For The Win/ter Break

My big question is why do people say that dogs see different colors from what we see if they cant see from a dog's perspective? A dog can't speak to us and see what it can and can't see. If you think training Is the answer I don't buy it because just like we humans miss understand stuff and don't know sometimes what people tell us dog's can do the same. For winter I am going to take advantage of not having homework and train on my speed and conditioning for speed. Also stay up late watching movies and playing games. My brother will also be coming in town and I would like to spend some time with my mom and brother.

My essay

A dynamic character is a character that under goes changes and isn't the same as they were when we (the readers) were introduced. In the book Les Mis there was one character that stood out the most to me. That was Jean Valjeaan.
When we first get introduced to Jean Valjean is this character that is sorta a father figure for his sister and her kids. I see him as being a father figure by the way he won't let them starve. When we had recently learned about him we knew that he got a good amount of years in jail for stealing some bread.
After he had been released from jail he was trying to fit in. Jean Valjean tried to be nice and get a place to stay and eat but once the owners saw he was In jail for a while they threw him out onto the street. Later In the book he met the pope. The pope was this kind guy who helped anyone even if they were rich, poor, or even an ex trouble maker like Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean later in the book steals from the pope. He gets caught by the police. They bring him back to the pope and ask him if he gave him the silver ware. The pope says yes and asks them to let Jean Valjean go. The pope even gave him more silver than what he had already stole. In this part of the book Jean is a backstabber to the pope who helped him.
Finally towards the end of the chapter on Jean Valjean he becomes embarrassed of him self. He starts to weep because he has been so cruel to the people he had just met. He got to this point because he had stole a silver coin from a random boy that had just passed by. When the boy left Jean Valjean could not find the boy. Jean had a flash back on what the pope had told him. The pope said that he had bought Jean's freedom. It hit him he started weeping and was embarrassed about him self. This was the last change we (readers) saw him undergo.
 Jean Valjean did not stay the same throughout the whole the portion of the book the book we read he went through major changes not just once but multiple times . This character changes because the pope words had just hit him and he realized. how bad he had been. The character gave me a suspense feel when he was stealing the silver ware from the pope. I also saw a bit of suspense.

What’s love got to do with it

Today we talked about making food and doing whatever you do with love instead of just making it cause it’s ur hustle. We talked about how whatever your doing with love comes out successful. I believe that because I’ve tried food in restaurants that I would usually have in my home and they don’t taste the same because they are making it just for their money. Compared to a home meal when it’s made with love it taste better like their isn’t anything you would rather eat that moment.

Calling My Shot

I think I will do good on my exam tomorrow. I had already been thinking of ideas on what to write about while my teacher was talking. I was thinking of using Jean Valjean. I was gonna write on how he went from this sorta father figure of his family because he  would steal bread for them. To being cruel to the only person that had helped him. At the end having redemption and weeping.

Something that on my mind

On my mind right now is on what I am going to do. Like where am I going to end up how my life is going to be after school. I know how I want it to be right now which is making it to college football and from there try to be a pro. Its a tight window to fit through but I believe I can do it and hopefully I end up actually living it. The next thing I was thinking of how I would end up would be is a navy seal. I really like the navy and I think it is cool how they are like the go to people to do any type of job because they're trained in lots of different fields and so efficient in each of them.

Lurking Lit Techniques

I wanted to point out the setting in todays reading. Pages 114 to about 120 was talking about how France was doing. By that I mean what was going on with France like who was the king at that time. Also about what had just happened to Napoleon and his defeat. I had just finished reading from 108 to 113 and I saw a bit of foreshadowing. When Jean Valjean had stole the coin from the boy it was talking about how if he wants to become evil he must become a demon if he wants to become good he must become an angel. Go a bit further in the book to 113 it was about Jean weeping and I see it as Jean sorta redeeming him self. I also saw a bit of a Dynamic character in there because Jean before him weeping was this hard stone cold robber that had been made into that mold by being in prison so long who would steal from those who helped him. To now realizing how bad he has been and weeping over how terrible he had been.

What I do on the weekends

On the weekends after a long week of school I like to relax and catch up on work or even get a head start on the homework for the upcoming week. Saturdays I like to either play games like Madden which is a football game or even NBA 2k which is a basketball game. If I'm not doing that I'm on my phone watching TV shows or sleeping. Sundays is a work day for me because I finish up my homework and then get started on some worksheets for class.

Something I’m thinking about

Right now I’m thinking about my elementary memories. The reason I’m thinking about this was because me and Jovanny were talking about what we did during elementary. Like we played football and then what happened to our old teachers and what we think they are doing. We were also talking about our old friends and wondering where they ended up now. We planed to go back and try to see them.

Here is your silver

I wasn’t surprised with the bishop realsing jean valjean from being incarcerated. I wasn’t surprise with his action because thought out the whole book the author was giving us information on the bishop being this unselfish guy. Also before Jean had showed up with the brigadier the bishop had said that “the silver belongs to the poor which he is “. Yes I think he is a good role model because he doesn’t have a hateful mindset he could’ve easily put Jean behind bars again.

Inciting incident

I like it when they give me a whole bunch of information on a character because for me it feels like I’m actually there next to the character. For me it feels like I’m their friend. It also gives you a strong surprise if they end up doing something that’s out of character. Like today we read about Jean Valjean stealing some silver ware from the pope. Jean came in the book and they dedicated a section in the book to him where it talked about how his time in jail started. I thought that Jean had changed or wasn’t like that because he was saying how he was innocent and then he stole silverware from the pope.

My semester goal

I wanna aim for at least an A in this class because I feel like I have done everything possible to get all the blog post down and finishing up reading les mis. I feel like my blogging has gotten better than before when I was barley starting. I have done my best to get better at what my teacher has asked me to do. The way imma get to my goal is trying really hard and working twice as much from getting it done with class work and blogs to helping out my partners get there work done so they can succeed in there goals.
