Can i picture myself in this book? why ,why not

As a independent individual I can Picture myself in a lot of positive envornments in the future weither if it’s  law school, mortitian parctice, or even having a house on the hill with a loving family. But as to viewing myself playing a role in the novel of mice in men is at a blur,  I couldn’t see myself prominently reading this book, getting this book read and completed was truly warfare for me it didn’t catch my intrest and It didn’t fit into my lifestyle, candidly because I have far more expectations and potential to be in this book my  personality stands out , I am an non violent individual , and my lifestyle isn’t always at the norm.

 

 

One strong way I couldn’t find myself in this book is because the lack of humor curly performed and more so in my perspective Lennie, he was about nature and animals and soft material George and Lennie performed relations as if they where cat and dog. Me personally prefer distance relationships with others not much of a peoples person at all.   Indefinatly couldn’t find myself in a farm like atmosphere.  Don’t get me wrong or confuse my agenda if I was to do a skit of mice and men I could pull it off but actually in the book wouldn’t at all cacth the center of my eye also known as a pupil.

 

 

Violence is my next point, of mice of men was at fate to violent acts the mascot of many scenes would be a gun. This one gun did so much in so little time accidents or not for example Lennie killed and innocent dog and another by an accident by just petting it to roughly. Featuring scenes frigid at heart George killed Lennie after all they been through trust must be at a limit with any and everyone. With further or due Lennie  murderd  Curly’s wife with a gun also. I couldn’t view myself in any of these scenes it’s not my lifestyle and I have better things to do at my acess than to be apart of a violence riot.

 

 

 

Last but not least my own reasons I couldn’t play a role in this book and or movie because simply I just wouldn’t fit in at all. Maybe I’m a bit conceited or ungreatful to be in a back in the day act with all said and done im jus not fit to the test of being apart of mice and men the title didn’t even intrest me It was a battle with myself to look pass my flaws and more so at my intuations to get what I have to get done.  Boring isn’t what im looking for.

 

Looking at myself and how I live and survive day to day I’m far from George and Lennie and their experiences we are complete opposite in everything done. Especially personality our indenities are’nt even close.

What is a main symbol of violence in this book?

mostly black and made of stell hot bullets but cool smoke arising the air signatured smith and wesson symbolized as a gun. many scenes of mice and men reminds me of the gun violence in my area of town, like that time when George and Lennie or when that innocent dog was shot and killed guns been a factor that effects us all in a way weither if its used during hunting or just raw cold hearted violence.

Lennie keep rubbing on soft things but why?

BETWEEN THE LINE.


Lennie has issues......an identified chronic problem with Lennie is his attractive eye with soft material things and one scene he was caught rubbing on curly wife's hair and in another he acrimoniously killed and abused a dog by induring his soft fur by all means accidental. not to mention the reason for leaving the first town was because of his prominent urge to massage a woman's skirt. ....10pts.

Pros vs. Cons C.H.S

Like any other learning institution Constitution high school will have its reflection of darkness as well as sunlight. But in partnership as a community and a school it’s up to them to make things better. So the essential but prominent question is what is C.H.S strength and weaknesses? And how can the body of the school make them more and less relevant. After talking to many pupils and staff members of C.H.S the state of mind is at blank, but urgent to know more. Popular since 2007 Tevora Johnson shared her issues and she complained “ Constitution High School is good for my future but not my entertainment more boys and less demerits.” but here to compare Mr. Carpenter stated” his job is more exciting everyday he learns more from his students than his lesson plans.”


One conspicuous topic of negativity floating around through the shallow halls of C.H.S was the merit and demerit system. It is often described in a arrogant manor with hatred to upset your stomach.” ugh! I hate the demerit and merit system it’s irrelevant.,” says one of the sophomores Ishmael Johnson. “to know the system is to hate the system.” says Dyneisha Dyson. est. 2008 the demirit system was created into the daily ciriculam of Con. High it changed the school as a whole but for the better or worst? To 85% of the staff board it’s to keep students in a more constructive way of behaving. but 90% of piers and pupils totally disagree. in a way the school community can over come the demirit and merit system. C.H.S is known for having a powerful government group that created the uniform policy and the lunch bill. is one was to come together and one body they could do it if they put their mind to it.


