Learning Journal: Unit 3 We got to really work on developing some html this week. Using codeacademy.com we got to have some experience implementing many of the basics of a web site and handling links, adding media, and altering various styles. I inadvertently started taking one of the other courses on the site and learned a little bit about CSS which it looks like we’ll be covering more next week. For our discussion post we went over some ideas regarding social media, but I would have liked to have gotten a little more info about incorporating it into web design. • Describe any feedback you received or any specific interactions you had.
Of the films viewed in the second half, the one that impacted me the most is Eve’s Bayou it is a 1997 American drama film written and directed by a female named Kasi Lemmons. The story is told through the eyes of an older; Eve Batiste (Jurnee Smollett) as she reflects on her life, the film then starts off with a ten-year-old girl Eve who lives in a prosperous African American community in Louisiana. One night, the Batistes hold a party, and Eve, her older sister Cisely (Meagan Good), and their mother Roz (Lynn Whitfield) and her husband, the father of the other two girls and the local doctor; Louis (Samuel L. Jackson) seems to be having a lot of more fun dancing with Matty Mereaux (Lisa Nicole Carson).
In “Looking in at Night,” Mary Kinzie composes a villanelle with palpable tension, playing with the push-pull of a set rhyming structure and a loose, forgiving metrical line. The balance between the formal and the figurative allows the speaker’s anxieties about death to both expand and contract, ending in a final quatrain that suggests resolution and acceptance. Written in a regular ABA rhyme scheme, the first five tercets explore the speaker as she or he hints that “Night,” while personified, may suggest a person to whom the speaker is close (a mother? daughter? the aging self?
A book that I recently read that showed a reflection of my self-understanding was Missoula by Jon Krakauer because it extended my perspective on women’s safety on college campuses. The book Missoula shares stories of five women who were sexually assaulted at the University of Montana, Missoula and follows their cases all the way to trial. As a girl who has always been told that a college education is necessary to succeed in life, the idea that colleges arent safe for me felt like a secret that I wasnt allowed to know until I experienced it for myself. Reading the statistics and seeing how all of the rapists walked away unpunished strengthened my understanding of the fact that sexual assault is a normal occurance on college campuses.

National Junior Honors Society Essay By: Megan Pacchioli I am very excited by the opportunity to represent my school as a member of the National Junior Honors Society. Both in and out of school I support the Five Pillars of the NJHS, which are scholarship, service, citizenship, character, and leadership. I represent these five pillars by my grades and academic achievements in school, my dedication to my church, my dojo, and my soccer team. As well as taking part in my communities activities, being a responsible person, and manifesting my leadership on the court/field out of school.
When I attended Palmetto Boys State in June of 2017, there was one thing that I was told repeatedly since the first day: “You get out what you put in.” Before I attended, I roughly knew that Boys State was a government simulation program, and I was interested yet still unsure about the program. While it is a government simulation program, Boys State at its core teaches more than government and law. When I decided to follow the advice I was given and put in as much as I could, the week turned out to be one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Santee City, the city I had been placed in, did not have a great start to the week.
I found it very encouraging, that there are still people who want to devote their lives to help immigrant students. The attitudes of the counselors’ are amazing and their willingness to fight for students’ future very motivating. They also act like students’ true parents, always ready to support, help handle all kinds of problems and life challenges and cheer on them, even when they stop believing in themselves. It saddens me that there are so many kids who are left without family and have to deal with life on their own, and also sometimes take care of their siblings like Yasmeen. But on the other hand, as I mentioned, I am glad there are many empathetic people happy and willing to help.
So I think you are either ignoring me or sleeping. but I don’t know I’m this stubborn dude who just never goes away. I’m very annoying I know that. Sorry about that. So umm anyways I wanted to massage you and apologize to you.
Out of the three novels we read for the Modern Fiction class, the one I favoured most is Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. At first I thought I would hate it, because it indeed has a very unattractive appearance, and the subject did not interested me either. When I started to read, it was still somewhat boring. However, with my experience with every other book I’ve ever read, I was aware most novels have a boring and uncompelling beginnings, and pushed myself to leave those parts behind. As I read, it became compelling, and the light air with which Marlow told his story started to make me love the narration.
Monuments Men is a fairly recent film with the premise of a group of soldiers during World War II tasked with protecting the artwork within the continental Europe from those who want to take it. It primarily centers on the story of Frank Stokes, played by George Clooney, and how he is able to assemble a ragtag group of “soldiers” and actually enter the frontlines. Over the course of the story, the group loses a few members, but do manage to discover the stashes of art hidden by Hitler and save it from destruction, including the Ghent Altarpiece and the Lady Madonna. Despite having already watched this movie, is still struck me how much the movie’s message still resonated with me. The movie makes a clear case for the value of art, and I feel
synapses: The movie Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks) tells a story of a simple man and his journey through life. Forrest Gump’s story takes place during a time of historical significance in our country, The United States of America. His story begins in the 1950’s, and runs through the 1970’s. This was a period in our country where morality, and equality had come to be questioned for the first time since our country broke away from its European roots and won its independence on July 04, 1776.
