On-Self Reliance Part 3

While we continued reading “on-self reliance” essay I took some notes and this what I understood:
“Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind”. He believes that everyone is fundamentally good, that everyone is the same but it not like that. If you want to do something it more meaningful if you have a purpose to why you are doing, don’t just do it for it to make you look good have a purpose to it. People who are not being true to themself they want to act good. I don’t just want to exist but actually live. Just be you and do things that make you happy, believe in you! People will look at you funny or give you a weird look if they don’t understand what you just said. A lot of the time we like to make people fit in but they just don’t fit in, we do it just to not make them feel less. Why are people not true to what they say? Is it that they just say it just to make them look good?

On-Self Reliance Part 2

While we continued reading “on-self reliance” essay I took some notes and this what I understood:
You don’t know what you can do until you try! A choice determines what we see. A lot of people think that if you don’t do anything to make something possible it will come to them easy but sadly it’s not like that. If you have something you want to accomplish please do so don’t question or ask yourself if you will be able to accomplish it work for it and best believe you will do it. It better to be honest then lying and making them feel a certain way. What is it that makes people afraid to be in school or anywhere around? Is it the way they are treated? The way they act?

First Impression On-Self Reliance

My first impression on the essay “On-self Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson is that when Emerson said “ 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”, it’s basically like saying we are given permission. 

So This Guy Goes For A Walk

The story "The Pedestrian" is about a man walking and getting stopped by a police man and being questioned a lot. As he was heading home he noticed that the streets were lonely, no one was outside it was quiet and peaceful. You realize how the world can change in a blink of an eye within seconds for a better or for a worst. Things you thought are normal for you can possibly not be normal to those in these generations. Now just imagine getting pulled over by a police man for walking late night, I see nothing wrong with that for others it can be bad. Imagine you wanting to go out for a walk and seeing a policeman you can be afraid if even going out thinking it’s trouble or something. Now days policeman do abuse over those who have the right to do things or being prohibited things. You don’t even know what’s right or what wrong.

Let Me Walk You Through The Pedestrian

     The perspective in how people see things before and now are so different. Now all you see is people being on a electronic device, playing games having fun, before there were people who just had fun playing outside. Technology is what is mostly used now, even younger kids have the use of technology not only for school or anything school associated but for the use of social media.

      The tone in this short story is very quiet and lonely due to only one character being introduced. In the story it said that the character Leonard Mead lived alone, enjoyed his time alone going on long walks and had no jobs. Although Leonard Mead was described as a man who was passionate about enjoying his late night walks alone and he also had a different perspective in how he saw the world. This also makes me feel or think that due technology people will be lonely and will depend more on the technology then going out and having fun with friends. Adding to that it’s also sad to say people let technology take over there life.

     Bradbury’s tone is also filled with anger because he got stopped by a police for no reason. It showed us that what those policeman were doing was wrong because they are just arresting an innocent man. I have a feeling the message he is wanting to give us is that we need to stand up for ourselves when we need to or when we are being out down for things we weren’t capable of causing or doing. This story was basically about a single character with no humans around him.
   
     The main point/ plot of this story is that Leonard Mead is the guy who randomly has late night walks. The way Mead reacted about the police car shows how not everyone has the same point of view that a person sees thing being done. If a different behavior is being used that obviously the outcome would have came out differently maybe more aggressive. He then realized what the use of technology has done, it has made people depend more on the technology. If nothing is being done to remove it or prevent it then best believe it will worsen.

     Overall, the tone of this story does not change through the story. Technology has a big impact in today’s society. It makes either have a good access to it or not because it stops you from having interactions with people, use of technology has you basically on social media. The use of technology is overpowering the community. For others taking a walk late night can be scary but for Mead it is just something he does daily. Our generation has gone from enjoy a beautiful day outside to just being stuck up on your electronic device.

Story Of My Life

An event in my life that I can turn into a short story is when I went on a road trip to Mexico. This road trip took about 26 hours. Yes, I understand it does seem long but once your on the road it goes by fast. I love having to go on road trips to Mexico because we pass through so many places. I love getting to travel and see new places I've never been too. Travelling has always been something I enjoy doing. In this Trip I got to eat so many food such as tacos, mariscos, and roasted chicken. I had such a great time in Mexico enjoying my few days with all my family. The sad part is having toleave and going back to visit every year.

How To Get Along Online

Three things on how to have a good conversation online can be :

• Asking questions, getting to know each other. Telling each other facts and just building up a friendship. 
• Mentioning things you both dislike or like, try to find things in common.
• Start with something small what I mean is a a small conversations and as the days go by increasing the time in texting. Make the conversation interesting.
