Raft Agentina 6-2-3-5

Well you see, Ernesto's mom, I have a small number of connections with this adventure. I have also had an adventure, that had its share of transportation problems.

In Into the Wild, Chris MaCandless, also went on a journey to find himself, however he ended up dying, which I hope is not the fate of your son.

 Everyone goes on journeys hopefully they really are able to show them all the things that are happening in the area they live in and it helps people decide whether they want to be a part of it.

Raft Intro

Role: You
Audience: Classmates
Format:Poem
Topic: What do you expect to study this marking period

We have to understand a revolution
about the symbol of the revolutionary
to determine how you view this human being
Ernesto, Che, a change choreographed by the suffering of the people
a man, who changed the symbol of evil, to a symbol or freedom, the revolution
a life, that must be seen through the looking glass
deep introspection, of our views of the world
who was the man really?
Was it he he took on the greater evils to help a nation grow
or an inhumane man, judge, jury, executioner
learn about the travels that can change ones mind so much
and a motorcycle, that guides their journey

180 degrees south reflection

"Books are a great start, but there is no substitute for just going there."

1. This quote reflects the film in a important way. It explains that no matter how much you read about the world there is no nothing better than going out and experiencing the wonders of the world.
2. THis quote relates to my life in a very similar way to the film, all through high school we get to see how cool the world looks through all of our books we read. After high school it is many kids first time going pretty far away and its an experience everyone should have.

MP #2 Reflection

Invisible man was a very long and very deep book.  Work ethic was a major problem because of the seemingly insurmountable amount of work we were given. Though understanding the message from the book proved easy for me, actually writing my thoughts down about the book when questioned was more difficult. Nearing the end of the marking period, I realized that I was very tired of Invisible Man, and it began to show with my lack of work.

The first semester was very slow gathering like the going up before being tossed into the restless ocean of Invisible Man many details and ideas.

Have fun but balance it with work and responsibility.

They're wants from one another.
3. What Sybil and the Narrator want from each other.
To take advantage of each other, because of what they both need.

IR blog post 11 Early ads in battle for the next election

This article talks about how even though the 2012 election is 22 months away, and yet politicians still have ads that are going out.

I find this to be really not needed. With the elections so far off all they are doing is throwing events that matter now at the voters and getting them to be active out of emotion instead of out of logic.

Strikeforce's brilliant move: Overeem and his belt in heavyweight tour 

Strikeforce is often considered to have the best heavyweight division in mma, however within the last 2 years all of their top contenders have been absent from the octagon for different reasons. But, now Strikeforce is having an 8 man heavyweight tournament, including Fedor Emelianenko(considered to be the best heavyweight in the history of the sport) Alistair Ovreem(current Strikeforce heavyweight champion) and many other notable names. 

My biggest question for this article is that Fedor, has only fought once in the last 2 years and it was a loss via triangle choke to Frabrico Werdum, how will he perform against the top level contenders after such a long time out?

How will Alistair Ovreem handle his first actual test against top contending heavyweights since his ascent to the top of the Strikeforce heavyweight bracket?
