WHY I CHOOSE WHAT I CHOOSE

 I choose "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by J.K. Rowling as a fun book to read because I already read the 1st two books of the series and I loved the series, so I want to keep reading the series till I finish it.

HOW WE READ!!

 Reading is supposed to be fun, but sometimes reading for school is a challenge. Here are four ways we can have more fun reading and do it better at the same time.

1. I feel that a way for reading to be fun for school and do better at the same time, would be by us students not having a certain date to finish the book by, which will allow us students to not have a lot of pressure on us while reading.

2. Another reason to make reading fun and better for school would be by letting us choose our own books when time to choose books.

3. By us not having a lot of homework assignments, we actually might like to read and do it better without pressure, wondering if we have time to complete all assignments.

4. The last way I think that reading can become fun and much better at school would be by teachers allowing us to choose any book we want. At times, teachers only allow us students to pick a certain type of book and certain Lexile the book has to have in order for us to read the book, which can make us not want to read the book as much.

MSS PART 2

 1. The difference between a symbol and a sign, is that a symbol can convey a deeper and more complex meaning than a sign. A sign is just a indicator or marker for something very specific.

2. The three elements of the symbolic relationship are the actual symbol, Referent which is the idea of the symbol, and us, we interpret the actual meaning of the symbol to give it meaning to the world.

3. A word is an idea but until we interpret it and give it a meaning its becomes a symbol.

4. One natural sign that I've seen in the world would be a "Stop" sign.

5.  One symbol that I've seen in the world, would be a Stop sign, its referent stands for cars to come to a stop. I knew what it meant because of the word stop and also from seeing cars stopping before it, from my parents as well.

PAGES FROM MY JOURNAL

 1. I don't see a difference between learning and being taught because either way you still are learning. Though it is true being taught can be easier to comprehend the questions your being asked, learning independently can increase ones motivation and confidence, as well as students getting aware of their limitations of their ability's and how to manage them. Learning independently can be way more different than if you were being taught because you have no one to count on but yourself on each assignment, which at times can cause you to get stressed and unable to answer he problem or question. In my opinion being taught is much better but learning independently has its perks.

2. Many people that are older want to be young because not only do they probably miss their youth memories but could do things quicker and easier back then, then they could now. People that are young such as myself want to be older because we want to be able to make our own decisions, as well as being able to drive and work to make my own money while being responsible. I've always wanted to drive because then I would be able to drive my brothers anywhere they want, as well as working to help my family out with bills and rent. I sometimes wish to own a Camero ZL1 1LE 2018 when I grow up and buy my parents a beautiful home.

3. I like to go shopping, but I think other people find it boring because at times they don't find anything they like, and wasted time going in the first place. I don't think other people like it because they find it boring, depending with the person there with. For example, I go shopping with my mom at times but I hate it, it's boring because when she's in a store looking for cloths ,she takes like 40 minutes just looking around. Then when it's time to cash out she then starts deciding which cloths that she brought to buy, I don't mind going shopping and not buying anything or finding anything because I enjoy just going out and looking around stores with either friends or family.

A WORD ABOUT THE MISERABLES

 My Translation of Victor Hugo's Preface to Les Misérables would be as long as their patriarchy between people, homeless people, people with money that are selfless, in the world, the world won't be as peaceful as it should be and problems would keep on rising.
