Freshman Year Ever since I was little I struggled with reading and writing, and was always behind everyone else. I still am always a little behind but that doesn’t mean I never learn. This year never let me take a break from writing. We always had an assignment to help us work on our writing and reading skills. For my Fahrenheit 451 project I interviewed a firefighter and used his answers to compare thoughts from the book. The process to the project helped me look at different perspectives in a story. We read another book like this at the end of our year To Kill a Mockingbird. This book showed even more contrast in opinions than Fahrenheit 451. And i got to talk about that in my journal entries. If you compare my assignments from …show more content…

The opportunities were simplifly doing your homework and reading assignments. In theses short two semesters we read three books. Each book has its own challenges. I am not a big reading and I probably wouldn't choose these books to read for fun. Fahrenheit 451 was a book that was a little confusing but had a meaningful plot making it enjoyable. Romeo and Juliet is a very old and famous book that I was excited to read, so I could know the tragic story of the couple. Finally the last book we read was To Kill a Mockingbird. This book is a very well known book as well that talks about problems that still occur today, like rape and racism. What I took away from reading all of these books is to look at the message in the book and being able to practice reading with these books made me understand that you might need to reread a certain part, or chapter to completely consume all of the …show more content…

In the first semester I had good GPA but I knew I could make it a lot better. So after winter break I tried my best to not have late work, take retakes, and take extra credit opportunities. I had a goal to get a GPA of 3.7 and I am happy to say I passed that goal, I am at a 4.0 right now. I did try a lot more when I had a goal and realized what that doing the little thing can help a lot. Something I could have done a little better it take retake when I had the chance. I did take some in Spanish but I barely retook anything in Science, and that is the class I needed too. Another problem was I always procrastinate making it hard to get work done right away. This is a major setback because I do a lot of sports making me very busy after school with minimal time to do homework. For sophomore year I need to work on not being

You must understand the importance of what books do, so you appreciate and experience what they offer. In Fahrenheit 451, people in the society can’t comprehend what books actual purpose is. When Montag first realizes the significance of books, he has to rethink everything: “There must be something in books, something we can’t imagine, to make a women stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing”(Bradbury 48). Almost all the people in the society don’t even think twice about someone dying like that.

Thesis: In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury conveys the message that there are many extreme changes and consequences in society once literature is abandoned; instead of gaining knowledge, other elements of media and technology are mindlessly absorbed, resulting in weak relationships, loss of intellectuality in society, and the absence of emotional challenges amongst people. In Guy’s society, relationships are distant and meaningless as a result of extreme media use. After Guy and Mildred realize they do not remember where they met, Guy makes a realization about their relationship: “He remembered thinking that if she died, he was certain he wouldn’t cry” (Bradbury 41).

Talia Delperdang Mrs. Sedgwick Reader’s Response Timed Writing 1 February 2023 Fahrenheit 451 in our Current Society Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, shows readers an exaggerated future that seems unrealistic, however, there are many aspects in this novel that accurately represent our current society, or how it could look in the following years. Some of the main ways these ideas are expressed are through technology, social structure and norms, and censorship.

At the beginning of the school year math was the most challenging thing ever. With a little help from my teachers ‍I started to understand it more although it still isn't a walk in the park it's starting to become easier. At the start of school reading was so exciting I was thrilled to start a new book, but as the year went on reading just wasn't as interesting as it used to be, and it still isn't. Is is hard for me to find a good book to read. Reading just isn't my cup of tea.

First of all, I thank you for your time and effort you put into making this project. I also would like to thank you for allowing students to choose their book. By choosing the book I was most interested in, I was able to enjoy my project more and become more intrigued. The book I chose to read for my Summer Reading Project was Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose. I enjoyed researching and analyzing this book.

Fahrenheit 451 is a wonderful book, but it is also terrifying because it is so relevant to the life we live today. The story makes you realize that the actions we take today are the cause of what is to come. Specifically, Ray Bradbury uses his characters to significantly display that the book is set in a time after ours. A time that is overprotective of their community. The government doesn’t allow people to have any sort of books, because of all the bad crimes and misfortunes that are written within.

Throughout this course, we have been studying the various books of The Holy Bible that apply to our daily lives as researchers. Some of these books included Proverbs, Job, Ephesians, and Philippians. It is important that we use our faith in God’s word to help guide us in all that we do each day including working as a researcher. These books help us understand that if we give our faith and trust in God that he will continue to guide us in the right directions as researchers by being honest, avoid basis practices, and having compassion and understanding for participants.

It was able to show me that when you aren’t forced to do something, you’ll actually want to do it on your own time. This year really opened that view up for me. I never would’ve thought that I could’ve read 8 books in a school year! I’ve never read that much in probably the past 2 years. Which is very sad to think of.

Now i'm very good at math and received a lot of awards for it. Learning how to read was problem for me because I wasn't a person who liked to read. I had a fixed mindset. I said I will not learn reading and guess what didn't. When i was in 4rth grade a teacher called on me to read I stumbled on a lot of words.

One of my biggest obstacles through it was managing my grades especially since I was taking many AP courses. The classes were held to a higher standard and was more of a rigorous course in comparison to my old school’s APs. While trying catching up to the school’s curriculum, I often found myself cheerless and not my old self. I was often down because I wasn’t used to the grades I was making. I went from making straight As to making grades that I haven’t even made in my entire

I liked that there was no busy work that has nothing to do with the research paper. All assignments had meaning and were useful. Without even knowing it or stressing about it too much, I had almost a whole paper typed out in front of me when the outline was due. Of course with every class there are struggles throughout the semester and I sure faced them.
