blog title.

sooooo i finally got that email stariha sent me to be apart of this blog.. i dont understand why this thing doesnt like my email account, or what cause this happened last year too. but oh well,
and now on to other things like yesterdays blog that was required? with this whole history deal.. there was a quote in 1984 that i really liked;

"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls that past."

to me this pretty much states it all, the ones who are at a high position, such as the president that truly knows the facts on mostly everything that goes on in America has the control on whether or not us Americans will ever know about it..and if we are granted the right to know about it then how much of it were being told is true and what are they choosing not to tell us? i believe such a power should not be granted unto one person but like emily said in class yesterday, we the people dont exactly stand up to "the man" because we either dont care, were intimedated or in all honesty because we believe that our government is being honest with us and would lie to us. how can our government expect us to do the right things all the time, when they arent exactly doing the same in return?

Ideas for Portfolio

I really want to do a scrapbook for my senior portfolio but I'm thinking a lot of other people are going to do them too? I just want mine to be a little more original. Does anyone know any other ideas besides scrapbooks and PowerPoint?

Questioning History

Thinking about the idea that history might not be history at all, but instead stories made up by people over time is confusing and hard to comprehend. I'm glad that our history has been fairly well documented because if I sat up at night wondering whether or not men like Abraham Lincoln actually were kind and honest, always having the best interest of others in mind actually existed, life would become extremely complicated.

Going over the portfolio outline today was fun, I'm excited to get started! I just don't know if I'm going to do a scrapbook or powerpoint... did she ever say which one she prefers?

2011 - 27 years

I'm liking the start of 1984.  Compared to other books I've read (Dracula and The Stand) the plots moving along quite quickly.  For some reason, this book reminds me a bit of Fahrenheit 451 and The Giver.  It better not have a sucky ending like the giver did...

I know 3rd Post in a Row I'm Lame

But I would like to say I absoutley love 1984! I don't know what everyone is talking about a slow beginning I don't see it or don't mind I guess, because so far its just a good book that I would most likley read even if it wasn't assigned to me!!! :) makes reading so much more enjoyable when the book is written in normal english!!!!!
