The institutional school

Two things that some people might think are very comparable, a mental institution and a school. No I am kidding, but one can compare the two. The mental institution in Cuckoo's nest can be compared to our school because first of some kids hate authority figures. The McMurphy's at our school can be clearly pointed out because they clearly hate the teacher and authority figures. They resent any control over themselves and do not listen. They make the class get distracted and try and be as outrageous as possible without getting in trouble.
The second comparison is the ways to keep the students/patients under control. First are the teachers who can give you a bad grade then, they can give you detention similar to how the big nurse could give pills or shots then you could get suspended from school or get sent up to the misbehaver center in the institution. then you can get expelled which compares to lobotomy or shock therapy in the book. Another comparison is more homework to the louder music. Showing that the school has similar control over its students as an institution to its patients.
The third comparison is Chief to people who do not try and get bad grades. The comparison can be made that Chief pretends to be deaf and cant talk and some kids pretend to be dumb when they are just lazy and do not try. And just aas McMurphy knows that Chief is faking there are people know that the kids do not at all try there hardest, and people know they could do better. there are also the kids that are actually dumb which can compare to the patients that actually have disabilities.

Complexity of the brain

The human brain is, in my opinion the least understood part of the body. The truth is I do not think other parts of the body are misunderstood, and the brain seems to be very, very difficult to understand. The brain seems to be the most complex thing in the world and therefore least understood. The brain can do so many things and people will never fully understand how and why the brain chooses what it does. No one will ever fully understand how the brain decides what is right or wrong and what is bad and good. No one will understand how the brain chooses to be sad or happy, or how it chooses to be hyper or depressed, why chemicals react the way they do. No one will understand how the brain chooses to believe or not believe.
Medicine has advanced greatly over the years and will continue to advance, the newest technology is a skin cell gun that helps heel burs by placing skin cells on the damaged skin. The have made a serious burn heel in a few days rather than weeks. This new technology shows how medicine advances. ( link to video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXO_ApjKPaI) The advancement of medicine is amazing and medicine can fix any part of the body, that is except for the complex brain. With all the advancements in medicine modern medicine can pretty much fix any thing except for complications in the brain. The brain is the least understood part of the body and is much less understood by modern medicine than other parts of the human body. There have been solutions to some small problems in the brain yet, complex problems in the brain seem to be impossible to fix. The solutions set for parts of the body have solved many problems yet there seem to be little to no solutions to problems in the brain.

Top Ten Movies

For the assignment we are supposed to pick are top 10 movies of all time so here it goes i dont have a opinion of the order i just like the following movies ...

The Hangover One of the funniest movies of all time and I could watch it multiple times because its so hilarious
Anger Management I haven't seen this movie in so long but its about this guy that has to make people believe he does not have anger management but in doing this he gets very very frustrated and all his efforts are wasted but it makes the movie very funny and worth while i also love the ending
Armageddon This movie was very interesting about an asteroid moving toward earth and a team is sent out to try and split the asteroid to avoid collision with earth this movie is suspenseful and sad at times but it was a very very good movie that i enjoyed watching and want to see it again
Gone in 60 seconds another great movie, its about this guy that has to collect cars for some reason, by collect i mean steal, but its a list of cars that he gives nicknames, they are all very cool cars and he has to think of ways to trick the police so he can get them all. he decides to make a team and together they attempt to collect the cars

DEATH OF A SALES MAN THEMES OF ACT 1

The play titled The Death of a Salesman reviles three main themes in the first act. From the start of the play a reader can see themes begin to develop. The most obvious theme is the theme of the American Dream. The idea behind the American Dream is that men were supposed to succeed and lead of life of great success and ownership, ownership of a house, car, family, and advancement from nothing to great success. The theme of the American dream directly comes out when the reader notices that Willey has tried his entire life to obtain this American Dream. He started with nothing, and bought a house and car and tried his best to obtain a successful job and family but instead he turned out to be a failure and his sons also turned out to be lacking in their abilities.

The second major theme presented in the play is the theme of man vs. self. This theme presents itself with the great misfortune of Willy. Willy’s fight to obtain success has lead him to fight a constant battle with himself ever since the start of the play and even before. His hopes for his children and expectations from himself leads him to go a little crazy and losses the battle with himself, showed by his attempts at suicide. His life has become miserable and he wishes to do whatever he can to benefit his family. Willy’s constant stride to achieve success leads him to lose the battle between inside of him which declines his health.

