IRJE#4 – How Things Make People Feel

The DaVinci Code, by Dan Brown is the book I have been reading for a while now. It is about a symbologist named Robert Langdon, who meets a cryptographer named Sophie Neveu at the Louvre museum in Paris when they are investigating a strange murder. The person who was murdered left a code and arranged his body in a particular way that meant something to Langdon and Sophie, But no one else. Them discovering and deciphering the code entangled them in a dispute between the Priory of Son and Opus Dei over a possibility of a child.

Telling someone about what a symbol “meant” was like telling them how a song should make them feel – it was different for all people (p.35).

This quotation symbolises and reminds us of perspective, and how everybody has a different one. Everybody looks at a situation differently, but it also makes us think about the other part of perspective, that everybody views the same thing differently. 100 people can listen to the same song, and if you give them enough describing words to use, each person will probably have a different description of what the song meant to them, and how it made them feel. Same thing with paintings, and symbols.

IRJE #4 – Lies

I am reading Lies by Michael Grant. Its the third book in the Gone Series. This series is about if one day, all the people over 15 disappeared. In this book there is a character named Drake Merwin and he is a complete psychopath. Later in the book when he came into contact with the main character of the story, Sam, his arm was burned off by him. Unfortunately this lead to him getting a ‘whip hand’ from a dark force. And Drake became even worse. Later in the book Sam (the main character) was confronting Drake for doing something bad. However, in that certain time and place they where in a Nuclear plant and if Sam resisted Drake he would wipe out the entire FAYZ with uranium. So for a long period of time, Sam was useless while Drake hit him so hard his skin spit open and he was bleeding a lot leaving him traumatized. And when Sam’s brother Caine, finally buried Drake, along with the uranium, Sam was able to put himself a ease. However, eventually Sam found out that he was alive, he was panicking.

But he had endured. And he’d lived through the next nightmarish hours, the
morphine hallucinations, the staggering, stumbling, needing-to-scream hours.
He had fought Drake again, but it was Caine who had finally killed the
psychopath. Caine had thrown Drake down a mine shaft that then collapsed on Drake’s
head. Nothing could have survived.
And yet, Drake was alive.
He’d coped since that day by knowing that Drake was dead, buried under tons of
rock, dead, gone, never to be faced again. That fact had let him cope.
But if Drake was unkillable . . .
Immortal . . . (p. 305)

Fear can change a person for the worse. In this text fear turned the strongest and most fearless person in the FAYZ into a mess who was terrified of everything.

IRJE #4 – Make Your Next Shot Your Best Shot

In the book Make Your Next Shot Your Best Shot by Dr Bob Rotella, it stresses the idea of anyone can be great if you want to be. He talks about the idea of people putting in the effort and exceeding while if you don’t believe in yourself you aren’t going anywhere. To reach your best potential you need to surround yourself with people who support you and believe in you. If your coach told you at you could just be good or you could be ok…. would you believe in yourself then? Finding people who believe in you and can help you become great is so important.

“I only think you’re delusional if you’re thinking you’re going to be successful in your quest without a work ethic, belief, discipline, persistence, or patience (p. 41).”

This quotes stresses the idea of putting in the effort. No great athlete became great without practice, practice and more practice. If you keep pushing and practicing everyday it will eventually come. Sometimes it will take weeks, months or even years but you just have to be patient. Greatness takes time.

 

IRJE #3 – Picking Daisies on Sundays

Picking Daisies on Sundays by Liana Cincotti is a friends-to-lovers romance novel. The story starts with Daniella, known as ‘Daisy’ who is a hopeless romantic finding herself near the end of college. She enters into a fake relationship with her childhood best friend, and first love named Levi. They initially enter the fake relationship for convenience, but slowly realize they have deeper feelings for eachother.

Being with you is like coming home after a long journey. I’d forgotten the feeling of comfort and certainty you bring. It’s as if every Sunday, we were just picking up where we left off, each petal a memory, each laugh a promise of something more.

This statement represents the comfort between the characters, and how they trust and rely on eachother. “Coming home” represents that they find safety, and belonging when they’re with eachother. Throughout the book they switch perspectives, giving a viewpoint on each characters emotions and thought process.