Positivity comes in the picture also. “Constitution High School offers a lot with the 90min. classes and history/law courses.” said Shaquille Davenport. Miss dagistino actually have a minor problem with the time period on her case ..” even though our school is college prepatory I think 90mins. is to long for students to sit in one place.” also Con high has freedom unlike most public and porokial schools, they have a lunch bill, uniform rights, trips, etc.  so there's a side and a opinon to everything. disliked, empyrean or envied it's still something to  face as you walk the shallow hallways of Constitution high school wither good or bad, pros or cons its issues to put up with. 



but the majority of the interviews that where surveyed positivity of constitution high school took the lead.

- - - . . . - - - Moise code S.O.S can be expressed in many ways a call for help, urgent emergencias, A.S.A.P. Let’s examine our novalist Amiri Baraka and his personal connection for help S.O.S. The title jumps out to me like an moving animation as a reaction I had to take interest. Historical connections from this poem is so real all of my senses attend to alert. Opening my eyes to see the light Amiri Baraka meant so much but said so little. And highly recognition of conjecture is deeply identified. The fright of her engaging but silent voice was so intense it left me in tears. Save Our Souls “calling all man women and child come in.”


I can touch her soul as she cries out, I can feel her pain, and I can see people conjugating as one, I can hear her voice cry, and I can taste the bitterness of her suffering. And to wipe away all sorrow I pay close attention to her request and even more to her commands. This poem was made for the recursion of her culture and to complete the end to their change. A call for help S.O.S she is counting on us. Us as a family, community, and most importantly as one.” Where ever you are come in.”



The setting to me seems as if she’s right in the middle of the violent North Philly streets. Speaking to all statistics, drug dealers, drop out, gang wars.etc. calling them in. At the same time frame recognizing her culture and expect more. No racism occurred. The author of this poem is highly in depth with her topic im positive it will draw. Any reader in. In a way I Want to stand next to her but do I see myself in the crowd, which she speaks out to? In a way yes in her call S.O.S in my perspective she’s also talking to me and everyone in my surroundings. Not statistically but and another way that does but don’t make any sense.She expects more and know her people for who they are and what they are capable of doing without knowing the personally. She knows her African American culture can do better and can achieve anything the can put their mind to. Young dropouts is not the way, gang wars is not the way, being a drug dealer is not the way.” where ever you are come in.”



Stoicismly putting me in deep thought, I need to get my life together and get it done quickly. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Sorrow, Pain, Suffering, ends here and now. Reunite as one, stand as one, walk as one, and talk as one. Inexplicably I am with her as she explains this. I was with her since day one without even knowing her as a person only as a writer. And to acknowledge that I take heed to what she is point out the disadvantages of her culture. I will try and strive to treat others as I would want to be treated. I will ignore all negativity and think only of the postivie.To mean so much but say so little, I understood everything this poem speaks about. I can relate to every line and word. I can understand it’s so real that it’s unreal this was a poem I could actually relate to.


To call for help directing to a society so big and so arrogant is so hard but worth every time put into it.S.O.S by Amiri Baraka.a call for help disadvantages recognized You can call for help in many ways even 911 would help but in this case it’s totally different a whole new ballgame. Just the author and her people face to face lets solve all of our problems and issues together. We are not alone we are one somebody please save our souls S.O.S. In God we trust please save our souls .

N.H.D reflection 2009

This year i worked with Tevora Johnson and Ishmael Johnson. we did an exhibit of Walter E. Disney. of actions and legacies. it included 30 annotations a refelction paper and TEAM WORK. we worked hard to recieve our goal. Walter Disney was legend of our time he achieved so much and so little time, he was the first annimator to make a movie with sound. He achieved over 30awards and he didnt even finish high school. he was brought up on a farm with his older brother Roy and his younger sister. This man was a Film producer, screen writer,voice actor an animator and much more. he influced history in many ways that others couldn't to him it wasn't about the money it was about people coming together and having fun with one another.