The third main theme provided in the first act of the play is the theme of man vs. society. Willy’s life is full of impressions on him. He is a sales man and therefore must be well liked. His struggle to support his family leads his ties with society to strain. He has outdone his job and is declining in the company. He was at one point a man of respect but is now laughed at and cannot understand why. His impression of what people think of him has become unclear with laughter he hears behind his back. This theme of man vs. society clearly reflects how society reacts on his inability to quit working.

Fast Blog

Well its 11:49 and i just remembered we have to do a blog... or do we? I do not remember what was said in class about the issue. 10 minutes to write a blog lets see if I am up to it. First thing on my mind is the tree. it looked a little better this week but still does not live up to its beauty in the past month.  Another thing i remember talking about is leeches. They are definitely not good for you in any way shape or form. Nothing that sucks ones blood is. A leech was used in the past but i think modern science overcomes that unskilful tactic of fighting a disease or sickness. 

Also teacher appreciation is a thought on my mind. Well all, no most of my teachers in high school have been awesome picking one was really hard. I wanted to write to two but I did not or do not have enough time. Teachers make themselves good or bad. A good teacher can openly talk to the students in a serious or joking matter, a bad teacher cannot. I think thats what the difference  is. Also a good teacher can get things done in a timely bu fun matter. When there is a plan of what to do for one day the teacher should complete it most of the time unless  another topic came up that benifites the class, a teacher should be able to tell the difference between a good and bad topic.

Also a teacher should never jump to conclusions. if they do the student will lose respect  for them. one thing I dont think some teachers realize is that they must gain the students respect. The teacher must do this before joking around to tell the class that they mean buisness. one last thing for this week. A teacher must keep the class interested no matter what. If you lose attention it is not necessarly the students fault it means they are not interested in what you have to say. if students talk that means they are distracted, a teacher can either eliminate the distraction or find a way to lead it back to the topic on hand.tell me what you think  and see you next time 

The fall

The new season is in. Yes it is fall but who really likes this season? Especially this year when its already so so cold. This season teases us about the past summer and says "oo ya summers over now you have to wake up every day and go to school". The fall is kind of a horrible place when you think about it.

People say that the fall is a beautiful time, "the views are amazing" they say. But the fall ruins what it created. The views it created and beauty it created it also destroys it. What am i talking about I'll tell you. Look at the tree right in front of the English class we are in. It used to be a beauty. The contrast of colors that the new season created was truly beautiful. it looked kind of like this: 
but better. Many people in class witnessed the site of such natural beauty. But as time passed it changed and looked kind of like this

and who wants to look at this.

The fall does create natural beauty but after the beauty it destroys it. The fall teases the individual about the changing weather. It teases about the coming weather if not being cold outside for itself. Like today for example it was freezing. The coming of the winter known as fall  really is not a good time. This year has also been cold ruining the only good thing about the fall. The coldness will ruin the trick or treaters time outside. It will hopefully not be so cold, but if it is anything like tonight I will be upset. The fall provides little to no excitement for me and I really do not  feel much excitement in this fall. other than Halloween especially this year.  

Doing Blogs

When I found out that we have to do blogs in English class I was kind of hoping Mr. B would drop the idea. When he did not do so I figured that I  would hate doing them. But MR. B proved me wrong. The only bad part is coming up with something to write about. After that its a breeze to do the blog. When a person gets to choose what they write about and get to do it weekly I think they become a better writer inside. Also since we have to some up with our own ideas it makes it easier to write the start of essays that have assigned topics. 

When I did my first few blogs I did not like it because I had to write about something in assigned and it took a long time. But now that we get to choose our own topics once you choose one you fly through writing it. I also like it that we get our ideas out on topics we discussed in class. Say you thought of something to add to the discussion you can blog about it and MR. B will see your thought on the subject. Also if you did not contribute to the discussion heres your place to make up for it because anyone can see this. Also i like it that Mr. B has his own blog that we can read. It makes it that everyone can see what he thinks about certain topics and whats on his mind so we have an opportunity to bet some background on info maybe he did not have time to tell us in class.

 One other thing I like about blogs is reading other peoples. When I go and read a blog I get to see what that individual is thinking about. When i see there ideas i get to change mine or make new ones if i did not have an opinion on that certain subject or matter. These blogs help us students connect because we can agree or disagree and talk it out even on the blog. These blogs help us connect and become a better class as a whole specially when we read a person's that we don't know that well because we can see there ideas and agree or disagree. We learn alot about each other from these blogs and i don't completely hate ding them that much anymore. The only thing I hate is that  they have to be up by a certain time because sometimes i fall asleep and am forced to do them late.
