Mindless Thoughts

    This semester was unlike any other, one major thing that was different from this course and the previous courses I had was the blogs. Blogs were really different to me because having to post our thoughts, ideas, classwork, and homework on a website and being graded for our effort was surprising. What I found meaningful was that reading articles that were interesting learning things like what an essay really was and what it was to be an amateur, also having to choose our book to read and learn from the book we chose instead of being forced to choose a book to read or have a limited amount of choices. What I am the proudest of is the "essay" or blog posts because I can actually pour my thoughts and ideas on a blank screen without having to worry about being graded on punctuations, spellings, titles, and all these things we have to get right before we even finish or start to write. I feel like in the past the essays I would be able to write would be longer if my teachers jus...

Basic:  Plot: Thomas Hunter can live in 2 separate realities by sleeping in one dream so then he can live in the other dream and vice versa. One reality being in the future where humanity died off by a virus that mutated in extreme heat and the other is present-day earth where the company who made the virus is yet to be announced. So, Thomas Hunter tries to fight the person who started the virus and also fighting an evil being in the other reality which future earth. Morning Routine: (1) I believe the author is lazy to get up but when he works he works hard. (2) I believe this because some authors put certain personalities/traits in their characters. The author clearly drinks coffee. (3) Probably meditates so he can have a sound mind while writing down the book.  (1) On page 43 "adrenaline... makes your head weak... you have plenty of muscles to fight, but no muscle to think." Maybe it shows that to start thinking better he needs to train his brain and so coffee could get you...

     I found the book name and it called  Black: The Birth of Evil  by Ted Dekker the reason I chose this book is that I never got finish this series and it was brought to me by my 8th-grade teacher I was quite interested in it, but never did try to find the book for myself to read it. The reason I liked it is that a man named Thomas was living in two separate realities and both were connected into one. One is the present time and the other being far in the future. The present-day reality is going suffer from a pandemic from a virus that was man-made by one guy looking for total power and he does that by making a virus that he has a vaccine to and instead of giving for free he monopolizes it for power and money. Though this is only a fraction of what the book is about I got more interested in it right now because of the pandemic we are experiencing and the election for the highest seat in office. 

 What I enjoy about reading is that when I read an interesting I feel like I am in the book I just want to keep reading and what I dislike about reading is when a teacher or someone forces us to read a book or just picks a book that we dislike and the teacher knows, but still continues to read it. Well, what I actually dislike about reading is that when a book has a really good book cover and it looks so interesting, but when you start reading it just the opposite of what you expected. Also, I don't want to analyze a book or do an essay on a book because when you are caught up reading an interesting a book that just makes you feel like your in the book you don't have time to think about all these things the teacher said to think about while reading. The four recommendations were first to read a book that you love, second find what you dislike about a book so you have a better understanding of what you love to read, third redefine the word "read" and make your own defi...
