A HUG IS NEARLY A GUN SPELLED BACKWARD
             
      Do you believe that a complete connection between people is more significant than an utterly love for one's country? I agree with E.M Fosters view that personal relations  are more significant than patriotism. Personal Relations is referred to as an immediate connection between Family, Friends, and Partnerships. Family, the idea of Family is a high priority; family comes first. Families are always there for you through thick and thin. Families always embrace their love for you. They are the individuals who have known you since the day you've laid your eyes upon this place we call earth. Friends, they are the ones who have know you for a long period of time. A friend is someone who you can talk to about a situation, they are the individuals you can trust and tell your deepest darkest secrets and they are always there to lend a hand. Partnerships, they are the romantic partners who are exceedingly close to you. Partnerships create this special bond of mutual affection. It's important to retain a personal relations, studies show that retaining a personal relation is healthy for one. Personal relation creates a long life span for one and it helps those dealing with stress. On the other hand, without a personal relation it can lead to a detrimental to your health and can lead to depression. Patriotism is the feeling of love and admiration for a nation. For instance, The Pledge of Allegiance is a showing that you care, admire and love your country. Not only does The Pledge of Allegiance show this great sense of pride but it's also "important" to teach the young in showing their pride for their country and to teach them that it's important to help your country. But one can get to carried away with patriotism leading to great dispute. More likely, patriotism can lead to war. Ultimately, personal relations is worldly than patriotism.

WHEN LOGIC FAILS

1. Argumentum ad hominem
     Example: how can you say you are raw vegan when your eating cooked vegetables
2. Argumentum ad antiquitatem
     Example: Marriage has always been between a male and a female therefore, gay marriage should be forbidden
3. Argumentum ad ignorantiam
     Example: No one has proven that god doesnt exist, therefore he does.
4. Argumentum ad logicam
     Example: I have never seen a ghost therefore, ghosts don't exist.
5. Argumentum ad nauseam
     Example: Hillary: "Donald supported the invasion of  Iraq"
                     Trump: " Wrong, Wrong, Wrong"
6. Argumentum ad populum
     Example: The athletic director should spend on other sports than just football when the football team sucks.
7. Complex question
     Example: Have you stopped consuming drugs?
8. Nature, appeal to
     Example: pollution is unnatural because us humans dump trash and don't clean up after ourselves.
9. Slippery Slope
     Example: legalizing gay marriage in California can lead to other states like Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky  to legalize gay marriage.
10. Tu quoque ('you to")
     Example: she accused her of cheating, but she cheated too.

            MISTAKES FOR PRESIDENT

I'm going to be honest I don't understand politics and it's tedious. But watching these two cats fight was kinda interesting. After observing each individually, Trump uses lots of hand gestures while Hillary doesn't. Trump doesn't let anything get in his way. He says what he has to say. And he does lots of funny faces although I don't think he means to. Whereas Hillary she just keeps backfiring Trump constantly. For instance, she declares that "Donald supported the invasion of Iraq" in which Trump keeps denying "Wrong, Wrong" She also uses "racist" to describe Trumps behavior.

IM READING 13 REASONS WHY BY JAY ASHER

SOMETIMES MY MIND...


I was told several times to watch Game of Thrones, but to me it didn't seem to catch my eye, dragons, kings, queens, knights etc. its nothing but fake. So on Saturday I had nothing to do, really I just didn't want to do my home work so it was either to try to watch Game of Thrones or Do Homework. So I gave Game of Thrones a chance. And I regret what I said. I just finished watching season 1 and can't wait to watch the second season but I can only watch Game of Thrones on the weekend. So all I have in mind is whats going to happen on the second season? I can't believe they chopped the head off of Eddard Stark Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North? What is Daenerys Princess of House Targaryen going to do after the loss of her child and husband? Winter is Coming

To answer my big question, my ideal mentor would be someone who knows about space, an Astronomer. Who can tell me more in depth about the planet mars. How mars functions, what the temperature is in mars, does oxygen even exist up there.

BAD WORDS
What makes a word BAD? Bad words are a language that is uncivil and can sometimes be offensive to one. But in my opinion I think that there is no such thing as a BAD WORD. They're just words.
For instance, if I say "BITCH" one would gasp and say to themselves "Did she just say the B word" And yes so what. It's just a word. Many people find this word Bad but why? It's the connotation and the popular meaning that is used today in this world is what makes us humans think the word is Bad.

Big Brothers First Impression
In Politics and the English Language, George Orwell says that language is "ugly and innacurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.”  he is clearly trying to say that we make many awful mistakes when writing and are habits of using language is easy for us to make foolish thoughts.

Satire Project
















Satire Project Idea
1. For my satire project I will create an illustration so readers can better understand see  what's going on with this world and whats occurring around us.  I want the readers to see what I see that's horribly happening in this world. I to see if they see the same as I do.

2. Since i'm doing an illustration, instead of using word i'm going to use pictures.

3. For my satire project i'm going to discuss about chunk foods at school. The school administration wants us to eat healthy, but look what they're giving us Cheetos, dominos, etc.


Literature Analysis Question #1
1. "ROOM" by Emma Donoghue is about a five year old boy named Jack and is told from his perspective. Jack and his mother are both held captive in a small room. Since Jack had never had contact with the outside world, the small room is the only place that he had ever known and believes that the things that surround him are real. For instance, the tv, the kitchen, the bathtub, the wardrobe, and the bed. The only human being that Jack had contact with other than his mother was Old Nick, who only comes at night when Jack is asleep. Old Nick is the only person who can bring supplies and food for Jack and his mother. Finding out that Old Nick was going to lose his house, Jack's mother feared that Old Nick was going to kill them. Ma had an idea, that Jack should fake his own death and seek for aide. Jack had faked his death by having a high fever due to the lack of vitamins. Ma's plan was a success. Jack and ma were know able to live a normal life without the feeling of being incarcerated in a small space.
2. I believe that the theme of this novel is home because Jack never had contact with the outside world and the room was his world. He believed that everything in the room was real.
3. Based on the authors tone, I imagine Emma's morning routine as waking up taking a look outside her balcony and seeing how wonderful and great this world is. Like Jack, the room is his world in which he thinks is wonderful unlike his mother she thinks the room is a very unpleasant place to be in, and always having fear and being trapped and incarcerated. Breakfast, I can imagine Emma eating a perfectly great healthy meal, like Jack and his ma they always have vitamins to keep themselves healthy and strong. I can also imagine Emma exercising to keep herself healthy and in shape. Like Jack and his ma, everyday Jack and ma would always exercise and would always have a competition to see who is the fastest runner. 
4. Foreshadowing is one literacy technique I saw in the book. For instance, " Now that i'm 5, ma says that room is too small for me. she says there's things outside the walls." meaning Jack has grown up and that the room is too small and it's about time that jack gets to see the outside world, which foreshadows them soon escaping. Another literacy technique I saw in the book is alliteration and repetition. "It's called mind over matter. If we don't mind it doesn't matter.when a bit of me hurts o always mind." Not only does this show alliteration but also repetition, the words repeat themselves and the words commence with the same sounds. Another literacy technique I saw was simile. " I look back one more time. It's like a crater, a hole where something happened." This is a simile because Jack compares his room to a giant crater with a hole.
