<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Who would’ve ever imagined that I would end up liking my
English class. Since I’ve started school I have never actually liked my English
class. I always found it boring to learn about all these literary techniques,
poetry, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary words, etc.… the only thing I didn’t
find boring was reading of course. I love reading with and can never get tired
of it, well actually I lie. There’s times where I don’t feel like reading. All
my thoughts and opinion towards an English class changed this year! I am happy
and thankful for having Dr. Preston as a teacher because he has taught me in a
way that no other English teacher has taught me. Dr. Preston just has that
special way of teaching which makes us understand things in a less difficult/ confusing
way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
year’s English class has been so different from any others, as I have mentioned
previously. There’s something about our class that no other class of mine has
ever had, and that is a special bond. We are like a little family in that
classroom that has come closer and closer day by day since the beginning of the
year. We have made a lot of choices along the way, choices that were pretty
much done as a class. As the days went by, we got to know each other better by
working together or talking, by doing presentations, Socratic seminars, group
work, or even just sitting at our seats and listening to DP talk. As we have
come together and connected in a very special way, I feel like I do and so do
the others deserve that high level of trust. We have earned that high level of
trust by showing the rest what we have to offer them, which is our friendship
and trust. What was made in that class will forever be with many and I know one
of those persons will be me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We read
a lot this year in my English class. Not many but enough for me to make some
type of connection. I can say that I feel a connection between Emerson and I because
he says how we can’t let others make our decisions for us. I agree with the
point he is trying to make in “self-reliance.” When I was reading his essay, I
felt like if I was the one who was talking and not him. I could also relate to
“The Right to Your Opinion.” Everyone in this world has the right to say what
they want. Freedom of speech is what we usually use in our everyday lives. We
say our thought out loud for everyone to hear. I can connect in some way with
this work because I do believe and agree to us having the right to speak. But,
when speaking we can’t just say what we think. We always should be prepared
with evidence or backup information to our statement. The last one is “The
Laughing Heart” by Charles Bukowski. I love how Bukowski says how we you can
make every day of your life better. I can somehow connect with him because that’s
what I tell myself. For example, when I’m having a bad day I tell myself “tomorrow
will a new day and better one!” I always try to keep a positive mentality just
like the author does. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I have
reconnected with a passion that drives me this year. That passion is called
reading and I have learned to love it again. Back in Junior High School I would
read about 2 books every week. I used to love reading in Junior High that I
even joined battle of the books and read almost all the books in the list. All
that love that I had for reading started fading away when I got to high school.
My freshman year I was assigned reading for homework. Even though I liked
reading, I didn’t like reading when it was assigned to me, especially when I
had to read something that I didn’t like. I started getting assigned books that
didn’t interest me and were too boring for me to read. But, junior year in Dr.
Preston’s AP Language and Composition class, it all changed. I started getting
that passion back for reading. As Dr. Preston introduced me to a lot of work
and authors/writers I became very interested and began to read on my own once
again. I will continue my learning in reading by not letting my passion fade
away like freshman year. I will try to keep reading in my life as I proceed
with my learning in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I don’t
remember all the times I have laughed in this course, there was just so many
that I lost count of all. The recently laughed, I think it was last week when
we were doing presentations for our big questions. Luis’s presentation about
dreaming consisted of many funny moments. I have laughed multiple times, especially
with my group because we each have some humor in us. There was also this time
where I laughed when I were reading “The Great Gatsby.” The thing that made me
laugh about “The Great Gatsby” was how Daisy was so stupid to realize what was
going on around her. How dumb she was just made me laugh out loud to myself
because it was so absurd. This is one of the reasons why I love reading because
of how funny each character can be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A unifying
theme runs through a minimum of five presentations would be a connection. Everyone
who has presented their big question so far, has made a connection with themselves
to their big question. Of course, our big question is something we wonder about
a lot and want to find an answer. Us wanting to find an answer drives us to
make connections with ourselves that we see if we can find some clues or at
least something. For example, Liliy connected her big question to her dad, Marino
connected his to his passion to soccer, Leydi connected hers to her shopping,
etc. we all somehow connected our big question to each other’s lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I can’t
say that I have fully completed the hero’s journey, I still feel like I need
some things I need to do to complete it. I might be a hero to some but not
everyone. I know some people that look up to me and thank me for being me. I know
because they have told me before and just by hearing that makes me the happiest
person alive. It also makes me realize that I am doing something good with my
life by making the right choices. I charge my battery completely to charge
others people batteries, in other words. I love things for others and helping
them out because that’s just me. I do more for people than I do for myself
because that’s what makes me happy. In the beginning of the year I was always
wondering who my mentor was going to be. I thought about it too much and didn’t
realize what was around me. My mentor or should I say mentors, are my friends. I
conquer a challenge that I thought I would never be able to do. That was
writing an essay in 25 minutes. Yes, I was able to write a whole 5 paragraph essay
in 25 minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In conclusion,
this course has opened and offered me a lot of opportunities that I would have
never imagines. I am very thankful for being able to go through this year’s English
class journey. I will forever be grateful because I learned many things that I’m
pretty sure I wouldn’t have learned in another English class. The things I have
gained and learned from this English class, I will forever carry it with me. I know
it will come in handy one day, probably next year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> When we read something, what is the first thing we usually
think about? We can’t really visualize or fully understand something if it doesn’t
include any literary devices. Reading the work of someone else is very different
than reading our own. Each person has their own way of thinking; expressing themselves
that leads them to write their own way, with their own choice of words. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The authors
diction is this reading is pretty straight forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, we can’t tell right away by
reading the beginning that it’s colloquial. The way the words are used makes me
imagine myself having a conversation with my friend. For example, when he says,
“I whipped out my IPhone and started snapping pics of my breakfast.” It’s funny
to think about how I can imagine myself saying that. Now, his use of syntax is
imagery. It’s an agreement due to us, or myself, being able to relate to what
the writer is talking about. It just creates a big scenery inside my head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Just by
choosing a connection between words can be wonderful. As I read along, word per
word, sentence by sentence, I felt every emotion. The tone of the author helped
me visualize and enjoy the reading. The authors tone can be described as
humorous. He’s not really talking in a formal way from what I read. A rhetorical
strategy is attitude because the author is describing his emotions towards his situation.
For example, “I wish I could share the meal with her.” It shows how the person
is feeling by the choice and order of the words.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>All literary
devices matter when writing. Due to colloquial diction, imagery
syntax/agreement, humorous tone and attitude in rhetorical strategies, I was
able to visualize every word. The choice of words and structure have a meaning.
We can make connections in many ways that will help us understand the reading
better. The choice of tone just made me really excited and helped me enjoy the
reading a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In conclusion,
I can say that I can relate with the author in many ways. His way of writing
helped build up to his main point with amazing details. Using the correct words

