Personal taken pictures

Due to my masterpiece being on visual pieces I had my presentation on prezi. However, since I did it on my phone it didn't necessarily go to plan. I did not want to post each photo on my blog, yet that's what it came to.

Have you ever watched something that gets your adrenaline pumping? And at that moment you begin to fell the blood rush from your chest.  Oh, how it feels so good!

After watching the interview of Aldous Huxley, there was one thing that boldly stood out to me. That was the statement, "Overpopulation reduces freedom." You may ask why it stood out to me. The reason why it did was because it helped me make a connection with how babies were made in Brave New World. It then made perfect sense, well in my eyes, why Huxley choose to have a society in which the population is controlled by producing babies in test tubes.

Generasity, humor, achievement, progress, love, family, memories and so on are all factors of a simple smile. A simple smile can say or express so much and change a person's view and personality. It's a contagious, a domestic humor. Yet not many of us smile as much as we should. Many tend to stress on little things that they do not have much time to enjoy whatever it is that they enjoy. Every once in a while you'll hear someone complain about something, it's most likely that they are one of those people who do not take time off to relax and have a good time. Don't get me wrong, working hard truly is great but what's the point if you do not take the time off. Isn't that the point of working hard in the first place. To get ahead of others and taking a break while they try to catch up. Think of it as finishing your homework a week early. While everyone is working, you get to do whatever it is that you want. The moral is, don't spend your whole time working hard without benefits like spoiling yourself because in the end you'll just become the average person complaining about how life is harsh and never offered you opportunities. The opportunities are right in front of you, take them.

Brave New World Ch.7

I didn't get to finish chapter 7 due to the absence of classes and make up work I've been in need to make up due to this new 'sample' test. However, I do believe I got far enough in order to understand the chapter and understand what is going on by indirect characterization along with other literary elements. Bernard and Lenina stubble upon an Indian after their guide takes off. And as we all know, Indians are very traditional. It's a strange siting to Lenina because she's never seen a physical form of old age. While on the other hand, Bernard is very amused. Lenina does not understand their practices and is freaked out, she wants to go but Benard is fascinated. She questions why they are how they are and Bernard responds with the fact that they're not interested with 'modernization' of society and tend to keep up with their traditions.

It was really convenient that we began to talk about changes among our masterpieces today in class because I had thought of it last night and today in the morning. I already had something in mind and throughout the morning my brain began to put pieces together and it felt great. The reason why, was because I did not feel lost on what to do and I had an idea for where I was going. As I sat in class I began to have ideas on examples for my masterpiece. When we began to talk about masterpieces, the room felt open and I knew Dr.Preston was going to begin to call out people. I was scared, but not for myself. I was scared for David because I know the struggle he faces being called out and I had a feeling he was going to be called out. He and I know that there are a few people who have and idea but are lost and I sure knew David was going tense up and freeze if he was called on, as did he. Sure enough he was called and as I sat there listening and watching him, it came to mind that he too could be a source for my masterpiece and it also came to mind that it can help him on his problem being called upon and also get him started with his masterpiece. After class, on our daily walk to the quad, David and I discussed thoughts and ideas and I mentioned my idea on my new masterpiece topic and how it can help him as well. He agreed and believed that it was a good idea and a good way to help him out. Long story short, I've changed my topic on my masterpiece.
