SAN JOSE It's Friday, warm outside too. I am absolutely excited to leave today in the after to San Jose,CA because I will be attending my cousins 15 which will be an exciting adventure. My favorite part is the ride,seeing the green grasslands,cattle,clear blue sky. The other thing I enjoy is listening to music and reading on the way too. I can't wait to see my family at last. So long, see you on the other side.

IGNITE TALK BIG QUESTION: What are strageties to find good finds at the thrift? I could say I have been thrifting for one year and a half and the only thing I've wished for is to find fire pieces like the ones that bloggers I follow on YouTube have found. So, what I did over break to explore my big question was keep on watching the bloggers I follow and round two, The Show, which provides all the fashion lifestyle (now a days) and give me ideas of what might be a jewel. One thing I learned by exploring over break was that if you have good resources they'll lead to you having  good results like I did. A connection I can make with this is our blogs, because people also post about their finds to share it with people that enjoy vintage things, like I do. What I will do next is keep thrifting. Any questions or comments feel free to do so ! Avoir 😊

WE EAT SOCIAL MEDIA Notably, we can see from the author's use of diction,syntax,tone,and rhetorical strageties to develop his main arguments, are asserted well.   From the beginning, he introduces his tone of what he is feeling about this subject quite unsettled, this is because the subject is the Internet expanding to something more than electronics, social media, and "pictures" portrayed differently than they used to be. For example, before smart phones and the internet started to develop the only thing people had was "Polaroid or Developing cameras which you had to go through a process which took awhile and was quite expensive to have these images be developed",because of this later on you would show the family all the pictures in albums. While on the other hand, with phones and the internet being a drastic change to society it had a "different impact on us because we don't show our pictures like we used to we do it on social media ". Which t...

Q#3 1982: Describe a place, conveying feeling through concrete and specific detail.    Long afternoons, sunny mornings, and empathy/care is here accompanying us every day in this exact place. What is home to you ? Is it a place to chill ? Or a place where you know there will always be love/ care, even though there might be tough days? Well, I'll let you know that this is how I imagine the idea of a "home". A home consists of many things, but this is how I see an  early  morning. Waking up, you get a quite unusual smell, like of rotting food, to think a home would always smell bad. It's a pass. You then, move onto the restroom, carefully examining yourself infront of the mirror, examining each spot of imperfections or unwanted acne and maybe unsatisfaction of your beauty. Later on, when finished judging yourself, you take the toothbrush and floss to begin washing/flossing your teeth. You begin  to floss your teeth and then you get a sudden taste and when you s...

OPTION 3 ESSAY ( Well they say "it's better late than never" but it was not correct of me to wait 4or5 days later to start working on my essay. ) In Dr.P's insight on Fahrenheit 451 he expresses himself differently from others. One he states we should "re-read books " so we can actually see the meaning behind everything. I believe it is an accurate suggestion because when we read it once it's just for like a class you have to read it for or for some of you guys out there probably for the grade. As stated before re reading books again make you think differently of what the author is trying to portray and infer all the things differently than the first time we read them. Some usage of syntax and diction Dr.P uses would be forming sentences with examples that we might relate to or specific articles that show involvement with maybe seeing things different when re reading everything again. As well as, using intellectual words that we might know or not, b...

GUIDING QUESTIONS 1.)  The significance of the glass of milk, the apple, and the pear was the remembrance of Millie and him at the farm they went once or a reminder that he still belongs here. 2.) He saw Millie. 3.) The fire is different by him looking and thinking of it as a different way specifically how it smelled, took away and gave ,the meaning of burning which to him was "warming", but the most significant thing about this is how he himself with men he'll later relate too.  4.) Granger is one of the mens who he encountered when seeing fire, but to be more specific he was the author of: The Fingers in the Glove; the Proper Relationship between the Individual and Society, while the other men are; Fred Clement, the Thomas Hardy chair at Cambridge; Dr. Simmons, from UCLA a specialist in Ortega y Gasset; Professor West, ethics and ancient study for Columbia University; Reverend Padover gave lectures 30 years ago. These are all the men Montag e...

A STEP AHEAD OF THE HOUND 1.) Montag he hid the books at Mrs.Black's home and phoned the alarm to come a search/burn the house containing the books. 2.) Faber describes the war as funny since Montag and himself are having their own troubles and now war that just began is portrayed funny for Faber. 3.) is the TV a personal sized tv by any chance ? It's described as something they want that isn't big so I'm assuming it's a small-sized tv ? I could be wrong if I didn't portray it correctl, as well as notifying them with emergence. 4.) It was his name and describptions of how he might look and to be aware she's a man running with one leg. ( lol ) 5.) Montag was running for the river so none of the houses, while opening their doors can see him pass by, as well as getting his odors off his body so the hound won't be able to find him.