Overall, the story reminded me that sometimes love can feel like a journey, where past feelings and new experiences collide. It made me think about second chances, and how important it is to be honest to have a true connection with another person.

IRJE #3 The Boy in the Stripped Pijamas

The Boy in The Stripped Pijamas is a book thats based on world war II,  where the an 8 year old living in Berlin to take residence near a concentration camp, witch his father was just going to be the commandant.

? John Boyne, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

This quotes meaning is that Bruno and Shmuel are from different worlds, Shmuel was jewish and Bruno was the son of a Nazi, more specific the son of the concentration camp commandant.  So Brunos dad is all against jewish people witch exactly Shmuel happens to be jewish, that is why Bruno bruno says they aren’t supposed to be friends they are men’t to be enemies, because all of the bad things brunos dad has told him about jewish people.

PW #3 Ballet

I have a love hate relationship with Ballet, i have been doing ballet since i was 4 years old. I have always loved the music, the beautiful costumes, everything. I have always seen ballet as a beautiful classic and elegant dance style, when i was little i always admire the big girls in my dance academy, for the recitals they used big tutus and point shoes, the point shoes where the thing that i was exited the most. Everything is easier at the beginning and keeps getting harder throughout you go forward to it, learning the dances, every move , the names of the song and exercises its very difficult,  and its worse when you see the teacher as your biggest enemy, always pushing you harder to make more difficult things every time, compare you to other classmates, always making you feel less. Every time class got hard i wanted to quit but i remembered how beautiful  the big girls dance with their point shoes and tutus, so i kept going, i pushed my self very hard, put in extra effort until i finally was at a level to get them, my first impression of them wasn’t that good because the first thing i had to do was sew every single ribbon onto the point shoe, it was very hard learning to sew, i pinched my self with the needle in various occasions, my fisrt time using them was horrible, so painful but the teacher said it was because it was the first time i was using them, and as time goes by ill shape them. i kept using them for 2 years and those where the worst years in ballet of my life, i went two classes a week 2 hours, it was so painful, having blisters every time, always  being so tired, with muscular pain everywhere. so this June after after the recital i choose it was going to be my last ballet recital for a while.

Pip finds out the rest of the story and discovers and bell in the addict of Elliots old home where he had been keeping her but pip believes it’s not Andie.

Master and Man Introduction

Master man by Leo Tolstoy, I really don’t like the book of Master Man. In my opinion, this story was burning. First, I didn’t like the story; it wasn’t interesting. I think this novel was huge. I try to concentrate on the story, but all the story is mixed; anything is happening at the same time. Nikita always discusses alcohol and his alcoholic problems. For me, Vasily is too selfish.

My introduction

Hi, My name is Diego, and I am 14 years old. I was born on September 3rd, 2024. I am from Guadalajara, Mexico. We are 4 in my family. When I was little, I lived some years in Mexico City When I turn 3 years old, we move to Guadalajara, where all my family is from. Then my brother was born when I was 3 years old. Last year I moved to my new house. We get another dog; we already have 3, and now I have 4. The races of the 4 dogs are Golden Retriever, Goldendoodle, French Pound, and another with no race.

M&M personal response

After reading Master and Man, I quite think overall it is a very good story, But I personally struggle a lot to follow it because I don´t understand it very well, the vocabulary that Leo Tolstoy uses in the story was a little difficult for me to understand, I usually get the plot of the story in which the man named Vasili Andreevich and Nikita, his servant get into a journey and get lost when trying to arrive to a town, for me it was really boring that most of the story is about both geting lost along with their horse, during all the story I tried to catch up and try to see character development in both characters, that was the only thing I founded interesting during all the story.

IRJE#4 – Five Survive

Five survive, by Holly Jackson, is about 6 friends who are taking a road trip for spring break and on their road trip they got lost, they took a turn and ended up in a dead end forest road. While they were trying to turn around they popped one tire, which they figured out and fixed easily. Once they got back in the RV that they were driving for spring break, turned around, and all four tires went out. This means they were stranded and they had no cell service. They went out to check it out, and the gas tank was also leaking, someone had shot at the RV.

