time . time. time. time. time

There is alot of uncertantiy and restlessness happening at the same time. I want to fix everything , like literalllllllllllly fix everything mentally , emotionally ...physically . I think you guys think I am nuts but don't you ever feel like there is no break . ever ? When the hell is school going to end ? Why do I have to spend the majority of my life in school ? When I was 16 , I used to watch like adults go to work and I 'd pity them because you know they arent in highschool where everything is fun and allows room for mistake.  I Have never despised school in my life , I have been absent only once in my 11 years of  stay in America. I appreciated the art of learning not just from books but from conversations with friends , family and strangers.  In my life reading has had a big impact-- I am a mosaic of "most" of my favorite characters.  Reading was my stress reliever,  you know, that friend that turns that frown upside down.  But it is like "Time is making a fool of us" (Dumbledore said this ) and I cannot allocate a time or a place where I can just go to that happy place where i can just lose all my problems and instead face someone else's--with the understanding that there is an happy ending.

ID ( Governmennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnt )

          Domo was grading the Finals and said that in the multiple choice questions I scored like a 90 or something. To be honest, I did not study for that final and I depended on my common sense to choose the best answer. Anyway in class to prepare for this final we made game boards with many questions concerning every topic we have covered in class. I think this is what saved everyone it was the a " new " and fun way to study! Some of the questions asked in our board game were on the test and it was like playing the game all over again.  So I Guess you can say the test was fun. haha. That was a joke. You know because tests arent fun. Anyways some things I learned from the board game was that to elect a president the people are voting for the electoral votes because those votes actually determine the presidency. I learned that one does not need the majority popular vote win either if you have more electoral votes then you can become president . Makes you think then what is the point of  people voting ? We studied the important docuements that served as the foundation of this great nation,  The declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and The U.S Constitution.  We learned about Enlightenment thinkers , such as John Locke , Thomas Hobbes and Volatire. it was preceisly their "thoughts" that are printed and used as guideline for every citizen  in the U.S.

CRR ( Feminism )

                    When I was in 10th or 11th grade, Jaylene wanted to make a feminist club however I turned it down because my idea of feminists back then were that they were vain and unappealing. Most of the feminists I have heard of were so dramatic-- like during the suffrage movement some women were martyrs for the cause. Their methods to achieve equality for the sexes were extreme and ineffective in recruiting sympathizers.
 My perception of them changed after reading Shakespeare's " The Taming of the Shrew"  Baptista literally sold his daughters off to their husbands. Katharina was the character that gave me an insight of the unfairness happening during her time.  She rebelled against being sanctioned off for marriage, she was outspoken when she felt she was not being treated fairly and this cost her to be labeled as a shrew.  Many of Shakespeare's characters behaved like Bianca so I inferred that most women at that time were content with a male dominating society. Turns out feminism ran deep and dated back to Shakespeares time! The last factor that cleared the negative image of feminism was Petruchio's "taming" of Katharina. His behavior was worse than hers and he acted out every chance he got. However, society did not label him a shrew or make him notorious because of his behavior like they did to Katharine. This subtle gesture highlighted the unfairness between the sexes and kind of changed my mind perception of feminists.