MY PROBLEMS.
I didn't recieve alot of problems this year except for one big one STRESS. sometimes our pictures wouldn't print because of paper jams. or just the rush of the whole NHD. i would get frustrated fast if glue spilled or if i was out of words to say on our reflection paper it was hard and i understood the fact that it was 65% of our grade. so it had to be good but not a rush at the same time so that brought on stress. but in the end we conducted a wonderful project that i can honestly say was great even though we didn't go to the round i liked and is satisfied with my project and what i have learned . i learned so much in so little time that i didn't know about him and now im stronger and wiser physically and mentally WALT DISNEY made me better as a whole.



THINGS I WOULD'VE DID DIFFERENT.
i wouldv'e put more heart into it instead of just looking at it as it was just a project because i think it would've been better if we put more passion into it. last year i did an documentary and this year i did exhibit i think exhibit is easier and harder in the same way. i think a Walt Disney presentation should be given in a documentary. it expresses him more than a paper or exhibit can. but in the end i loved it and its a project i can truly apresiate

INDEPENDENT HOURS

what have i learned about myself through this experiment? that i have alot of more patience then i thought and im careing.

• Describe three moments of failure, success, indecision, doubt, humor, frustration, happiness, sadness? frankie's fight was a absolute sucess in the end at first i couldn't find the place and frustration was building but at the end we found it and i got there in time. ........the interviews i've done for the incoming 9th grade. was happiness i enjoyed touring them around the building and answering thier questions.

• How will service learning change your future behaviors/attitudes/and career? i will have more symothy for kids with cancer and i will donate to them more. hospitals, institutes....etc.

reflection of n.h.d

N H D. it was a very long process! it was a learning experience that i appreciate. it was heckted everyone was running around! trying to get papers printed from certain rooms it was people in the hallway practicing their performance. with boards all over the floor and the strong smell of glue as people did exhibits. loud music in the imc as people replayed their documentaries for the last time. carts moved from room to room trying to do voice overs with no noise at all. my National History Day project was an sucess! my topic was welfare rights. i did an documentary my team members was cornelius talley and shaniya pryer it was tuff but we made it through. and im glad i can proudly say im positive that im reciving an A or B on this project. i've learned a lot in this experience. but next year i must say i think i might do an exhibit it looked more managable and less stressful. ....any way back to my project in my documentary contained 2interviews one of a homeless man and another was a man that worked at a welfare reform office. the reason why i picked welfare rights it because our school topic was Conflict and Compromise. and ealier in the year i did a project in welfare and i aced it so i asked myself like why not do it again. i learned how to manage my attitude when i was frustrated. my challenges was voice overs because we was having fun at the same time i kept laughing!!! i must admit this was the biggest project i've done in my life. doing it the second time i would say yes! i like reaching for the stars it's not only about finding the easy way out not all the time!..{lol}........miss Shani miyette Hayes

what should my grade be in this subject?

Well last report marking i did well i had an A but this marking period i think i should get a B . i honestly didnt work as hard as i did 1st. period i think i could;ve did better but i dont kknkow what i happen see i cant blame my other subs and projects i had such as NHD i can only blame myself. and nobody else or anything else but english sometimes i may be lazy but eventually i get my work done. but really the only think i slacked on is my blogger and how to write things in essay form instead of a direct answer. but besides that i think {personally} that i shouldnt get a failing grade at all. i made up my work that i missed or didnt do correct and i honelsty care about my grade because if i didnt i wuldnt be using my time for this i would be playing around.


But look on your point of view what do u think i should get? how do u think my work effort is in your class? do i talk alot?{duhh!} do i do my work? do you have to push me to do my things? but in the end i still do my work and get the job done dont i? so what do u think SHANI MIYETTE HAYES should get in your class? its not up to me its really up to you. this is your decision. does shani deserve to pass or fail????? this is your questions that you have to answer its not up to me at all. if i was you know i wouldve made me an A+....lol{but naw im serious}


