Ayat’s English blog

 Today we did a worksheet. The worksheet was about Emily Dickinson. We went downstairs to another teachers room. I don’t know her name, but I really like her. We are preparing for our test Friday.

       Today in class, we analyzed a poem. I think the creator of this poem’s name was Emily Dickson, I’m not sure. I’ll have to find out before Friday, because we are testing on her. I know she made poems in the 1800s and was denied for her things to be published. Mr. Rease told us she was denied because she “didn’t fit the standards of the poems being produced at that time.” She was also black and a woman. She didn’t become famous until after death, never able to see her work being celebrated.

    Today, for the bell ringer, we did something new. Instead of writing down our bell ringer, we typed it on our bloggers. The bell ringer for this afternoon was very interesting. The interesting part was hearing about people's answers, to see how they felt about whether there was any extra terrestrial life outside of Earth. Many people felt as thought there could be, and I agree to some extent, but at a certain point it doesn't feel or seem to be as believable, because there's never enough evidence to fully convince me. Today felt like a Tuesday, but it's still just Monday. Thankfully I don't have much homework today.

    Based on the evidence provided in the video, it didn't convince me very much that there is life outside of Earth. My reaction to the image of Earth from Mars, is that we are very small, and things or problems that happen in our lives might not be as big or be as impactful as it might seem to us. I didn't have much reaction to the sound of the black hole, just because it didn't sound alarming or like anything to worry about, but that may be because I don't know much about science, to a scientist it might be alarming, but to a normal civilian such as myself, I am not too worried. This puts my life into perspective, because my problems that happen as a teenager are not as big as I make them seem, things that happen t me, does not mean the end of the world.

    Again, I forgot to blog another Friday afternoon. I think I forget, because when you come home on Friday after a long week you often feel like you have no more responsibilities for the rest of the week, although that never seems to be true, because every weekend I'm busy. From now on I will try to always remember, but I know I may slip up here and there. I don't remember anything about Friday, but I know we turned in our Origin myths. My origin myth was printed, by Mr.rease, and was entirely too long (about three pages), but I couldn't figure out a way to condense it into one and a half pages.

  I did it on another sheet of paper, first photo.

     Although the week isn't over, it has gone by very quickly, I feel. Today, like the rest of the week, was very fast. Today in class we took notes for about ten minutes. These notes were just definitions, and being able to understand their meanings. After this, we evaluated a video using "Space Cat." Today's lesson was very easy. After we took notes, we worked on our origin myths. That was it for today.
