Final Post

Lets get started

#1 Self Regulation. my class attendance is pretty good I have been here on time almost every day except for a few flex days but a have no access to the school's attendance so a I cant prove it but I'm sure you'r on top of it. Missed work I have missed possibly one but I haven't counted because in some of my earlier posts I mashed two into one.

 my behaviour in the class is the same in all my other classes, I find a table or a couple guys I like and watch them talk to each other and intervene at moments. I also believe that I have made a good choice by sitting at this table because these guys are very helpful we work together and if someone is lost we help them out, plus Arman and Ryan helped me log onto the computer. My strengths and weaknesses,  I have noticed that I am not good at making ideas, starting paragraphs and writing formally and I'm good at getting lost in my own head going to far into depth on one topic but if I focus hard I can get it done because I dot have anything distracting me...like a good phone. If there was one thing I could do more of is comment, I do know that class contribution is a big part and I am just not very good at writing comments going back to my weaknesses I'm not good at making things up on the spot that help other people.

#2 Quality of Communication Skills.

making reasonable predictions, this was taken from the descution of being detectives and finding clues in the novel

visual aids.  I have pictures in multiple post, here are some of them.

 

listening actively. During our class together you (Mr. Neuf) talk alot, lots of blabbing and random noise here and there not all of it makes sense but its entertaining and seem to be always listening because your talking is similar to how my brain works, it gets of topic easily and I can always hear it

#3 Contribution to the Learning Environment. While in the writing process i will stop and look back at what i have done and make changes if needed but I usually don't get them all so I print it out and have my LST teacher help with the editing because my writing doesn't make sense sometimes and she helps me with that. the one thing I did like about the comments is the conversations on different topics I was good at reading all the comments and peiceing them together to see if i was right even though most of the time I wasn't right.

Aliens 5

It was under the carpet, the first time in two weeks it was able to get itself anywhere in the house even in the walls. Craig remembered what he did last time to scare it off last time,he ran to the front closet where he found his aluminium baseball bat and tried his best to hit it but it was just to fast Craig thought to himself "it must have gotten bigger since last time". Now Craig was stomping in combination with smashing his bat on the floor, Then he stopped he could hear no sound It was quiet, Craig thinks"it must have ran off again because i don't remember hitting it" Then Craig glanced at the clock it was 11:00 o'clock then he walked into the kitchen to look at the calendar it was October 15 2140, Craig was a lucky man he had inherited his house from his Mom and Dad who had also inherited it from there parents ect so it was quite old but with all the latest technology but nothing too over the top. Craig decided it was time for bed so he got in his pajamas and fell asleep.

 The next morning the house looked different then he realized all the windows where pushed and locked into the frame and all the doors leading out side the house where mangled the hinges where ripped out and shoved in sideways and the locks where turned shut and broken "this couldn't have been done by a person, no one is that strong and machines would be to loud for me not to hear"  there seemed no clear way out of the house, Craig went into his kitchen to get his cell phone and call the police, and while he called he walked into his living room where he was fighting the carpet thing. He noticed his bat in the middle of the floor and the second he picked it up a baby Xenomorph came out of the carpet, and in reflex Craig screamed threw the bat and ran off the bat hit the alien in the head and it stopped moving but Craig didn't care he ran back into his kitchen.

cowering behind the island Craig waited for any kind of movement or sound but heard nothing, then he remembered his phone was in the other room calling the police. Craig rushed into living room wielding a kitchen knife and confronted with nothing but a ripped carpet hole, Craig looked for his phone but couldn't find it he looked around a bit more and still couldn't find it. Craig picked up the bat went to put the bat away and when he opened up the closet he was surprised to find all his jackets coats and sweater where gone and an open stainless steel hatch leading down that was hidden under his hardwood floors, Craig tried to close it but it would budge he decided to go get dressed and eat breakfast.

As Craig was upstairs in his room getting dressed when he heard heavy footsteps coming from downstairs, he was scared so he didn't move and heard the footsteps in the dinning room, then the den, into the kitchen and coming up the stairs. Craig stood very still and could hear the alien growling and drooling, it stopped right in front of Craig's bedroom door, Craig watched as the doorknob slowly turned and the door swung open. The last thing He saw was a tall, black, skeletal creature starring strait into Craig eyes.

Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring..."Hello you have reached the answering machine of...name not given...please leave a message at the tone". "Uh hello (sigh) i know your busy right now but you need to come down to... well you know where, there has been a contamination in our testing, its gone horribly wrong it seems that the creatures escaped there captivity. We are staring cleanup right now but patient Zero has been lost and we need your guidance..(sigh) goodbye...(click)

