Griselda Rodas Bojorquez Class of 2019

The imagery in Fahrenheit 451 with the burning of the books portrayed as birds was my perspective applicable because the burning pages look as if they are wings of a bird falpping up and down.

Today I probably passed by more than 75 people and honestly greeting only about 5 at most. It's something that just feels uncomfortable especially with a stranger. I personally just smile at people know words just a smile, even if it's a stranger. Because I feel that a smile from someone you don't know, can change your mood at least a bit. I hang around with people who are very friendly and make conversations with strangers and I look up to them. I feels very nice when someone says, " Hello." It makes my attitude change.

Have you ever seen people crying in the middle of class for a reason you are not aware of? I have and I suppose others have too. But when it happens it's akward, especially if we dont know or talk to the person. That akward moment where you look away cause you feel bad. But why not take action. Many people are thinking to kill themselves because they feel like knowone cares. Why aren't we the ones saying," What's wrong? Are you ok?" Why is it that we tend to just act like nothing is happening.  This Sunday I was walking to my Godmother's house and as I approched a bridge I saw a girl standing on the top of the bridge looking down I could hear her crying. I was unaware what to do. Why can't we be educated on things like this instead of learning a bunch of different things we dont need! Why not teach us how to help people feel less depressed? Or even just the fact of going up to people if another situation occurs again. When I got closer to rh

The theme od the pedestrian is that we need ti be wary of technology. Bradbury get that message through the focus of technology taking control of us. The tone of the story is very serious trying to convince us of what our world has turned into. I believe that people are not seen walking anymore in 2018 because we are honestly lazy, we take the car even to go 2 blocks away. Its just the way society is changing and we all follow along. Self driving cars will only make it worse. Less people will be seen outside rhey will just put the direction and arrive without any hesitation. All this new technology will give teens more freedom. They will have less precaution on what they are doing. It will lead to more isolation and independence.

Mmm.... Have we ever thought of how this weather we are having will change in 50-100 years from now. At my location it's pooring right now. But I wonder how would weather change years from now. I personally think that our weather would become hotter. I dont know why but thats what I think. Also think back 5 years from today knowing is the same the trends nor the communication. Imagine how it would change 50 years from now.

In my personal experience I like to take walks to calm myself down from moments of frustration. It's a moment I get to be by myself and to think of the pros and cons of my decisions and how I would feel about the decision. I believe that Santa Maria isnt the best place to take a walk at least for me there is so much around us that it would be hard to concentrade at least for me. I like taking walks in places where most likely not know anybody. Also in bridges of high places where I could see most of the town. Let's walk without destination to concentrate in our decisions in Life❤

Wealthy people pay to get special services, because they have the opportunity to do it. But people like us people in the middle class dont have thjs option that why we come to a public school and we dont get the treatment other people do. I have personally seen people in our school like this their parents have money and they are always very focused, but they sometimes have excuses why they dont have their work done. To me its unfair their is a lot of people tjat go much more worst things than what they go through bjt since they have money they can get that privledge. For example firefighters they are hired to put out fires but they also have that since of if they have more money we have to go to them first because they will pay more. Its something commonly see the interest of more money has taken over most of this new era.

Love is a common subject amongst a lot of people. But what is love now a days? Love has changed over time because sometimes we has the humans that we are don't know what real love is. This is why their are single mothers, single fathers, and divorce. We don't actually know what love is? Yeah you might say,"I love me children." The that's not the same love that you have for your partner.

I believe that love is always introduced with heat because of the passion between people not only with your partner, but even with our family the perseverance of keeping that love between people.

Have you ever walked in the first day of school thinking here we go again rhe same lecture from the beginning of the year. Well for me this year was different I walked in and the class we structured different there wasn't lame posters on the wall and none of those family pictures on the teachers desk. We had the decision on how what wanted to learn in this class. I was different I personally didnt know how to react, it was different it was something that I had never experienced. It still is hard to get used to it, sometimes I feel the obligation to reach the standards we were taught all these years. I have been in school for 14 years and the rest to come and I was taught to learn a certain way, to listen in a certain way ,and to get work done a certain way. Why are we taught that, if we all learn differently

Love... You hear it everywhere It doesn't matter how it has affected your life, it's always talked about. For me love is something that tou don't usually plan it happens when you least expect it. It's a feeling you just cant define. The way your heart beat changes the way you think about that person the way they make you feel when you are together. It's a feeling that you dont experience everyday. It's unconditional. That's what love is for me, but there is different types of love. Storge—empathy bond Philia—friend bond Eros—erotic bond Agape—unconditional "God" love You don't say "I love my mom" The same way you would say "I love my dog". In spanish theirs two different ways to express your feeling but in English their is only one. My favoriteove song is "Hasta La Locura"

Things happen you can't stop them. You can cry and through a fit but it isnt going to change. Life will not change its just the way it works. Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like your done with life? But guess what it doesnt work that way so many students our age trying to get rid of there problems by not existing in this world anymore. Do you think thats the way out? Is it worth your moms tears and your siblings? You have to continue life and look forward through all the difficulty.
