1. The book, Divergent by Veronica Roth, left an impression on me because of its complex view of society. In Divergent the author creates a society to display how society looks like after a disaster strikes. This book made me think a lot about how society could change. I don't think it is possible to have a society like the one in Divergent, however I do believe that society could be impacted due to a disaster like war. The book also influenced the way I think about the future. Our world changes every single day and there are a lot of factors that cause this. Since Divergent is a movie about the future of the human race I constantly think about things that could cause that to happen to us. Even though war is the cause of society in Divergent, I believe there are many different things that could cause this like the government.

2.  I am a student that struggles with anxiety, however I do not let it hold me back. I am from a small town in Tennessee. I have been a lifeguard for two years and I recently was promoted to Lead Guard. Being a Lead Guard comes with a lot of responsibilities and has challenged my anxiety. I was always the quiet kid in the back and did not know how to react to certain situations. Having more responsibilities during the summer has made me feel more comfortable. Being a senior in high school makes me nervous for the future because I do not know what I will do. I like to have a step by step plan and I am very organized. Even though my anxiety tends for me to fall behind and live in the shadows, I have my moments where my personality really shines. I never know when this is going to happen. If I am really nervous or having a bad day I will keep to myself, but if i'm having a really good day I put myself out there in class more. I believe I am going to do big thing in life. Every day is a challenge but I manage to get through it and enjoy everything around me.

    I like Divergent, too. I haven't read the whole series, but I keep meaning to, so I have yet to know what will happen between Tris and Four...
    I bet being a lifeguard this summer was an awesome job. It always seemed to me as the perfect job. If you every feel stressed in this class, please come talk to me! Reading and writing about literature is supposed to be fun, and I hope you get that out of this class!

Journal Questions

Journal 5: In the book 1984 the statement "WAR IS PEACE" is a statement used by the party to displays how engaging in war will keep the peace in the country. "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY" represents how an individual cannot be separate from society. "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" displays how the comrades have to give themselves to Big Brother and has to give themselves away and throw away all of their beliefs. They contradict each other because the statements are false. War is not peace because there would always be constant violence and peace is not violence. Peace is like an harmonious state where everything is good. Freedom is not slavery. In the book the people are basically treated like slaves but the Party tells them that they have rights and they can do certain things as long as they follow the rules.  I would rationalize this statement by explaining how war is not considered peace in todays society due to how war is violent and brutal and peace is all about a ho...

The Namesake- INTRO

I do not know a lot about my family background. All I know is that my ancestors came from England and entered the United States through New Orleans. My family has always worked with machinery. We currently have a family business that has been passed down over 3 generations. I do not believe that there is any current connections from my ancestors coming from England, however; the family business can be looked at as a 'tradition' because the business gets passed down to the children.

Fairytale

A fairy tale is a story about imaginary and sometimes magical beings. The purpose of a fairly tale is to of course, entertain but it is also to give a type of message that the reader will remember. Most fairy tales used the phrase "Once upon a time" in order to appeal to the younger audience and to indicate that the story is in the past. There are many variations of fairy tales. The typical Disney  fairy tales focus on the more happy stories rather than the dark and mysterious ones. If I had to choose a fairy tale to be in I would choose Peter Pan. I really like this story because of the magic behind it. I like the idea of being able to fly around and having a close group of friends to share adventures with. Tinkerbell is my favorite character in the story because she is a fairy and it is said that when a child laughs a fairy is born. I would be Tinkerbell because she can fly and she has magical powers. Even though the tale of Peter Pan  is mainly about his feud between Capt...
