The Alchemist Essay/Julius Caesar


The Alchemist Essay:

My ideas throughout the Alchemist Essay show some good couldn't but I could have been more creative and more in depth with my writing. For being able to go more in depth, I could have had clearer examples so the viewer/reader could understand what I was processing about the book. In my writing it has some pretty good organization to it but I easily did well with keeping the paragraph's in correct order like a time line of the story. I could have been clearer on my explanations from the quotes, and reasoning's so I could be better organized throughout the writing. Between my Alchemist, and my Julius Caesar Essay I did worse than at the beginning of the year, because I couldn't finish my Julius Caesar Essay in time so it brought my whole grade down.

Julius Caesar Essay:

My ideas and conclusions throughout the Julius Caesar Essay showed average creativeness, but they were very simple and short. For me to be more successful in the future with showing my ideas, I can provide better and clearer evidence & time to write/think through everything. My writing is a good order and good presentation, but I lack all of the information I need. For example I got through the first two paragraphs but I didn't have time to do the third so I did the conslusion. I could do better on budgetting my time so I could finish everything, and try to follow the rubrics well and efficiently. Between my Alchemist Essay, and my Julius Caesar I did worse than at the beginnning of the year, because I couldn't finish my Julius Caesar Essay in time so it brought my whole grade down.

The Lost Boys

Throughout the Migration to America, the Sudanese have had many issues and problems with the diversity of America. The Lost Boys have been moving and travelling all across the States so they jobs, education, and a new start. One boy named Peter has moved to Kansas for education, and a better job. Peter struggles through making friends, doing sports, and evolving around their way of religion. For example when Peter had a church group together, he was having trouble connecting with them and god. With the way they worshipped him. While he sat thinking, he thought of how Sudan and his people think of supporting god and the way they sing to him. Peter was speechless with what some of America's thought, actions and religious views. He learned and taught himself how to understand and cope with all of these suprising actions. Peter began to make friends and join groups, or teams which helped him understand more thoroughly than before.

Caesar Quote Reading

The context of my passage is Marullus and Flavius are talking about how Caesar has been planning his every move so he can become an idol/king to the people of Rome, and Caesar is gaining to much respect and power, so he is beganing to feel like a leader to the people and to himself. For example Flavius said to Marullas "It is no matter; let no images Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about And drive away the vulgar from the streets; So do you too, where you perceive them thick. These growing feathers pluck’d from Caesar’s wing Will make him fly an ordinary pitch, Who else would soar above the view of men And keep us all in servile fearfulness." This is really showing that Caesar has to much power and he is compared to a vulture glyding over head the Roman People as they are the prey. But then it says survile fearfulness, so thats also showing that their slaves/captives of Caesar becuase his power is overpowering all of Rome.

The reason me and my partner picked this and its significance is... The passage is foreshadowing what they want or what they will do to Caesar and what greatness Rome will be without his authority or command.

Page 22-24, Scene 1, Lines 33-75

Marullus: Where fore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? what tributaries follow him to Rome, To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft Have you clim'b up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea,to chimney-tops, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat The livelong day, with patient expectation, To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome: Have you not made an universal shout, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks To hear the replication of your sounds Made in her concave shores? And do you now put on your best attire? And do you now cull out a holiday? And do you now strew flowers in his way, That comes in triumph over Pompey’s blood? Be gone! Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Pray to the gods to intermit the plague That needs must light on this ingratitude.

Flavius: Go, go, good countrymen, and for this fault Assemble all the poor men of your sort; Draw them to the Tiber banks, and weep your tears Into the channel, till the lowest stream Do kiss the most exalted shores of all.

(Exeunt all the Commoners)

See where their basest mettle be not mov’d; They vanish tongue-ties in their guiltiness. Go you down that way towards the Capitol; This way will I Disrobe the images, If you do find them deck’d with ceremonies.

Marullus: May we do so? You know it is the feast of Lupercal.

Flavius: It is no matter; let no images Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about And drive away the vulgar from the streets; So do you too, where you perceive them thick. These growing feathers pluck’d from Caesar’s wing Will make him fly an ordinary pitch, Who else would soar above the view of men And keep us all in fearfulness.

For my reading I have a duet and my partner is Lauren Burnett

My Place In the World


Picture for writing "My Place In the World"

The Reflection of Society


The Reflection of Society

Art shows meany different peoples thoughts, meaning, and creativety. People use art to show what their emotion, and creativety through the art. Many pieces of art can be seen in a different way to everyone's opinion and thinking. Art can also give the people something to relate to in their life and give them happiness or great depression. The way of art can also describe the past, present and future of certain places and settings.
My Place in the World
If I would place myself into the photo of "Rapheals School of Athens" I would be represented as a scientist/geographer becuase they can explore the world. The Scientist get to come up with new ideas of the planets and galaxy. To me I would find these the most interesting people of the painting becuase they get the two important topics to research and try to change our people and world for the future.
