What have I learn this quarter of this semester? Well to be honest I hardly remember most of them, in a way I felt like we didn’t really do much in the classroom, but in the other hand we actually did. I’m surly did know that we’ve watch so many videos and movies just were very interesting really, I like the one we watch the “V for vendetta movie” which it was relating the social groups and how it can take over your life if you don’t do something about it. It was a good movie to watch in class and a better understanding how the media was trying to work things out and secret towards it. I’ve Learn that what’s been going around the world, the news, the drama that has been happening in these few years that maybe not anyone heard about it in the news. One example when My Teacher Ms. Hick was telling her student class mate that the governments and high top generals had a meeting and explain what happen to this girl who got shot in the head when all she wanted some education and she wanted to go to school like the rest of the kids. And I use she got notice about getting shot in the face and the government gave her millions of money for her given speech that she made about her getting shot. I think that honestly the most crazies thing I’ve heard that this little girl almost die from a gunshot in the face all because of school? If I was her I would be so scared and not go to school so I won’t get shot in the face I rather live for the life I have right now then lose it over something I couldn’t get it in the first place, I don’t know that’s my opinion.
There were some things that taking me away from class that is pretty much true in the outside world was social media. Or in the Talk Ted movie we watched this video of this white male telling his story about a secret service that the government was going to do towards us or other people. What he saw wasn’t pleasant, he went on and told people he knew and of course it was spreading around to person to person. And the government people heard it that their own team-member release the secret news, they were going to kill him for that. So he went off to a different country to save his life. So he got interview in the talk in ted show, and it was a computer that walked in with his face on it, it was so weird and crazy because he’s afraid to go back to the U.S because he knew that the government are looking for him and want to him of releasing these important information, now that the citizens of the United States knows the news even the whole globe knows it.
This class was a whole lot different than my other three language arts classes this year. I was somewhat expecting more working in here like every other classes too, but we hardly did anything in here that’s why I couldn’t remember my first assignment of the first day of school. But I really liked this class because surprising we didn’t had so many testes or quizzes it was mostly a chill, relaxing day every single day when I come too 3rd. But somehow we should have done more homework, or class work because having so much relaxing day got so boring I couldn’t help it but sleep and sometimes I don’t want come to class because we basically didn’t do much. So I guess you can say I like it because there was no homework every single day, quizzes, or testes. But then again we should so it could raise my grades even higher comparing too now where we’re barely doing anything and failing this class, and this class is an easy A.
The most experience class in the last four years of my high school days was pretty much my junior year in language arts class. It affects me the most because back in freshman year, I was carless about grades and I had okay grades but not the grades I wanted to have. Then comes too sophomore year I was getting a little more mature but still had my grade okay, I mean I made good B’s but in language was a C, and I never wanted them a C, I would always tell myself “Grace you need to stop fooling around, grow up now!” “If you want to make better grades, then be a man about your words!” Then sophomore year come alone I did somewhat better than I did last year to be honest. I was happy but sadly I use made a bit bad choices and got some C’s in some classes. So then came junior year I became more mature and more focus towards school work and see how very important it is to make good grades to go into college. So this year I’m doing way much better than the last three years I did in some of my classes back in when I didn’t care about my grade.
What could have been different coming from taken this British Lit 12th grade course was, and I can’t believe I’m saying this but, we should have had more like class work or have quizzes, but easy quizzes daily so it would help people to raise their grades up like me. Or take some tests here or there. But other than that this class wasn’t even bad at all. I don’t know how people are failing this class so poorly, it was pretty much do your works turn them in and that’s in. This class wasn’t really much to worried about until now, having grades in before its completely over with!

My thought towards the video was just outranges, what it was talking about is totally heartbreaking and so true that our world it is very precious to us, but we have those types of people who just can’t get along with other different ethnic people. They always have to start a war with somebody, they don’t think about us, of how we feel towards the hatred they have against each other. They don’t understand that all this bombing and tanks destroy towns and people they’re basically hurting earth’s surface of its mankind.
The only “mark” I want to leave this earth is love. Love is a beautiful thing that can happen to anyone and everyone it brings joys and happiness into people’s faces. It brings my mood up because no one likes to be down to the ground feeling sad or have hatred. But into today’s society there are still wars going on between us, we have our braves soldiers dying four our country, wives crying their eyes out all because of their man’s getting kill. And what news that the government or general tells those wives? Oh I’m sorry for your loss ma’am, and hand them a flag like nothing happens or don’t have anything to say back. Like really, that’s not right having someone who cared for other and love them very deeply and one thing after another they’re gone forever all just because the government want to win the battle? So careless at all, we all need love around us, no more hatred or fighting or anymore violence going around us, we don’t need it.
I kind of want to live here my home called World, but lately what’s been going around is so scary, deadly, and violence people. I just want to run away and probably want to live in Pluto, since just the sound of it sounds so cute but however Pluto does not exist. So I’ll just stick to earth for right now and tried to changes it so many ways to make a better and more humble place called home, then I rather stay here and fix these entire mistake that happen in the first place.