THE CHASE IS ON 1.) The hound attacked Montag because he just killed Beatty along with the other firemen. 2.) Montag defended himself by stabbing it with a needle and watched it pop up and die infront of him. 3.) He realized that Beatty wanted to die,even though he had the chance to save himself, but chose not too. 4.) Montag ran off to Faber's home. 5.) When he crossed the street he feel onto his face and knees because he heard the speeding of a car and knew it was the police coming after him but he was able to not get seen by them.

Fahrenheit 451: Questions 1.The novel Fahrenheit 451 begins : “It was a pleasure to burn.” Why does Ray Bradbury start the novel in this way? Why might it be more pleasurable to burn books rather than read them? 2. In the opening scene, why are the books compared to birds? 3. Discuss the difference between Montag and Clarisse’s lives. 4. Montag’s television includes headphones called “seashells.”  The “wall to wall circuit” allows Mildred to enter the “play” and, therefore, the television programming. How does the technology within the novel compare to our current technology? In the first pages of the novel,does technology improve the quality of life for Montag and his wife, Mildred? Why or why not? 5. Why does the narrator introduce us to Montag at this time of his life, when he encounters Clarisse and confronts Mildred’s overdose? 6. Why does the author introduce the character of Clarisse before Mildred? 7. Why are all the houses fireproof in this society? ...

COLLEGE FAIR WOWZERZZZ I can not believe were months away from becoming seniors, which saddens me a lot. I learned that I am going to turn into a young adult and I will take my own decisions as well as what I want to do with my education and what colleges/ universities I want to attend. It is very scary. Other than that I feel that we all have to go through this and accept that we are getting old and as we are growing we are learning every day which is amusing to me that we are the next generation to fix our world or what awaits for this generation I should say. WELL, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS OR IDEAS OF US, AS TEENS GROWING UP AND GOING OFF TO COLLEGE? HOW DO YOU FEEL ?

 ( I decided I did not want to do a short story so I decided to do a poem #rebel :p )          TOIL The hot summer days. Where they worked for days, Nothing incomparable -to those summer days From dawn to dusk A lifecycle, Of those summer days Kinking every hour, Pulling every minute, Sweating every second, Of those summer days. Why, not wonder why they are here ? Is it destiny? Or is it an obligation? Of those summer days.                                    - Leydi Rios *** Modernism*** by reflecting on the early 19th-21st century and quick hint if you don't understand my poem think about the TITLE I chose as well as any literary devices I use and my use of diction.

WHAT I SEE IN LITERATURE "And indeed there will be time  For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,  Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;  There will be time, there will be time  To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;  There will be time to murder and create,  And time for all the works and days of hands  That lift and drop a question on your plate;  Time for you and time for me,  And time yet for a hundred indecisions,  And for a hundred visions and revisions,  Before the taking of a toast and tea. "   * This part from Prufrock show many things about the ideas of imagery for example the repetition of "there will be time"  is a sense of the subject's flux and the changeability of all the things he's describing.  * as well as the theme that is going on we can connect it with modernism, like the Enlightenment and the Romanticism because of the coherent systems...

CH.3 REMIX There was music from my neighbors house through the summer nights. In her profound gardens men and women came in like bees trying to get nectar and left to make honey, among the whisperings and the champagne and stars. From the 1st page of chapter 3

WE'RE SEEN AS FOOLS !   It's currently 10:24pm, and I'm questioning America at the moment. I'm questioning this country at the moment because, I still don't process clearly why this nation has elected a terrible person.But, say no more,we've had enough of mentioning his name or even having a discussion about this wicked person because I personally don't feel like it's correct to call him a "man" since a true and solicitous "man" wouldn't do or make big statements/ decisions. Well as my title says " WE'RE SEEN AS FOOLS " is for a reason, this is because all the other nations around the world see us as that and it's very disappointing,actually. What ever happened to being the leader of League of Nations ? I guess we don't follow that no more huu? I know I'm writing a lot but, this last thing I'm about to say is the Executive Order this person has made has sparked controversial impacts to the whole wor...

WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL OUT OF BIRTHDAYS?  (Journal topic) Well to start off Birthdays are a HASSLE! Get the food cooked,invite guests,order the cake, plan a theme for the party, etc. so many things that people want to make into perfection, but sometimes that doesn't end up happening. It's not just the coordination of the party but the age your turning is important for some people like baby's 1st birthday, a girls quincenñera, sweet sixteen, and on .. these are some ideas of why people might make a huge deal out of birthdays 😅 WHAT ARE SOME IDEAS THAT YOU KNOW OF?

