Blog Post Assignment 2

When I began my AP class on the first day of school, I felt that I was prepared. My first block is AP Chemistry, in the beginning, I was excited because I have taken this class before and I enjoyed it. When I got further into the class during these last two weeks I noticed that it is more challenging than honor classes and the class moves faster. My third block is Pre-Calculus and I enjoy math so, that class is not as difficult. My fourth block is AP English, the hardest class of them all. This class is treated as a college class. In this class, every assignment is timed and I am not accustomed to this yet, therefore, every assignment in class and out has been a hardship for me. The first two weeks of school have been quite stressful for me.  I am not used to having homework every day and learning to figure things out without any questions asked. When counselors say that these classes are advanced placement they really are, and they will be taught that way. It is also a learning process for me to balance flag practice and work from my AP classes. AP classes have shown to be about time management and hard work. From my first two weeks, I have already realized that this will be a long stressful year of being an AP student.

A Southbound Adventure

Christine and her husband, John, decided to hike the PCT to Mexico. Before they started their southbound hike toward the PCT they planned to take a low elevation alternate route for the first  60 miles. They chose this route because they heard of the bad conditions that had been on the PCT for the first South bounders. Due to Christine's fear of heights this plan did not work in her favor. When she arrived at the next section through Glacier Peak it was very challenging for her.  She would run out of energy quickly and collapse in the snow from exhaustion. Her hiker appetite did not kick in yet, so when she did collapse John would be handing her a jar of Nutella to eat. Even though she had hardships at Glacier Peaks, she still couldn't deny the amazing view from the mountains. When they got to the Oregon, multiple north bounders passed them. Later on they arrived in Northern California, they were happy that they could finally have the wilderness to their selves. When they passe

The Sorrow of War Blog Assignment 2

" Scenes from the northern battlefront began forming before him and he saw once again the Ngoc Bo Ray peaks and the woods of the Screaming Souls. Then each man in his platoon reappeared before him in the room. By what magic was this happening to him? After the horrible slaughter which had wiped out his battalion, how could he see them again?" (pg.86). 1. This quote relates to theme of loss because he has loss many soldiers in his platoon while in the war. 2. This quote provides details about the setting of him doing his duties in the war and MIA team. This setting helps classify the period of the 1970's because this is around the time that he joined the MIA team. " Now after after many years, whenever I see a flood I feel a sharp pang in my heart and think of my cruel stupidity. No human being deserved the torture I left him to suffer" (pg.94). 1.This quotation indicates a conflict with person vs. self, because Phan is beating his self up on the inside fo

Reflection/ Daily Blog

Reflection: In the Color Purple Mr.____ has been moping around since he has found out hat Shug Avery is in town. He was happy in the beginning but afterwards he became depressed and through that situation is showed how Celie and Mr.____ didn't have the bond that would be created during marriage. While dealing with that situation Harpo has found a women that he loves and he impregnated her hoping that her father would approve of his life with Sophia, his girlfriend. I don't understand why Mr.____ doesn't like Sophia because she hasn't done anything but still Harpo's heart. Harp sees that his dad will not approve of their relationship, but he married her anyway. When he married her their marriage seemed from the outside but on the inside they were struggling with roles because Sophia wasn't listening to Harpo. Harpo asked Celie for advice and she told him to beat Sophia which only made the situation worse. In my opinion Sophia shouldn't have told Harpo that
