Friday - 1/31/25 - Imagine it's the year 2050. What does the world look like? How have technology, society, and the environment changed?

The biggest difference in the year 2050 from now will not be the appearance of everything, but the way of life for everyone. Despite not looking much different, everything will look a somewhat upgraded. Additionally, engineers and planners will have created better planned cities and hubs with more efficient use of space and transportation. The way of life globally will have become much more easy and efficient. AI and robots can pull off almost any task a human can, such as cleaning, sending emails, driving, coding, manufacturing, etc. Consequently, they have become ingrained in human lives, even in third-world countries. Society will continue to become more interconnected, but certain cultures and languages will die out as a result of this. As an effort from nations worldwide, strides in environmental protection will be present such as, the air will be cleaner, and renewable energy sources will become more dominant. The next two and a half decades from now, will see unprecedented economic and technological growth, but an unfortunate loss in culture and uniqueness.

Summary: Today we read through letters 71-75 of "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker and answered 6 questions regarding those letters. I also thought more about the characters in "The Color Purple," and decided that I will write my essay on Celie.

Reflection: I learned that the quilt represents people and things of different backgrounds coming together in unity.

Second NewsELA Assignment - Monday - 9/23/2024

 Today, we read an article about the dangers of using Google for self-diagnosis, as well as the best ways in which to get medical information being a doctor. Additionally, we completed a short quiz, and wrote a constructed response about the article. I learned that oftentimes health websites are not trying to provide the most accurate information to the reader, but rather boost sales through advertisement of certain products or treatments. I liked reading this article because I, myself in the past have found myself doing similar things, such as Googling my symptoms for a possible diagnosis, even though I know better now, it gives me something to look back on. Today, I'm looking forward to visiting my cousins.

Today, we took our final test on "Fences" by August Wilson. It was a lot of questions (45) but the questions weren't that hard, and I got a 91. I learned that I got 4 questions wrong out of 45. I liked that how each character in the story represented certain ideals or morals, such as Bono with loyalty and Troy with hard work. I feel like today is Friday, because the different block schedule messed up my perception of the week.

 Today, we were introduced into a new project, where we were randomly assigned new group members. We were introduced to a story called "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai, and we read a short background about her life. My group chose the theme of isolation vs. community. I learned that Desai's life and family was caught in the crosshairs of the timeframe of Indian modernization after it gained independence. I found it interesting how she described hiding her profession from her children. I'm feeling ready to get adjusted into my new group and work on the project.