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> When we hear the word “education,” what do we think about? We
obviously think about school, either if it’s elementary, middle school, high
school, or college. Going to school means us getting an education and learning
new things. Most of the time, we don’t see the point of attending school or
that it’s beneficial. Yes, school can be boring sometimes but we must know that
we can get far in life with a higher education. Getting an education shouldn’t be
taken by granted, since many people, especially children, around the world don’t
have the opportunity to attend a school. Education plays an important role in
our everyday lives. Due to the education, they provide us, we can get far in
live and determine our future. Just keep in mind that education, no matter the
level, is very important and beneficial. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Thinking
about college and everything that must do with it, we sometimes think first
about money wise. Paying for college can be very stressful which is why many
college students get a job during the summer or while they’re going to school. A
research mentions how college student’s unemployment has increased throughout
the years. Many jobs prefer a fulltime worker than a part-time worker, like a
college student, which is why they unemployed them. Getting unemployed and not
having money to pay for college is not an excuse for students not to attend
school. Yes, it might be expensive, but all that will pay off at the end. Due to
the expenses, we sometimes wonder if a college education is worth the cost. At times,
we might say that it isn’t worth the cost but as we grow wiser and get more
informed about that field we can say that college is definitely worth the cost.
A higher education helps us develop in many ways that will benefit us. For example,
source B mentions, “Being ready on DAY ONE, may have sounded nice on the
campaign trail, but being able to draw on one’s education over a lifetime is
much more practical (and precious). Post-secondary education should help
students to discover what they love to do, to get better at it, and to develop
the ability to continue learning so that they become agents of change—not
victims of it.” A higher education comes in handy and can be useful later in our
lives, either by helping develop our own character, skills, potentials,
abilities and many more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>College
doesn’t always have to be about money and taking out loans to pay off your
education. Many of us love education and don’t mind anything about it, which
helps us to not worry much about what surrounds it. Like I mentioned before,
education doesn’t have to only be about money, we can use it to make ourselves
happy and distract us in a way. We come to think about money wise when we know
what major we’re going to study. The cost of your high education depends on
what major we want to study and the amount of time. Getting a higher can
education doesn’t always have to affect us in a negative way, it can also
affect us in a positive way. For example, source d mentions, “A new study even
shows that a bachelor’s degree pays off for jobs that don’t require one:
secretaries, plumbers and cashiers. And, beyond money, education seems to make
people happier and healthier.” We live an experience that not many people can. In
other words, everything we do in life is worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Not doing
something and not taking the challenge is the easy way out to this situation. College
is not only expensive but it’s also a challenge that not everyone can deal
with. Keeping up with that level of education can be very hard to handle and
keep up with. It’s a challenge that can change our lives for good and bad. But,
we don’t always have to look at it that way, it’s an opportunity and/or
challenge that can make an impact in our lives and make us better and more
responsible people. When working in that level of high education, we can feel
the pressure mostly every day, due to the following: homework, time-management,
tests/exams, midterms and most importantly, our grades. Working under that type
of pressure we sometimes don’t perform at our best, and tend to lack here and
there. For example, source E mentions, “- But Thiel is convinced that the
social pressure for students to pursue “lower-risk trajectories” in their
career choices will lead to less innovation in the future.” In reference of the
source, I can agree with it. Working under pressure isn’t easy and pleasant, it
can overpower us and bring us down. Education can affect us, positively and
negatively, we choose which one we want by our actions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In conclusion,
a higher education is very worth it, even though it might seem like a challenge
to deal with it for quite a long time. It might be a little pricey, but just in
mind that it will pay off at the end when you have everything you have at the
moment in that point of your life. An education doesn’t always have to be about
learning math, science, historical details and all those classes they make you
take, rather it’s more like you developing into a new person with better goals
and challenges. We can grow out of comfort zone and become more of confident
and self-developed person. So, in my own opinion, I do say that a higher
education is worth the cost and that it prepares students for more than just a
job or career. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li>My big question was and still is, "What happens after we die? Is there such thing as heaven or hell?" I'm really curious to know if what I have heard is really true. I know they say if you believe it then it's actually true, which I do believe that there is such thing as heaven and hell, even purgatory. </li>
<li>One thing I did over break to explore my question is when I went to church, which was like around 4 times, I paid really close attention to everything there. When I was there it was different than other times I have gone. I started to picture everything in my head and made a whole scene about it. I also paid really close attention to the readings and gospel during mass, not that I don't pay attention when I go but yeah, you get my point.</li>
<li>something I learned by exploring over break was that when you really pay close attention to something you always wonder about or are curious to know, you might think of things that you might have never thought of before. Life can be interesting sometimes.</li>
<li>A connection I see between what we've read in this course is that from the books we've read, at least one character has to die. So, I always wonder, where do they go? I know they're just imaginary characters but I still have the curiosity to know where they went.</li>
<li>What am I doing next? Hmmmmm...... I don't really know at the moment. Maybe............... get deeper into my big question and go further in to exploring. </li>

