emily's thoughts

I'm thinking about doing a powerpoint on Emerson's ideas i will use some of his quotes. I will also be using the notes I took in class while Dr. Preston read the paragraphs on Self-Reliance. I'll maybe even include visuals to show and explain a little bit thoroughly Emerson's points. I'm gonna partner up with Alin to complete this task.

"Be yourself "- These days it's a little hard to find yourself and have confidence in yourself  but if you can do that now its a great thing. "The world has been instructed by its kings, who have so magnetized the eyes of nations" - there are people who have caught our eye with very unnecessary things that we shouldn't listen to them.   " society is a wave"- society is a very strong part of our lives and the society we live in a little confusing.    "What i must do is all that concerns me, not what people think"- what people think of us is unnecessary we don't need to care what people say about us, we know what we are doing. "If you are noble I will love you if you are not I will not hurt you and myself by hypocritical attentions" -  "All men have my blood, and I have all mens' " - were all in this together, we are all one. "No man can come through me, but through my act" - no one ca...

10/16 I'm aware that i could have done better on yesterday's writing. I had a great resource: MindMap on "Self Reliance". This resource made the writing so much easier. I could have made more sense when it came to explaining the answers to the questions on the prompt. But, now I know I can work on that the next time I have a writing assignment. Also, I could have prepared more but considering I had way too much homework it was a little difficult. even though there should be no excuses but i mean it was a little difficult to do both.

when I first began to hear the words on this story it created a lot of mystery and curiosity in my mind I didn't believe it'd cause tension in my brain wanting to know what was going to happen next so I read and became more confused than I already was

sometimes I think any authority figure just wants the best for me or any other kid but at what cost? sometimes we lose confidence in ourselves or we feel like we cant really be who we want to be because our authority figures tell us to do what we don't want to do or be because we feel its not right for us. but we do it anyway because we want to feel right even if what we did caused us to lose our confidence, or self esteem.

      The very best of the best from the best! This is my happy place.. I present Los Alamos, my tractor, 8:45 a.m. . My heaven this is the best place my thinking place, where I work on homework. You probably don't care I just wanted to post about this place so important to me.

why are boys or the male gender in general given more opportunities instead of females? And I mean with anything for example jobs, or with our parents... "he can go out, but you can't because you're a girl" I mean I don't know about anyone else's parents but my parents are strict and that's my situation my brothers are given more opportunities and well I get stereotyped by my parents HAHA.

Intermittent- ceasing for a time and then beginning again. The method I use for studying consists of intermittent . Ebb-the following back of the tide as the water returns to the sea Ive never been to a tide before but if I ever go I'd make sure to see the ebb. Regress- to go back If I could regress to the past I'd like to be 3 again and I wouldnt have to worry about anything like I do now.

I believe both ways have a lot to offer however I think if we use the new way to work with in our class will bring a lot of good effects but also bad since we deal with social media we might as well use this new way too fool anyone into believing we work on homework but in reality were just checking twitter or something. but I still believe this new way of classwork helps a lot.

I was actually surprised when I received my essay back seeing that B- felt pretty good considering I felt nothing but doubt when turning the essay in. I think I lacked on providing more of what I actually understand from diction, syntax, theme, or tone. I felt like I could've preformed a better job if it wasn't for my distractions and tiredness. But I hope to achieve a better job on the next assignment considering I actually have high expectations of myself. So there it is.

Let me just say this is the most amazing thing I've read besides the poem "Richard Cory"! This reading starts off by describing how only water existed before the earth did. Next, it talks about a the wife of  an ancient chief and how she has a dream about a tree. The woman then tells the chief about her dream and he demands to have it removed so it gets removed by the man himself. As his wife leans over to take a look at the trees' inside she slips and falls in as she holds the seeds she was going to use. As in the beginning was explained there were animals living in the water. This is what captures the lady's attention the thought of her seeing water inside the trees' trunk and that is why she falls in. The animals and birds inside the tree see the woman falling in so two swans decide to help her, they then think she is not like them and that she must live on earth. They believe the earth is under the water so they send each animal to get it but only one gets...

I think the poem Richard Cory gives me a lot to think about, i think it's tone is gloomy and very detailed. This poem gives a lot to think about because this poem shows that not everything is as it seems or sometimes we don't know how a person is feeling and we already think they're so happy and lucky, but in reality we have no idea how the person feels. Not only does this poem describe so much in very small words but it is detailed so very well.
