Thoreau Film Critic
The movie Dead Poets Society is a will thought out movie. It is very important to give children, man, women people in general a different perspective of their surrounding and that is what Mr.K did in the students life. Civil disobedience was a recognizable them of the move that was demonstrated by the students and their relationship with adults. Over all it was a good move but I think the plot of the move should have been more broad including conflicts.

Rebellion
1 We as teenagers are conform to live as our parents, teachers, and every one who has more power tells us to. For the most part we don’t have any say in what does on in our life school activities and the pressure to achieve not only what we want but what what our parents want us to.
2 If I can I probably will rebel ageist all of the things I am forced to do. But in reality if I would I will not end up in the place I want to be in the future. Maybe all things that I am forced to do is for my own good I don't know. It would be nice to have and to be everything I want in the easy way but I don’t think it is possible.

Dead Poets Society and Thoreau
The one character that reminds me of the characters in the move is Mr. Kideing. He first was a teacher just as Thoreau wanted to be and most of the ideas such as the idea of individualism was important for both logical people. Second they shared a strange way of proving their points and their creative stile of communication gives their audience a different way of looking at the world.

Dose it Matter?
It does matter if the writer of the story is a girl or a guy because they have different way of looking at the world. like in the book 'Bean Trees' is a very feminine book because the witter was a girl but if the writer was a guy the book wouldn't be able to expand on the emotional and mental perspective of women.

Best Type of Education
One of the hardest things in life is teaching a lesson not just what the school Bord says to teach but something the students will remember for the rest of their lives. I wonder it teaching is some kind of code that is given to the cozen once to brake in to the minds of others. I definitely believe that teaching is a gift and if it is not it is a wast of time or the worst job you can ever have. The best kind of education would have to be the one where students are wanting to lean and teachers are willing to teach. All teachers have their own still of teaching and that is great as long as it is their gifting. teacher that teach just to teach shouldn't be hired because it makes the students lees interested to learn but because teacher can't say they won't teach kids who don't want to learn the education system can not be perfect. When there are more gifted teachers and less ignorant students school will be at its best in providing education.
Civil Disobedience
Civil Disobedience is simply having a different view of a situation and choosing to live according to your view no matter what others may do or say. Yes, I have tired many times to disobey civilly with my teachers and some of their ideas with the media and what it says to be true even with my parents and their approach of other people. most of the time my disobedience would get me in trouble with my parents. Civil Disobedience is a healthy factor in a society without it we will not have any possibilities or views but just one. So it is good for our society to have in order to become a safe and fair place for all.
Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau
* was born in 1817,
*Henry grew up very close to his older brother John, who taught school to pay for Henry's tuition at Harvard.
*He and his brother taught school for a while but in 1842, John cut himself while shaving and died of lockjaw in his brother's arms, an untimely death which traumatized the 25 year old Henry.
*At the age of 28 in 1845, wanting to write his first book, he went to Walden pond and built his cabin on land owned by Emerson.
*He found greater joy in his daily life than most people ever would.
*Thoreau died of tuberculosis in 1862, at the age of 44.
*He spent his life rethinking his, always asking questions, always looking to nature for greater intensity and meaning for his life.
*Over the years, Thoreau's reputation has been strong, although he is often cast into roles -- the hermit in the wilderness, the prophet of passive resistance
*So dear to Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King
*His work is so rich, and so full of the complex contradictions that he explored, that his readers keep reshaping his image to fit their own needs.
Emerson:
-Born in 1803 and died in 1882.
-Lectured in America about philosophy.
-Emerson loved Whitman's poetry.
-He also wrote many essays that made him famous.
-Also wrote many poems that made him famous.
-His book Nature, expressed how he thought that the imagination of man is shaped by nature.
-The book sparked a philosophical movement.
-One of the central characters in the transcendental movement.
-Resigned as a clergyman in 1832 to travel to Europe.
-Took over as editor of The Dial in 1842.

Fahrenheit 451 Podcast
1) I learned how to record and use sound effects that are on the Garageband.
2) What I learned about Fahrenheit 451 is the possible message for the 21st century that the future will reflect our deeds of today so we have to make good decisions now.
3) working with others takes patience and in our group we where harsh on each other because we wanted to be ready for the presentation.
Groups that presented on Thursday and Friday.
1) I liked the creativity of all the groups and what they Incorporated in their podcast to make it different.
2. The next time we do this assignment we should have more time to learn how to work on garageband.

