Blog #7: Compare and Contrast

To show the different purposes

The two images being simlar on how they look, serve different purposes. The same outfit used by the two groups suggests a virtual relationship, but the symbols that they carry allows them to differentiate from one another.
My keypoints would be the symbols each one has, the outfits and the purposes behind it.
I would choose point by point, that would allow me to constantly show the differences and similarities between each subject.

Blog #6: Working on Definitions

Term: Evil
Evil is not when we are in peace and sacrifice for others. Killing is has always been evil. What Hitler did to the Jews was evil. Evil is like love, a strong emotion that drives human motives.

Open House

We are aware of what courses IB and AP consist of, and that they are very difficult as you said. We will make sure that my son takes fully advantage of the courses and that will guarantee him a great college education. We appreciate your availability and we will let you know if we have any questions.

The Araby

1) Joyce makes use of allusions and metaphors to effectively state his attitude of frustration and pessimism about poverty.


2) I would focus on the allusions, because the author uses characters and things to symbolically represent hope and motivation (the girl he liked), and discrimination and disillusionment (the girl in the bazaar)

3) Joyce’s most compelling argument is that it is worth trying to reach for what you want, even though at the end, you may not get it.

As a highschool student, I have a school that I want to go to when I get out of highschool and I’m applying for it. At the end, perhaps, the school will not accept me. But at least I have a chance of getting accepted by applying, rather than never having a chance at all by not applying for it.

Cicero: Who I am?

Marcus Tullius Cicero (pronounced /ˈsɪsɨroʊ/; Classical Latin: [ˈkikeroː]; January 3, 106 BC – December 7, 43 BC) I was a Roman philosopher,statesman, lawyer, political theorist, and Roman constitutionalist. I came from a wealthy municipal family of the equestrian order, and I am widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists.

I introduced the Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary (with neologisms such as humanitas,qualitas, quantitas, and essentia) distinguishing myself as a linguist, translator, and philosopher. An impressive orator and successful lawyer, I thought that my political career was my most important achievement. Today, I am appreciated primarily for my humanism and philosophical and political writings. My voluminous correspondence, much of it addressed to my friend Atticus, has been especially influential, introducing the art of refined letter writing to European culture. Cornelius Nepos, the 1st-century BC biographer of Atticus, remarked that my letters contained such a wealth of detail "concerning the inclinations of leading men, the faults of the generals, and the revolutions in the government" that their reader had little need for a history of the period. My speeches and letters remain some of the most important primary sources that survive on the last days of the Roman Republic.
