Johnny got his gun Quiz???

I must not have been paying attention in class cause i don't know if we have a quiz on monday when we get back, does anyone?

Good Stuff

Well Im so glad we have friday off! Plus we don't have any homework those days! Lucky us! I'll finish my portfolio this weekend and be done with everything! Today's debate was funny today. I liked it.

...college english (:

Now that I am in College English and used to the way things run, I'm not so stressed anymore. It's still challenging, but well worth it.

I'm not liking this book Johnny Got His Gun, their is to much tragedy and pain, magnified in this book for me, but I can handle it.

ohhh, and goood job Andy, Brian and Dominac you guys did really good for not having much of a slide show. At first I was nervous about controversial issues but, I have faith in my group and I am sure we will do fine.

Johnny Got His Gun

Johnny Got His Gun so far is pretty interesting. I do find it sort of difficult to read when Joe goes back from his memory to reality. I thought we were supposed to read more so I am now on chapter 8 but am starting to realize more what is the reality and what is not. I think the assignment we had in class over what was imaginable and what was real helped me out a bit. I am finding it hard to take notes on this book because I don't really know what I am supposed to be looking for. In 1984 I knew when something stood out and I feel like this novel has so many things going on that it is hard to really decide what is important and what is not. I heard this book gets really good and so far I think it is interesting but hopefully it gets less confusing.

Also, I would like to add in that Andy's group did a good job today. :) I thought you guys did great especially since you didn't have all the information with you. It really showed that you guys knew the information well.

Johnny got his gun!!!!

We are only 5 chapters into the book but i thought that i'd post my thoughts about it. I feel that the book doesn't sugar coat what acctually happens in war. This results in a story that is very tragic and i feel that it is only going to get worst as it goes along

Controversial Issue!

So, my groups controversial issue is fast approaching (next week!) and I as starting to get nervous! I know that we will be prepared, but I hope the class participates in the discussion questions that we provide! Since our topic is on Abortion, I hope this creates a heated debate! Don't forget class to feel free to share your personal opinions.... please!!!!!!

Strive

Out of popular request (and the requirement), I'm going to post my free write on "Particular events"


Don't run through life, stop to smell the flowers.  Don't get credits, live the jokes in Calc. and games of dodgeball.  Remember the lyrics and message, not the singer or show.

As you die/pass on, you are left with your memoires, and if your memoires are achievments, not stories, then you did not have one life to live and wasted a life.  You will not be remebered, your life is of no significance when your dead and you've touched no one.

Embrace your journey to the end, don't abuse it.



I thought this free write turned out pretty well...well...well enough to post.
What do you guys think?  Is your life about the flowers or the path?
