of peace.

What I must do, is all that concerns me not what people think. This means to me that who cares what people judge you on, you are unique person with a great mind that shouldn't be told negative things that can bring you down.

What we stand for. This means to me that our actions are aligned with our beliefs.

Envy is ignorance, Imitation is Suicide. This means to me that
he is saying that you have to be yourself, people have to obey their own consciences rather than listening to what society tells them to do. He is saying that it is dumb to want to be like other people He is saying that trying to imitate other people is like killing yourself. 

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. This means to me Too much consistency, which you usually find in people who are not creative thinkers and choose to stick to what is known and constantly done, cuts off the flow of progress through fresh ideas and differing viewpoints

Speaking Freely

Just to speak freely I say that young kids or teenagers should be focused on what they what to accomplish in life if they don't have anything then, convince them with the money pay, since kids love money. Why have kids learn something they'll never use in a million years? Majority of the teenagers will learn street smarts. How can someone be successful if they are chasing to many things?

Im Self Reliant

To keep this in PG, I think Emerson is awesome because he compares certain things with people, just as calling society a wave. There was things I didn't understand about that's when I use the internet and look up the phrase he just said.

RESPECT MY AUTHORITY

My mother she motivates me and makes sure i stay on my path to success because i told myself im on a mission with no distractions, the police threaten us they think they scare with there guns and how they scream at us but really everyone is just slowing me down on where i need to get.

INCITINT INCIDENT

To me i would've thought that it would be more thrilling. Leo was accused for being a nut, the police officer took him to a psychiatric center, he was just walking wasnt bothering a soul.

MISTAKES FOR PRESIDENT

In my opinion they're both ignorant people, they took shots at each other back and forth. Going back to the same topic, also trump is about economics, he has been bankrupt too many times but the man is a billionaire, he wants this bubble to pop before elections because if it goes into the office time it could get catastrophic, hillary on the other hand in my opinion is dialed in on whats going on, she knows about this jubilee that we dont know like material law or even worse. In all i think they both shouldnt be president because they'll lead us to death.

My Aeries

The grade on my essay was a B, reason is that because I left out syntax and diction, if those were in there I would've got an A. My reaction towards the essay was like mad, because I could've done better than I have wrote. I feel like I earned an A because ive done 110% on everything, I lead than follow, overall if there would be a grade I would deserve an A

literature analysis questions

I chose the book " Tuck everlasting" it is about a girl names Winnie and a family who she meets they're last names are the Tucks. The Tucks have a secret, and its immortality. They have this power because they drank water from this spring. Winnie falls in love with one of the Tucks, Jesse he is "17" years old he has many common things with Winnie. Winnie is scared of death, she has to chose between immortality and being with Jesse or following the life cycle and dying someday. The Tucks try to teach her its okay to be afraid of death, they want to die because of the water they've drank. This story teaches importance and understanding of life and death. It shows that you should not fear death but fear the unlived life. The theme of this story are greediness, love, and the nature life cycle. If I would imagine the authors morning routine. I would say she stays up a week straight trying to make things perfect, she wouldn't drink coffee because she doesn't want to get hooked on it. She would be more of a meditators because she talks about immortality and people with the open third eyes can understand the concept to things like that. She wouldn't be a drinker because she would have a closed mind and wouldn't be as opened. Her breakfast would be like pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, strawberries, milk, and hash browns. The narrator knows a lot about a lot. She can zoom in and out on all the characters jump from place to place even reads thoughts on the main characters. Even from the first paragraph in the prologue she said "one day at that time, not so very long ago, three things happened and at first there appeared to be no connection between them." the narrator talks about Mae Tuck then to Winnie Foster then talks about the location.

young goodman brown questions

1. The purpose of this story is that to stay on the path of god and not go to the dark side
2. To me faith in the story doesn't fit her personality because she's just there and hasn't nothing to do with faith. Young Goodman brown doesn't have faith in her.
3. The pink ribbons signifies faith in the story
4. At first it was his figment of his imagination because he wasn't looking deeply to what he was following and seeing things in the trees, but he soon realizes that its real and he's been siding with the devil.
5. The old man was the devil, an old lady shout its the devil, also the minster can't even talk to him for sided for him.
6. The snake is represented as temptation and evil. The devil offers him the staff to support him on the journey. If the conscience or mind lead him forward in the journey he would've stopped in the very begin.
7. His life would be different by having his faith and being on the good side. He lost everything he loved, he would still have faith if he stayed home. Yes he would trust his wife and townspeople

Young Goodman Brown

In this story the mood for me is just calm. Reason is, its because its just an innocent man who is stuck in a evil he can't escape from. I can understand what he is thinking with everyone being a devil, its because most people can be good on the outside but evil on the inside. The adventures he takes through the woods are just to get away from people

conscience of a hacker

In the story he talks about school and how teachers work at a slow pace because everyone in class is ignorant. Also they think we have no future in us. They suspect more from us since we've "spoon fed" but reality that doesn't nobody because if we don't learn on our own we'd all go stupid. Learning things on our own would open the mind and would be more interested into things.

The Earth on Turtles Back

In "The Earth on Turtles Back" its showing that how different species came together to make the world a better place. Also, it resembles people uniting to make Earth a better place for us, animals and the unknown.

Impression Richard Cory

My first impression on Richard Cory was that he was brave for putting a bullet through his head and was a cool young fellow. I would like to know why he killed himself if he was a person that people wanted to be.
