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...

"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? :)
