https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh Choose one word from the Prologue Jots and include information on one work from the Jot that leaves an impression. en-us 2018-03-12 19:39:32 UTC 2023-04-07 08:10:13 UTC hello@padlet.com 20241021 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241093799 Something from a jot that left an impression of me is how one person (not going to state any names) said that they wanted to be nice to everyone even if they don't like someone. It made me think about society's rules and how society teaches us to be kind to everyone or we could be judged. Which makes me think; would you still be nice to someone even though it would have no benefits to you whatsoever and nobody would judge you for being mean?]]> 2018-03-12 19:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241093799 20241014 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241095113 The word illuminate leaves an impression on me that there is always a resolution and you can choose to be positive. I always try to look on the bright side and sometimes if I'm having a bad day I can tell myself  "Illuminate the darkness"  this would mean that you should be positive and look on the bright side of the dark or negative things in life. So the word illuminate leaves the impression that there is always a resolution and you can choose to be positive. ]]> 2018-03-12 19:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241095113 20241136 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241095739 Malice: A question that helps me remembers this word is: "Is there a reason why Booth has hatred/bitterness toward Lincoln?"]]> 2018-03-12 19:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241095739 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241096330 Delirious.

I think this because the definition is, attitude in which there is hope for something better. It seems as though that even if it seems everything may be frustrating and not in your favor, there is still hope that you can change something or think a certain way to make it better.]]> 2018-03-12 19:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241099917 20241085 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241104395 A question that reminds and helps me remember the word malice is: "How did Booth act toward Lincoln and how did he show his hatred toward him?"

When I hear about these people, I wonder "Why do people act notorious?" and I also wonder "How does one feel for having such a reputation?". I try not to act notorious and I feel that it is wrong to act notorious, however, there might be individuals who have a reason to act this way.]]> 2018-03-12 20:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241109224 20241101 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241111788 This explains how conspirators contribute to something.

This reminds me of a quote somebody once told me-”stars can’t shine without darkness.” This makes me think about how although there may be hardships, they will in the end build you up and allow you to view your life from a positive perspective. ]]> 2018-03-12 21:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241134063 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241134635 The word eloquent means a fluent, forceful, appropriate, and persuasive speech.  This image reminds me of the word eloquent because it is a politician, and politicians are supposed to have an eloquent matter of speech.

Therefore, he became unfavorably known and despised.]]> 2018-03-12 21:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241135148 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241153957 The word illuminate reminds me of the time when we took the Non-Fiction signpost test.  In the directions for the CCs, Ms. Cho asked us how a quote shed light on the central idea.  The part that said “shed light” can help me remember the word means to clarify or explain.]]> 2018-03-12 23:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241153957 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241154560 The word conspirators reminds me of the conspiracy theories people have on movies or historical events.

We have the pessimists, and we have the optimists. Of course, we have the people who don't have any emotions at all, but in this world we need optimists, especially in times of stress. Optimism makes a person hope, love, or believe again.  This practice shines a light on the impossible and brings the light back to things we gave up. ☀️]]> 2018-03-12 23:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241154721 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241154838 Reluctance

She started staying up later, and she had new friends, and whenever she was stressed out, I would stay away. What was I supposed to do? I had never really been stressed. But I'm here, now, stressing out about everything. I find myself surrounded in a world full of insecure people. Illuminate shines light (get it?) on the true beauty inside.

The word itself sounds dreadful. I can somehow connect the word to this world. Its constantly changing because of the actions done by humanity. Malice reminds me of people who seek revenge to the ones who have made them suffer. People who don't think but just take action because they feel the need to. ]]> 2018-03-13 00:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241159904 20241042 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241166969 A question that helps me remember the word Malice is, “Why did booth hate Lincoln so much?” “What drove him to do what he did?” He had so much hatred towards him that he killed him, and attempted many times as well. ]]> 2018-03-13 00:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241166969 20241042 https://padlet.com/20241021/nyzmat6a2hkh/wish/241173491 When I think of notorious, I think of a criminal. Notorious just sounds like a not-so-pleasant word, you know? I think of a really dramatic villain in a really big, dark cape, very well-known for his evil tendencies.
