A recipe for literary devices:  1/4 of Allusion: a reference to something the author thinks you should know 1 cup of a Plot: the main events of a story 3/4 cups of Theme: a topic in which the story falls into  1/4 teaspoon of  Diction: the words the author uses 1/2 tablespoon of Syntax: how the author arranges his sentences A pinch of Indirect characterization:by using dialogue you can start to see what type of character it is Direct characterization: the author tells you about the character Static characterization: stays the same Dynamic characterization: changes throughout the book Symbolism: using a symbol to get something across Synecdoche: the swim team won agains pv ( the swim meet)

I I decided to make a comic kind of thing to not only showcase one thing

Cqrlos talked about bmx things which was interesting how he applied his passion so that all of us could relate Brian had things to say about religion and how it affects us all as a culture and about what it mean so to everyone finally Mari Carmen made a really good presentation about how bulling affects people and how family can mean so much more

Today was Daniel and my presentations and we both quincentennially talked about the same things although he talked about our solar system and how we survive on it all the different types of planets like terrestrial planets gas planets and ice planets at one point he also talked about moving to mars and my presentation was all about mars and global warming although at the end my link didn’t really work here it is you just have to add the gadgets and play around with it to see all kinds of things about maris like where all it’s volcanoes are at etc

my presentation is tomorrow and I feel like I’m going to try to do my best to make it have a lot of technology so that I can make it good expect a map of mars taking about mars and global warming and what will really happen if we ignore global warming and just move to another planet

churros presentation was yesterday but his was about playing the guitar and how he plans to make his guitar playing to the next level and seeing to create a band with his cousins for a startup and then go solo.

Alexis presentation was about friendship and was mainly about collaborating with others to become friends it was pretty cool

Today I had the opportunity to go to watch the hunchback of notre dame at the pcpa and it was so good I really enjoyed it and although it wasn’t my first play it’s the one that I remember the best because the other plays I watched were in elementary and I don’t really remember them but this one was really good . The set was built to perfection and it looked like the actual place although it resembled the Disney version more than the actual one . The play consisted of the same set just that switched around at times and many props that brought it all to life the logs and music made it more vivid although the seats were quite uncomfortable the play was still really good . At the end of the play the whole cast was on stage and they clapped for each one individually and they clapped for the villain who in my opinion also did a really good job and it was just such a good show .

     Proving yourself can be quite hard although not impossible, I’m life you always have to prove yourself no matter if you’re the best or the worst you have to prove what you are and oftentimes in school you have a harder time than proving yourself to other people because of the fact that what you prove what you know, your integrity and your values in school and sometimes it’s hard because many people don’t really care for school but do about other things and because they don’t have the proof from their academic achievements they’re brushed off . A way to prove yourself in Dr. Preston’s class is by simply posting which is easy yet hard because you have to really think about what you want to say which is often hard for me. Proving yourself should be hard because you’re making someone trust you that doesn’t know you .

I left off on the part where Beatty gets burned by Montag and Montag gets bitten by the robotic dog he burns it to death but still gets injected with something the dog had and he realizes that after he killed Beatty and everyone knows about his books and his wife leaving ttheirs no way he can go back to his old life .

After Montag comes home from Fabers house he’s so motivated to meat Beatty but after he comes home to his wives party he feels like he’s going to explode and does he turns off the parlor and triggers everyone but he takes out a book and reads them a poem and Mrs. Phelps cries and because the poem is go good but says it’s because it’s bad .

What happens after a year from earth  Since we’ve been talking about the future and people like Elon musk are thinking of inhabiting mars I found this pretty cool

Today since I’m a little behind on my history class I’m working on heaven which is a series of essays that are worth 200 points and due next week I have 3 done

Goes from bottom to top

I researched my dream career which is marine biology and I’ve always wanted to go to UCSB and when I found out they had a program for it I automatically searched it up but the acceptance rate is very very low so I’m worried I might not make because I did bad the first semester but I now have made it a goal of mine to get on track again and get into UCSB

This link is about Steinbeck responding to his son telling him he’s in love with s girl named Susan and he tells him that their are 2 kinds of love the one that’s selfish that you’re doing for your own person way of getting attention and the other is the one that’s almost pure then one where it takes the best out of you. I choose this link https://www.brainpickings.org/2012/01/12/john-steinbeck-on-love-1958/ because I wanted to see how their perspectives were and how they’ve changed over time and they really haven’t .

What interested me about this story is how something simple could easy ruin someone’s live . During the story a man and his friend are having a game night and he gets the money’s paw and his friend warns him about the powered of the monkeys paw and he wishes for money but he was warned that when given something something has to be taken away in return and his son dies but he gets a compensation for his death and they try to get him to come back but he comes back all messed up because of how he died . After reading it it reminded me of Aladdin but a more gruesome  version of it . I’d totally recommend this story because it has a shocking ending and those are my favorite kinds of stories.

What interested me about the story is how it still lives on today as like a Halloween story and although it came out in 1820 people still like to watch movies about it and read books etc . During the story a man named  Ichabod is trying to get one of the most wealthiest farmers daughter but theirs another guy named Brom who is also trying to get Kartina and always makes sure to scare off the other guys by fighting them but  Ichabod doesn’t want to fight him so Brom does the next big thing Jean know for to scare him off which is pranking him and  Ichabod has herd about the headless horseman and one night walking from a party Katrina’s family had he sees the horsemanship and he ride his horse faster but he can’t and ends up getting hit in the head and no one know why happens to him after . The plot is mystery because you don’t really know what happens at the end the author gives you some clues to think it’s Brom but you’re not really sure. After I finished the story it made me wonder wha

The story was interesting for me because it was a story about revenge and those stories always have a very big plot twist or a weird ending and I find them interesting. During the story theirs a party and  montressor leads fourtundao to the wine seller to let him taste some wine but ends up poisoning him and burying him there for insulting him . The theme of the story is revenge because that’s all montressor talks about how he’s going to get revenge on fourtunado . The story made me think about how with some people you have to be careful and make sure they know you’re kidding . I would recommend reading this short story just because it’s very thrilling and it’s interesting and funny in a sense .

It rained so hard yesterday with wind and I thought my house was going to blow away

Over break I also got sick like everyone and I know who got me sick and half the team my friend Rosalva. She went to practice while she was sick and sneezed everywhere

Over break I got a new dog she’s a husky named maya and she has a brown and blue eye she’s adorable and loves to hand out with Paloma my friend dog that resembles a cow

I had a waterpolo game this Wednesday vs nipomo and we won but I really kind of don’t like waterpolo I really like swim better so I feel like I don’t do as well in waterpolo but I do it to stay in shape for swim

over Break I finally got my braces off and I was so glad because I’ve had som many complications when it came to my braces and I had them for 2 bittersweet years it was all kind of worth it they still look kind of bad but not as bad
