This is it for now

This successful year has finally came to an end and I am finally ready for junior year. I honestly believe I really improved in my literature by doing journal and blog. This class was overall my favorite because we did lots of interesting things and learned a couple of interesting about people in my class. My favorite thing I did in this class was my master piece presentation because I brought so many people to be interested in my topic. Now the year is over I am looking forward to coming back next year stronger than ever.

Les book v Les movies

The les mes is really intense and crazy like a lot goes on.  The movie is confusing because all day do is sing and I didn’t expect that. The characters like jean I thought he would be looking like the rock because the book was describing as the big strong guy. The movie just need to act more as in speaking instead of singing. Overall I thought the book was better and now it changed mind for movies are better than books.

Spring term

This year has been my favorite year in all my years in education. This class in particular I thought dr Preston did a good job in introducing us the blog website cause it helps later in the future for college. Dr Preston did a good joe in trusting the class with there phones to work on they’re blogs. In my opinion I thought my class did a good job in being honest and using the time. Im looking forward  to next years English class and sharing my Knowledge to become successful. For the past  couple of months we’ve been reading a book named les miserable which has been a key factor to making this class really interesting and fun.   This book has characters that remind me of real live people I know.  For example Jean reminds me of a neighbor me and my family know.  He’s had the same struggles as Jean like my neighbor he went to prison but was a nice guy and had to do things he wasn’t proud of just  for his family.  Even though we haven’t finished the book...

Ignite Talk

Have you ever shared the excitement of having a new member added to your family and then have that excitement torn away from you? During spring break, my family was eager to find out the gender of my cousins new baby. On May 4th, my cousin and his wife planned to reveal the gender of their new baby to our family. We all were anxious to see what the baby would be. We talked amongst the cousins to gather guesses whether the baby would be a boy or girl.  To our surprise, all that excitement was taken from us on the morning of April 29th, when we received a call from our cousin saying they had lost the baby. We didn't understand how this had happened. All we knew is that the baby's heart had stopped beating. This was why I chose to talk about miscarriage. I Learned that 20-30% of pregnancies end with miscarriage. Some women think that exercise cause miscarriage but 25% of women don't exercise because they won't take that risk but exercise does not cause a miscarriage. In or...

My big question research

Miscarriages are fetus that are lost before the 20th week of pregnancy. Questions always arise after  a miscarriage takes place. There is not one particular answer as to why miscarriages occur, but there are many reasons that can cause them. According to March of Dimes, as many as 50% of pregnancies end in miscarriages. This topic rose interest in me because during spring break my cousin and his wife experienced a miscarriage at 4 months.

Weekend goals

What Im going to show what I’ve learned over the weekend is my blog because I updated some new outstanding blog  post. I know I haven’t put some new post in a while but I’m catching up and it will be as good as new. Also I got a couple post about the book les and I show información about the characters. That’s all I got planned for my weekend.

Jean valjean is in a strange situation

When I took notes it was about about javert getting that letter about Jean being dead. My question is where did javert get that letter from? How did he find out where jean lived? This has to be the best part of the story because we want to know already

End game

To be honest I haven’t been myself lately I’ve been really lazy with my homework because basketball is over I need to pick it up to be a student athlete. I’ve been going home right after school and just take a nap and I won’t tempt to do my hw but now that i learned my lesson i will do even better and prove my myself wrong .

A sense of place

Alot of the Times Víctor Hugo has us confused durning the story because we usally don’t know where were at and that’s what makes the story a little more interesting. Víctor Hugo is making us figure out the situation so that way we get for challenges in this book. It will help us understand more when we read books later on.

Les mis 155- 177

Honestly nothing really happened during these pages except the part when the newspaper made an article of the bishop being dead. When we were reading along I didn't expect how the newspaper did that I think most of us didn't expect it because we we're focused on fantine and cossete.

Les mid pages (154-158)

In this chapter we learned that cossete was getting treated badly for five years. She wasn't eating really good because she would barely get any food. Also she wore old clothes because her fake parents weren't treating her well. We were wondering if the cover of the book is cossete.

Reading notes

The background information had the most important part when the lady and the kid when it ran away from them.

Reflections on fantine and cosette

My advice to fantine would be never ever trust anyone you barely know. She should've took cossete to someone she actually trust. If I would see fantine right now I would tell her to do anything she can to get her kid back. It shows that fantine is just selfish and if your selfish bad things happen.

Making decisions

When we talk about fantine she is honestly a bad mother because she left her kid with a random person and expect that person to take good care of her kid. If she knew she didn't want a kid she should've took it to someone she trusted. Jean was a good guy but he did lot's of bad things in the past but over all he helped people and that's the good part of him. You can always be forgiven if you show you do good things in life.

How to be careful on the internet

There's wyd where you could secure your account or email. What I do is I download apps from the AppStore that secure your passwords. Another way is to enable 2 step authentication, that allows you be notified when your account has been logged on to something.Thats why it's always to be careful online.

This describes us because we all have a strong mindset.

Graceland

I think grace land is a big part of American literature absolutely a true fact. The way they made songs that were similar to African rydom which made it fun for Americans. They got everything they new and put it together and talked about in today's world in America I thought it was a good idea of doing this.

My essay

When I think about a dynamic character I think about Jean Valjean. A dynamic character is when a character changes yes it’s a mood throughout the story. Jean is a really nice guy he does anything for his family. He leaves his doors unlocked because he believes nothing will happen. His family would’ve in a really bad situation without Jean. Overall Jean was a good guy but than -12for a while he became a jerk. One day Jean went to steel some bread for his family to eat. He ended up getting caught and went to prison and now his life is miserable because he doesn’t know how his family will survive without him. Now when a person is going through a lot they change and they start to be jerks and that’s how Jean tends to act. Being a nice person will always have good things to come for you “good things happen to good people”. Jean Valjean did some good things and bad things but when he did good things his family where gifted by having food on the table. When he stole then he was charged by goi...

What’s love got to do with it?

In class today we discussed how when you make food to do all with love because your usually making it with someone you love. Usually when I go to fast food places people that make it are really rude and don’t care about anything but the money. When I make food I make with my mother and we just have fun making it because we’re blessing our food with our joy and love. It’s not always about the money it’s about what’s right.

Calling my shot

I think I will do alright on the exam I would say average because I was  a little slow from the start with the book but I caught up with book and I like it. I know I’m going to use Jean Valjean in my essay and the part I’m going to use is when he chsnges moods in the book.This is called a dynamic character when he stepped on the kids coin. Overall I feel prepared and I think the ideas I got will make it good.