Simon scoffed. ‘Sure, just a misunderstanding. There’s a sniper out there with a high-powered rifle and a laser sight who’s decided to use us as target practice. But yeah, just a misunderstanding.’ He’d changed his tone. (p.70)

In this quotation Simon (one of the 6 friends) is responding to one of his friends who says that maybe this person thought they were someone else and they didn’t mean to shoot at them. In this quotation he is being very sassy towards his friend and saying sarcastically that what his friend said was very wrong.

Personal response to “Our Town”

The play “Our Town” was a really nice play, I really enjoyed watching it, I liked more watching it that reading it, because when reading it I really could not understand it very clear, while watching the play it was really confusing when actor used imaginary objects, but I liked that because it really makes you think and analyze the situation of the play using our own imagination and creativity. Although is not my favorite type of books I think it is a really nice play that is worth watching it, The actors did an amazing job, their expressions and body language in acting was very accurate to the character played, also I was really surprise because of the different type of narrator, as he could talk and interact with actors, I think is really cool that the stage manager was a real part of the play, overall I give the play a 7 out of 10, for me it was boring at the very start, and I would change a little the houses layout because for me it was difficult to understand what scene was, But I like how this play requires and makes you have a critical thinking and see and understad life in many different perspective, in this case on people in a different time.

PW# 4How traveling makes me happy

I love to travel, in my family it is one of our favorites things ever, I love to travel with my parents and my sister, in all my 14 years of life my parent have given me the opportunity no visit a lot of places and I am really grateful for that, I can say that we travel a lot and that makes me really happy, Me and my family love to visit new countries, new cultures, landscapes, traditions, try new food, history, and a lot of things, my favorite destinations so far have been, London, Paris, Greece and Italy, some day I would like to visit Dubai, Bali or the Maldives and also I would like to visit more of Italy, specially the Amalfi coast because of Italy I have only Visit Rome and Venice, Italy is one of my favorite countries, I love how beautiful it is, the food is very good and I love the language, I have family on Rome and I would really like to learn Italian, I basically love Europe, but I place I can visit a 100 times and never get tired of it is Cartagena, a very beautiful city in Colombia, I like it because it is really colorful and it just give me happiness, the sunsets are incredible and the food is amazing, I go normally every year.

PW#3 How my friends became family

Since I was a little kid I have always appreciate my friends really much, I consider myself a very friendly girl, I like to talk a lot and make new friends, I know my 2 best friends since I was little, I have grown up with them, I have known them for 7 to 8 years ago, we have always been together in the classroom, we have become like sisters, this is my first year ever without them, I love my school in Colombia.

IRJE #3 Twilight: New Moon

Twilight: New Moon is the second book in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. The story starts with Bella Swan being sad because her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen left. Edward leaves Bella because he wanted to protect her from the dangers of his world, leaving her so sad. Bella struggles to keep up with her life after Edward leaving, so she finds support with Jacob Black who is his friend since she was little. As Bella is with Jacob, she discovers that he is a werewolf (the werewolf’s are the rivals of the vampires). Bella and Jacob develop a strong bond, but Bella is still in love with Edward.

“You know that I love you. I’ve loved you for a long time. But I can’t keep pretending that I don’t. I can’t keep pretending that I don’t want you.”

The quotation is about Jacob telling Bella how he fells about her but Bella begins to take bad risks, hoping that by doing them, Edward might return to save her, and when she is in danger she fells a connection with him. Then Bella is faced with a really bad situation, and this makes Edward believe that she has died. This makes Edward travel to Italy to talk to Volturi (a powerful vampire coven), into killing him. Bella, with Jacob’s help, went to save him, and this end up with a big fight. In the end, Edward and Bella are reunited, but the book ends by Bella still confused between her love for Edward and the friendship with Jacob, this makes us think that in the next book there will be fight between Edward and Jacob.

