On last Wednesday my group and I had to lead on reading discussion.  Our reading was Dr. Seuss's The Butter Battle, as of all his books they have deeper meaning.  Well this specific one lead us into discussion started by as the question " Why do we go to war?" Why does it seem as if it is a war between the same people they just act different.  The butter side up people hate the butter side down people simple because the butter side down people eat the butter side bread facing downward.  To me it really makes no sense at all, it seems as if people pick things they don't like about a person and hold it against them.  Just as the people in the story judges, people in society judges.  People will judge you based on how you look, how you dress, color of your skin, or gender but no matter what people are judgemental and see what they want.  On the other hand you could have looked at it as both sides were affecting the environment.

Friday's Class

Class Friday was pretty fun. I really think it was only fun because of my awesome group lol! Our group have to explain the differences between active and passive voice.  The main way to understand if a sentence is passive is if the sentence has the word by in it.  Active voice is like the doer. example Emma stood on the floor. Passive would be The floor was being stood on by Emma.  Pretty simple yeah I know, but not everyone understood the meaning of the two in class.  Team AWinner won in the jeopardy game even though I thought Team Pretty was cheating, with the two daily doubles that didn't even have a question on them and they still got the points. Overall I had a really good Friday.

       Monday's class went well, pretty much because almost no one was in there lol.  We had to cover the board with topics we can use to write our essays again.  Surprisingly we did not take the whole class period this time, which I was a little mad because it was extremely too cold outside and I didn't want to wait for my next class in the cold.  I must remember to read those papers Sweeney told use to read because if I don't I probably won't do well on the quiz Wed.  BTW I pretty much forgot already lol, because it is Tuesday and i have yet to read anything.  Maybe I will read it in a few hours when I get home.

So some people haven't even started their essays yet.  The group I was in yesterday pretty much did a really good job.  One was so good, she could have turned it in on the spot.  A girl and I thought our essays really did suck, even though Sweeny said "No Essay Sucks!!".  I can't even believe he is making us do any work at all though, because he is like the coolest teacher ever LOL!! Besides the point, I honestly don't see why we even have to do these blogs because, mostly all of us constantly forget to do them anyway.  So, yeah the week started off pretty well.

Soo, last week we tried to work on everyone in the class agreeing on essay topics....  What an Epic Fail!  Basically if we are told to agree, not everyone will feel the same way about things.  So on my part it was pretty easy because, I'm not the type of person who tries to start an argument for the sake of being right.  So pretty much I tried to stay quiet and to myself. I was the only person to vote for gender in the work place, and I feel strongly about it.  But I gave it up for the means of not arguing.  As it was shown in class most people are not easily persuaded and tend to like attacking arguments.  That is pretty much why it took us two days, and if people would'nt have had an I don't give a #*@! attitude and openly listened maybe we could have been done alot faster.
