My mad dream of an essay

In the stories "sound of thunder" and "self reliance" are both about making choices. In life are future is determined on are choices earlier on in life. For the next paragraphs I'll be talking about how are choices we make in this moment influence are future.

In the story "self reliance" we learn about Emerson and what he believes and how we should be are self and not let other judge us. In some cases the choices we make by being are self may not be the best idea because it could be interpreted in the wrong way and think we could do what ever.However are choices in Emerson point in veiw I think would be to make smart choices and think of our future and be smart about it.For exsample Emerson in his reading talk about being yourself and not let other bug you but by being yourself it doesn't mean to just do what ever you want because later on in life the choices you made will be where you stand in the future like if you start to party and do drugs and think you don't need to go to school then you probably won't have the best job and will screw up your future.So are choices we make now do effect are future.

In the story "Sound of thunder" by Ray Bradbury Eckel pay $10,000 to travel with time safari inc that take you back in time to the dinosaurs age and is allowed to hunt them. In this story the choices you make may ruin your future.In the story you had to stay on the trail and follow strict instruction and Eckel didn't  follow them and step off trail which messes up the future. In this journey you were only aloud to shot animals with marks on them.The choice Eckel made almost ruin his future and even almost had him killed but he lucky his safari leaders didn't kill him. 

In both storie "on self reliance" and "Sound of thunder" your choices you choose will effect your future etheir in a good way or can ruin your future. These moment in "self reliance" influence are future by making us think over are choices but do it in a way to make us not ruin are future.In "Sound of Thunder" these moment influence us by making right decisions and follow rules.

In both storie "on self reliance" and "Sound of thunder" your choices you choose will effect your future etheir in a good way or can ruin your future. These moment in "self reliance" influence are future by making us think over are choices but do it in a way to make us not ruin are future.In "Sound of Thunder" these moment influence us by making right decisions and follow rules.

As you can see in my first paragraph I stated my thesis.In the following paragraph I disscussed what self reliance was about and how it influences are future by the choices we make. For the paragraph after that one I disscused what "sound of thunder" was about and how the choices we chooses effect are future. After that paragraph I compared both stories in the same paragraph. My last paragraph is closing paragraph.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING FART)

Response to A "Sound Of Thunder"

I read some of the story I didnt finsh it but what I understand from the story is Eckel went on a safrai but going back to the past to hunt aniamal in the past like dinosaurs . In order for him to do this hourney he had to pay $10,000 just to travel and hunt and if he doesnt follow any of the other rule he need to pay $10,000 again.

Emerson Child Essay

In the the essay on self reliance by Emerson you learn about him as a thinker and how he go about thing and how he see everything. In the following paragraphs I will explain his syntax his tone and diction as if i was saying it to a 10 year old.

In this first paragraph I am a explain his syntax. The way Emerson chooses and uses his word are pretty straight foward it not like young good man brown where you would need to look up alot of words even as an adult. Emerson uses alot of qoutes to get his message through. For exsample one of my favorite qoute are "Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! in the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic."This is one one of my favorite qoutes because it saying us as younger kids had forces because we would scream out what we want and wouldn't let us be affected by other people but as we grow older we be more careful with what we do because of how other people would look at us.His syntax is similar to his diction.

In this paragraph I will explain Emerson diction or his choice of word in a particular situation. Emerson choice of word in his essay is pretty obvious for exsample his whole main point of the story is how we let others get into are minds to judge us. We as people care what others think about us and that his point we shouldn't care what other think about us but it unfortunate that we do anyways. For exsample Emerson said "Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again." Which means speak what you want and don't let any one get in the way of it or let them judge you.

In this story Emerson tone is more of a disappointment of how the world became as we grew older. Emerson just want peace and for everyone to be diffrernt and not to be judge.For exsample he said
"I wish it to be sound and sweet, and not to need diet and bleeding. I ask primary evidence that you are a man, and refuse this appeal from the man to his actions. " This mean he want everything to be quiet and non judgementap and for us to die and say what we want with out let anyone bring you ng you down or feel uncomfortable. Emerson tone is just depression and disappointment of what world had to become.

As you can see in the last paragraphs I disscused the syntax,diction, main idea, and tone in a way for a 10 year old to understand. As a 10 year old he/she should know his main idea was to not let no one judge you an to be yourself like you did when you were younger.