Reflection
I really like our English class and I think I am learning a lot. Especially how to use technology more in mu school work. Our class can improve if the students where given the Chance to come up with questions and other prompts we can do our weekly blog on. I think I an doing good in the class but I can do butter if I start to study the vocab work shits and read more books to improve both by reading and spelling abilities. Other than that I really enjoy the class.
Creative Commons
1) A good technique to use when interviewing a gist is to make sure that all the questions and answers are clear to understand and if not they should be rerecorded before other sound affects and music is put on.
2) Many songs are not owned by by the artists who wrote them but of course, but by large corporations.
3) An artist can choose one of the several licenses:-
*Noncommercial- you let others use your work for noncommercial purposes
*Attribution- you let others use your work if they give you credit.
*No Derivative Works-you let other use your work without changing it in any way.
*share Alike-you let other use your work under a license identical to the one of your work.

Interview with Bradbury
After reading Bradbury's interview I realized that some witters have their own way of looking at the world and expressing it. And Bradbury's as it was shown in the book has a criticism view of what he thinks should be improved, He is very creative with words because he pays attention to his surroundings.I think Bradbury is very wise for wanting to know more about himself and others.

Podcast
Zero Gravity
1) The pod cast was called zero gravity. It talked about an airplane that makes the
passengers fill like they are in zero gravity. Their where tow people discussing
about the airplane and one of them had whet on the ride.
2) This podcast didn't have any music but the other podcast I heard started with a
them music.
3) All the podcast I heard to had a gust they interviewed and it wasn't just one person speaking. I think they did that to create different views and to introduce the people that are involve in the topics they discus about.

Scientific Fiction
* Gravity:- what goes up must come down.
-keeps the planets orbiting the sun.
-Moon orbiting the earth.
-Creating Tides
-for convection
-the theoretical force responsible for the apparent attraction between a
mass and the Earth.
* This story is about an 8 year old girl in Ethiopia that went 5 years in the future in her own life. She discovers that her family had moved to United States and her sister and her are all grown up. She happen to get there on a very dramatic day of her future life and that was when her father was trying to kill himself. After trying different techniques her father decided it would be easier if would just jump out of the third floor apartment they lived in. In the present, She was standing there calling him to join the family for denier and in her mine-self was watching both her old self and her suicidal father. Who is to blame? How long dose she have to save him? Who's fault is this?

Movie or Book?
I didn't have the chance to finish reading Fahrenheit-451, but if I did I think I would like it better than the move. The move was OK. But the book has a better description and comparison of conflicts to explain a situation than the movie. Books unlike movies have to have their own attractions so every book is written in a different way. I wish I liked to read book more than I do now.

The Rode to Greatness
In my opinion stares represent steps each leading up to the other and the quite "All rising to great place is by a winding stair." is saying that this steps of success have a turn in some point. Basically in life there is no direction that will take you from A to B. It is unexpected and you have to be willing to turn and bend otherwise you will brake. Don't be a perfectionist and if you are make sure you know that you can't and all you can do is try. Take life as it comes at you and don't do to much planing because you probably won't do half the stuff you plan. Make your views wide to be able to see in all sides and don't be narrow headed.
Utopia or Dystopia
The Future is not predictable because it depends on our choices today. From what I can tell internationally our quality of life is not going as will as it should so to get to where we are suppose to be we need to make smart decision. To me all this is just a number. I mean what is the power of money its just a pace of paper anyway but what should matter the most is the way of thinking and understanding things around us this I believe in the future will grow even more. So the way I see it If we want a better life we should get past all this numbers and status and start to out smart them by using common sense then our future will be bright.

Bradbury's style/A day in Teenager's Life
It is a battle with time crushing you to the ground with it's fearful outcomes. What you sow is what you rape in this chapter of the book we call life. This mooring the sun is not on my side standing with the blinding beams of its rays. I started the day with my usual pop tarts and milk. Once I got in the car and ageist the front mirror suddenly today was mysterious never have I known it before. I Carry on my back the supplies I need the heaviest of all was a list of dos and don'ts fencing me taking over my smile purifying it making it real, from my guts.
