True or False?

A stereotype is a assumption about a group of people. In The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman there are many sterotypes by the color of peoples skin. The God fearing Christian woman was a white person that hated blacks. This is a stereotype that all white people hate blacks. To prove that this is false Gaines showed us a character that was helpful to Jane and Nate. His name was Job. Job was a white man that gave them a place to stay, food to eat, and somewhere to work. This proves that the stereotype of all white people hated black people is false.

Say Yes to the Dress

Everyone should go watch my favorite television show called Say Yes to the Dress. Everyone should watch it because it shows people what it's like when you are wedding dress shopping. Some people think that weddings are all easy and fun, but this show shows that Weddings are not all fun and games. Even the simpliest things, like picking out a dress, can be very difficult.

Don't Be a Follower

An important lesson in Animal Farm is to be in the world, but not of the world. The pigs become the leaders of the farm, but that does not mean that the rest of the animals should follow how they act. Some of the animals(the sheep and Boxer) agree with what the pigs are doing and they go along with the pigs ideas. The animals agree with the pigs on what they do and follow their ideas and actions like sheep. Other animals like Benjamin are unchanged. He does not change who he is to conform to what the pigs are doing. The pigs kill the animals as punishment, and the other animals should not think that is right just because that is what the pigs are doing. The important lesson in Animal Farm is do not change who you are to be a follower of someone else.

" Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."-Mathew 12:2

If I could choose the Characters...

If I were to make a film of Julius Caesar I would choose Channing Tatum to portray the role of Brutus. I would choose Channing because he is good at playing noble and strong characters like Brutus.He showed this in the movie "Dear John". I would choose Liam Hemsworth to play Cassius. I would pick him because he is good at playing characters that show one emotion but then show another. Cassius does this by agreeing to everything Brutus says, but on the inside actually disagreeing. The next actor I would want in my movie is Kellan Lutz. I would want him to play Antony. I would choose him because he is a great actory at being a tough yet gentle person. Antony is gentle towards the conspirators The last actor I would choose is Tom Felton. He is very good at portraying prideful characters. In Harry Potter his character was very prideful like Caesar.These are the four main characters and actors that I would use to play them.

Channing Tatum (Brutus)

Kellan Lutz(Antony)

Tom Felton (Caesar)

Liam Hemsworth (Cassius)

Julius Caesar Project

Ending our class unit of reading Julius Caesar we were assigned to do a project. My project was to depict the settings of the varioius scenes of the play. I used a tri-fold poster board to present my project. I started by thinking of memorable scenes from the play. I chose caesars death, the battle at Philipi, and Brutus and Mark Antony speaking at Caesars funeral. I then found images of the scenes, and of where the scenes would've taken place. The scenes would've taken place at the Capital of Rome, a podeum, and a battlefiled in Philipi. What I learned from my project was to relate what you read to real life places. Being able to compare the scene and the setting helped me to better understand the play.

Fears

Do you think your fears are rational? Do you think most people's fears are rational? What deserves our fear? Everyone has their own idea of what deserves fear. I think it is irrational to be afraid of something that would not have a way of harming you. An example of this would be having a fear of being attacked by a shark when you do not live close to an ocean. I think a lot of times peoples fears are irrational because they are things that are not very likely to happen.
