My thoughs on Problems by Langston Hughes

     I chose this poems because it makes you think about a simple problem to a much more extent. Also it's a poem that made me think, so that's the reason I liked it. Hopefully Dr.Preston could help me with a deeper meaning to this poem.

Problems by Langston Hughes

2 and 2 are 4.

4 and 4 are 8.


But what would happen
If the last 4 was late?

And how would it be
If one 2 was me?

Or if the first 4 was you
Divided by 2?

     

Righetti High School at its lowest

     Today was one of the lowest day we have ever had at Righetti since I've been there. I am disappointed in what happened. Cops were assaulted by student for the reason that they "Had there friend's back." in a fight. Was it worth being punched in the face.
     Now there is 6 students in custody. One student was found with a knife in his backpack. For what purpose did this students do this who knows but it's there opinion they wanted to do it now it's there consequences.
     Now our school is all over the Santa Barbara County news, Saint Louis Obispo County, and Los Angeles area news. Our school is now a mockery in the eyes of places around our area and for what cause none what so ever.

Colaberating across the world

 Today we had a colaberate talk with some students and professor from great Britain. They where at the University of Chichester, a school of music, skyping us via the internet. We had a ukulele session with them and one of my fellow class mate named Nathen. They were really surprised by how good her was and I was impressed on how great of a chello player she was. Also this first Skype session went really wild because they were trying to set up the computer so they could all here us. It was chaotic but in a fun way because no one got mad. I hope for this to be one of many Skype sessions with them.

Fahrenheit 451 review up to 110

Fahrenheit 451 is a story about a man named Guy Montag who a firefighter who's job is to start fires instead of trying to put them out. Montag lives in the near future where reading a book is as bad as killing a man. He meets a women named Clarisse who ask him a question and that question was "Are you Happy?" Well Clarrisse gets caught reading and get burned alive with all her books by a man named Beatty who's Montag's boss. Later on Montag meets an ex-professor named Faber who helps Montag out with this reading situation that he's new at. Montag then goes to the firehouse to speak with Beatty. Later on the alarm of the firehouse rings and they go on the emergency. For some reason on this emergency Captain Beatty was driving and he usually doesn't drive. Next thing you know it they arrive at there destination. There at Montags house.

Today's day

Today in Dr.Preston's English class I learned something really neat. I Learned that it is more interesting when a student goes up in class and teaches you what we are doing today. Even the most simple thing that it might be when a student goes up in front of the class and teaches is pretty hard. So today when Justin went up in front of the class it to was pretty brave of him to do that. Hopefully Dr.Preston gives more opportunities to have a student teaches the class. It would be so FUN!