GATSBY'S NOTES PT.3 / INTRO TO CH.2 - So far these are some of the key ideas I drew down lol * Nick was in the MidWest,went to go live in NY. ( NEEDED A BETTER CHALLANGE) BOOM TRIGGER! * rented a house b/w mansions * Gatsby, next door neighbor of Nick * Daisy- "distant"cousin/ very suddle humor "gold digeger" perhaps? * Jordan Baker- freind of Daisy and Tom *Butler -not really important/this just show the real identity of Daisy *Daisy said to Nick "you and Jordan would look good with each other."

GREAT GATSBY REMIX "When ever you feel like getting to the break point," he told me," just remember how far you've gone and look at this as an opportunity of striving and not letting the pressure get to you." At that moment I realized how truly this man was being with me and made me more interested in his character, I thought in my head, while he didn't say much we've been quite distant to communicate in a reserved way, which I knew he meant a great impact.

REMIX PROJECT I decided to do a remix on our language we speak. Many of us speak thosands of languages which is an important utility to use in an every day basis. In my opinion I believe we remix many things in the languages we speak. For example, Spanish is my parent language, which in this case I remix a lot of words in Spanish to English or the opposite.It is truly crazy how we do this or how people can speak more than 5 languages and not remix words ? Like how ? what are your tricks! But anywho remixing words to create other words in a new language, or using this in an everyday basis is insane!  WHAT WAS YOUR REMIX ? :)

WHAT IS A "GREAT" PERSON ? ( journal topic ) Today's journal topic was pretty interesting to answer. I started off by defining the word "great" but it really didn't make clarification,so I interpret the word in another way, I used it as what most people see in other people that they consider "great". I assume people see in "great" people the following characteristics:admire,love,caring,respect,etc. they show to others and what makes them have so much aspiration towards these "great" people.  WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES A "GREAT" PERSON ?

"BQ" CH.1: GENESIS: THE BACKGROUND OF MY BIG QUESTION   Culture,background,and class is very significant to me and maybe other people as well. When I use the term "class" it's understood as where you are in economic standard,but I use it as people, and I apologize if I'm offending someone in no way, shape, or form do I mean to hurt/offend someones feelings. But my BQ was " when did sterotyping people begin?" was there a certain date? era? who began it ? who were the victims? who were the agressors? and why attack?    A worldwide know person has been an agressor to many people I personally think he is,but I  introduce to you, Mr.Trump. He has surely left clear on certain ethnecities he wants to "send them back to their country" and not just that but insult,hurt,discriminate, many people of The Unted States. From women,to all backgrounds being judged unfair. If I had a chance to interview him I would absolutely do it because I want to k...

EVERYTHING IS A REMIX REMIX: to combine or edit existing materials to produce something new * term applies to music mostly hip hop * DON'T NEED EXPENSIVE TOOLS, ANYONE CAN REMIX * you can even say " EVERYTHING IS A REMIX" ? * Myths of creativity* we have stories, & good stories, but for human history IMAGINATION was considered DIVINE * romantics- unique own expression like Bathoven * 3 basic elements to CREATE *Domain Knowledge:communicating with others 1.)Copying: straight out copying for ex. trying to speak a certain lang. 2.)Transformation:taking exsiting stuff and creating variations (time consuming) 3.)Combinations: taking exsiting stuff & merging them together Ex: Albert Einstein knew E=mc^2 but he didn't solve them since they were individualy supposed to be solve *In the arts as well not just creating *Impliccations: original ideas are considered property *Loss Aversion: we don't notice when we copy but when we have an original idea ...

"MUSIC AS LITERATURE" I consider music as literature , this is because famous artists have to use rules that literature teaches us like; literary devices,figurative language, and use of syntax and diction. Besides, the rules they should take into consideration and "follow" doesn't always have to be used because they're their own person and what they create means a lot to them and to the people that are listening to it, and creataes a story. The diffrence between a rap and a opera is VERY DISTINCT. A rap are lyrics that usually follow literary devices like alliteration fo example, while an opera is dramatic play usually a women with a VERY high pitched voice and instruments playing along, but the thing is it's very hard to understand the words she's using so we can't say if she uses literary devices or not . To add to this I believe the tone of the rap and the opera are VERY diffrent since one of them are most likely using explicit words while t...

HELLO 2017! Well 2016 was a hectic year,but I've been fortunate of experiencing that year with mindful thinking and approaching things differently. I've grown as a person to think like an adult if I could say,stay responsible of my duties like working (summer time) pay bills (phone) and get used to the ordinary lifestyle like cleaning,cooking,and washing. But as well being a better human being with yourself and others :)  How did 2016 treat you, as a better individual? :)