Short story Elemennts

Major Elements of Short Story By JeremyJohansson
1) plot
-introduction- the intro is when our main man is thinking to him self about the scenery and of what to do.
-conflict- the conflict here is, Man v.s Man, and the two men are the boy arguing with the Jamaican guy to change the bet and while the bet is happening. 
-rising action-  when Carlos meets the boy and they start talking about his lighter.
-climax- When the old Jamaican guy has the boys hand strapped to the table ready to chop his finger off while the boy is lighting his lighter.
-falling action-  When the woman comes in the room and interrupts there bet.
-conclusion-  at the end when He thinks "I can see it now, that hand of hers; it had only one finger on it, and a thumb." When he sees the woman.
2) Character
- protagonist- an example of the main character is the guy who buys a beer and chills by the pool because we see the story through his eyes.
- antagonist- In this occasion the antagonist is our main character having to watch as Carlos is about to chop this kids finger off.
-static - I think the main character in the story is a static character because he is just along for the ride and has no input on the matter.
-round- the woman that busts into the room while there bet is happening and she seems like just a sweet lady with Carlos problem, then you see her hand and then you realize that she is the betting type.
- flat-  the flat character in this story is the English girl because she has one or two lines and she didn't like the bet and never will, so she never changes characteristics.
- stock character- Carlos your regular stereotypical rich Jamaican drug lord
- dynamic- I think the boy is the one that actually changes the most  he goes form not want to bet to let his pinky finger  be chopped off in order to possibly win a car.
3) Setting
-atmosphere- at first it starts off as a nice warm place then later on it turns into like a shady underground sort of deal
-time- the story says 6:00 o'clock while the sun is going down.
- place- the story is set in Jamaica because the old guy is Italian, Jamaican and it says so in the story.
4) Theme- I think the theme of this story is don't get involved with crazy rich Jamaican people
5) Point of View
-first person- This perspective is used in this story by our nameless main character because he refers to himself as "I" and not his name.
-third person N/A 
6) Foreshadowing- When the old man says "I never ask you, my friend, to bet something you cannot afford. You understand?" he is foreshadowing that he is gong to ask for something out of the ordinary.

Summative Essay

         To walk a mile in someone's shoes, at a literal standpoint it seems quite easy as long as you can walk a mile and your feet fit the other persons shoes. For me it would be quite challenging because I wear size 12 shoes and then trying to squeeze into size 8 and a half I think after that mile I would have giant blisters instead of feet. Enough about that this is supposed to be about the real meaning of "to walk a mile in someone's shoes" which is to see something through someone's eyes whether it's yourself, a song or anything else someone would have an opinion on.

         Lets start off with "Romeo and Juliet," to me this movie, play, book, whatever it is will always remind me of the Movie "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick, and its not because of  the elevator scene or REDRUM but how nobody really knows what its truly about. So I will skip the part where I tell you "Romeo and Juliet" "its about being friends with everyone" or "it's about some random prison break in WWII" So I'll get straight into it. Paris is a well known person who has a lot of money and is basically royalty without the title. But he is like your stereotypical creepy uncle Tom because you don't really know where he lives and shows up to all your party's and hides in your house during Easter. But during the end of the story he goes to visit Juliet's dead body and brings flowers and then you the viewer/ reader think to your self maybe this guy is't so bad after all, and then he goes and gets himself killed next to Juliet because maybe he did actually love her in not a creepy uncle Tom way and maybe he was acting that way because he was nervous about marrying a 13 year old girl.

        "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time," This book is about walking in Chris's shoes because Chris is autistic and we are not (by "we" I mean in our class) so we get to take a walk a not so wild side full of logic, maths and finding a dog murderer. First of all he is writing a book for school but he is writing it in first person and along the way he tells us how he goes along his day and how he tells if its a good day or a black day. For most people a good day happens when good things happen to them like, you find free money, sleep in, or just hanging out with your friends and the same goes for bad days except everything is bad like, waking up sore, losing money or crashing your car and being stuck with people you don't like.

walking in someone's shoes is a great way to get to know someone or it could not be great, but then you know something about that person that you didn't want to know and it messes up your whole friendship (and vice versa). There are always ups and downs to every scenario so do everyone a solid and stay out of other peoples business to avoid all the negative effects of walking in someone's shoes.

Who Killed the Carpet Dog

        I know Mrs.Alexander killed the dog and I have the cold hard facts to bring this old person to justice. She keeps tabs on everyone in the neighbourhood she knows everything about everyone and that just her thing's, she likes the drama and hopes to stir the pot a bit by killing the dog.

         Now since this is an old person with lots of free time but limited life time she probably spends it gardening or cleaning or baking cookies. Chris has caught her gardening before so I'm willing to bet that before she killed the dog she went over to Mrs. Shears house to chat in her garden about plants. Then they would later migrate back inside the house to have tea giving Mrs. Shears no time to lock up the one tool she was using, and that one tool she was using was nothing other than...the pitchfork! The very same tool used to kill Wellington.I assume the time of the murder would be midnight so no one would be around, I would also think she knows about Chris's night walk patterns which are at approximately 3 or 4 in the morning so she would be safe and unseen while murdering the dog with the pitchfork.