So your decision is your decision i have to let you decide . what you want my grade to be. but i know thats not a failing grade because i know what i deserve not what im going to get. so this is in your hands. this semester i had so far in english i must admit was long! and sometime tiredsing but i must say it was worth the expereince some days i wanted to cut some days i wanted to act llike im sick but i didnt i just came in and did what i had to do to get it over with. some days i been a clock watcher every 2min. i glance at the clock but all is well

should there be an age for a child to have a lover?{cons. topic}

in my opion i say no because love is a strong word it can happen at anytime anyplace and soceity nor government can change that. people are going to love whoever they want to love no matter who says different.{we have that right as a citizen of america}. age, size, color, race. it's not really an issue when it comes to love. even though it's a rule that no more than 4years can someone be in a relationship but many of people don't abide by that rule at all. rules and regulations that the gov. makes isn' faithfully followed people are going to live thier life no matter what you say i say or the laws say. love is an option not a priorty to all people. and to take that right away from some one is un-exceptable. society does what he/she feels like just like gun law! no body care about the rules any more so why publish it? for what? its not going to be obeyed its like i dont even exists



Now and days girls are getting pregant/ haveing babies starting at the age of nine years old. HIV{aids} , STD'S ...etc. if all formed by sexually active people and most ppl. do this with the ppl. they think that they love{or whatever} the genaratioins now with sex active diases is with most percent is woman and african american. but if you think about it love leads to sex and that leads to pregnancy. and that can lead to high school drop outs . so its like steps it go higher and higher each thing lead to another until the big boom happen and everything is over for these young people. and the young people is our future and if we loose our future we have no future at all. so what are we going to do?


so maybe we should have an age limit for lovers beacuase its breaking the young people down its to many young black females thats pregnant at very young ages . very young! so should we ? make a law concerning an childs age for a lover. but maybe not like i said before teens these days are out of control and if we did make this a law it wouldn't work its now 2008 nobody cares what the cops, gov....etc. mayor has to say its all about them if they want love at the age of 10 i bet they will get it so to answer the topic question no.

should huck. finn. be taught in chs?

i think no and yes! {double answer} why this? its because no because it has horrible grammer its fiction now and days in this generatioin we need to know the truth and the truth only. thats how our heads get capped up. it's long and boring it will loose our interest very quickly with no problem at all. and no effense but we black and black people don't read not at all. unless it's a magazine. besides that for the good no we are not reading unless you really really force us did you know that malcolm x qouted in a speech saying if you want to hide something from black people put it in a book. and that's oh so true! but in high school there is reports and books involved in our cirriculam. that we may have to read but a book llike huck. finn its out of the question it's soooo long and boring and dead.


If you going to give us something to read let it be exciting! laughable violence the streets we live in/on today not anything dumb and senseless it's bad enough we dont read now so if you trying to persue us in reading dont let it be boring i mean wow! at least put something good and an intrest in our face not nothing dumb! like but it was an good long experience after all. i enjoyed the movie more than the book . the movie caught my attention at least for a good minute {not actually and minute...but u know} but that book gots to go! its like for old people thats into slavery days not young teens thats looking for a sucessful future


And yes! because some people are interested in this.{they must be wierd..lol} but all shakesphare fans may love it but i must admit i like the conflict and conclusion! its was good the movie i would have no prob. watching again but my o my that book oh no!!!

shani hayes expository essay

The ending of the story thank you mam was sad and happy to my opion because he never got a chance to say thank you to miss jones but on the other hand it ended happily because he learned a valueable lesson and in the end he still got what he wanted after all the head ache with miss jones. it was a very double sided ending, to the story but it was enjoyable.


I liked this ending because it was interrest you didn't know what to expect next! i was an fun experience and a pleasure to wirte and essay on it was like an action thing you didn't know what to expect i happend when it happend.

INTERNTET SINSERSHIP!

security is good even though i really dont like it i have to say that its fair myspace is more out alot of peole hav myspace's little kids to old people facebook is something new everyone isn't exposed to facebook but myspace is out there and very very popular and it has a record behind it a girl ent to a myspace party and got raped it was on the news and everything. to my opinon it both should be blocked but facebook isn't really out et so that's cool but myspace should be home thing anyway so if something happend to a student and if he/she was talking to the predator on school land grounds [computers] the school would be in this situation
