MY VIGNETTE "Some people say he's a b*tch. Which is unfair to state.You see him react to the paparazzi violently, but there might be a reason... but, to others he's a true genius. From capturing us with the wise words he says, to the significance of his lyrics.Which is showing logical ideas right? Honesty has always been said is important, correct? Isn't that what he does? He's honest and speaks his mind.I was inspired by an influential man, Kanye West."
EMERSONS CHILD    It's the day after Election Day, I saw the enviroment and felt it, it was unusual, the only thing that came out of peoples conversations was the new Elected President. The same enviroment,earlier I witnessed was what sparked this ridiculous election. It's surreal to see how I have came back and witness how this Election is breaking this unity of one race apart and beginning a whole new war against each other because of race,color,gender,etc. that has lived on even to this day.   Has the wise words, presented way back when, not attract the thinking of you, as an individual ? This election has caused individuals to follow societies rules. Some examples would be, having this new elected President with his negative commentary on specific people,making it okay for other people to do it as well since he's the President know I could do what he does. No, that is not what I have proclaimed to get out and reach those thoughtful people.Never follow society especia
AN EARTH'S SHATTERING FART  Lets just say, this short story was very intriguing.It reminded me of Jurassic Park movies, a lot. The fact they had people paying to go hunt old creatures like dinosaurs,but in this case used, time machines to go back years,decades was even better than the film.It was much like a movie, to me. I was able to picture all of the syntax used from this story.But the most fascinating parts of the story was when Eckels panicked and stepped out of the path which they told him not to do, and he said he olny stepped on mud and said it was nothing.Later on, to now that he had stepped on a butterfly,which caused the time period they live in drastically changed.Lastly, he ends up getting shot by his guide. What a way to end a story huu? man so well written in my opinion.What did you think about this short story?

EMERSON PRESENTATIONS DAY Well what can I say the presentations were interesting, but overall the one that caught my attention was Cesar's http://cayusosmhs18.blogspot.com/  presentation because his was diffrent from the rest and I thought it was unique using "geniuses" of what he believed was a genius.Anywho, lets get started on today's presentations. Lesley: Interpreted it by using 21 Pilots comparing it to Emerson's essay * blurry face and vessel  albums she used * lane boy: people telling you what to do, but we have to ignore and just "stay in our lane" * stressed out:people saying things, but we got to keep on moving and not let it get to our minds * we don't believe whats on t.v.: which is because not everything is true in real life *** SOMETHING YOU WANT US TO REMEMBER*** BE SELF-RELIANT, EVEN THOUGH SHE SOES NOT AGREE WITH EMERSON Samary: made a poster; mostly quotes * " melchony ...." quote caught her attention * opi
PRESEDENTIAL ELECTION   What can I say this is self explanatory because we have two candidates that want to " make America great again" which is very ironic to say. This election is going to define our nations future by having a liar that juged certain ethnicities and in the other hand we have a fool making exagererated plans to "make America great again"which sucks, honetly, because I don't see a good future with any of these candidates, but if we take a second a sink in our mind that we have no other choice but to vote for Hillary than the other one because this vote MATTERS and if we don't vote people are voting for your future. The future depends on our generation to make a change.
EMERSON FOR THE YOUNG BUCK  Something I've learned or made sense out of, is how he states,us, humans are self-conscious and remorsefull on things we do or say.Also to add to that, we have a problem with society pressuring us, in a way that society will judge us diffrently or say things about one. Which leads, by him stating that we need to ignore socities commentary and ideas and be ourselves, not something we truly aren't.But, if I could sum up his purpose about On Self-Reliance it would be three points. 1. Self-reliance with one self.  2. Self-Reliance with Society  3. Promotion of Self-Reliance as an idea. These are the three ideas I believe,because his whole essay is about us trying to be moved on how we need to stop worrying about what society has to say toward ourselves. Also being dependent with oursleves, so us  trusting ourself and not ignoring our thoughts and ideas. Make our ideas/thoughts realize and take them in consideration.Lastly having this as an idea. So lik
EMERSON SAID IT I'll start of by mentioning my peer's name I refrenced the quote from.  Cerenity: " Ne te quaesiveris extra" what this means is " Do not seek outside yourself " or in other words, " Look within". His main arguement is that us, human beings need to rely on themselves (their ideas), follow their instincts,and refrain from allowing society's norms and ideas get to us.This came up by her, starting off our socratic seminar and sharing a quote that really caught her attention,drastically.  Paloma: " What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think." His main arguement is the exhibition of how their is individualsim and self-trust among ourselves and how we find it irrelevant of what people may think or say. This came up by her adding on to someone else comment that connects why we shouldn't bother what people opinions or commentary are.   Gabriel: " Man is timid and apologetic; he is