<br /></div>
<div>
It might be beneficial to watch a books movie sometimes because you can actually see what happens visually. You can get a better picture or thought towards everything that happens. When reading a book we sometimes don't understand something or don't catch something and we might see that in the movie. It's very helpful but sometimes it can have its negativities it can be negative in a way because the movie might have something that the book doesn't mention. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today's movie that we watched is way different from the one I have seen. It's very similar but the quality is the only thing that is different. The movie I have seen is way different from what I saw today. The movie starts with a different scene. Kind of like the book starts. Other than that, everything seemed the same. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, to answer the question... watching the movie to a book is beneficial because of how you can visually see it. .<br /><div>

The notion of the American dream figures prominently in this story. How do readers define the American dream? Moreover, is pursuing the American dream necessarily a good thing?</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="post-footer" style="background-color: #eee9dd; border-bottom-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #666555; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 20px -2px 0px; padding: 5px 10px;">
To many of us, the American Dream is something everyone looks up to. Not everyone will or has the luck to live that or maybe it's not about luck, perhaps it's just us. In the Great Gatsby we see that the American dream can turn your life upside down. Gatsby rose from poor into the rich world out of nowhere. In my personal opinion, I don't think he tried as hard. If you really want something in life you have to go after it and accomplish it. In life, nothing everything will come to you if you don't try. In order to get what you want you have to work everything off and set your mind only to that. Many times, the American dream can turn from a dream into an obsession. An obsession because we want it so bad that we don't care what we do.<br />
When we hear the words "American Dream," money is probably the first thing that pops into our head. Then living status, cars, parties, and all that extravagant stuff. In The Great Gatsby we see that the American Dream is all about the fortune and the good quality living status. A man with a extremely huge house just for himself. A man throwing these extravagant parties for the people, not for him. Everyone knowing him and always talking about him. We might come to realize that the American dream might be all that just because that's how we see it in The Great Gatsby, but in reality, it's not. The American Dream is about having a better future and having something that mostly all people don't get to have, so due to that we have to cherish it. The American Dream doesn't necessarily always have to be about the money and luxuries. Just by accomplishing what you want in this life can be considered the American Dream. Having a stable home, job, and family in America can be more than enough. Becoming a better person or living in a better status can be a great example of the American Dream.<br />
The American Dream doesn't always have to be a bad thing for the people. It might have its negatives but it sure does have its positives too. Keeping the people believing will make them better by having something to motivate them in life. People don't accomplish things if they don't put their minds to it. We have to put our minds to something we really want to accomplish in order for us to reach it. Not having motivation is like a bird not having wings. A bird without wings can't really get to where it wants to go, it can go places but it'll just take him longer or he might not even get there. For example, Gatsby used to live in North Dakota with his poor farming family. He knew that that life wasn't for him and he was supposed to be up there in society no matter what. He was determined in what he wanted so he strived to accomplish it. He once had a Dream, but he accomplished it. He might have not done much to accomplish it, let's just say he was one lucky man. Everything in life can come easy or it can come hard, it's up to us to decide which way we want it.<br />
