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.

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

-the theoretical force responsible for the apparent attraction between a
mass and the Earth.

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.
