Ms .Golds Report

Lucretia Mott was a reformer who faught for women and african americans

rigths.She was also one of the first feminists. I think that she had a big impact on

modern day and her own time as well.

One important example of how she effected her own time would be her fight

fight for womens rights. This would be a good example because there were not alot

of peoplefighting for womens rights during her time. Nor were there people fighting

for african americans rights so of course she made a huge impact by trying to draw

the women and african americans to the idea of them having freedom.

Another good example would be that she was one of the first feminists and

bought the idea of feminism to the us. This would be because Lucretia Mott was the

first feminist of the U.S.A (who knew she was) she technically bought the idea to

the citzens of the U.S. If it weren't for her there probbably wouldn't be feminists

today.

One final example and probably the most major would be that she waone of the

founders of the Senessa Falls Women's rights convention. This is a crutial part of

abolitionist history because the Senecca Falls Women's rights convention was one of

the first major conventions that Lucretia Mott took part in.

These are three good examples of how Lucretia Mott-one of the first

feminist/abolitionists effected her time as well as modern day. Thank you for taking

some of your time to read this essay.

Mad Soldier's "Blind Game Again"-A Good Poem or Just Another Unknown Anime Song

"Blind Game Again" lyrics by, Yuriko Mori and performed by Mad Soldiers may seem like another unknown anime song, but it could pass as a good poem. This song is from the well know anime"Gravitation". It's manga was published by Tokyopop and the anime by "therightstuf" company. This song can pass as a good poem because of it's imagery, personification, and sound.
Now the Mad Soldiers song "Blind Game Again" has a good use of imagery. For example when Yuriko Mori writes "shatter the eternally unchanging nights." With this line the most would picture a starry night (or a picture of) being shattered like glass. Thus if it would be an example of imagery. Another place Yuriko Mori used imagery was the line " Amid the rustling, the light around me." Now this line can be an example of both imagery and sound are used. Sound is used when the "rustling wind" is brought up. You can hear wind and rustling so it is sound. Imagery was used when "light around me" is said. Now this would be an example of imagery because when one would hear this line they would picture themselves (or someone else) surrounded by light.
Even among all of these great traits that come with his songs he also provides a different perspective. His song says things like " light around me slips through my memory", now to most this would make absolutely no sense but I will explain what this means. When Yuriko writes "the light around me slips through my memory" he means that any memory except those of his lover he will forget. Now another way Yuriko may open ones eyes would be be when he says " These flowing tears have stained me with rampant lies and let my dreams escape" with this line he means that he has cried so much that the tear are almost there permanently and that the tears (his sadness caused by lies) has become so bad that it has crushed his dreams. This would be only a few examples of how he would create a new perspective.
Now most would think that a Japanese song would only rhyme in Japanese but this is not true. Probably without even knowing it Yuriko Mori rhymed a few lines of his songs in English as well as Japanese. The first example of this would be when he writes " It's yet unseen conclusion is an illusion " "conclusion" and "illusion" rhyme so there is my point. Another time he rhymed was in the performance of the song itself. Performed by the Mad Soldiers "Blind Game Again" was a Japanese song that rhymed( of course ) in Japanese. Now because this song is of original Japanese origin it is only natural that it would rhyme in Japanese.
Because of the sound, rhyme (in both ways) ,imagery, and personification of this song it has all the characteristics of a good poem (Whether it be the lyrics in Japanese or English). This song is a well known favorite to anime fans- and if given the chance it can be enjoyed by others as well.

Ms. Melville's paragraph

The majority of the class answered "high school" to the question of- which is better-high school or middle school? One persons answer was high school because it has " older people and harder work." I think this was said because in high school you do indeed meet older people. As for the work- it's high school, of course it's going to have harder work. Another persons response was middle school because "your already used to it and work is easier". Now I believe this was said because you are already used to middle school so by the time you finally get to high school you feel uncomfortable. On the other hand it is also a huge transition from middle school to high school.( High school is much harder)As said before, of course middle school work is easier than high school work, its a huge transition. Now there is a neutral in all of this. The person who was neutral said" I really don't care because I hate school so...both". This is a neutral-obviously. It's neutral because it has the word "both". But all in all, in the peoples eyes high school is better than middle school. It's majority vote.

Reflection of Election of '08

The election of '08 was certainly a crazy one. First the two populars were Obama and Clinton- then Clinton was in a weird way voted off. Then there was only Obama and McCain. I was of course only voting for Obama but regardless McCain wasn't that close behind in the popular election votes.


ALL IN ALL- It was a historical and very memorable election.
I would like one like this to happen again.

Lacretia Mott- N.H.D PROJECT- MS.THOMPSON

Lucretia Mott



Lucretia Mott was a woman rights leader who was born January 3, 1793 in Nantucket

Massachusetts. She was an outspoken woman who was born into a family of Quakers

so as you can imagine she was raised to be a very peaceful person. ( As most

Quakers are raised to be ) She was a leader the leaders of anti-slavery

and women’s rights movements across America. She became a Quaker minister

at the age of 21. She like many Quakers believed in peace and equality

so becoming a person who fights would only be natural- wouldn’t it?

