Quick Write:
The ending was crazy. It was a shock for me. Winston and Julia both betrayed each others. And they both was brainwash. When they bump into each others, it was like they never knew each others. I didn't think it will end like that. What surprise me was that O'Brien made up the Brotherhood and was part of the Party. It was a set up all along. Winston and Julia both felt for it.

Writing in Newspeak
Quick Write:
The underlying philosophy behind Newspeak doesn't applies to my life. If I don't have a word for something, I think about how I could say it in another way. Or I will just try to explain it by using an example to try to say the word.
Life is like a big merry-go-round,
You're up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to where you are.
Everybody's been counting you out,
But where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
[Chorus:]
I'd rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
'Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won't accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh
Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there's a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know where the road leads you,
Not everyone's gonna believe you,
And even know they're wrong, don't prove them right
Life is Big Brother,
You're up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to the Golden Country.
Everybody's been counting on you,
But where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all could get vaporize,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!
[Chorus:]
I'd rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
'Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won't accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a ownlife,
I am a ownlife!
Ooh oh
Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there's a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know where the road leads you,
Not everyone is a oldthinker,
And even know they're wrong, don't prove them right

1984 and the Patriot Act
Quick Write:
I don't think Winston world will occur today. People won't let the government take control of their every move. Their will be people who will stand up for themselves.
Final Reflection:
Winston Smith's and the lawyer's experience connect. The government both was in the privacy personal things. I feel like everybody gets profiled unfairly. People will assume something just by the way you look. The government should balance the right to privacy with the need for national security. Its good that they have security for just in case something bad happens. But we also need our privacy. I think that they shouldn't always be listening to our conversation, email, or text all the time. If they have proved that something is wrong then they could but if not they shouldn't be all the time in our privacy personal stuff.
What connections can you make between Winston Smith's experience and the lawyer's? Do you feel you ever were profiled unfairly or was there a time when you felt your privacy was invaded? Write about it. Finally, explain how the government should balance the right to privacy with the need for national security.

Wassup with the Proles part2
Quick Write:
Knowing what I know about the Proles and their lifestyle, I don't think no one will like to be a Party member. But the people that is part of the Party member have no choice but to be in it. If one of the Party members trying to question the Party then they will be vaporize.
Final Reflection:
The future of the society in 1984 does not depend on the Proles. The Proles won't step up to the Party. They won't wake up. It's like they are comfortable with the way they are living. The Proles don't matter to the Party nor do they exist to the Party. The Proles have their own rules. They don't use any critical thinking skills.

Wassup with the Proles
Quick Write:
“From the proletarians nothing is to be feared. Left to themselves, they will continue from generation to generation and from century to century, working, breeding, and dying, not only without any impulse to rebel, but without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is.”
In other words, the proles could do whatever they want. They don't have to live like a Party member. I agree with this quote because there is evidence in the book about it. The Proles wouldn't be vaporize like a Party member will if they disobey the rules of Big brother. The Party doesn't care about the proles.

Quick Write:
"Its a beautiful thing, the destruction of words." Words are destruction in 1984, I don't think it will be now or happen now. New words are being made but none are being destruction that I know of.

History as Construct
Quick Write:
I don't know that everything that is being taught to me in my history class is true. The information comes from the textbook. Who ever wrote the information we don't know if they are lying or not. The information also comes from the internet. When most sites you could edit the information so thats another reason why we don't know if the information is true or not.
Final Reflection:
I still agree with the quote. The quote is: it is impossible to change history. You cannot change the past. You can't go back to the past so you cannot change history. In the book 1984 they was all control to believe the new information that they said that happen in the past when it didn't. If they didn't or even question their information, they will be vaporize. The people in 1984 is obligated to accept or live or agree with the information that was being change.

The Hate
Quick Write:
Hate is a strong word for me. Hate is when you can't stand something or someone, not even their presence. What cause hate is when you really dislike something or something that someone did to you and you hold grudge that turn into hate. Having hate in your heart is not good. Hate is a negative thing.
Final Reflection:
The thing thats wrong with hate with a psychological perspective is that person have a fixed mindsets. People with hate in themselves will turn bad. And the hate will take over you. You won't have control of yourself. The person will be acting out.

You are changing your attitude about it, and your mindset as well.

