HW 53 - Survey Analysis

When i was taking the survey it made me think, the questions that they were asking were personal i could ov lied or i could of come out with the truth. When i was finished with it i went back and looked over it and i realized either i had a lot of problems going on or i was completey fine. The questions that came up in my mind were what would the outcome be if this was a personality test , how would i be ranked and all that stuff. The family questions were a stick out to me because when i answerd them truthfully it made me really think deep about where i stand in my family or how ma family stands with eachother. I enjoyed the survey because it gives me a chance to think about my life.

HW 52 - Initial Theories of Human Relationships

A theory that exists in me is treat others the way you would want to be treated. This is basically something that i was taught by my family. They say this is a good thing to follow by because it can be true kind of like karma , what goes around comes around . I was raised up on a Christan based family so this was what i was expected to follow. If you don't treat others the way you want to be treated they are going to treat you the way you treat them. Which goes to another theory FRIENDS which come and go . Why does that happen if you cant trust a person why call them your friend because you may think you no a person and at the end of the day you dont.

Family, should be there for you no matter what and should always come first. They should stand behind you threw what ever you do nomatter if it is right or wrong. Family should lead you through what is right and they should no that people make mistakes and noone is perfect.

HW - 50

In the story The Six-Lesson Schoolteacher i like how the guy says "In any case, again, that's not my business. My job is to make the kids like it -- being locked in together, I mean -- or at the minimum, endure it. If things go well, the kids can't imagine themselves anywhere else" like he has a cure on making the kids think the way he wants them to think. So he sort of sounds like he is a nice teacher one that is very caring about what the students have to say and how they look things.  He even says how school is like a competition once you get to no the place.  "Nevertheless, in spite of the overall blueprint, I make an effort to urge children to higher levels of test success, promising eventual transfer from the lower-level class as a reward"  His other technique is telling the students that since they got to a higher grade they should be grateful and consider it a award, which is basically making the students feel good for them self which would probably make them do more work.

Short Story

Hey Mom Do We Really have To Move To New York. I Like The Schools Here DownSouth better then the one`s in new york. Mother looks at her daugther with a sad face and says yes , they have a better opening in a job for me there than they do here. Daughter looks at her mom and says fine.
...................................................

As Me And My mom Get on The bus to Go to My school, i see a group of girls staring at me, where im from if you stare at some one thats showing the person you wanna fight them or dont like them. so i turn my head and act like i dont see them. My mom notices them to and says you better not start no trouble up here.

As we get to my school in harlem ny i notice that the clothing of the girls is way different from how iam dressed i there for wonder if thats why the girls where looking at me. but downsouth the way im dressed is cool. i feel a little nervous what if people wont like me what if they think im not cool a nuff to be in there school, but im tuff i can do this .

As we walk into the office i see a gurl (hi im here to sign trevyln brown in for the first day of skool " as my mom speaks in the background sure just take a seat and i will get yuh all set up replies the secretary) she comes and she sits right next to me and says hi my name is kadejah whats yours? i reply baq trevyln but everyone calls me trev , she says nice to meet you im new. whoa i already made a friend i think to my self . maybe im cool after all maybe i will like this skool , just have to think positive

HW 23 - 1st Constructivist Exploration of Cool

I think being cool can be used in two different ways one can mean O he`s cool like by the way a person`s reputation is or the things they do that make them cool. another way can be when someone does something dumb and their trying 2 b cool and another person use`s the term of "o he`s cool" being sarcastic. plus there`s different ways of being cool, theres not just one way. people can think there cool in their own way. in my opinion someone who`s cool is someone who does their own thing and not follow on to other people like an leader, or who stand out for themselves as in unique and not what other people think.

In schools you cant really tell whos cool or not because people have there own little cliques , but basically they are split up in their own groups on how they act and what they like. some cliques are just about sports and they are cool beacuse they are really athletic. Then it`s the smart cliques who are cool beacuse they are smart. so i think that everybody is cool in there own way.


Now A Days the Coolness is determined on how you dress like if you have th lastest trend your cool, but if you dont then people call you all sorts of names, so like i said cool can be determined on different things. like in feed some of the characters i guess where cool because they listened to the feed find out the lastest things on what to buy. so on certain levels you can b cool if your not on that level then your just not cool.

i just wonder am i Cool , and what level would i fit into. WOnder if other people see me as cool , not that it matters lol .

art project 1

Digitalization

Your So Addictive ,
Idk What You Are Doing 2 Me ,
you Make Me Feeel Good , When i use you ,
But Your Paining Me in the Inside .
you HAve all these features , That Attracts me 2 You,
Makes me feel So Good but at The end makes me blue .

My poem is basically a hammer poem because it`s showing how the person feels about digitilization , and how it`s making them feel. My Art is Talking About how The person Starts becoming addictive to the product that he or she is using and how it makes them feel how it effects them. personally i think i can connect to my art because sometimes i feel this way , like as if the product takes control of me and i start to forget about all the other things that matter. i think that someone else can connect to it to, of how this one little object can hypnotize a person into getting hooked to it. the most interesting thing abuot making is that i can look back on how it was for me to do this process, and how i got to reflct onto it.

HomeWork # 12. feed A

When i first read feed i thought that this book was connecting back to us. They were Showing us How we really act in the real world, how we don't really look at thing`s the way that they are supposed to be looked at. They use thing`s that really show us , like the feed that could be shown as a some type of electronic device. Kind of like a blue tooth, like how people are so addicted to them they hook them up to there phone and they start talking to it , walking down the street as if they are talking to there self. just like the kids in feed they were talking to the feed as if it was something that they depend on.

All though there is no emotion shown in the book they all stick together with the feed. as though they are really close friend`s. they describe each other exactly how most of the group`s of people hang out now. In our teenage life all we do is party and hang out and care about the things were suppose to do. And in feed they keep there new trend`s upgraded , like cell phones and clothing . In My teenage life we use that to keep connected with our friend`s and anybody else.

As I Keep reading feed i realize that it`s just showing us how we are now and not our future. They Showing How Stubborn we could be and how we a similar we are to the character`s in feed. i compare TiTus to My self because in my opinion i use to much electronics , and i don`t look at all the thing`s and pay attention to everything . titus really depends on the feed and he let`s life just pass by him, like by him not talking too his parents and loving his brother more than him and just not being close to his family. I think this book is showing us that to much electronic`s can make us dumb. But as we Realize what s going on we start to slow down on the things that`s making us dumb.

Why Are People so addicted to the digital world? is It because there is so much cool technology out there or is because they want to look cool. today on the Train i saw that about everyone on the train had an ipod or a blackberry.
