Journal 3

--Chapter 5: “I had shut the door.... I never seen such a son.”

From the fear I saw in huck's voice from the voice I came up with as I read the lines it's as almost he was fearful

of his father which If has me believe that Mark Twain had a harsh type of dad(43). As from the father's point of

view personally I don;t see why he would want his son to do well because I always thought that you would want

your children to have a better life than you. Yet, I see how he could be angered and it's not that he's so angrey at

Huck for doing well but that he feels like its a reminder that he could of does something with his life and try to get

an education but he didn't.

Kindred Project Questions

1. My favorite Poem was the one that Kat, Sebastian and Michelle. I really liked the language and how it was put together.

2.Tia's group were the ones who I think had the best picture. The way the hour glass was really what drew me to it.

3. "Seconds count when something is trying to kill you."-Dana pg.51 is shows that are alot of times where Dana is going to put in a dangerous situation. and sometimes you have to do soem quick thinking to get you out of there.

4. I think it going to be a difficult relationship because Dana is black and Kevin is white with the time period that there in being married.

Cristina

Dear Cristina,

I would like to persuade you to read my essay on McDonalds and its not so happy truth.

The greatest obstacles to this happening seem to be finding multiple examples of this.

I am also worried aboutNot being able to come up with a valid thesis.

What do you think of my essay?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Gaby

Mailei's group

Thoreau and Walden

1. Why did Thoreau move to Walden?

it was an attempt to prove or culture the land he lived in

2. What was his life like there?

It was a simple life style though he did eventually return to the city

3. What did Thoreau criticize in modern life?

that new technology takes away from the substance that once was.

4. Do you agree or disagree with his critique?

to a certain extent i do agree because if you look at our society today traditions or morals that were instilled in families aren't there today. Not mention how people become dependant on things when we get lazy.

This comic strip of Calvin and Hobbes shows transcendentalism because Calvin is being proud of

something most people find gross which would be his tooth.

No mater what other people reactions have been he still thinks it's cool.

Annotated Bibliography

Were going to be doing our project on the food industry primarly focusing on McDonalds.

American Literary Periods

The difference between the colonial period and the romanticism period much of the colonial period was based off of religion. Much of the transcendentalism characteristics were True equality of spiritually, self-reliance and intuition and characteristic of it would be the Gothic version of it. Much of how people acted in those times were how people reacted from the books in the colonial period God was the main purpose, romanticism people questioned moral ideas, and finally in Transcendentalism much of it was sticking up to what you believed in.

Teen Suicide

Teen Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for teenagers between the age of 15 and 18. In L.A. the rate for teen suicides is 300-400 which equals out to be about 1 teenager per day.

I think the reason teens commit suicide is because of the stress that they feel from others around them or from the stress they put on themselves that puts a toll on them and then ultimately leads them to their final decision. Another reason teens might commit suicide is because of the feeling of not being accepted by anyone and the lack of acceptance leads them to suicide as well.

Crucible Presentation

My favorite group presentation was Mailei's group I liked how instead of just doing the usual, then went above and beyond to give examples by making videos which was nice.

Crucible Poem

Don't Mess With The Devil

Your Web of Lies

Has Caught you in a bind

It's too late to free yourself

you are mine now

Ya' Danced, ya' spun, and did a little jig

Lied to the people

With a little grin

It was ever so cunning

Using me as an excuse

To get rid of Lady Proctor

by making her vamoose

If only I had told ya'

That proctor has forgotten

How he touched you for a moment

Then left you a bit rotten

But silly ol' me

I don't do that kind of thing

So stop your heart

But, too bad

It just ain't you

Ya' yell, Ya' scream

And you do your thing

Tellin' the lies

And putting it in there ears

Of these "witches"

So it appears

It's a shame

At least for you

That you will be killin' Proctor too

You tell me you'll fix it

But it ain't gonna happen

I'm gonna make him die

I'll do it for you without even a cry

So, don't Beg

Don't Plead

Don't do anything

Just tell him you love him

And he'll understand

At least in your mind

That is

Too tell you the truth

After all these years

He's much rather die

Because he found his peace

But not with you or I.