Project and final project review
Summary:
It's all about fixed mindset and growth mindset on different topics. And how you could be a little bit of both in a topic. Some people think that being successful is about learning, while some think that is when you are proving you are smart. It show examples of when kids master a puzzle. And want to get a difficult one, while some just want to keep on doing the same one they master. Depression is different on both mindsets. Fixed mindset will just stop trying. Growth mindset will work even more hard to accomplish what they was struggling with. Fixed mindset will want to be with someone who worship him and they do not confront their problems. But growth mindset will confront their problems. When some people become a boss. They treat others wrong, they won't be humble. They forget where they started at. Some people think that a test score tells how smart you are. Fixed mindset will think they better than others, and that they are born talent. Growth mindset knows that it's by learning experiences. Try your all. One think I like that was written in the chapter is: You don't want to look back and say "I could have been". You want to say "I gave it my all for the things I valued. Some people say that effort is the key to success. But don't do it, they show no action. It's one thing to say and a other to do it.
Review #1:
I took the English regent for the first time and I failed. I was so mad at myself for not passing it. But then I saw that my friends didn't pass it either. And then I started not to care. While taking the test I thought that I will pass it. But I thought wrong. I was nervous while taking it. I wanted to complete all sessions. I was paying attention to the time more than my test. Always looking at how many minutes I had left for the session. Even though my teacher said that he will let us know when we got 10 minute left. I still was looking at the clock. I didn't want to take it again because I thought I will just fail again. I stop going to my English class after that. I didn't care anymore. That was a time I will defined myself in having a fixed mindset. I shut myself down because it was too difficult. I didn't want to try no more. I just give up on it. As time when by, I started to realize that deep down I did care. I knew that I wanted to take it again and didn't want to give up. Plus this is a regent I need in order to graduate. I now see how I change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. I started to go to class again. I try this time. But I didn't read any books. For the regents you need to have read books. I took the regent for a second time and fail again because I didn't read any books. In life we learn from our mistakes. That motivate me to start reading books in the summer. To get myself prepared for the regent. I know that when I take it on June I will pass it. I won't give up. I will always keep on trying. "Failure doesn't define you. It's something you learn from."

Some people think that a test score tells how smart you are. Fixed mindset will think they better than others, and that they are born talent. Growth mindset knows that it's by learning experiences. Try your all. One think I like that was written in the chapter is: You don't want to look back and say "I could have been". You want to say "I gave it my all for the things I valued. Some people say that effort is the key to success. But don't do it, they show no action. It's one thing to say and a other to do it.
Review #1:
I took the English regent for the first time and I failed. I was so mad at myself for not passing it. But then I saw that my friends didn't pass it either. And then I started not to care. While taking the test I thought that I will pass it. But I thought wrong. I was nervous while taking it. I wanted to complete all sessions. I was paying attention to the time more than my test. Always looking at how many minutes I had left for the session. Even though my teacher said that he will let us know when we got 10 minute left. I still was looking at the clock. I didn't want to take it again because I thought I will just fail again. I stop going to my English class after that. I didn't care anymore. That was a time I will defined myself in having a fixed mindset. I shut myself down because it was too difficult. I didn't want to try no more. I just give up on it. As time when by, I started to realize that deep down I did care. I knew that I wanted to take it again and didn't want to give up. Plus this is a regent I need in order to graduate. I now see how I change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. I started to go to class again. I try this time. But I didn't read any books. For the regents you need to have read books. I took the regent for a second time and fail again because I didn't read any books. In life we learn from our mistakes. That motivate me to start reading books in the summer. To get myself prepared for the regent. I know that when I take it on June I will pass it. I won't give up. I will always keep on trying. "Failure doesn't define you. It's something you learn from."

Diving inside the mindsets
Quick write:
At this exact point in time I still think that we have a growth mindset. We work hard to get things done. If you don't put effort you wouldn't complete your goal. Don't give up, push through your setback. Hard work pays off.
The student I connected the most with was Carla. Carla went to school when the 1st marking period was half way done and she had to makeup all the classwork, projects, and homework. But then she started going to a program in her school everyday after school till 5:00pm and pass all her classes. I also came in late for school, I started half of the 1st marking period. And I have a lot of makeup to do. But once I get home I do the makeup and also in lunch time I go to my teacher for help. I hope that i will be able to pass all my classes like Carla did.
Final Reflection:
One way teachers can show students that they believe in their potential is by working with the student. One way teachers can cause students to feel discourage or feel like a failure is by showing the student work to others and saying that student didn't even try and will fail the class because of that test. Keep test score private.

The most important claim about mindset is that when you put effort you will accomplish your goal. Just like she said that intellectual skills could be cultivated through effort. The evidence is her research.

My subtotal is 60 +4. I gave myself this score because I didn't meet all of the desired learning goals. I got some ideas and put effort on my work. The writing conventions isn't good as well. I'm still learning how to use my blog.
