This year was certainly unlike any other year. From the very beginning is was already different because we were given the option of an online approach or the old school way. I thought this was very cool because it really showed that our teacher cared how we wanted to learn and that is appreciated. I found it most meaning full that we had our 1 minute of mindfulness everyday because it's important to take or minds off things since our world is very chaotic. I wish I had done many things differently or example taken advantage of really adopting to this new style of learning, because it might be hoe all the classes are in the future. Although I regret not fully taking advantage, I am grateful that I got to experience this new way of learning. It has helped me grow and expand my abilities and I am really thankful for that.

With online classes being the way we are learning, we have come a long way in a very short amount of time. We went from the education system being the same for centuries, to being completely online  in the span of a coupe of weeks.  We knew that at some point the system would change, but this pandemic really brought that idea to life. Technology is a very big factor in our lives already, it was only a  matter of time when this would happen. Although not everyone has the same privileges having internet at home most people were able to adapt. Although this new way of learning has has some positive outcomes, this really affect some families. Unfortunately, some kids really on school food as their only source of eating. With online classes thy are home all day and might not be able to eat the necessary amount.  Also, students are not as motivated to do work and complete assignments because its so easy to just no do it. Hopefully this all ends very soon and we are abl...

Isolation. Something that we never thought we would have to adapt too in the world we live in today. Because of the very serious corona virus, this has caused us to self isolate in order to prevent us from being infected. During this time, it has affected the whole world in many different ways. For me, it has affected me in a positive way too say the least. Since we stopped going to school, I have learned many things about myself. To start off, I have always enjoyed painting, and finished a painting hat i had stared back in December. Since then, I have done 2 more and am currently working on another one. I really enjoy painting because it is a way to forget about all the problems in the world and i also have some time to reflect on myself. During this time I have also gotten closer with my friends and met new people. With this pandemic going on I don't know if it is a good time to meet new people or not, because there is nothing to talk about and you can't meet up to do things,...

Reading is possibly one of the most humble things to do. You sit down flip pages made of tree for hours, get consumed in a story, imagining characters and forgetting about your surroundings. I personally use to read all the time and took any opportunity I had to read. I really helped my school wise because it enlarged my vocabulary. If for a not so bizarre reason, the president decided to outlaw the action of reading I think it would really take a big toll on people. Reading is an amazing thing to experience and it really helps many people in different ways. We have been reading for millions of year and its part of our history. Even though technology is advancing an developing everyday, the feeling of physically holding a book and flipping the pages is really important to people. All the news we get on TV or social medias is brought up, and created so quickly it changes so fast you don't even know what's real. If someone takes the time to write and read something, then you know...

I think the central idea of the book is why and how far the true length Gatsby was willing to go for love. He was willing to do anything for his love to Daisy, that he even paused his own life and built his empire around her.

RESOLUTION the character of the police should be an example to all the rest if the characters because he shows up on time  we move away from the funeral into this Chicago setting because nick is at the funeral and is reminiscing old memories in Chicago the fact that Michaelis saw Mr Wilson leave with a loaded gun tom and daisy are both perfect for each other,letting other people clean up their messes  on one hand he's talking about what america would've looked-amazing beautiful--- that's  what Gatsby thinks of daisy  Gatsby is so close to getting daisy  Daisy and Tom left their houses with baggage They are careless people the american dream -if we work harder Henry C Gatz showed up--- he was amazed with what Gatsby had accomplished Kilpspringer only called to pick up his shoes.  he was not concerned about attending the funeral Nobody attended the funeral. Only the postman Once in a while people still showed up t Gats...

In  this chapter: The mansion has an empty feeling and it seems bigger than ever Everything seems dusty and hasn't been cleaned in a  long time Gatsby feels as with his uniform he deserves Daisy but without it he feels in poverty again  the Gardner told Gatsby tat he was going to drain the pool  Gatsby didn't swim all summer so he thought he'd have a dip before autumn  Wilson shoots and kills Gatsby while he is in the pool and proceeds to kill himself afterwards

Here's what I got out of chapter 7  Gatsby started hanging out with Daisy and stopped having so many parties  Gatsby and Daisy KISS Gatsby fired all of his staff so that they wouldn't gossip about them  Tom, Jordan Baker, Gatsby and Daisy hangout  Tom confronts Daisy and Gatsby about their love chemistry---- asks him a lot of questions  Gatsby tells Tom that Daisy never loved him Daisy neither confirms nor denies this  things get heated with Tom and Gatsby-----> decide to head west  Gatsby and Daisy and Jordan and Tom in 2 cars  Daisy instantly KILLS Myrtle because of her driving super fast with Gatsby's car ---->he takes the blame  Daisy and Tom have diner and act like nothing has happened  Gatsby goes to check on Daisy and waits outside of her house to see if anything happens 

