Thursday meeting

Well on that Thursday we had walked around the school going to the lunchroom and outside for ideas for a bench there. I said some good ideas and everyone else did too.

Service Learning Reflections

What do you want us to do clean the dirty keyboards in the school or start planting or just go around helping the janitors?

Service Learning Reflections Week One

On week one of our group hours we were having fun until Mrs. Thompson had separated us into two groups like pre-schoolers. There was group A&B. She was always deducting points for stupid things like talking or laughing and then she made us pass around a talking stick to stop everyone from talking at once. But near the end we did come up with good ideas like a lounge for students and a student garden or making one at the NCC but we'd have to use annuals (year long flowers that grow back every spring). And that's what we did.

Service Learning Reflections

Service Learning Reflections

During my independent hours I was working at TYWLS (The Young Women’s Leadership School) at Rhodes. For my hours I did things such as shredding old documents and copying papers to pass out papers and stapling them for the secretaries to pass out in the school to advisors and teachers. I also had worked in the supply closets to stock reams of paper on the shelves as many as 100, 20 lbs. reams of paper and then on some days I would walk around the entire school from A-D house to handing out supplies to many schools during Saturday School hours handing out reams of paper, some days give out lunch passes and hall passes, giving out boxes of tissues to the many classes of that school. Then sometimes if worked hard they get me something to drink. So on all the other days I was by myself going to the many classes handing out supplies.

My Reflection Of NHD

2/26/08 My NHD Experience

My view on this NHD project is simple it's time consuming and too short to prepare in less than three months. My project was called The 1844 Bible Riots Cause & Effect. It showed how the two religions the Protestants & the Irish Catholics went to what you could call a war between the two religions. All of this started because one bishop from a Catholic church wanted the school district to allow the teachers to allow the Catholic version of the bible into school instead of being forced to read the Protestant version everyday. One of the success of my project is my bibliography because my Allee and I
Made sure everything was up to par with our bibliography and our board explained our topic although it could’ve had a few improvements. One challenge was constructing our board and we could’ve used an extra partner to do work for our middle section because we basically had nothing. So next year I’ll do a paper because writing 1,500-2,000 isn’t nothing for me.

Huck Finn Mind Evaluation

1/9/07

In these next two paragraphs I'll explain why Huck Finn in the terms of the Id, Ego, and Superego he's the Ego. I'll explain why Huck's always torn between two sides constantly from making a small fib to a huge lie like in the movie where he was with two con men who tried to rob three heiresses of their inheritance. Another case is when in the book where Huck goes to school and the Widow tries to make him into a good kid. But the Id as it always does lures him off track to cut class and wear rags trying to live life his way.

 In real life there are people who always follow their Id to do unspeakable things such as murder, stealing and con people. Like in the story two men were mistaken for brothers of a deceased man who in fact had a great fortune from property values to gold coins. So they ran into Huck and Jim and forced them to go along with their plan since Jim was a runaway slave. So since they were told they'd get their cut if they play along for a while until they take the money. So Huck was an English valet and Jim a Swahili Warrior and they conned everyone in the town except the youngest sister and the doctor. Until Huck's superego came into play and makes him do the right thing and tell the sisters all that he knows which leads to the two men being tarred and feathered.

The second case is when the Widow makes Huck go to school and at the time his Ego let play along and try to better himself by being a young man until Huck's Id over powers his Ego. So then he cuts school to hang out with Tom Sawyer and the rest of the gang, lies to the Widow and Miss Watson by saying he went to school even though he hung out with friends. Playing games such as highwaymen robbing rich folk taking their possessions and other things. But then his Pap came back and his Id went back to sleep making his Ego gain control and tell him to escape.

So to summarize my entire essay Huck is basically torn between to mindsets the Id and Superego. From time to time his Id gets loose thus making do bad decisions that he soon regrets later on and then he settles down which finally releases his Superego to which makes Huck do the right thing and set things straight thus, clearing his conscience and helping people out.
