The promise
This is a quote from Tim Tebow after he lost a game and lost his undefeated season I feel that he failed his fans and himself as a person, he was being mindful to everyone around him. The thought of failure made him want to make this promise to
Everyone and i feel this way for my performance in this class the pas week or so. So I make the promise to go back to my good working habits and work hard for you and be mindful to your passion you put into this class.
P.S. you have to read my journals with stars on the pages. They are the best journals and mean the most to me.
“To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, I’m sorry. I’m extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season. That was my goal, something Florida has never done here. I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season. You will never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season. God bless.”
This is a remix of "The Promise" that I wrote on a test I took in my stats class after we lost CIF finals.

Active reading notes Grapes of Wrath
Story starts off with a family in Oklahoma when the Joad family goes though the depression then decides to get better luck going to get work in California
The family goes through many rough times as the work in California isn't up to the standards the Joads were expecting
They jump from town to town and house to house finding new jobs by the day with Tom Joad trying his best to support his family the best he can
The family wants to travel where Tom goes but it doesn't seem to be working out as Tom feels he is bringing the family down with his choices and leads to his eventual leaving.
What forced Steinbeck I write this?
Are they from real time experiences?
What fueled Tom Joads extreme passion to help his family?
People often dont know what fuels a passion much like what we talked about in our sacratic seminar what fuels you to be passionate about something? Or fuels Toms passions?

Further knowledge summary
Summary:
Creativity sparks mind functioning and brain activity
Play time sparks creativity
To much shelter is bad
Need to find yourself can't learn from someone saying something, you need to experience it
What is knowledge? Wisdom?
How do you break something someone says and then do it
Make personal connections
Act on the knowledge. What good is knowledge if you don't use it
Relate to yourself
School isn't very relevant, so you have to apply yourself, have to experience it yourself
Testing doesn't prove everything (animal analogy)
Not Darwin's theory but the power of the rest of the world
1a) These aspects and way of learning are going to be easier to apply to life late in time when grades don't matter. It will be easier to apply because when your in college you pick what you want to do with your life. So everything you do for school will be easily applied to your career.
1b) I feel the knowledge we gain now is hard to apply to the AP test because it's not what we want to do. I think the key is to find a fun way a way that kids enjoy to learn the material. Not just read from the book but things that catch our eyes and make learning not only fun but easier. What teachers don't understand these days is that we live in a technological world so learning is easier through technology.
1c) I think like I said in 1b that making learning in a more enjoyable way is the only way I feel you can inspire kids in this age to learn.

Life in a love (remix)
"I believe that the poem is about a man who is in love with a women and obviously can not recieve that love back. In real life, however, he does eventually get her. So, the love is unrequited. Although I believe most of it is depressed rambling. But other I think the poem is a surpessed passion."
.: :.
"I don\'t think it\'s a poem of unrequited love; at the end he appears to use the home as a metaphor for the woman\'s body - \'Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune\'. This last line seems to suggest he does get her in the end, and is able to \'explore\' her. Browning also describes the time as \'twilight\', a time of courtship, mystery and romance, and now that this time has come, he has now has found the elusive woman."
