Les Mis #2

 Impression of Ch #2

I genuinely loved this chapter. Learning about how M. Myriel cared for the poor by trading his mansion for the small hospital for the sick, his household expenses are actually wasted for the need and same goes for his carriage and circuit expensed, just wasted on orphanages and charities. Sad how many assumed that he was just wasting money for himself and wanted to cutoff his check when they didn't know the kindness he held for others.

The Reason Victor Hugo Wrote Les Miserables

 Translation

If I can remember correctly, the reason why Victor Hugo wrote Les Miserables is because he's saying as long as there a cause, there will always be an effect? That's what I believe. There's a chain that will affect other situations. I know this response is really short but that's what I'm paraphrasing it too.

Journal Entries #1 (LATE)

 Journal Entries

1. August 25,

I love reading history books from all around the world, especially from Europe, Asia, and from my own people. If I'd recommend it to someone they'd snooze off because face it, they're still interested in Geronimo Stilton.

2. August 27,

I do get embarrassed when I get called out for my mistakes, especially if there are people around like I prefer to keep it in private please. But in the end I learn from them :^P.

3. Sep 3 (Own Topic),

Ever wonder how language was created? Like how did humanity invented the words and definitions without having any education? How did they create their own unique language and how can we understand one another? So many questions yet little answers.

Les Mis #1

 Response

Les Mis first chapter starts off with a brief introduction of M. Charles Francois Bienvenu Myriel of when he was born, his backstory and the work position. Normally whenever I read these types of books it always starts off with an event first then the brief introduction. The first reading was actually fun with a few laughs here and there. This biography is really interesting and hope to learn more. :^)

The Meaning Of A Native American Story

First Impression

This is honestly a good story. When I read the first lines I assumed it was going to be the creation of the Earth and then Adam & Eve. I was wrong.  Also I didn't read the title until now, if I had read it before then my thoughts would've been different. To be honest, this sounds like a Greek mythology story more than a Native American one, probably because since the Gods lived in the skies like any person predict in books, articles etc. One of the aspects that I liked is how the animals, despite them all being different, were able to communicate and help out the Chief's wife. Like how?? It's weird how us humans interpenetrate that all animals speak the same language. Also why is the turtle being credited on the title if he literally just swam up once the Earth was blooming. The other animals need credit for holding on to the wife and trying to bring the Earth up :^(.

It's Symbolic

Symbols

Questions

1. Please describe three examples of symbols you encounter in your life.

A. The bathroom (Female and Male), Jesus cross, and mathematical symbols (+,-,x).

2. Please describe two possible meanings of the green light at the end of Daisy's dock in The Great Gatsby.

A. One possible meaning of the green light is like a "go" sign to go forward like driving a car. Another can mean "green with envy".

3. What are some ways people are similar to animals?

A. Some ways people are similar to animals is that we eat, sleep, talk and  think. Sure it may not be the same but we still do it.

4. What is the one major way people are different from every other animal, including other hominid species?

A. Telling stories and inventing ideas that didn't exist in the world. Just imagine coming up with a box like...how???

5. How does telling stories -- and inventing symbols -- empower people to organize in large numbers?

A. Telling stories and inventing symbols empower people to organize in large numbers because although you know what one thing means, really you'll fit in with the others. An example is in a Catholic church. Sure you may not go there every Sunday, but you've been there a couple of times that you know the schedule and what the pope will do.

    

 

Hack To School Night (VIDEO/ANIMATIC)

 So my dad and I were really shy in showing our faces until he gave me an idea.

"How about you just voice record and animate it? You like drawing either way."

And can I be honest...this is my first time ever doing an animatic qwq now I know the pain of my friend (she animates more than me). Took me 3 days to do this I'm dying inside rn. Please excuse our stuttering we were really nervous doing this. Also I'm sorry for the messy writing I did this on my phone. :')

Essay

 Help to Improve

    Many things has happened this year, Covid 19, LGBTQ movements, and the BLM. Then we have pro and con sides. The pros wanting to help spread the movements and change the law system for the better while the cons preferring for it to stay the same and even trying to disrupt/ ruin the movements. Aren't we all human beings? What is wrong with these people trying to stop improvements for others in need. "United we stand, divided we fall" as Greek storyteller Aesop says. In this case we are divided and will continue for the future generation unless we put our differences/opinions aside and start helping.