IRJE 3

The Lord of the flies by William Golding

The lord of the flies is a amazing book that talks about the dark side to humanity it is very interesting as well as very depressing. The story line of the book is about a group of British boys that are stranded on on a  deserted island they try to start there own society and make there own rules however it gets hard because there is no adults there and the kids start to become violent and brutal.

“Maybe there is a beast maybe it’s only us.”

This quote is very deep and means a lot it is trying to say that the boys did believe in the beast but that the beast is actually the evil in each one of them this has lots of sense to it and is a very wise quote. I suggest to read this book if you enjoy sad and intense plots.

IRJE #3 – Archie S

The book is called “Lebron James life lessons from the king”.

The book is written by Brian boone. It is about Lebron James and how he grew up as well as worked extremely hard to achieve his dreams of becoming a professional basketball player. Lebron James now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers and is now a very successful athlete.

 “Greatness is defined by how much you want to put into what you do.”

 I chose this quote because it always motivates me too. It tells me that laziness is not an option and I need to push as hard as I can if I want to get somewhere. The more you work, the higher the reward. If you don’t want to put in the work, then you shouldn’t expect and reward.

PW #4 – Survivor

One of my favourite shows ever is Survivor. I have many favourites but Survivor is definitely at the top of the list. The show is kind of hard to explain because there are so many different concepts involved. But what basically happens is that they are split into tribes with various others members. They usually will have 18 people overall and 3 tribes of 6. Each episode they compete in challenges and whichever teams comes last has to go to something called Tribal Council. They go here at night and they have to vote someone off of their tribe. Whichever person has the most votes is gone. The game does become interesting when advantages get played like idols, block/steal a vote, Safety without power etc. I love this show because it always keeps me interested. There has been 47 seasons so far and I continue to watch and rewatch them. The show is hosted by someone named Jeff Probost and he has ran the show from the start. He runs tribal, the challenges and is basically in-charge of the whole show. Survivor is on every Wednesday night so I always stay up to watch it.

PW #4 – By Archie

My personal writing is about the time that I went to California. I went on vacation to San Jose and San Francisco in May. Me and my family did so many fun things.

First off, we went to California’s Great America, which is one of the coolest amusement parks I have ever been to. I went on a massive rollercoaster, which is one of the oldest in the park. It is called the Grizzly, and it was made in 1986. The ride had a massive drop on it which felt like we were going 100 kilometers an hour down a completely vertical drop from what felt like a 100 feet high. This was definitely one of the main highlights of my trip.

Another really cool memory was when we ordered a self-driving taxi. This car was called “Waymo”, and it drove and navigated around San Francisco completely on its own, which was such a cool but scary experience at the same time. It felt really weird completely putting our lives in the hands of technology, but it was still very cool and futuristic.

The last highlight of my trip was buying new basketball shoes. The shoes I bought were called “Ja Morant 1”. They are the signature shoes of a professional NBA player named Ja Morant. I purchased these in Footlocker, and I still wear them to this day.

Overall, I have created so many memories, visiting museums, the San Francisco landmark Golden Bridge, eating yummy food, and enjoying beautiful weather with my family. I hope to come back one day!

PW#4 What I Would do If I Was Stuck In The Desert

If I was someday stuck In the desert, I would probably try walking for as long as I possibly could before dark, and then I would dig as much of a hole as possible with my hands, given that I am mostly certain I wouldn’t be stuck in the desert with a shovel. After that, I would go in the hole that I have made, bury myself in the sand for as much warmth as sand can give you. Then I would try to sleep through the whole night without freezing to death or having some deadly snake or animal bite-me or even kill me-while I’m asleep. If morning came around and if I was still in one piece, I would try to find some dead bushes, sticks, or rocks to start a fire to single, hopefully, some plane or aircraft flying above my head to notice that I’m stranded. Hopefully, the person that notices me will be nice enough to save me and not just leave me to die. After that, I would try to find some sort of food that, hopefully once again won’t kill me. I would also try to find a big rock to use as a gravestone to put at my head in case I feel like I am starting to die, I would write my name on it with the blood of a nearby animal so that if, someone would discover my dead body, they would at least know who it was. Nevertheless, of course, this whole scenario of ever getting stuck in the dessert is hypothetical-hopefully, but again, this could happen to anyone; you never know.

