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: Tree1.jpg image by MNGirlyGirl
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.

Stupid Decisions

As humans no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. From simple and not affecting anyone to drastic and affecting the lives and well being of not only yourself but the lives of others. How does this relate to class well in the crucible John Proctor. My friend Proctor made the horrible mistake of cheating  on his wife, not only is that a sin but after when she starts rumors about witchcraft he decides to save his name and not say anything. Thus causing many people to put shame to their name by admitting to something they didn't do but also causing many innocent to be hanged because they don not admit to a crime. 

That may be a very extreme example but what about when you do something without thinking. Say someone tells you to do something and you do it then you realize what you just did and they are laughing at you. It may be funny but how stupid do you feel? I know it happens to me and I know I do it to people all the time because it gives me a good laugh. 

What about when no one is around and you find something. You pick it up and then realize it was a bad idea what do you do? Or when you do something and then realize it was dumb. What happens when you get caught doing these things that could be bad? You cant just say "Ohh i thought it was wrong after I did it" even if you are telling the truth you still get in trouble. You may do stuff by accident and then realize what you did can't you ?

This last thing really annoys me. When you forget to do something and later remember that you forgot. Say you honestly forgot to do your homework it not like you still get full credit. But when teachers forget to do something they do not lose pay. Why should we lose credit? What about when you did it but forgot to bring it in? that really annoys me. Are we not human should we all be perfect? Why did I forget to do my blog till now ? This is all tell me what you guys think
