- She did her essay but no proof...


2)  Beka got Spinxed  by Kathryn ! Beka wrote a four paragraph essay. Her introduction was not very appealing to me. Her points should have been stronger, since she got to write more of a full on essay, should of put more time into it. I found it interesting to read, all in all, just needed to be a bit stronger.

Brave New World    
Notes  Foreword / Ch 1

- in simple words: SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THE WORLD'S EDUCATORS. SI MONUMENTUM REQUIRIS CIRCUMSPICE. 
- book about the future
- novel contains no reference to nuclear apparent.
- advancement of science as it affects the human individuals
- people who govern Brave New World aim for social stability
- "the problem of happiness" - in other words, he problem of making people love their servitude.
- a long way from bottled  babies and Bokanovsky groups of semi-morons.

- world states motto Community, Identity, Stability
-  Director giving a tour of the Fertilizing Room to the very young students (boys)
- Year of stability, A.F 632,
- Alphas/ Betas remained until bottled, when the Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons are brought out, and they undergo Bokanovsky's process
- Bokanovsky's process, bokanovsky egg will bud, will proliferate, will divided from eight to ninety-six buds. Every bud equals one person.
- Podsnap's Technique, to immensely accerlerate the process of ripening.
- Multiplying embryos from one egg into thousands
- Epsilons embryo must have an Epsilons environment as well as an Epsilons heredity
-  Epsilons don't need human intelligence
- condition the embryo's to how they want to to act when they grow up, example, "heat conditioning," condition the embryo's to prefer the heat than the cold. In order to want to live in tropical weather compared to the pole's. 
- the conditioning of the intellectual embryo's (Alphas)

My response after reading the foreword and chapter 1, well it's very sciencey , which makes it very interesting to read. I find it sad how they're playing with human nature, especially in the births of babies, and they're "conditioning." But I can't wait to keep reading. This novel is full of information and I'm ready to analyze the buzz out of it. I most definitely recommend this novel to EVERYONE!

First Quarter Review...

a) I would say that this semester I am not as motivated to enter my blog posts on time. I choose to do another homework and I usually push this class homework till the next day. And I end up procrastinating. Even though I am not as on time as last semester, I still managed to get all the post needed for my blog. All the work is on there, just a few days late then the assigned date. My senior project is coming along, mostly just doing research right now until I further my planning with the project.
b)  Post assignments on time
read all the reading assignments
study more
c) the course progress is okay with me and I feel that there is no need for change or alterations.

i am here..

The first grading period of second semester is finally here. My goals have been slowly coming along very well. For the classes that needed improvement from last semester. As of English... my blog posting as been a bit slower this grading period and I can only blame myself. I am still working on it. I have a feeling that my mojo is kind of slipping. I just need that mojo to come back because the big goal for me right now wold have to be the AP Exam. I need to study study study! Cause in the end it will benefit me.
As of  my senior project, it is coming along. Already have an idea and have begun some research. I am still reading more to get a ore understanding of exactly how I want to come across it and present it to my class.
