"On Self-Reliance" Part 3

"For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure." What this is basically saying is that nobody wants to do anything that discomfort them or makes them feel uneasy. Because if you really think about it who would want to go out of there way to do something that might hurt them or make them feel different about themselves. The only reason people do that is to improve themselves and be greater than what you really are and learn. Because if you don't go out to fail then you will never learn how to get better and improve your self at anything in life. Once you set yourself to fail then you will understand how to grow and improve you and the people around you.

"On Self-Reliance" Part 2

As I keep reading this essay I am baffled by some of the sentences this author has wrote down. Like "The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried." Which means to me that if he or she doesn't take the chance to learn, fail and take that choice you really don't want to do you will never know what you really can do in life. This essay to me so is about people and not noticing their mistakes and not knowing how to make themselves better for the people around them, or even just for themselves. Because humans thrive on communication and without it nothing will ever get done and the human species will go extinct. So understanding this essay and what this author is trying to say is a huge factor in understanding what you can do and how you can still be you and nobody else, becasue there is and will be only one of you in any lifetime.

First Impression: On Self-Reliance

My first impression On Self-Reliance was that basically everything that the author has wrote is in fact true for most people alive today. In the introduction "Ne te quaesiveris extra" the author stated "Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,". What I think he means by this is that whatever we do, weather its good or bad will affect what we become in out future."To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men,-that is genius."

Let Me Walk You Through The Pedestrain

    "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury is a short story about Mr Leonard Mead experiencing how the authority is so used to people sitting watching TV in their homes at night. He is also feeling the effects of technology its making everyone and their homes at the darkest night look like a cemetery with grey phantoms floating about and flickers of lights flashing on curtain windows. The main and only characters tone is sad and very lonely with a dark dimly lit setting.

The tone is very lonely because the character Leonard Mead is the only real character introduced in this story. With only the police car to be only thing that confronts him. Also while he is walking on his regular night walk he has stated in his story that he has never came across another person on his walks in 8 years. The tone is also quite sad because he has no one to talk to and when the police car asks him if he has a wife he replied "Nobody wants me". Now there you can see that it hurts Mr Mead to even say that, but he does anyways and the police car says nothing.

Mr Leonard Mead is the main character in this short story and only has one interaction and thats with the police car that stops him while he is on his night walk. He is also the only character that is introduced as an actual person. Mr Mead is impacted by how the authorities treat him and how the technology has had a huge impact on them. He feels like nobody even realizes how technology has made everyone be dumb in a sense where they don't want to be around people and interact with them.
   
The main plot of this short story is that Mr Leonard Mead is out on a lonely night walk and is
stopped by the only police car in the city at night and the police car takes him to his lit house. How Mr mead reacts to he police car about what he says to him and how calm he is about every question and how the police car reacts to his answers goes to show how much people are not used to that kind of behavior, and if Mr Mead would have responded differently the plot and the outcome would have came out differently. Mr.Mead then realises what technology has done to our society and how our people act and he knows it will only get worse if nothing is done to prevent it.
   
 So really in conclusion of what Ray Bradbury has wrote, what he believes and my whole essay is that people and the relationship with technology has to be change. Because if we don't we will continue to be slaves to our own creation and nobody will have any sense of thinking for themselves. So take some time off your devices and spend time with friends and family, because you will never not get that chance again.

So This Guy Goes For A Walk

Ray Bradbury wrote "The Pedestrian" and I feel like he wrote this because he wanted everyone to see how technology has dramatically changed everyone in how they feel and act towards one another. 
In the story, Mr Bradbury walks just to walk at night and while he is on his walks he notices that there is nobody on the dark streets and all the houses are dark with the flickering light in windows covered by curtains. While on his walk he is confronted by a suspicious police car. The police car then asks him why is he walking out at night and not watching TV at his house. Bradbury responded "Walking for air, Walking to see." The police car didn't understand at all and told him to get in and took Bradbury home. The tone of the story is sad and lonely and the only character is just Bradbury.

How To Get Along Online

Hey there and on this blog I will be teaching you readers how to have a good online conversation

There are many ways to have a good online conversation and it can happen in many different ways. I will tell you three that i think are the most important. The first one is that you and the people your having a conversation with has to be fully into the conversation. Because if you or they aren't the conversation won't grow and advance and nobody will get anything off of it. The second one is that if you have a bad host of the online conversation neither you or your peerors will learn anything and will be lost on what you guys were talking about. The third and final one is that you need that have something that is actually interesting to have a conversation about. Because if the conversation is simple and plain like food is good, then nobody is gonna want to have a whole conversation about it because there isn't really anything to talk about. But if you had a conversation about something like climate change or what's the best breakfast than people will have information to go off from and it can grow.

The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online

The main points of hosting a good conversation online are having an actual good and interesting conversation, having/being a good host of the conversation, how the host develops and grows the conversation, and also how a host behaves to the people he/she are hosting. The reason for these main points are because if your online conversation, or conversation is boring then nobody is gonna put the time and effort into developing it into a good conversation. Also being a good host or having a good host is just as important as having a good online conversation, because if the host doesn't know what he/she is doing and doesn't know how to set up online conversation etc. then they shouldn't be a host.