         The red herring is harder to find for Mrs.Alexander. Since this is an old lady you would think she wouldn't have the physical capability to shove a pitchfork through a fully grown poodle.while you might be right she probably doesn't but when she went to go kill  Wellington Mrs. Alexander tripped over her own dog and stabs Wellington and almost makes it look like an accident. This benefits her plan because she underestimates her own strength and tripping allowed her to murder the dog with ease


          The last big thing is when Chris went to ask Mrs.Alexander questions about Wellington and she started to chat to Chris which lead her to get tea and biscuits to bring outside. Mrs.Alexander didn't invite Chris inside her house for the tea she insisted on brining it out side. Is she hiding something like her bloody clothes and shoe prints? This seems suspicions since old people are often lonely and regularly invite people inside there homes.


Mrs.Alexander killed Wellington because of her addiction to real life drama, and we can this is true because she knows lots about any given person who live in there neighbourhood.

I am the Egg Man

there was no music video or lyrics video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x5NCDYB1Lc

I choose this song because it reminds me of hanging out with my friends and just having fun. Its really about a bunch of guys acting like kids throwing eggs at people riding around town throwing eggs at people out of a car, That's the kind of things  I like to do but i have never actually thrown an egg at some one but hopefully you catch my drift.

now the lyrics
Ahh, yeah
I looked out the window seen his bald head
Ran to the fridge and pulled out an egg
Scoped him with my scopes, he had no hair
Launched that shot and he was caught out there
Saw the convertible driving by
I loaded up the slingshot, let one fly
He went for his to find he didn't have one
Put him in check, correct, with my egg-gun
The egg, a symbol of life
I go inside your house and bust out your wife
I pulled out the jammy, he thought it was a joke
The trigger, I pulled - his face, the yolk
Reached in his pocket, took all his cash
Left my man standing with the egg mustache
Suckers, they come a dime a dozen
"When I say dozen, you know what I'm talkin' about, boy"

Yeah, that's right, I'm the Egg Man, driving around
King of the town (yeah)
Always got my windows rolled down
Ready to throw
You know, I'm the Egg Man

Once upon a time
Egg Man…

Humpty Dumpty was a big fat egg
He was playing the wall, then he broke his leg
Tossed it out the window, three minutes hot
Hit the Rastaman, he said, (Bloodclot!)
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
I egged the chicken, and then I ate his leg
Riding the trains, in between cars
When I pull out the station, You're Gonna Get Yours
Drive-by eggings, plaguing LA
"Yo, you just got my little cousin, ese!"
Sometimes hard-boiled, sometimes runny (Ray)
Comes from a chicken, not a bunny, dummy
People laugh, it's no joke
My name's "Yauch" and I'm throwing the yolk
"Now they got me in a cell," but I don't care
It was then that I got caught catching people out there

Up on the roof, in my car, up all night
I'm going through science like Dolemite
The Mack… Who?
I'm the Egg Man… Taxi driver?
I'm the Egg Man
Egg Man, Egg Man

We all dressed in black, we snuck up around the back
We began to attack, the eggs did crack on Haze's back
Sam I am, down with the program
Green eggs and ham, Yosemite Sam
Come Halloween, you know I come strapped
I throw it at a sucker… "k-pap"
You made the mistake and judge a man by his race
You go through life with egg on your face
Woke up in the morning, peculiar feeling
Looked up and saw egg dripping from the ceiling
The family, punk rocks, the businessman
I'll dog everybody with the egg in my hand
It's not like the crack that you put in a pipe
But crack on your forehead; here's a towel, now wipe

Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man
Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man
Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man...
Egg Man...

Mercutio the funny guy

         Mercutio is a large part of the Romeo and Juliet story and gets killed of fairly early on in the story. while he was alive he contributed greatly to the story and has created a large reputation for being one of the most favorite characters.

          Mercutio is in fact a funny guy believe it or not. He seems to always have something witty to say in any scenario such as, "If love be rough with you, be rough with love/ Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down."(I,iv,523). or convince people of whatever he wants, like making romeo go to the party and later fight for him. Mercutio is a party animal he loves dancing shaking around getting down its his way of life and that's why people love him its for his energetic silly personality.

          Mercutio is not a Montague or a Capulet he is part of a family and related to the prince still is friends with Romeo and his family and acts like a big brother to them and by that I mean he looks out for them and steps up if there getting bullied, which he dose and that gets him killed.
 "Romeo:And so, good Capulet,—which name I tender/ As dearly as my own,—be satisfied. / Mercutio: Ocalm, dishonourable, vile submission! /Alla stoccata carries it away. 
[Draws] 
Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk"(III,i,1571)
           Near the beginning of the story when Juliet's parents are having a party Mercutio has the bright idea to go and take all his friends with him and because he is not part of the families he can bring anyone he wants. That's where Romeo finds Juliet and forgets every thing about Rosaline."Romeo: What lady is that, which doth enrich the hand."(I,v,662) Now everything goes downhill from here, more fights happen, Romeo and Juliet get married to young and the same day Mucutio dies, Romeo killed Tybalt and gets banished, Juliet's parents fight and finally Romeo and Juliet kill themselves and it all could have been avoided  if Mercutio didn't drag every one to the party.

           Mercutio is an amazing character in this story and deserves the credit that he has. Mercutio has propelled the story very well and smoothly for the amount of time he was in it and made lots of people laugh .
