Self regulation- In self regulation i think i deserve 29% i always listen in class and have little distractions. I have done 20 out of the 22 assignments and im going to continue and work on them. Most of my assignments have been late but i try my best to do it on time. My attendance is really good ive only missed one class and i have never been late. I am ussually on task but sometimes i get carried away and chat.
Quality of Communication Skills- I think i deserve a 25% in communication skills. I am not so good with literary devices i have some struggles with them and sometimes mixing them up. My formal writing is good and my informal writing needs improvement. I am very good at making personal connections because im a very open minded person and i try to think outside the box and im good with other connections other than to myself. My grammer is not the best because english is my third language and i usually have some spelling mistakes every here and there.
Contribution to the Learning Environment- I think i deserve 28%. I have never went back to fix my mistakes when a classmate or teacher tells me i have done something wrong and should fix it. I have commented on everyones blog at least once or twice and they were all good feed back not just a simple good job. I talk alot with my group and we sometimes discuss the stuff in class and help each other out with electronics or if one of us doesnt get what the assignments about we try to help them out. In class i always listen i sometimes get distracted but i still try to listen as much as possible. I always bring posistive energy to class and try to make everyone laugh or get them as confused as possible. So far i think this has been the best english class ive had and it has been a very neat experiance because were using our devices instead of paper and books. At first it was confusing but after a while i got used to it and now know more about technoligy.

Pressure Essay
"We tend to sabotage the very things we care most about."
Many people would agree with this because everyone has had this experiance before like when you buy a new pair of shoes the first few days you take care of them but after you start playing sports with them and run in the mud with them. Same thing goes for women some guys in certain countries kill their wifes or run away after they are bored of them and find new wifes. Some people decide that their lifes arent worth the trouble and let go of the stuff they love the most or has the most value cause they need the money.
At the same time i also disagree with the quote because many people go under so much stress and pressure but it does not affect their mood or their daily life routines. Pressure and stress are all stuff that can be controled. One example is from the curious incedent of the dog at night. The main character chris went into his own little world when ever his parents would fight or argue and he completly zoned out wich many people would do when in that situation.
On the discovery channel I was watching a documentary on apes and their was a battle going on between two different species of apes. While their were battling one of the baby apes was getting beat up by this other ape and the mother came and stepped in and got killed and her child was safe but still injured. Unfortunately most humans wouldn't react like that. Most humans would think of there own welfare before even thinking of others. This isn't because humans are evil and do not think of other's, this is because our brains think in a different way.
We sabotage the things we care about the most because most of the time, we don't even know it is there. For example we say we hate our parents, yet truthfully they care for us and tend most of our needs. We have all something we sabotaged and most of us are afraid to tell others. This is a main reason the situation never gets better and family and friends grow further apart.

Thoughts on curious incedent of the dog in the nighttime
So far what i think about chris is that he is a very unussual person and hard to understand. The way he thinks is very different compared to other people. He seems very nice cause obviously hes helping out his neighbor catch the person wich killed their dog. I think the killer is mrs.shear because since she wants to be together with chirs's father she wants to find away to get rid of chris cause she knows he is going to be a big problem so she killed her own dog knowing that the only person that would find out is chris because he goes for his nightly walk outside and she knew it would be the perfect way to rid of him. But her plans didnt work out quite well so im pretty shure she is going to try to find another way of getting rid of him. His autism is the reason mrs.Shears wants him out of her and his dads life because he can only speak the truth. So if he does find out that maybe Mrs.Shears killed the dog he would tell his father and ruin her relation with his dad. I dont really relate to this story at all cause ive never been around anyone with autism or anything like that.

Real and fake love
An opinion is that their love is fake. Its fake because true love is not commiting suicide to show your love for your partner, its the small stuff that count. Many relationships end in tragedys because people want to show their love in the most stupidest ways ever. If it was real love they would want to do more with their life.
First of all their are many opinions on love. Many people have the love at first sight feeling because of physical atributes. Girls love guys who dress nice have beautiful eyes and nice deep voice. For guys they mostly pay attention to a females body and her face. Researchers say that people can tell if they see the "One" person who truly belongs in their life in less then three minutes. Quote from romeo and juliet act 1 scene 5 page 2 "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night."
Wich is him saying he feels like she is the odd one out in the world and she is now bassicly his everything and he hasnt even talked to her or has never met her.
Second thing is trying to specificly define love. In many peoples mind they have thoughts like "ohh love is sex and gifts". For someone else it could be cuddling next to the fire place and telling each other love storys. So really their is no definition for love because of diversity of peoples feelings and thoughts.
Third thing is that when you do fall you cant call it true love because their relationship has many more years to come and tragedys they will face that will most likely ruin thier relationship. In romeo and juliet thier is a scene were romeo talks about how fate ruined their relationship and now they cant be together anymore cause destiny didnt want them together.
Not finished Still in progress.

Sililoquy
Act One Scene Five: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright (Romeo)
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
The meaning of this soliloquy is:
Romeo was staring at her and she was so beautiful that she made the torches around the hall appear to be dim. She was a dazzling jewel illuminating the dark night sky. She stood out from the other girls like a white dove in a field of crows. She was unexplainable. He could never find the words to describe her. She couldn't be real, her beauty wasn't possible. Romeo could not belive his eyes he said to himself and pushed his mask to the top of his head to see her better.
I think this kinda foreshodows whats going to happen in the story cause all of a sudden romeo went from liking rosaline to being amazed with juliets beauty and it shows that romeo has lost his interest in rosaline and is now going to hook up with someone he just met and has no clue of who she is.
I like this soliloquy because it shows how he doesnt really like rosaline at all cause if he acctually did like her he wouldnt have got over her that quick and move on. I also like it because its very specific and not just a simple "She's hot".
Interm report
I think i deserve 75%. I have been doing good in class and i have been caught up in all my homework. I have a very good attendance and i have no lates i think and i have only missed one or two classes. In class i do participate when needed. I have commented on 14 different blogs so far but i am going to try and work on that. I have done alot of tweets even though my character hasnt been in the play too much i still try to contribute. All together i have done 14/15 of the assigments.i have done really good in my assigments and i have tried my best and i only did one assigment really bad because i got kinda lost. Compared to other classmates i think i am average. I think it is important to post comments on other peoples blogs because they will know what to fix and not repeat their mistakes. I have been doing better in this english class then all my other years of high school and i would like to keep my work up and extend my reach of knowledge.
