I believe Vonnegut is right. The man who invented computers didn’t let technology do the work he did. Making the computer made him famous and that is what he became. I agree with him when he says nuclear submarines and missiles are newfangled contraptions. So Vonnegut is right and I do believe that it is yopu becoming and we should not let the computer do it for us. All the great inventors thought of the idea befor they made it. So that is them becoming.

End of Quarter 3 Goals.

I achieved only two of my goals I dint not achieve my AR goal which I am very disappointed at myself for that. I do believe that I got better at my oral communication and at finding research for projects. For next quarter and next year I have three goals for myself that I hope to achieve.

1. To get even better on my oral communication in class.

2. Be on top and on the right level for the population project as well as any other assignments.

3. To get my vocabulary and writing skills higher.

cold war debrief

1. Which country were you? What strategy did you use to try to win?
My group and i were the USA. We treied to buy as many allies as we could. As well as economic, food, and military points to bribe other contries. We also bought alot of weapon power and military to fight off the other contries in attacks.

2. Who won the game and why? Who won the “real” Cold War?
I really dont think anyone really won the game. The US got more points but the USSR got more allies which means more of the world wanted to be communists. In the real cold war the USA won. But the USA still got some of the major developing contries in this game that is why we got more points. But the USSR got more allies who have smaller econimic ponts with larger goals.
so no one actually won this war in the simmulation

VC Project

At first when we started to record, the computer kept dropping out and our VC kept closing. So we needed to use a new computer. Our process took a long time. We needed to learn our lines. And we were very worried because our computers stopped working.

The three tips I would give you when doing your VC presentation

  1. make sure your mic. Is on.
  2. make sure you and your group agree on everything.
  3. memories your lines so you can look into the camera more.

The two worst aspects were

  1. the computer stopped working
  2. we didn’t memories our lines so we didn’t look into the camera as much.

The two best parts were

  1. we learned new ways to do a presentation.
  2. learned how to use a VC.

Animal farm, the movie : )

I think the movie is very different from the book. There are a lot of changes. In the movie old major got shot by Mr. Jones but in the book he died of old age. The changed the national anthem. Old major got chopped up and sold so man can eat him. Also Mr. Jones and Mrs. P slept together while Mr. P slept because he was drunk. Jessie the dog had babies in the movie but in the book the pigs had babies. Instead of the storm ruining the windmill Mr. Jones blew it up with dynamite. But snowball was still blamed. In the end napoleon dies and the animals are free and they get new owners but in the book napoleon just turns into a human and that’s the end of the book. In the movie the animals live happily ever after. So the movie and the book are very different. I personally like the book much better than the movie.

the animal im most like in animal farm

The animal I am most like would be clover. I would be clover because I just listen and do what I am told. She does not go against napoleon and what he says. She just follow along and don’t really rebel. When she feels something is not right the n she goes and checks over the rules. Like on page 45 it says clover , who thought she remembered a rule against beds she went to the barn to read the seven commandments. Another example from the book is on page 49 when it says only boxer and clover never lost heart. Which would be that they still followed with what napoleon said. This is why i am most like clover.

In my country America it is not mandatory to join the military . It is a free decision. In the worst case possible i would fight for my country. For example, i would fight if i was forced. If i my family were being threatened i would fight. If people or my own life were being threatened i would defend them in all ways. To defend my country i will fight under any circumstances to save people.