Let's start with the pandemic. Yes we are all tired of wearing masks but you all need to realize that we are doing this to not just protect ourselves but those who are in greater danger of contracting it, the elders mostly. According to the CDC,"Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus.." (CDC.gov, Jul 14,2020). If you're one of those people who say that they can't breathe and it's not a law to wear it then you must be the most entitled idiotic person I've ever met. The fact that you don't want the virus to stop spreading and killing people. We already have 187k deaths here in the United States plus it's only required to use when going outside not to sleep, eat and shower with it. The president is in the group of idiots. According to him in a meeting with African American leaders he stated, "It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear" (cbsnews.com, A timeline of what Trump has said on coronavirus article). From the progress that America has done, I doubt that it will leave before 2021 reaches. South Korea has done a better job than us. They've only had 21k cases, 16k recovered and only 300 deaths. Honestly this country prefers to die than survive.

Next it's the LGBTQ movement. We have these every year around June-July, celebrating those to be proud of being homosexuals, transgenders, etc. But every year there's always the homophobics trying to threaten them and ruining their time. A transgender woman victim was brutally beaten by a mob inside her house. HER HOUSE. She stated, "what happened was people were yelling slurs at me and throwing objects...I threatened to call the police but that didn't stop the mob from bruising me and saying 'they would finish the job'" (6ABC NEWS). This is just unacceptable. This happens almost every day, an LGBTQ member gets beaten or even killed. Even in the 1950's, it wasn't legal for the same sex people to dance. DANCE MY GUYS SOMETHING THAT'S FUN AND HARMLESS TO DO 

:(. Luckily many activists such as Edie Windsor fought for gay rights and marriage. According to her, "On June 28,1969, I encounter the Stonewall riots...gay people were being out and proud about who they were amid this police raid.." (YT Drunk History, Edie Long Hard Fight for Marriage Equality). Other than that, when she married her partner and died, America didn't want to give the investments her wife left because of the DOMA law so she fought alongside Roberta Kaplan to remove that law. It became unconstitutional on June 26, 2013. Sexuality and gender shouldn't matter to anyone. It's our choice and not yours. Learn to accept, just because your family or friends don't doesn't mean you have to have the same mindset as them.

Lastly, the BLM movement. This has been one of the biggest movements that has happened in 2020 and should continue. These people have suffered enough from being slaves in the 1750's to having no rights still in the 1900's even though slavery was abolished. George Floyd's death was tragic. The guy literally couldn't breathe while y'all can with your masks and still complain. Not only that but it has shown how much the police can be brutal. Not that they have been but our eyes finally opened after seeing that incident. According to the source Mapping Police Violence, 

More graphs are on their website (mappingpoliceviolence.org)

 See that graph? Yes, colored people are most likely getting shot than whites. This is just injustice. Remember Martin's famous quote,"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed - we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all MEN are created equal." Right now, what do we see? A divided nation thinking the white's are and will always be supreme to other races. Here's something y'all probably didn't know but policemen were actually created to patrol at night and capture runaway slaves. Victor E. Kappeler, a PhD Foundation Professor wrote, "Slave patrols and Night watches, which later became the modern police departments...slave patrols helped to maintain the economic, assist the wealthy and helped recover-punish slaves" (plsonline.eku.edu). Yes, Policemen that were meant to protect us from danger was actually originated to harm others. It's honestly sad that we don't know if we should trust them or not anymore.

The question I'm supposed to answer, "How can arguing and giving up any right to our opinion save our lives, improve our country, and secure the future for the next generation?" Well, giving up any right to our opinion can save lives by listening and helping others more in need. If we continue to be neglectful and harmful, our future generation will just continue the chain unless one brave human being breaks it and changes the world. And we can be that human being. Don't we all want hope and not despair? We want to be united, not divided. In the end, we are all human beings with feelings. End discrimination and spread love.
