explain how emmas decision to change her future was a good or bad idea why or why not

In the " Future of Us", there are two people named Emma and Josh. The year is around 1996 and face book isn't invented yet, but they can see theirs and classmates futures through it. Emma doesn't really like her future so she tries her hardest to change it to her liking. When she does find out how to change her future she goes and does it. She found out where her future husband lives and ask what college he wants to go to. After Emma asks him she goes down her list of top 5 colleges she was hoping to go to. Her top pick was Tampa state which he was actually going to. By changing her mind she was able to alter not only her future but.. Joshes also. By  doing so she has gotten rid of his 3 children and made is so he only has one kid about to born any day.quick synopsis of the book. Emma decision to change the future was a bad decision because it could have altered the future more than they knew. For instance maybe it affected where Josh lives or maybe even what will happen in a war ?! All around so far Emma has been really selfish about her future and the way it was suppose to turn out just because she didn't want it that way it needed to be changed.

tuesday re-write


some people sit in different places during lunch, because of what is kinda like a social class in high school.
there are many reasons for some one to sit in a different place than another. some reasons are that people might have friends that sit there, maybe they don't like some one so they sit far away from some one; or maybe it is because of social classes... people are ranked by how they dress, who they date, what they do out side of school, grades, etc...
lets compare this chart to how high school works. the top of course would be teachers, but the upper class would be more of the foot ball players, cheerleaders, the more of the party crowd. the middle class would be more of the people who like to hang out some where else other than the quad or go to parties they are more of the people of like to "chill out". then their is the lower class. these are mostly nerds and or people who keep their own. they are the ones who will go to a good college.

ill compare this to the show "Neds declassified" cookie over there guy on the left he is what high school students would call "a nerd" he is a geek that likes technology. ned in the middle is more of a "middle class than anything" he is kind of a nerd and is trying to hard to be the cool kid and get with a girl that he has no chance with. practically every high school relationship... i forgot the girls name whatever, but anyways she is pushing her way up the ranks. then their is the football players that always are trying to practically kill ned and cookie ps. that kind of stuff never happens in highschool. there are all the social groups i could get into but that would take a lot and a lot of time, maybe that will be a nother post...

lit group

when i first looked at the rubric i was very  surprised how how poorly i did. When we had another group chat, I improved greatly. I was very focused and deep into the discussion. we talked for the full four minutes and didn't go off topic. My group works decently together, sometimes we go off task during reading time or during not group time. We could definitely try a little bit harder  than we were but we did a very good job. We as a group need to stay focused and make sure we don't go off task or don't pay attention to who's talking. We can achieve this by doing our job, making sure the group is on point and listening to whoever is talking. As we go along we will definitely will get better.

tuesday write #8
In the book Lord Of The Flies. LOTF the pig head is a symbol of the devil. The character Simon symbolizes an heavenly person. During a part of the book LOTF integrates Simon and says some very interesting things. One is “You know perfectly well you will only meet me down there”. (golding 143) The other was “im warning you im going to become angry”(golding 143).

In the first quote LOTF says, “ you know perfectly you will only meet me down there”(golding 143). This represents hell as in “ down there”. this is one way to see that LOTF represents the devil.

The second Quote ,” Im warining you i am going to get angry”(golding143). this shows that something bad might happen like the devil is going to come down on simon. Anything could happen but since simon is hallucinating nothing will happen.
LOTF represents the devil in this book or a very strong evil.