In this chapter: James Gatz is Gatsby's real name. He changed it at the age of 17  A reporter shows up to Gatsby's house asking him if he has anything to say ----> Gatsby was in the newspaper once again  Dan Cody was Gatsby's old friend. they were on a boat for 5 years Claimed he was " Son Of God" "She didn't have a good time" this proves that Gatsby throws these extravagant parties for Daisy Tom shows up with Daisy to Gatsby's next party There was a lot of celebrities at the party  Daisy didn't like the party and spent the whole night talking to women full of themselves  Nick and Gatsby talked about Daisy and Gatsby said that she wan the same person she was 5 years ago. Gatsby's wealth wont change Daisy's opinion  He was sad hoping she would realize she made a mistake 

In this chapter we also find out that Gatsby bought his house right across the bay just to be closer to Daisy  He tell him to cut his grass and contracts someone to do it  Gatsby wants Nick to invite her to some tea  Gatsby's plan was to go over to Nicks house while daisy was there and join them.  He was very nervous and wasn't acting like himself  he was pale and extremely nervous  Before the wedding Daisy had a tantrum saying she didn't love Tom , but the next day she was happy as ever and married Tom  Gatsby starts regretting going Nick leaves the room and Gatsby and Daisy start talking.  She know the exact date of when they met. She starts crying but when Nick returns shes happy again Gatsby wants t show Daisy his house so they go  Nick doesn't even seem like these there because the two of them are so into each other that they don't notice anything around him 

The test  put out about the chapters 1- 4 was a way for not only my classmates to understand, but it was away for me to know what I understood. I choose those questions, especially the one first one because the book starts off with someone speaking and for me It was very confusing because the book in general has a lot of varied vocabulary that I'm not familiar with so it made it hard for me to understand what was going on. I also chose the questions of the different characters to get a better understanding of them. Practically, the repetitive things was what I thought was important.

In this chapter: we are introduced to more characters in chapter 3, we are introduced to character but in this chapter, we see who they truly are and their true colors  Gatsby invites Nick to lunch he asks Nick what who he really thinks he is and proceeded to prove to Nick who he was  Gatsby and Tom meet while at lunch Daisy says she has changed her mind about marrying Tom but hen 2 days later she is happy as ever marrying him  Gatsby throws all these parties hoping Daisy will stumble into one Gatsby tells Nick to invite Daisy to tea 

the correct answers 1. Nick Carraway 2. He wants to go off  to New York and be succeed 1. She is Nick's cousin. Toms Wife 2. He just feels like it 1. Nick's neighbor. Daisy's old lover 2. Jordan is hated because she always lies 1. They were lovers when they were younger. Gatsby really loved her 2. Gatsby hosts do many parties because he wants to find Daisy.

There are 36 students in my AP Language & Composition class, and usually we don't all get to talk at once . Today in class we had the opportunity to discuss about what has happened up until now in the book. I thought this was very helpful because its always good to know where your other classmates stand. Here's what we discussed: Everybody knows what is happening/ the overall general idea, but is still semi confused Music affects the  mood good or bad personality memories  The future is unpredictable. 

Nick's cardinal virtue: "I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known." From everything that has happened, I feel as if Nick is being humble here by saying that he is one of the most honest people because he is right. He is surrounded with overall dishonest people. Tom is a cheater. Daisy acts as if she really is happy. Jordan has a different personalty depending to who she's talking to. Nick stays true to himself.

I just read chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby, add here's what I got out of it: At the party, Nick overhears 2 women in yellow dresses talking about Gatsby. They say that he killed a man once and that he was a German spy during the war. ---- this makes him mysterious in a way--- he is capable of murder When nick goes into Gatsby's library, he finds a man in there he is a "stout, middle- aged man with enormous owl-eyed spectacles" he called him a criminal because of the car accident When Nick first meets Gatsby, he doesn't even know ts him, He imagines him as "florid and corpulent person in his middle years". Nick hangs out with Jordan at the party and the more time they spend together, he finds out that she is a liar. She avoids clever shrew men and, is fake to herself to please others When Nick meets Gatsby during the party, they agree to meet for lunch the next day At the the end of the chapter, Nick proceeds to say "I am one of the...

During the one minute of mindfulness today, at lot was going through my head. Regarding my big question, I was thinking why we put our bodies out in the media and change them up if we dont really look look that. If everyone does this then in the end we are all posting altered pictures of ourselves and we will just look at ourselves in confusion when nobody looks like they presume in real life. I also wondered, because a lot of social media influencers are getting these beauty procedures done to them, how are they affecting the generations in the future? Also, how are their bodies going to look in the future? Is this group of people guinea pigs to a body fully "done"?

NOTES transcendent- to go above and beyond  Dr. Eckleburg has big blue eyes- they symbolize the sea  We meet Tom's MISTRESS (mrs wilson) Tom takes Nick up to new York to meet her.  They go into a small building and Nick also meets Mr. Wilson  Mrs. Wilson belittles Mr Wilson and is just using him for his money  Nick is neutral with all of this nobody has any sympathy for poor Mr. Wilson 

There are many steps to be taken regarding my big question, but here are 3 of them: Investigate influencers' pictures Interview 3 students  Research beauty standards throughout history