IRJE #3- The Unteachables

The Unteachables by Gordon Korman, is a humorous and sweet novel that follows a group of middle school misfits and their unconventional teacher. The story follows the students of room 117, a class of students that have been named “unteachable” by their school. Each student is dealing with struggles or behavioral issues, from an obsessions with video games to bad attitudes or academic struggles. The class is led by Mr. Korman, a teacher who hates his life has been assigned to teach room 117 as his last job before retirement. The class calls him “Mr. Kermit” just like the frog. As the story goes on, Mr. Korman starts to connect with the students, discovering their unique talents and personalities.

“Justice and fairness aren’t, and never will be apart of the social studies curriculum; you know their building blocks of our entire society. Just because you’ve got anger management problems doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to be ticked off about. Let me tell you about spirit.” (p. 42)

This quotation said by Mr. Korman, to the class after the principal came to tell the class they cant go on the field trip, because of their behavior. Mr. Korman is acknowledging that while concepts like justice and fairness may not always be taught, they are essential principles for society to function.

 

 

PW#4 Prince Cucumber

After the tragic death of his father King Pickle, Prince Cucumber was unsure what to do. He had not yet been pickled and there was no time to waste, with the dragons being the only creatures left in the kingdom besides his loyal cucumbers, everyone was in danger. The process of being pickled happens when the cucumber next in line for the throne is pickled and becomes king. The dragons had wreaked havoc on his kingdom and were terrifying the people. The only thing he could think to do at this time was to call upon his neighboring, and much more technologically advanced kingdom, the kingdom of kabbage, pronounced KUH-BAH-JE. Which was ruled by his mortal enemy King Aubergine. King Aubergine was always starting conflicts which thankfully up until now Prince Cucumbers kingdom had been safe from because of the dragons that had been protecting them. Once he explained the situation to his fellow king, the kingdom of Kabbage flew in a large glass dome to protect against the flying dragons. The solution worked well enough for a while, until people started to worry about oxygen. But the kingdom didn’t even come close to running out of oxygen before they were struck by a bigger problem. The dragons were now flaming their dome, and the glass was trapping all of the heat inside and making it unbearably hot! So he called upon his friend, King Pomme De Tato, who had his army lift the dome immediately to save the people, and decided to do the only fair thing which was to train the dragons and use them. But that didn’t work and many people died so they gave up and shot them down, and ate them for dinner along with a nice salad.

PW#4 Places I have been to

I actually have not been to a lot of places but I wish I could go to more places because I would love to travel to a lot of places. Some places I have already been to are places on México because I live there so like Cancun, CDMX, Guadalajara, Chapala, Vallarta, Tapalpa, and more.

There are so more places I would like to go because I want to travel around the world, I want to visit places that are new to me and I want to see all the different culture people have. If I have the opportunity I will do those trips because is something that not many people do so having does experiences are really amazing.

IRJE #3- The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is set in the 1950s and is narrated by a young man, Holden Caufield. Holden makes it clear that he is undergoing treatment at a mental hospital after having had a rough life. Holden suffers from borderline personality disorder, which is a condition identified by an extended period of emotional irregularity. The events he narrates take place a few days between the end of the fall school term and Christmas when he is sixteen years old.

“Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You’re by no means alone on that score; you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now.”  (p. 208-209)

This quotation is said by Mr. Antolini, who is the antagonist of the book and Holden’s former teacher. He explains this to Holden, saying he is not alone in his feeling of disgust for human behaviour, but many people have shared the same honesty about the culture they live in. Holden goes to Mr. Antonili because he feels he can trust and confide in his former teacher, however, this is the event that precipitates his breakdown. He is left unsettled and unsure.

