Carlotta’s masterpiece
Why do we appreciate education?
School systems

USA.                                        Mexico
Too much homework.              Beg for homework
Not enough freedom.               Not much access
Teachers are mean.                   Ignorant teachers
Not paid enough.                      Teachers don’t do anything


Teachers :
They come drunk
They are rapists
Get to class late or don’t come at all
Careless

Maria, Griselda’s &Ernie’s Masterpiece

Maria’s big question is :do I want to go straight to a university or not?

Many students say college is great to do after high school but then over the summer get lazy to enroll. Her mind is set on being a medical assistant

She can get to little as 8 to 9 months



Ernie’s big question is: why do I want to be an English teacher ?
He likes reading books
Inspired by Dr. Preston
Is going through the same troubles as him
At first he wanted to do medical field after his friend died but changed his mind
He has a personal journal where he is also writing a book.
He would want to go to CSU Sacramento


Griselda’s Masterpiece is on general surgery
She’s seen a knee & liver operation

Rafael’s Masterpiece

Rafael’s Masterpiece is on the most powerful countries in the world


Rafa said many people think the US has the most powerful military in the world but he disagreed.

US & Russia owe 95% worlds nuclear weapons.
Russia has the most powerful bomb in the world
The ‘ tsar bomb ‘
If it dropped in Santa Barbara then people in Santa Maria would get 3 degree burns

China
Made first satellite to be destroyed by middle

India
Army built the highest bridge in the world

France
Military spend almost 31.3 billion

Japan
Not allowed to have any offensive military forces

Turkey
Gained independence in 1923
Was founded in 1920

Germany
Not allowed to make nuclear weapons due to the two plus four treaty

UK
Cost 30 thousand euros to train a soldier
 So many great facts about the most powerful countries in the world. Safe or not safe to say there are other powerful countries.

Monica’s Masterpiece

Monica’s big Question was why are some classes mandatory in school?
Cons :                               Pros:
Schools boring.               Improve reading and writing skills
Teachers expect a lot       Get smarter
Too many hours


School is neutral to me if that makes sense. I don’t dislike it but I also don’t live school. I get tired like everyone else but I still do what I have to do. Monica said she loved history and I do too. Most students hate it because they have to write essays or it’s just boring for them but I like to write so I don’t mind.






Aliza’s Masterpiece

Aliza’s masterpiece was on, Why Finland’s education is better than the United States. They are ranked #1 in education. Here are some facts I learned:
• teachers are not underpaid & are much more respected
•they focus on what we need and don’t compete with each other
•free college
•tests only senior year
•more in consideration on students
•graduation rate is twice more than the US
   

I learned a lot about the education system in Finland. I would have to agree with Aliza because she made good points on how In the US we compete and don’t work together all the time. The schools education system needs to change.

Fahrenheit 451 Essay

                                          How did Clarisse impact Montags life?


          Throughout the book, Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse and Montag become really close friends. They meet up and on the way home they start catching up and she asks Monatg about his wife Mildred and his career.  As clarisse starts helping him to appreciate the little things he soon starts to realize that he doesn't care about anyone, not even his wife Mildred. He realizes that the world is filled with conceited people. Many people don't care about anyone or anything but themselves. Montag starts to learn the meaning of life and only focuses on himself. He does start wondering who cares about him but sees that no one does.

         The advice Clarisse gives Montag impacts his life.  She helps him realize the real world of how people do not really care about you or about each other basically. Montag doesn't even care about his wife. Clarisse helped him see the truth of people and how they really are and now he is focusing on himself. She tells him the truth.

For the reading of Fahrenheit 451 I’m on part 2 where Montag wants to steal books but Faber does not

Tuesday, May 1, 2018

Notes of what I thought about of the Essay:
• many people just skim through the books but don’t fully understand

• everything you do creates who you are

• taking books can affect them

• re-red

• deeper meaning in the book and in yourself

Synecdoche: author uses part of something as a symbol to stand for the whole thing

Synthesis : remixing the information from different sources

Reading is a relationship