Emerson presentation notes

trust thy self you should trust your instinct some time it the best for yourself

the only way to have a froend is to be one

being honest is what get you to have friends

nothing van bring you peace but your self

try your hardest in lifep
do not give up in life

get your beliefs by yourself believe what you believe

to be great is to be misunderstood

a man is his own start
make ur own destiny

nothing can bring you peace but urself

We cant sit around and wait for happiness

you are you key to your own happiness

society will alway be changing

emerson was born may 25,1803
he died april 27,1882


look within yourself

therw is something which you can do better then others

being an individual without relying on others ideas is hard to acheive

emerson urge his reader to follow their individual will instead of conforming to social expectation


except are self so we can grow sucess is in are mind

we all have different point of veiw

dont let anyone bring you down

Emerson said it

"Man is his own star"

"But if I'am the devil child, I will live then from the devil"

"To be great is to be misunderstood"

"Speak your latent conviction,and it shall be the the universial sense; for the inmost in due time because the outmost"

Speak your mind no matter what other thinks just like this class

"Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, make much impression on him and another one "

"The secrete of fortune is joy in our hands"

If you actually do the work no one can take the sucess from you

"We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that devine idea which each of us represent"

Were scared to speak up because of what other think

"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself"

"The god love him because men hated him"

I am self reliant

self reliance notes
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men

Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! in the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic.

You must court him: he does not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness.

He would utter opinions on all passing affairs, which being seen to be not private, but necessary, would sink like darts into the ear of men, and put them in fear.

Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.

I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions.

doctrine-

philanthropist

succumb

I wish it to be sound and sweet, and not to need diet and bleeding. I ask primary evidence that you are a man, and refuse this appeal from the man to his actions.

I cannot consent to pay for a privilege where I have intrinsic right. Few and mean as my gifts may be, I actually am, and do not need for my own assurance or the assurance of my fellows any secondary testimony.

ostentation

Their every truth is not quite true

chagrins

The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency

Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again

To be great is to be misunderstood.

Honor is venerable to us because it is no ephemeris

3. Describe the author's tone. Include a minimum of three excerpts that illustrate your point(s).

Indirect characterization- When Samantha turned into a bird.

Why does the author use both approaches, and to what end (i.e., what is your lasting impression of the character as a result)?

The author uses indirect and direct characterization to make the reading interesting. My last impression on the story was does Judith ever take back her wish.

2. Does the author's syntax and/or diction change when s/he focuses on character? How? Example(s)?

Yes because Judith went from being mean to Sam to being nice to Sam.

3. Is the protagonist static or dynamic? Flat or round? Explain.

It dynamic because all the changing in whishes and emotions.

4. After reading the book did you come away feeling like you'd met a person or read a character? Analyze one textual example that illustrates your reaction.

Respect My Authority

Some may say that most authority are bad people like cops and I some what agree but some cops and authority can be actually helpful or save you from danger. Now when your around Authority you may feel somewhat threaten weather it a parent, teacher, cop,someone who has more power, or even by a military branch.When were around parents we want to show are best and show respect and behave. When were by a teacher or adult or a military person we try to act good because you feel under pressure.Now when your around a cop weather your in your car driving and there behind you your mind start to wander if your doing domething wrong or are they going to pull you over and you get nervous or even if your walking doing nothing wrong you might feel threaten because maye something going on that you don't know about. Now authority help out alot and tries to protect us for the most part weather it watch out there a car coming or teaching you something new or even maybe if something dangerous is happends.

SOCRATIC SEMINAR #1/ EARTH ON TURTLE'S BACK)

The language from the Earth on Turtles back was different because most people now a days talk slang and the story more serious. Also the story was from along time ago and not everyone speaks like that. It important to say word by word to see how the story changed over time and also that people can use different words and the story will have a whole new meaning. Retelling the story can be helpful if your explaining it to someone that doesn't understand. Also if a word or sentence disappears then the whole story can be changed.

Also how in the story almost all the sentences are short that how when people text now a days there short sentences. Also everything easy to follow and read.


It is important to tell the story because if the story not told word by word the story can have a total different meaning. Also the story always better when it told word by word most of the time not all the time.

Response to ''The Earth On Turtle's Back''

In the short story I found it interesting because of the wife dream and how the husband said it was a dream of great powers and how there was nothing but water and animals underneath them. I liked the part where the animals saved her from falling into the ocean and how the Duck, Beaver, and Loon tried to bring up earth but couldn't but then how a small voice said '' I will bring up earth or die trying'' and the small animal Muskrat brought up earth and sense they didn't know where to put earth I like how turtle let the animals put it on his back so the girl would have somewhere to stand.

My First Impression

My first impression to the rights to your opinions was the 5 pages of the reading was intresting. I find that mist people don't know there rights. I feel like everyone should know there rights. I think that everyone had the right to say what they want depending on the moment. If everyone knew there right i am sure it would help them out through life and on difficult moment if there in trouble with the law. Also when the writter mentioned about a friend crossing the street and a car was coming and he told her there was a car coming and kinda saved her life i can relate to that. I can relate because I did the same for a friend when a car was coming because I wouldnt want to watch a friend get hit right in front of me. 

My frist impression on "Richard Cory" was kinda depressing. I found it depressing because everyone believed that he had a good life and he was the perfect type of guy but no one new what was really going on. No one would of thought that he was going through rough times and would put a bullet through his head. Everyone thought he was rich and living his life happy. 

Welcome!!
