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.

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

The Great Gatsby Notes
Effeminate: writing clothes, destructive
Supercilious: overly serious
Tom is talking down on Nick and Nick doesn't do anything- he's innocent
Daisy and Jordyn Baker are uncaring
Tom ignores his wife and cheats on him
He is racist, he is cheating
Displacement: not belonging on purpose
Daisy and Jordyn are careless
Daisy floats around and Tom is dangerous and intentionally

The Great Gatsby Essay Prompt #1
The last line of the book, " So we beat on, boats against the current, borne ceaselessly into the past ", is very important. This line to me represents what life is all about. The meaning.
Durning the ending of the book at this point, the author decides to end the book by writing down that quote. For a reason of course. The quote to me symbolizes how people are always stuck in the past for a reason and are trying to move on from there. There are struggles which might be like waves as you are swimming but the waves are always keeping you from doing so. You try to do one thing but the past or present is pulling you back, like it did with Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby is rich and mysterious that people are always talking about. He is trying to move away from his past, life, but something won't let him do so. In the book he faces many situations that he goes through. Basically I think the authors, Fitzgerald, quote means that no matter how hard life gets, the world doesn't stop, you move forward.
Gatsby does many things but no matter how much money and parties he makes, he won't join Daisys social group. Gatsby goes through tough moments but doesn't stop trying. I believe Fitzgerald wanted to say that life goes on so never stop doing something until you get there.
