The Crucible "Deep Thoughts"


The phrase that I chose was "It's more difficult to forgive yourself if the person you have hurt doesn't forgive you." I chose this one because a few weeks ago I went hiking and lied to my parents about who I was with and then I was forced to tell my parents the truth when I got lost. After this incident my parent could trust me or forgive very quickly, therefore, I couldn't forgive myself. I believe that once you figure out the true meaning of this phrase you will never want to lie or hurt anyone ever again.

Thoreau's Civil Disobedience Vignettes

1) In this situation I believe that civil disobedience would not work because "I" had other choices besides enlisting into the military. Therefore, "I" sign up to fight for my country through anything, but if I really didn't want to fight I could "get injured" and LEGALLY not fight in the war.

2) If a person came to my door that was illegally in the U.S, I would choose to help them. Because no one can tell me who I should and shouldn't help.

3) I did not sign up for the military so I have obligation to fight for my country, and if someone were to try to make me fight I would gladly go to prison.

4) Yes this action is justified because they aren't displaying any violence.

January 7, 2011 Shooting

On January 7, 2011 a total of 19 people were shot in Tucson at a Safeway. Six of those who were shot died including a federal judge and a nine year old girl. Thirteen of the shooting victims were just injured including Gabrielle Giffords. When I first heard about this shooting it was said that Giffords was dead. My opinion on this event is, the person who did this is not the sharpest tool in the shead, but hopefully he feels gulty about what he did. for guilt is the ultimate punishment.

I feel that this new law is unfair because there are other classes in TUSD the are ethnic specific, like African American Studies and Native American Studies.

12/1/10 Assignment

1. What new information did you learn today?
      -Most airplane structures include a fuselage, wings, an empennage, landing gear, and a powerplant.
      -The fuselage is the central body of an airplane and is designed to accommodate the crew, passengers, and cargo.
      -Older types of aircraft design utilized an open truss structure constructed of wood, steel, or aluminum tubing.
      -The wings are airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage and are the main lifting surfaces that support the airplane in flight. There are numerous wing designs, sizes, and shapes used by the various manufacturers.
      -Wings can be attached at the top, middle, or lower part of the fuselage. These designs are referred to as high-, mid-, and low-wing, respectively. The number of wings can also vary. Airplanes with a single set of wings are referred to asmonoplanes, while those with two sets are called biplanes.
2. Where did you get your information (post the link)?
http://www.runway35.com/2010/08/04/aircraft-structure/

3. What makes you think that the information you found was credible?
      Because most of this is on other sites too.

4. What do you think your approach for your presentation will be?

       I think I will be making a power point to show what I have learned, but I don't know how to get the class involved in my presentation.

The Weather

Cold weather, to me, is way better than being hot because when it is hot there is really no way to cool yourself down without air conditioning or swiming. However, when it is cold out there are tons of ways to stay warm. So the cold weather doesn't bother me.
