    It changes based on the latest thoughts about him.

    Why do you think writers from the Romantic period shifted away from the Puritan-style and began writing about characters who made bad choices?

    metaphors are art not science, they say things that aren't true.
    Develop a metaphor to describe something that takes up a lot of your time.
    (Ex: My grading paper file is a blazing inferno. It spreads itself to all of the places I exist - my home, my desk, and my inbox. Just when I think I've gotten the blaze down to flame the size of a match, I feel the heat begin to intensify again.)

Your goal should be to make the reader feel the same thing the character is experiencing in the story. Use dialogue to demonstrate an understanding of quotation rules.

    Jesse scuttled through the hallway at the very end of his 8th period, he was on a mission, he had to get to her locker. He finally worked up the nerve to leave a very special note in her locker, he just had to get there before her. He had butterflies in his stomach, he started to sweat, he got real warm, he felt his ears burning up. He made it to her locker after what felt an eternity. He saw her at the end of the dim lighted hall and turned beet red. He crammed the note through the slot in the dull grey locker, and darted off.

    Its simple it shows that there beauty in everything, people just need to slow down and realize it. his writing style is also straight to the point


    Do you agree with his message of simplicity in writing? Why or why not?

When you meet new people, what is something you want them to know about who you are? What do you think people notice first?

    It is something that makes a person "who they are" it could also be a defining aspect of traits about them. I want people to see that I'm actually not that mean, and I mean good. I have had multiple girls tell me I look grouchy when they see me.

    Based on what was discussed in the video, why do you think photography was a convincing tool to help end child labor in the U.S.? 
    The photos kind of show how miserable the children look, it shows their injuries, and how dirty they looked. It humanizes the kids. 

    What are the ethical problems associated with employing children under the age of 16? Kids are more prone to injuries and don't know how to react in certain situations. little kids also are shy and don't speak up for themselves.

Why or why not? 
    yes, this video is only showing the negatives of Amazon
    What motive could this publication company (NBC) have for publishing this story?  to show the labor that goes into these packages, how some of the workers feel

    What information, if any, is left out or not addressed adequately?  how others workers feel about their job, its was only the one woman who had a negative outcome with her job. the quotes seem to be cut as well]]>     2023-04-05 18:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliaevasic/vlzczgsue98o8iog/wish/2545333494     Post #24 4/24/23 emiliaevasic https://padlet.com/emiliaevasic/vlzczgsue98o8iog/wish/2566137315 Based on the information described in the video, what moral dilemma do self-driving cars create? Whether to not it is right to hand over all control to a computer when driving a car

    In your opinion, what type of "code" should self-driving cars have? (prioritize the driver's life, minimize damage, minimize harm to other drivers, etc.) Why? well in the video the car does not simply use the brakes, a self-driving car should be able to detect dangers and prevent others from being injured or even killed, and do the most logical things. Also in the instance presented in the video a code for a car could be deploying some protective barrier so even though the car may be damaged, the humans will be safe]]>     2023-04-24 18:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliaevasic/vlzczgsue98o8iog/wish/2566137315     Post #25 5/2/23 emiliaevasic https://padlet.com/emiliaevasic/vlzczgsue98o8iog/wish/2575630201 The topic of today's short story is "social progress." 

    Based on what you've seen in the video, decide whether or not this is progress. Why or why not? it is technological progress that could be solving a problem that may await us in the future. 

    What implications does this new technology have for farmers? Are the effects positive, or negative, or both?
    Its negative this technology is simply going to replace farmers and that could have a huge impact on our communities and the unemployment rate. it also isn't all that fair. ]]>     2023-05-02 18:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliaevasic/vlzczgsue98o8iog/wish/2575630201     Post #25 5/9/23 emiliaevasic https://padlet.com/emiliaevasic/vlzczgsue98o8iog/wish/2584268964 Choose one of the following articles to read below: 

    Answer the following on your Padlet post: 
    1. How does the article you chose relate to the story "The Wretched and the Beautiful"?  People favor the animals that are cuter and more appealing to the eyes especially babies. Whereas animals that look odd or scary tend to intimidate people and cause them to dislike the animal because of their appearances. 
    2. What findings discussed in the article are similar to what is discussed in the story? Cite a piece of evidence from the article to support your answer. The humans hate the 1st bunch of aliens because they aren't so easy on the eyes, but they love the second group because they are in the form of what humans wish to be and almost picture perfect even though they cant understand them. its the same with animals almost "As you can see, people thought cute animals, like dolphins and koalas, deserved more moral consideration than less attractive species, like bats and boars"
    3. In your own experience, are the article's findings accurate? Have you ever experienced or witnessed what the article discusses? yes i think that cows are so cute, but my sister on the other hand doesnt really, and she hates cows just because they are "big and ugly" and she finds them intimidating. https://padlet.com/hcourson1/american-lit-comp-11-js5kix0k608q1f6q/wish/2583909431

Why or why not? Yes, i used to live pretty closeish to green bank, and its kind of pretty up there and its super nice and is surrounded by woods and its a great place to relax.

    Do you think it's ethical for parents of children in that area to force them to live there? yes and no i feel that as children get older they should be exposed to technology before they leave.

    What benefits and/or detriments does this kind of community offer? benefits would be less stress, friendlier people, its relaxing, better mental health and calm. but it does kind of isolate you from the world]]>     2023-05-18 18:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliaevasic/vlzczgsue98o8iog/wish/2596638708
