If we look up from our devices for just one second and just observe our surroundings, we could either have the right to be shocked, or even ask in confusion "what.?" and immediately go back to our devices making sure we didn't miss out anything super important in those point something seconds. While some might see it as totally normal, others might finally realize that everywhere we see, everybody is distracted by some sort of electronic device. We see the people on streets if there are any, walking with earbuds jammed in their ears blasting music not caring if they could hear anything, else. Looking down on their phones only looking up to press the button that allows them to walk to the other side safely. We see all the drivers in their cars some of them looking down once in a while, others straight looking down for a couple of seconds at a time not caring about others people safety much less pedestrians who are also unaware of what is happening.  Although is might sou...

I decided it was time for new shoes. The ones I have currently are already old and I mostly use them everyday. Now I know that it might sound spoiled that I want new shoes because I use mine current ones everyday, and and they are still in decent condition, but I am very grateful and fortunate that my parents, although it is still hard for them, could afford to buy me some. I used the Ethos Pathos Logos Kiros method to do this argument. I started the argument by simply asking them. They said that I already had so many and that it was unnecessary for me to get new ones. I proceeded to use Logos (logic)to tel them that yes, I do have several pairs of shes, but they are for specific sports and can't be used as regular daily shoes. I used Ethos as why I should get new shoes, I take care of them unlike my brother who had gotten a pair the same time I did and he had already gotten a new pair. This convinced them so I waited for the weekend to go buy my new pair of shoes.

Ethos    Pathos    Logos     Kairos *notes* Logos (greek for "word") logic focuses attention on the message Ethos (greek for "character") essence of a person's character or credibility Pathos (greek for "suffering" , "experience") appeals to the audience for sympathy  Kiros- is it appropriate. does something fit the rhetorical tone of the piece  dropping an f bomb in the middle of an essay

meme we enjoy memes because we relate to them we feel connected to the people we share they with it gives us a sense of satisfaction when they get it because if feels like they get us the language we use itself creates relationships with ourselves a sense of in our out meme is compelling partial because of what creates between people common ideas create relationships viral vs. viral viral caused by a virus virus is a metaphor highly contagious spread by a network and many mediums viral spread broadly and massvily takes n a momentum that seems like its on its own memes helps messages get viral www- world wide web created a skin so we can see it how were seeing this screen so that it wouldn't be a black screen 2.0 a more advanced version than the origin concept invites feedback and actively contribute changing the thing itself 4 channels web log = log= journal = log

Monday was a not so great day. To start off, I was extremely tired because during the weekend, it was my nephew's Baptism. It was a hectic weekend, and on Sunday I was at their house all day and got to do my homework till late at night. I stayed up doing my homework, so in the morning I was tired and had a hard time getting up from my bed. I always go to my friends house before school and we walk together, and since I was running late, we didn't even get to get breakfast, plus my my teacher doesn't allow us to eat in her classroom for some reason. .-. The rest of the day was pretty meh, but all of a sudden my back started hurting and it felt like it needed to pop, but it wouldn't and it was not a pleasant feeling. Since it was monday, my volleyball practice didn't start till an hour later after school ended, so I got to do some of my homework in that hour. During practice my passes were not the best, and I also got hit in the face. The rest of practice was alright I...

Ray Bradbury wrote the "Pedestrian" using his own life experience. One night he was walking in the street, and a police car stopped him  He got mad at this and goes home to write "The Pedestrian". H e uses the plot, tone, and characters to carefully put a story together that we could clearly understand and visualize. When he wrote this story in the 1990 he wrote is as if the setting had taken place in 2050. What is truly amazing is the way  he foreshadowed everything to what is now our present, he mentions televisions, lonely streets, and police cars. When he wrote the story in the 90's, it might have made someone think that Bradbury was crazy, because it is just unbelievable that he imagined such things when the advanced technology didn't exist.

Today I read "The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online", by Howard Rheingold, and it had some pretty interesting points. The mail idea that I took form this piece of writing was that it is all up to the host to for their online conversation to come out how they want it to come out. Some of the main points I took out of the essay were that the host should be accepting to everyone, stay connected with the readers/ participants, and they should have fun.  The host should always be accepting toward everyone, because they are  practically putting their opinions out in the open, and not everybody is going to agree with them, so just like the other person accepted the host's opinion, the host has to accept everybody else's opinions. The reader should also stay connected with the the audience, which also connects to the acceptance of others. If somebody states their opinion the host must not disagree and leave the conversation but simply continue the conversation Th...

Today I socialized with my fellow classmates about each others definitions and the results were not really surprising. It is a fact that we all think differently and do things in different ways so I want really surprised that even though we were asked to define the same words, we came up with different definitions. For example, the word for meme, i simply imputed a meme that was very popular in 2019 which was the -and i oop. However, one of my classmates used the literal definition of meme. A lot of the vocab words i sensed it would be easier for them to understand if I had a visual representation of them and it would feel more reatable if I saw the pictures. Also, for the memes, the ones who had pictures, they were all different pictures which was also interesting to see.

I don't really have a plan for the next 10 years of my life, but what I do know is that I sure am sending  a lot of time on it. Think about it, I get sent to school for about six hours a day for 5 days to get an education, and sometimes, most of the time, I'm not really gonna need those skills I learned in blank class unless it becomes my major. Afterschool, I head to practice for an hour and a half to two hours every day, but I really enjoy those 90 -120 minutes. I get home and do all of my homework that takes hours and hours and once in a while shed some tears because its to hard and useless. But hopeful all of this comes in handy and pays of in the end. 😅

The thought of life after high school sometimes makes me want to cry. I mean when I was little, being and adult seemed fun! I dreamt of getting married, having kids, living in a big house with a big backyard, just living life to the fullest. But now, I have come to realize that adult life is nothing like that. You have to worry about money (if your aren't rich), bills, and it is just stressful. Although we might not want to become adults, the reality is that it is inevitable, and we have to face the reality that we have to save up some money, or else were going to be broke and homeless. I have some money saved because I have worked over the summers, but hat money slowly disintegrates by each little craving I have, and all that money we spend on things like "it's just a dollar" adds up and we end up with no money if we don't carefully save it. The only way we can really earn money honestly is by working, and working hard for it. We just gotta hope for the best and ...

When Hawthorne wrote Goodman Brown, he must've done it because of something. I think he wrote this story as sort of a warning to show the readers,that not everyone you know is who you really think they are. His purpose was to show how someone's perspective on someone could change so fast when they really start to pay attention to one's personality, and gain a better understanding of who they really are. Faith, Brown's wife, was aptly named, because when he met he man on the walk, Brown kept saying that he wanted to go back to Faith, which he knew that the man standing in front of him was evil, so "Faith" had a double meaning. Brown didn't want to go with the evil man and kept say that he didn't want to go with the evil man but he wanted to continue his faith. The pink ribbons mentioned over and over in the story signify that even though Goodman Brown is faced with the devil and trying to be taken his faith away, there is still a little hope for him...

When I first read  A Dream Within a Dream   by Edgar Allan Poe ,  I was confused, so I reread it and reread it until I finally somewhat mostly understood it. Although the first stanza is still a little confusing, I had an understanding of wheat it meant. When he said, " O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp?", I saw it as like if we are dreaming of something, it is usually something nice, something we wish we had, but when reality hits us all those dreams disappear, and we wish we could just grab them to comfort us, but there is nothing that we could do. Also when he says, "Grains of the golden sand--- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep," , I interpreted as the very few happy moments we had, or also those little golden grains of hope we have slowly dissolve. Or, as as we get older, those few good memories we had, slowly creep away away as we got older, because we start forgetting and slowly fading ...
