Premonitions

On multiple occasions, right when i go to bed i remember that my ipod is downstairs and not plugged into my ihome. I am already in bed at this time so i decide not to go downstairs and get it. It may not sound that bad but in the morning it is the thing that wakes me up and without it i just sleep in. This is when i have a bad feeling that i will be late for school the next day because i woke up to late.
The next morning i wake up and it is 7:20 and i haven't even taken a shower yet. I think about how i should of just gotten out of bed, went down stairs and got my ipod but it is to late for that. I take a quick shower, get dressed and get somehting to eat then ride to school as fast as i can. Unfortunately it is to late and i get another tarty just because i wouldn't walk downstairs.

Shakespear Stories

One movie i found that had many instances of plots and ideas from Shakespeare plays was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. One of there parts was when the principal was out looking for Ferris and he finds himself in an pizza parlor. He thinks he sees him and he walks up to the person and says something mean, and the her person turns around and its not him showing mistake identity. It seems like when there is a mistake identity in a Shakespeare play it is funny and in Ferris Bueller's Day off it was too.
Another instance where there is a plot in the movie Ferris Bueller's day off that is like one from Skakespeare is how Cameron's dad loves his car more that life itself. Although they didn't show the part at then end when Cameron faces his day you know he has to choose between the car and his son. This is kind of like a love triangle in that there are two things he loves and they conflict eachother so he has to chose one. Since the car was destroyed in the end and Cameron is taking the blame for it i think his father will choose Cameron becasue he is sticking up for himself.

Shakespeare

As we watch more and more of Shakespeare's movie i am surprised at the ways he writes and it is a lot easier to understand than i thought i would be. It is not hard to get used to though, this is because it is easy to relate it to other movies i have seen, and it uses lots of humor that i can understand. However there are somethings that are harder about it. Such as the two meanings to the words and all the people have weird names that you cant remember.
A part that surprised me in this movie was the setting and the variety of props. It was weird to see bikes with lights in what looked like and 1800 setting in a small village. Also the humor and writing of Shakespeare surprised me, i thought it would be much more proper but there is stuff that is in movies now days like sex and nudity. Even though this movie is kinda weird and hard to follow i am very excited to start reading Romeo and Juliet next week. I think i will enjoy it very much because i enjoy good writing and interesting love stories.

Worst part of Animal Farm

I think the worst part of animal farm in the parts that we have read was when Napoleon drove Snowball out of animal farm so he could have power. This was the worst part i think because of what this action did to the farm after Snowball was gone. If Snowball had not been run out i think with his leadership the farm would have been much better off. They would have kept up their good harvests and not broken all the rules that Snowball made for the farm in the first place.
When Napoleon did this i was angry because i thought Snowball was a good leader and he was much more fair and just all around better. If it had not been for Napoleons malevolent act of greed the farm would not have manipulated the farm and broken the 7 commandments. Also since the other animals on the animal farm like the horses and sheep are not so smart this was all easy for Napoleon to cover up and change the rules like they had always been like that. I think he is just mean and unfair to the animals just because they are not as smart as he is.

Animal Farm Insight

I really like the book because the way i learn history the best and like to learn history is not via reading directly about it. These metaphors that make up the book are really interesting and it is easy for me to figure them out. Mainly like who the characters represent and also i like how some characters represent a group of people or an ism. The bird thing for example represents religion and i can see that and it makes sense.
Not only does it make it easy to learn about the Russian revolution I also enjoy the fable/short story aspect of the book. I have always enjoyed reading fables because in the end you learn something and you can never expect another book or something else to go on. Finally i think it is fun to think about some of the things the animals are doing in the book. For example firing a gun, a horse stunning a human and building a windmill.

Winter break

Little did i know that when i woke up the next day the ground would be covered with beautiful snow. It would also kick off a very fun, very white winter break filled with fun. over the course of this winter break i went sledding, hung out with friends, played my new computer and i had a new years eve party at my house. My favorite of these was most definitely the party on new years, with only two of my friends, one of which was Nolan. We drank, sparkling cider of course, we watched movies and even messaged a guy random stuff on WOW chat for 2 hours. This was all super fun and that is why i think it was my favorite thing i did this winter break.

Expectations

Over the course of high school expect many hings from my self. Some of which are academic and some of which are personal goals. These goals consist of getting only getting above 80 percent on every grade on my report cards. Another academic goal i have for high school is to pass all three parts of the WASL my freshman year so i don't have to do them later.
Not only do i have academic expectations for myself i also have person goals i want to achieve. These goals consist of only getting a ride i to school when i really need one but every other day just ride my bike to school. This will help the climate crisis very little but if everyone did it it would help so much. Another goal i have for myself that i expect to achieve is being on a varsity high school team of some sort. I was on JV for tennis this year but i hope to practice alot this year and summer and hopefully make varsity next year.
