Super 5

I have been introduced to a women here on campus named rosey who has been baking for 20 years today. She has much experience and is someone i will be going to through out these last few weeks we have.

My Team

I plan to make a video as in my masterpiece. My filmers will be Miranda Nilo and Lesther Venezuela. I will be doing an editorial on baking and later video taping the delivery of bakes goods and how they bring a sense of comfort.

Launch

The purpose of my masterpiece is to show the world how passionate about baking. Not only that but to show people the time energy and hard work it takes to make just one batch of cupcakes. This is something i plan to make a career out of and with this i plan to create a portfolio. I also plan to bake goods and deliver them to local fire departments, police departments, and shelters.

Brave New World Essay

Topic: Describe the elements of our  real time world that you think related or doesn't relate to Huxley's Brave New World

In Adolf Huxley's novel Brave New World, many similarities and differences are made clear and distinct. Many of which are already in effect today as we speak. One of the similarities between Brave New World and our world today is how we rank and rate people in our society. A way the two differ would be the scientific level and how our governments use it.

Both worlds as you begin to see place a high regaurding upon how society and its people are looked at and ranked. Although our real time world does not go to some of the many extremes as brave new world, we do have many similarities. Take a step back and look at how we in todays world look at people. We have wealthy, middle class, and low class. In brave new world, people are ranked by value to society. Both similar yet different. In any society ofcoarse it is not fair to place a higher regaurding on people because of how much they make or their value to the world. That would be like cutting everyone who works in the fields here in town because they come from a lower class. Yet what people fail to realize is that without them no store in town would have fresh goods. In brave new world this is sadly the case, but from birth you are destined.

A difference we have compared to Brave New World is how our government is run. In Brave New World the Henry Ford is looked at as a god for many reasons. As you get into the novel you begin to see how much he really resembles how their society is made. Scientifically each society is advanced. But compared to Brave New World, we don't use science to make a perfect society. We use it to help society, not destroy it. n brave new world unknowingly is society being destroyed. But you do begin to see that through out the novel.

BOB 1

My blog is up to date so I would say a 8 at it's best.
At it's worst I would say 6 because I could make it more original in a sense and fun.

MY LIFE DURING HIGH SCHOOL VS. LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL

Similarities:

• still learning 
• still responsible for your own learning 

Differences: 

• more independence 
• friends change
• begin a new chapter in which you can create and write on your own in your life

I don't believe there is a great difference here. I can understand the job and independence. But ultimately your still going about your day going to school and working. It wont really be different aside from your own personal growth in your own life. I don't think people will magically transform the day of or after graduation. They will carry their habits of mind/word/deed with them. I believe they will gradually change and improve as they mature. But again, that change is up to you. For me i put what needs to be done first, the most important things. Only after that is completed i move on to other things that i want to do like watch TV or hang out with a group of friends. My expectations for myself are to make a difference everyday in this world. And for me personally i try to keep a positive mind set. Positivity is greater. The expectations for the world around me...well, the world is what weve made of it. And in my own personal opinion, its in quite chaos. I feel like we live in a world thats lost touch with the reality of where our roots begun. And people forget how to respect other peoples and their ways of living. Not only that, but we forget how to respect people around us. So my expectations of the world are kind of lost. Because we are lost. But thats my own opinion.

I can experiment with what i think works best to combine these categories and share my ideas with others in a sense. Its what works for  me. The only reality in this is how it helps me personally and how i can help others in this area to express my way of things.
