No wonder SOMA is such a necessity. When will this instructor get to the Romeo and Juliet unit? Being a student here so far has made me question my existence. I don't fit in anywhere and it has been unbearable difficult to make friends.

Helmholtz and Bernard. This table brings a lot of fond memories. I spend all my free time here with my friends. Although we are able to speak our minds, everyone else thinks we are weird since we came from the World State. We are the outcasts. No one like to associate with us even though we are open minded.

She's the only one that gets me. I was telling her about how I'm going to meet up with Bernard later at nutrition, but she warned me to be fearful because of his reputation. She also reminded me that everybody belongs to everyone and that there are SOO much more fish in the sea just so I don’t get too attached. Well, it doesn't hurt to add one more guy to the list. :)]]> 2023-03-31 21:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540314599 Helmholtz dayrindiaz957 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540314954 I arrived at school early and headed into my classroom. As usual, people were following me and asking dull questions like, "can you do my homework?". As if high school was that difficult. Maybe if they were to pay attention and wrote notes down, they could pass the class. It's ridiculous. ]]> 2023-03-31 21:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540314954 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540315565 It is lunch time already and I am in the library with Helmholtz trying to help him study for a science test.]]> 2023-03-31 21:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540315565 The Monster | 12:11 P.M juliusflores852 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540315641 I thought lunch was at 12:09, I'm here but nobody is opening the doors to me.

Then, I see a man in the room next to me.
"Father, father!" 
Ah! I see him in the corner there, here I come father! 

A few days later:

Why did he resign from his job? Perhaps I'll never know. ]]> 2023-03-31 21:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540316083 Helmholtz dayrindiaz957 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540316722 Walking is for the weak, therefore Bernard and I use the helicopter. We talk about the difficulty it is to find inspiration for my writing. I have to find it quickly, or Henry will beat me at the best essay contest for my class. There's no way a guy like him could win me. Time to go to the library!]]> 2023-03-31 21:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540316722 Lenina Crowne ashleyyu526 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540316921 I took Fannys advice, but when I met Bernard there was also another person. Bernard told me he was John. Though he was kind of weird, the rest of him was fine!  I think I'm starting to like him...he just seems so COOL! We talked for a bit and decided to meet up together at lunch. Oh how I'm so excited!]]> 2023-03-31 21:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540316921 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540316975 The school has finally finished I found it quite mentally exsanguination. After school, I decided to look around the school more and found a place called the library found it was filled whit books of all kinds even psychology books, and as a bonus, they even require you to be quiet.]]> 2023-03-31 21:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540316975 Bernard Marx allienie383 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317149 It was nutrition, and many people were out here. I like to observe how they act. I was with Helmholtz, and we were both having a conservation about how it's like to feel isolated. We both had instantly connected, he is such a great friend. ]]> 2023-03-31 21:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317149 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317162 It has been two hours since school started I thought that we were going to be doing it via hypnopedia I guess they are savages. At we have a brake or as they would call it nutrition I wasn't around asking some fellow pupils when they would be passing "soma" they said they didn't know what that was and if I need to see the nurse. After going through the shock of realizing that there was not going to be any "soma" or"drugs"  as they would call it, I was also quite surprised to find out that there was a class dedicated to why you should do "drugs" talk about an uncivilized. Finally, after getting my lunch which was quite appalling, I found a tree in a quiet spot and decided to read some psychology books that I had brought over from the land of the civil as I  doubt that they have that here. ]]> 2023-03-31 21:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317162 aylinmaravilla927 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317178 This is my favorite class. We read all sorts of books and we are able to have our own opinion. We read about the past and the possible future. I love how we talk about Shakespeare. Having the freedom of reading Shakespeare has changed my life. He is my inspiration to not give up. I completely hate biology. I detest that class. We talk about the creation of humans and about parents. I didn’t have a father and I had an absent mother. She slept with a lot of people where we used to live which is why I didn’t have any friends. ]]> 2023-03-31 21:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317178 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317283 I got to "school" early as this would be a new experience for and was very new to me, I was able to find one of my class room's it seemed to be my English class. I found it quite appalling because he mentioned Romeo and Juliet would be something from the past when I asked what we would be learning. "History is bunk," I told my professor he was not happy to hear that he had asked me why and I then proceeded to tell him that the old doesn't belong whit the new world he also wasn't happy to hear that. What's the exertion that the savages use, I guess "we started on the wrong foot."]]> 2023-03-31 21:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317283 Bernard Marx allienie383 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317315 Usually when it's break, I like to stay in the library.

I have been warned to not come back to civilization after attending this place of school. They said that it would affect the stability of civilized people. ]]> 2023-03-31 21:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317387 alexandrabrenes600 https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2540317621 When lunchtime arrives, I quickly grab my lunch and head to a table far from everyone else.

I explain that even technology has to be kept under rigorous controls for a happy and stable society to be possible.

On the way, I saw Lenina and stopped to talk for a little bit; we've only been friends for a little while, but she's always really nice to me!

It was my Creative Writing class, and we're always talking about something new there.

He told me no, and said that I was lucky they even allowed English to be taught here so I just left. Once again, I don't have a ride home.

It’s so stupid and the kids here are even stupider. How I wish I was in the library. Most of the time, all I do here is write poetry. But I feel so suffocated in here I can’t even write how I feel. This class is such an easy A. Thats why I despise it so much. I’m an Alpha for god sack.

Preface
Back during the year AF 632, the world has claimed to be stable and perfect, full of happiness, and free of suffering. Growing up and witnessing the fall of the world state, I had grown up to realize that the world has many untold stories waiting to be said and recognized. That's when I heard that my great grandfather, Bernard Marx had met an unusual person named John (Or the savage). I soon found myself going through long, verbose and wordy journals filled with any information during the 7th century AF period, commonly called the modern political dark age. I interviewed possible relatives or descendants of John and came to the conclusion that he was an untold hero. Not many primary or even secondary sources have talked about the period, so I had to rely on photos, firsthand accounts, and a half torn journal of John in order to piece together the story.

Welcome to the world of John, an untold hero of the past and present. ]]> 2023-04-04 02:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2543029991 HelmHoltz https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2545468775 2023-04-05 21:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_rosales2/mf6c7y6irr8mk09o/wish/2545468775