The American Dream can be bad for some people. We might wish is so bad that it can become an obsession. It might be an obsession that we might do anything but everything we do might come out bad. When we wish for something we always have to understand that we might not always be able to accomplish it. Everything in this life has a price, it can either be money or even our own life's. There are people in this world that might be living what we really desire, so we learn to envy them and after to hate them. Wishing of the American Dream can bring hatred to his world that can lead to very serious situations. In The Great Gatsby we see that Gatsby has a somewhat obsession, not of the American Dream but with the love of his life. He outgrew and obsession towards Daisy due to what he accomplished. He wanted the American Dream so bad to prove to Daisy that he was worth it. He accomplished that thinking that Daisy will realize what she's missing and come back to him like she was once his. Due to his obsession he didn't realize how bad of a person Daisy really was. Daisy was a girl with a Dream, she wanted everything in this world, which includes money. Daisy was a horrible gold digger. But Gatsby was too blind with his obsession for him to realize that.<br />
In conclusion, the American Dream is something everyone wants in this life. It can bring negatives and positives to people lives but that's just how it works. There will be things that will challenge you to see if you can overcome them and see what kind of a person you are. We all have a Dream in this world, and for most, it's the American Dream. We just have to realize that not everything comes free to our hands. We as individuals have to work hard in order to achieve our goal. To overcome all obstacles and be better persons each day. Looking at the American Dream with much desire, will probably help in our journey to obtaining it. But let's not diside it to much, for it might become and obsession. </div>

<br />
In my opinion, I feel like this chapter makes a turn in everything that's going on in the story.-<br />
<br />
- Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, Nick and Jordan go into town to get a drink.<br />
- Gatsby tells Daisy to tell Tom the truth, how she truly feels about him compared to Gatsby<br />
- Gatsby and Tom start arguing<br />
- To calm stuff down Daisy leaves the room and Gatsby goes after her<br />
- Nick realizes that it's his 30th birthday <br />
- Gatsby and Daisy are driving while the run over and kill Myrtle<br />
- Nick, Tom and Jordan discover the horrible scene<br />
<br />

<br />
Is Gatsby really a bad person?<br />
- I say he isn't<br />
- Most of the people in my group say he is<br />
<br />
Is Daisy selfish?<br />
- Everyone in my group agreed she is due to her only caring about herself and not the people that surround her<br />
<br />
Why does Gatsby through these extravagant parties?<br />
- I say because he wishes for Daisy for come to one of his public parties one of these days<br />
- The rest of my group says, he throws these parties to show to Daisy on what she's missing on ( his wealth ). How her life would've been different if she would've waited for Gatsby<br />
<br />
After all this discussion..................... our group broke up due to disagreement 😂<br />

I understand what the book is trying to tell it's readers but I don't fully understand it. All I know is that Gatsby isn't really mentioned in the book even though the book is entitled after him, Tom is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle, nobody likes Tom because he's a douche, etc.....<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So for my remix I'm going to ask some questions that will hopefully help me understand the book better...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
•Why is Gatsby a mysterious person and mostly nobody knows who he is or how he is? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
•If Tom is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle, then why doesn't he divorce her already? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
•Why isn't Gatsby at his own party!?!? 🤔</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
•Does Nick like Jordan?? 🙄🤔</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

• Spectroscopic- energy about the event<br />
• Book symbol- Gatsby doesn't want people to think that he's fake<br />
<br />
• Why isn't Gatsby at his own party? Isn't the right thing for the host to he present at their one. Party welcoming its guest?<br />
<br />
•Superficiality- how people look at each other<br />
<br />
•Quote "This is an unusual party for me. I haven't even seen the host"<br />
<br />
•Gatsby's word- "Old Sport"<br />
•Expectaion of Gatsby- florid and corpulent person in his middle years.<br />
<br />
• The lonely crowd- it's considered lonely because in a big party nobody seems to pay attention to you due to the big number of people there.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00781762031740874397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6625880658314212835.post-91699655814207095692017-01-30T14:02:00.000-08:002017-01-30T14:02:08.450-08:00The Great Gatsby Chapter 1 Quiz<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