She believed that African- Americans had (or should) have had just as much

freedom as anyone else ( this goes for women as well. ) . She was active

in abolishment in the United States before the Civil War broke out, she

was a helper in finding two anti- slavery groups (they were founded

thanks to her friend Sojourner Truth and Harriet Beecher Stowe

who were also fellow abolitionists. ).

She met and married her husband in 1811 his name was

James Mott. ( Which would explain a lot about her last name

wouldn’t it? )

Well Ms. Mott -or should I say Mrs. Mott didn’t stop there

She moved onto bigger and better things. She attended the World

Anti- Slavery Convention in London, France. The men who were

In charge of seating the guests refused to seat the women and others

That were there with Lucretia Mott. (This occurred in 1840)




Mrs. Mott responded by pledging and promising that she would do her

best to fight for women’s rights and the freedom of African- Americans.

Sometime after 1848 Lucretia spoke widely for both women’s rights

and the abolition of slavery. A reformer Elizabeth Cady Stanton and herself

organized the first women’s rights movement in 1848. In 1850 she spoke of

the economical, educational, and political restrictions of the women in

Europe and also in America. When slavery was abolished in 1865,

Mrs. Lucretia Mott started to advocate the right for African-Americans

to vote.

Now as you can see Lucrtiea Mott was associated with quite a few

other abolitionists on her journey of abolition for the abuse of women’s

rights and the freedom of African - Americans all over. A few of the

people she was associated with were : Elizabeth Cady Stanton ,

Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. These women

helped Ms. Mott in her journey of being an abolitionist,

they did have an impact on history but no as much of an impact

as Mrs. Lucretia Mott. Her impact on the American is greater than to be

thought of. She was a brave woman and at the young age of 21 she decided

to fight for what was right. Just because she attempted to get women their

rights and African – Americans their freedom. She fought diligently for their

freedom until that day in 1880 from anmophenea. This of course most have

effected the other reformers she worked with like- Elizabeth Cady Stanton,

Sojourner Truth, Harriet Beecher Stowe ( all were previously mentioned before)

as well as Susan B. Anthony and Julia Ward Howe.

Lucretia Mott left quite an impact on the citizens of America

if she hadn’t at least tried to abolish slavery and fight for women’s rights then

it is an strong doubt that anyone would have thought about the abolishment of

these things until much later or until it was too late altogether. Lucretia Mott tried

the best she could with the abolishment of slavery and women’s abuse and

even when slavery was abolished she kept fighting for bigger and better things.

She started to advocate the point that African – Americans should have the right to

Vote. He didn’t have to keep fighting but she did. She kept the fight up until the

The time she died. This was (as said before) a very tragic event.

America should never forget the impact she had on it. She fought for

Freedom- she fought for fairness- Mrs. Lucretia Mott fought for us.

How Stories Effect the Survial of Characters( revised version)

"Either you master the story or the story masters you.", this quote rings true in Animal Farm by George Orwell. Animal Farm by George Orwell in 1956 in England about the Russian rule at the time man named Stalin when (in all reality) a much nicer man named Trotsky was supposed to take over. In Animal Farm the way the characters master stories has a strong connection on how they survive in the story.
Characters who master the story can survive longer than those who can't die sooner. One who mastered the story in Animal Farm was Squealer. One way he mastered the story is that he always backed up Napoleons stories with "facts" ( these of course were made up facts ). Then there were times when he used he eloquence in speech to get the other animals to believe his "facts". First of all, he mastered a story when the milk was to be mixed in with the pigs slop. He said that the pigs needed the slop ( apples and milk to survive). He even told the other animals that the pigs need the milk and apples to survive and that it's for the good of the farm. Another time he mastered the story is when he lied about the hens little rebellion. He lied to the other animals and said that the hens died naturally of a horrible disease. Then he made up a disease called "coccidiliosis". Regardless of all of the lies he had spread you would think that he would have had a bad ending but actually in the end he turned out to be a powerful character that was thriving.
Now on the other hand Boxer was mastered by the story. He was mastered by the story becasuse he believed the lies that Napoleon made up. For example when Squealer and Napoleon made up the lie about how the chickens died he never questioned him once. He also was mastered by the story when Napoleon made it a nesscesity to have the mill built. He encouraged Napoleons rise to power futher when not only agreeing to help build the mill but also maiking up the motto "I will work harder". Yet another time he was mastered by the story was when he made up the motto "Napoleons always right". He made up this motto when Napoleon began to spread hislies. He encouraged this motto when Napoleon was lying about Snowball, at first Boxer didn't believe it, but that was when it was coming from Squealer. The second he heard that the rumors about why Snowball dissappered were from Napoleon he automatically believed them.
Yet another character in the story that could master a story was Napoleon. He mastered many stories by blaming the farms misfortunes on Snowball. He did this by convincing the other animals that Snowball for the destruction of the mill. Then he even blamed missing food on Snowball, he took food to make it look like there was some missing. He mastered the story yet again when Snowball got chased out. He said that Snowball was staying at a neighboring farm and that he was trading with humans. He also said that Snowball was on Jones side and that he wanted to put a stop to Animal Farm. But even if Napoleon did lie to the other animals he still ended up to be the most powerful animals at the farm because of his ability to master a story.
In Animal Farm, the ability to survive depends completely on how the characters master stories. (This is obviously true). Squealer was able to master a story and ended up thriving. Boxer couldn't and he died. Napoleon could and ended up the most powerful animal on the farm. Obviously stories hold an effect on people: " Either you master the story or the story masters you". Whether someone masters the story is a personal decision. ( and it will always remain that way.

