Monkey see/hear/do The teaching method I’m most likely going to use to do my presentation is going to be visual and auditory. To use kinesthetic would be more difficult because most people would not not know how to use the tools properly. For visual I could print out pictures of jobs that I’ve done and explaining them
Brave new essay       The character that I thought fit the requirements that are; a character that conforms outwardly while still questioning inwardly is Lenina. So in the following paragraph(s) I will try to the best of my ability and knowing to explain why she fits the requirements.      In the novel the castes are raises fairly the same all of them where taught to hate books and flowers by sounding off a loud alarm when they where close to them. In there society they are taught that sleeping with different partners at a young age is normal, lenina would  contribute to this as well, but then she met Henry Foster she was with him for four months and only with him, when she told fanny about that, Fanny told her that that wasn’t right and telling her that what if Henry had been with other girls at the same time of them being together. This is the first piece of evidence where lenina starts her process of conforming outwardly, by only bei...

Brave new world chapter 1 The light was frozen dead as a ghost  AF? We use AD and BC for time periods  Not only are they breeding people they are breeding a new type of person Eggs are sent through the X rey, some die in the process  Major instruments of social stability  When we ask a question and people see us as foolish that’s when we stop asking them Planetary motto “community, Identity, Stability” Bokanovskify means human cloning  96 is the limit 72 is a good average of cloning from the same ovary
Have to versous want to When I want to do something I’ll do it without anyone having to tell me, and when I’m told to do something i don’t do it until they keep telling me and telling me and than I do it once I see that there botherd. For example in one of my classes  we had a substitute teacher I got bored and wrote on the desk the next day that same substitute tells me to clean it off and if I don’t do it he’ll write down my name, as class is in session he kept on telling me to do it but I just payed no attention to him, until he just looses it he tells me how my teacher is going to hear about this, he never did anything he was just all talk. But now when I was in one of my other classes I also wrote on the desk so I’m just like I didn’t like the way it came out so I erased it and didn’t do it again no fighting, no yelling just me doing it on my own.
What’s so great about gatsby  Was Gatsby even great yes and no. Yes because twords the end of the book when daisy killed toms mistress on accident he took the blame and paid the price with his life, and the no reasoning is because we really didn’t know a lot about him, he only took the blame because he loved daisy but if it were to have been someone else he wouldn’t have taken the blame he would have still be alive in the end. If it would’ve been nick I don’t think gatsby would’ve takes the blame. And speaking of nick, he opens the book by saying he’s an honest person but is he really, just look at the people he hangs out with. Rich snobby people who only care about themselves. And the way Fitzgerald described them is on point saying things like they were careless people and amhow they would always return back to their money. I think what he meant by that is that whenever you have money it doesn’t matter what you do because to them any type of fine is nothing major. And da...

Gatsby Notes The great gatsby was published in 1925 the author died only selling around 2500 thinking the book was a big flop  It starts off with a guy named nick our narrator and a character in the book taking to the reader Jay gatsby the name of the main character  
Gatsby notes #2 What I found interesting about today’s read was that we really got to know who Tom really is. What I mean by that is we find out that he thinks the white race is superior and if they don’t do something about it they will fall as being superior. Another thing is we find out that he has a mistress in New York, we know this because the butler comes in saying there’s a woman on the phone.
20th century writing styles  Genre are types of categories  Naturalism Is described as a character being driven by forces beyond there control towards unavoidable events, usually not depicted as individuals with distinct interior worlds, most of the time lower class and dehumanized, naturalism also died around the early 40’s Realism depicts characters as psychological complex and a character of having individual worlds is not possible and are accountable for the choices they made and there actions are self determined Modernism is a third movement beginning to show its influence on the story 
Down the rabbit hole  While I was in class o was told to clock on one of the stories that were linked to the read we were assigned and write about which one was interesting to me, while I did as I was told because it is mandatory I clicked on how we humanize with each other why was it interesting to me, well just the title it self sounded interesting and it was one quote and it read “even in our darkes times we Have the right to expect illumination”, I just found it relatable and well I genuinely liked it.
The world is my library  As I went on to google and searched “ short stories by H.P. Lovecraft a top ten list showed up on hobbylark while I was reading the titles one short story in particular caught my attention that story was “The Lurking Fear”. It was interesting to me because it talked about how it was some of Lovecraft’s earliest phases of writing. The story goes on to be about how a nameless character goes on to investigate a series of rumors on tempest mountain 
How to get to Graceland  For me in my experience when it comes down to working with others, it never works out in the end I have to do the work of two people by myself. Ever since I realized that i always had to do the work of two I’ve just decided to not work with others, because when it comes down to it people are just in it for themselves. So yes I work better alone and what Paul Simon was able to accomplish is something very few people get to experience.