Pw#4 : The golf course

Last weekend I went to play golf to Olympic View with Mia Mishell, Sofi, and Eva. First we wait for Mia and Eva because they were not ready to go. We wait for them like 1 hour. Next we go to the stop, and we cannot take the bus because it has already left. The next stop is going to arrive like in an hour, so we decide to take an Uber. We wait for the Uber like have an hour, and when the Uber finally arrives, the surprise is that it was all dirty with Cheetos in the floor with a nasty smell. When we were like 100 meters away from arriving, the Uber told us that he was going to charge us more money, so we tell him to stop and leave us in an hour so we decide to take an Uber we wait the Uber like have an hour and when the Uber finely arrive the surprise was that It was all dirty with Cheetos in the floor with a nasty smell, When we were like a 100m to arriving the Uber tell us that he was going to charge us more money so we tell him to stop and leave us in. the road, then we walk like 15m to get to the golf course, so we enter the golf shop to make the reservation, and they give us the reservation for the golf course at 2:18pm, and it was 1:20, so we went to eat at the club restaurant. I ordered pasta and a crème Brulé, and when we finished, we went to play some holes. In the first one I didn’t hit the ball correctly, so I tried another time, and the second one was better; the second one I hit the ball perfectly. We played 4 holes because we needed to come back before 6 p.m. because at that hour was our curfew to stay in the street, so we waited for the Uber to come.

PW#1: Why I Want To Be a Doctor

I still remember and my parents always remember me that since I was a little kid my biggest dream when I a grew up, was to be a doctor, throughout my life I have always admired the entire area of science, specially biology. I feel that is one of my biggest qualities, one of the things I like the most and I am good at doing them. And thats why I feel I why I feel I will be a great doctor, and just not in knowledge because I admire doctors every day because they put a lot of effort and study into their career and how they put our lives before theirs. I have the intentions to help people through my knowledge and be willing to do everything in my power to help someone else life and give happiness and hope to people. I would like to specialize in cardiology or neurosurgery, I know that is a difficult career and is not for everyone, but I want to put all the possible effort to one day be the doctor I have always dreamed to be, and with all my effort and my knowledge, make a difference in the world and make a good impact

PW#4 My cinnamon roll recipe 

There’s something about the smell of cinnamon rolls that makes me feel the Christmas spirit which is why they are one of my favorite seasonal desserts. although you can make them many times in the year I believe there is nothing better than enjoying a warm cinnamon roll on a snowy day, My favourite recipe has been one that I have used since I was little and it has become a tradition of mine to make these each year. 

I start by mixing 1 cup of warm milk with an instant yeast packet and 1/2 cup of sugar. As the yeast begins to bloom, I add two large eggs and then a third cup of softened butter. once together I mix them all together and slowly incorporate 4 cups of flour. once the ingredients are done mixing you should be left with a thick soft dough that will not stick to your hands, I then leave the dough to rest for a few minutes and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic this will help with the rising process, once kneaded I place my dough into a bowl and cover it with a kitchen cloth to rise for 1 to 2 hours so it will double in size this is a crucial step in order to make the dough fluffy and ready to be placed in the oven. once I see that the dough has risen to the top of the bowl I roll it out on a floured surface until flat and this is when my favourite step comes, preparing the warm cinnamon sugar for the filling. 
For my filling, I melt half a cup of butter and stir in 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon this is one of my favourite steps as I remember myself making this recipe with my cousins when I was younger and stealing tastes of the spread when as I would mix. I always get brought back to these moments in my childhood kitchen because the smell of the brown sugar butter cinnamon mixture is so fragrant it fills the air and is the same exact smell that would fill the room as I would make this recipe years before. once done I carefully spread the filling onto the now flattened dough and roll it inwards, once done I carefully slice the dough into circles and place it on a pan layered with parchment paper. once placed in the oven I set the heat to 375°F and this is where the most difficult time begins as you have to wait for the cinnamon rolls to bake. As I look into the oven I remember me along with my cousins lined up in front of the oven door watching as the dough turns into a beautiful golden colour which is exactly when you know to take them out! once out of the oven, I bring out my cream cheese frosting which is optional as the cinnamon rolls taste good either way. as I said before I love to pair these rolls with a cup of milk and a snowy scenery but my favorite definitely has to be surrounded by my kitchen table in Mexico during Christmas time along with my family years ago.