Ms. Melvilles paragraph

Who's Responsible- animals or pigs?



The honestt way to go is to say that the animals are most responsible for the pigs rise to power. I say this because first off they allowed te pigs to push them around.They allowed Napoleon to chase Snowball out of the farm (they watched as if they couldn't do anything!). They let Napoleon take control the second Snowball was gone and didn't even question it. Another way tey let Napoleon rise to power is by letting him blame Snowball for everything bad that happened. They also used Snowball as an excuse for not getting in trouble.
The final way the animals let the pigs rise to power is by letting them use those dog as a threat.Napoleon had used the dogs as a threat when one of the animals (can't remember who) tried to reject to snowball getting cahsed out of the farm. He also used them as a threat when he walked aruond the farm- the dogs were surrounding him like body guards.So it is obviously my opinion that it i the animals fault for the pigs rise to power.

IRB log- Ms. Melville

I have to get an new Irb so I don't have anything to blog!!!!1=;>(last Irb log was Page 29

Ms Melville English

I'm reading a book called Skull Session, the author is Daniel Hetch, now it may not seem like alot for a couple months of reading, but because the print is soooooo small it takes me (because of my eyesight) an hour to read 2 pages! Anyway I'm on page 12.

   Summary of what happened (so far):

    

          A kinda poor man named Hal or Sal, something like that has a crazy thrill enjoying freind who he's very worried about, son after taking in the thought if what could happen at her next dangerous stunt ( she's always skydiving,hunting ect.) his near to ceath aunt calls asking and pretty much offering him a thousands of dollars! Will he accept??? I would give this book a 8( it would have been 10 but it has profanity in in) ):=

English Melville

      Connel, in"The Most Dangerous Game", shows how the hunted would feel in the situation of the hunter and the hunted, which leads me to believe that Connel values equality. In "The Most Dangerous Game", he showed how the hunted animal would feel while being hunted.He also had the main character feel "what it was like to be an animal being hunted." Second, he showed both sides of the story(so it was equally shown!)-liberty and its' opposite equality. He had Whitney sayhunting is best "For the hunter","not the jaguar", by making Whitney say tis he is showing equality. HEhas shown liberty by having Rainsford (back to Whitney) say "Dont talk rot Whitney.", "You're a big game hunter, not a philosopher, who cares what the jaguar feels!" Third he focused mainly on equaity. In the text he focsed mainly on equality becausehe wrote sa story like this one. He also put the main character in the shoes of the hunted, that eventually changed the main character for the better- for Equality!

Abortion for or against it?

Obama is 100% for abortion he thinks it should be legal in the U.S.A. He thinks that even if the people get pregnant on purpose and then suddenly change their mind its okay to get an abortion.
McCain thinks that it shouldn't be legal. Regardless of the circumstances unless it rape McCain thinks that it shouldn't be legal.
Now honestly, in my opinion abortion is just wrong. You kill an innocent child every time you or anyone else in that case gets an abortion. I don't see why Obama is for abortion, if you ask me if people are interested enough in making the child or don't think long enough to use protection then they should just take the responsibility of caring or at least having the child and putting him/her up for adoption.
I'm not sure what I would do in that position myself but I am hoping that I don't make the decision to have an abortion, (if I ever decide to have kids, much less get pregnant by accident!).

My question for you

Who do you think should be President of the Snited States of America?

My N..H.D project

Hi its me again, I have another project ( of course ) and it's about National History Day. We have to choose someone who changed history in the U.S., I think I'll choose.....something about womens sufferage and their right to vote, or the freedom of african americans, I still have to choose a person though- I think I'll choose Harriet Tubman or Abraham Lincoln.
This is because I like what they did in the history of slavery.

In ten years, I will be...

In ten years I will be in a veterinary college for part time vets, and a part time manga or anime artist. I probably won't be able to become a vet so I'll have to fall back on the artists career, I am pretty good if I do say so myself. The reason I want to be an artist of the Japanese animation form or in all ways is because ever since I was young I've been very interested in the Japanese culture. I find myself sitting at the amazingly small coffee table in our living room, leaving my shoes in the doorway,sitting on my feet and drinking hot tea. When I find myself doing this I can't help but think of my favorite manga. I hope that this helps me bump up on the corporate ladder, and also gain me much wealth. I hope that this is true ,it will calm my nerves if it ever happens,and will partially ease my love for the Japanese culture.

Hi everybody!

Im new at this blogging thing so just fill me in 'kay ???!!!
