The Name Game

   Ashoke means "without sorrow" because he doesn't let the bad times weigh him down. He continues to move forward. In the book it says, "A man who is vulnerable, who has suffered in an inconceivable way" (Lahiri 123). Ashima means " boneless and limitless" I do not believe that this relates to her. Nikhil means "whole and entire." Nikhil is very wholesome meaning that he is very open and true. In the book, "His voice sounds harsh, accusing, but his eyes well with tears. 'Why haven't you told me this until now'"(Lahiri 123). Sonali means, "gold" when she was a baby she put a dollar in her mouth. In the book it says, "She plays with the dirt they've dug up from the yard and threatens to put the dollar bill into her mouth" (Lahiri 63),
   My name means "princess". I don't really know how this relates to my personality because I don't want to just say I act like a princess because I don't. Being the oldest in my family I am used to getting everything I want. My mothers name, Melanie, means "black or dark" I do not believe this relates to my mom's personality because my mom is very nice to everyone. My dads name, Bradley, means "broad clearing" I don't really understand what this means but his name also means strong. I think strong relates to my dads personality because he is very strong person and because of that he is able to be a successful business man. My brothers name, Alexander, means "to defend, help" this relates to his personality because he is always helping his friends and family in a time of need.

      I like the way you flowed and went into new paragraphs. I strongly disagree with your statement, "I don't want to just say I act like a princess because I don't." You are very quite and polite like a princess. I did not know you had a brother. This is written very well.

    I liked getting to know what your family names means. I do agree that the meaning of your mothers name is not correct at all. I love how name means princess because we all know out of the two of us who gets called princess more. You gave some really good examples and this was very well written!

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...
