Journal, online meeting #25

A story that always comes to mind for me is a story of a man who has the will and the smarts to survive in the extremely cold weathers, dangerous wild life, and fearless enemies. Where he has lost everything but will not give up the will to live for some unknown reason. It’s a movie called the “Revenant” This movie has taught me many things about the struggles of life back then and what they went through just to make money and no matter how bad life gets always find the will to live and survive through the bad and the worse. This has been one best stories I have ever heard and I don’t think I’m going to forget it any time soon. This is one of the first stories that pops into my head when someone asks what is the best story I’ve heard. This story came straight to my head right after I read the journal topic. I highly recommend anyone watching this great story of hardship and great challenges to over come. This doesn’t have high graphic content but is still a great story.

No Guts No Glory

As you can tell by the title this post will be about having the courage to do something in order to achieve greatness and you can also say “risk it for the biscuit”. When Beaty and the fireman Pull up to Montag's house he knows that they know he has a book and did something “illegal”. The question was that, do you think it was worth it for Montag to read all those books? Honestly I really feel like it wasn’t worth it to read all those books because he did live a more comfortable life than others but how he felt and what he was going through and what he was starting to realize about what’s happening around him I understand completely why he would read all those books, I would’ve done the same things. Because who doesn’t have the curiosity to learn what reading is like and what really happens back then and why are books illegal. He begins to understand that it is cruel to control people and begins to see that Beaty is controlling and selfish and wants to see everything burn in front of his eyes. What Montag did was a rebellious act and what any real normal would have done the same thing to have actual peace and freedom for all.

Journal April 13

Everyone is going to have different experiences in this pandemic and some similarities as well. Some might have to work and help around the house more and not be able to homework and study because of how busy they will be. Then there are others who have a lot of time on their hands and just choose to not do it. Then finally there are the students who want to thrive and be something in life after this pandemic and have a future and really care about their education. For me I’m more in the middle really, because I really care about my future and really want to be something in life and have a comfortable living when I’m older but I procrastinate quite a bit and choose not to do my work I know that is going to have change very very soon. But I do help my parents and family members as well with cleaning and supporting them with the house and problems while trying to stay healthy. I know I’m not the only one going through this and I know many others have it WAY worse than I do so I can just be grateful for what I have and that I’m able to be healthy and have an education.

The Glory of the Mistake

I’m the story of Fahrenheit 451 Montag has read a poem to Mildred friends and it had a huge impact on them and how they feel towards everything. Mildreds friends had started to feel sad and one of them even started to cry and then the all started to rush out and leave Montag and Mildred’s home. Montag knee he had made a mistake but the professor Faber wasn’t mad at all at Montag. He told him  that it is okay if you make mistakes. Because it is apart of life and nothing can evolve with mistakes and changes and learning from those mistakes. He told him that as long as you learn from your mistakes it’s okay to make another mistake, as long as you don’t make the same one because then you wouldn’t be learning from it at all. Because the worst you can do to your future is not try and go out to fail. Because a fail is a fail if you let it be a fail. If you look at it as a challenge and overcome that that mistake or challenge the you are learning and evolving to be a greater and better person for yourself and others around you.

Case for War

Life being held in one place and not having a choice in leaving is a bad way to live. Because even if I wanted to leave (in which I can) I have a chance of getting a horrible virus that can harm my way of living all together. Living this way is hard and challenging for anyone. Having to deal with homework, home problems and and this horrible virus is a tuff living. Because the class work that has been dumped on all students because schools had no idea what to do because of this happening so fast. Not one person right now has it easy and everyone has to come together and work together to get through this pandemic the best way possible. So if you are a person that needs help reach out to someone or even if you do have everything figured out. Go reach out to others to see if they need help in these troubling times because wouldn’t you want help if you were in trouble?

Sometimes You Need A Professor

There is nobody in the world that has all the answers to every little question, so you might ask someone else to help you answer your question that you need answered. I remember when I had a question needed answering and when I would ask someone about it they wouldn’t even tell me because they had no clue either. My question was that weather or not the human race came from reptiles and evolution or was it from some kind of “god” that brought everything to life and made everything around us. I didn’t know which to believe weather we came from evolution or a god. So I looked it up I’m google. I found out that the human race along with all the other life forms on this planet came from bacteria in water which evolved and grew into fish. Then those fish adapted to the environment around them and evolved to breath oxygen and walk on legs. So then some of the species branches off and evolved into other kinds of animals like reptiles and birds and mammals. Then evolved into apes which evolved into humans and the human race and evolved and gotten smarter and devolved many technology to become the alpha species in thinking. I don’t actually know whether to believe this but I have searched this topic again and again and have seen the same answer so it must be true and I can’t really see how it can’t be true.

This Cat Is Curious

Not one person doesn’t have curiosity once in a while and is willing to do crazy things to find their answer they are looking for even if it is dangerous. The saying “curiosity killed the cat” is one of many sayings to people with curiosity and want to find answers. I’m can be for personal gain or for someone else that wants to know that can benefit you and others. But others can be more curious than others and some people are scared of curiosity than others will be. That’s when those people will warn others from being curious but really without we wouldn’t have gotten this far in life. Because being curious got a caveman to make fire, being curious got Benjamin Franklin to make electricity, and bring being curious got man to make the most destructive weapon called a nuke. Being curious can be a good or bad thing and can have different consequences weather they are good or bad. But being curious is never a bad thing it’s part of life to be curious and nobody can ever evolve without failure and the curiosity to try again and again until they find their answer and the result they are looking for.
