The creative aspect would be that I pulled the idea out of a big idea, or just a selfish need to help people. Creativity helped narrow down my wants into an idea that I could put into action. Critical thinking becomes apparent in the execution of the masterpiece and what I can accomplish by the end of the year. Collaboration seems to be the biggest key in my masterpiece, due mostly to the fact that I'm working together with Serena on this project which can be a little challenging when you have two very different ideas, but it's our ability to collaborate that will make this masterpiece a success.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-21510086332980913812014-04-02T13:14:00.000-07:002014-04-03T13:14:36.605-07:00Love Is BlindMacbeth seems to have some love goggles on in his views of Lady Macbeth, he seems to unknowingly accept everything she says as final word.

That has given me limited time to work on my masterpiece, but it has still been on my mind. This week has been all over the place between working the baseball games, hauling my sister back and forth between swim practice, working in the athletic training room, and accepting my admission at San Francisco State and figuring out everything that comes after that. My multitasking skills are really being put to the test here, but I think I can figure it out.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-66516382484429393662014-04-02T12:49:00.000-07:002014-04-03T13:23:56.289-07:00Macbeth Act 1Due to a WASC meeting I was unable to be in on the lecture on Act One so I looked around at other students blogs for a little guidance.

-Macbeth is indirectly introduced through a speech about his courageousness in battle.<br />
<br />
What elements of foreshadowing do the witches provide?<br />
-The witches foreshadow a contradicting theme that what's good isn't necessarily good and what's bad isn't necessarily bad.<br />
<br />
How does Shakespeare's approach to exposition give the reader background information about the setting and characters and a sense of what's to come without spoiling the play?<br />
-Shakespeare provides us with a vague prophecy that does not include instructions for Macbeth, therefore not spoiling the play for us.<br />
<br />
How does Shakespeare's characterization of Macbeth reflect a sense of tone (i.e., the author's attitude toward the character/s, audience, and/or subject matter)?<br />
-Shakespeare's characterization of Macbeth gives us a feeling that Macbeth is someone who's viewed very highly which could be taken as a hint to his demise.<br />
<br />
What themes appear evident in Macbeth's character and conduct? To what extent do you think these themes will drive the rest of the play?<br />
-Macbeths' unsure and nervous feelings about the prophecy hint at his seeming lack of ability to pull it off and the guilt that will consume him.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-5168782176798151352014-03-27T20:53:00.000-07:002014-04-03T13:44:29.650-07:00Seeking MentorI think we need a mediator more than a mentor, Serena and I seem to be going different ways on our masterpiece so we need to sit down and really talk about what we want to accomplish by the end of the year.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-44932494925412971302014-03-26T17:02:00.000-07:002014-04-03T13:52:39.598-07:00My Macbeth Resources<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/macbeth/">http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/macbeth/</a></span><br />

Huxley did mention, however, that the alternate universe he created was a little extreme and that our society is most likely not on that path. Huxley also seems to underestimate the human evolution that we go through despite the advances in technology.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-49630560301663515902014-03-12T14:02:00.000-07:002014-03-12T14:02:40.452-07:00Benchmark ProjectI'm working together with Serena on our project, the post can be found on her blog <a href="http://snicholsrhsenglitcomp.blogspot.com/">Serena Nichols</a>Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-77083150500379304652014-03-10T17:30:00.000-07:002014-03-12T13:31:37.866-07:0010 QuestionsMy questions are for the expert who coined the term "Dude Be Nice" Mike Smith.<br />
<br />
1.) How did you become such a positive person in such a negative culture?<br />
<br />
2.) Why do you think America is so focused on negative media?<br />
<br />
3.) How can we best share more stories about people doing positive things in our community/world?<br />
<br />
4.) How can I personally take action to combat the vastly growing negativity-wave in the media?<br />
<br />
5.) How do you get other people to join in?<br />
<br />
6.) <span style="background-color: white;">Do you think there is a way to share important world news that creates a channel for positive change and awareness?</span><br />
<br />
7.) How do you reach out to a tough audience like teenagers?<br />
<br />
8.) How do you go from wanting to help people to actually doing it?<br />
<br />
9.) You're quite popular on social media, how do you stay positive on such a negative platform?<br />
<br />
10.) How can two high school kids with an idea take that and run with it?Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-42211368488099449852014-02-26T19:17:00.002-08:002014-02-26T19:17:08.152-08:00My TeamSerena Nichols: she and I are working together on our masterpiece so she's obviously a key element in it's success.<br />
Lesther Valenzuela: he showed some interest in our idea and I am interested in his.<br />
Hannah Savaso, Taylor Duguran, and Meghan Martella: we all relate in our wanting to help people and promote positivity and I saw that they're all working together on a somewhat similar project.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-86980063159714531252014-02-25T21:27:00.000-08:002014-02-26T19:28:38.532-08:00Launch I'm working with my partner in crime, Serena Nichols, on this masterpiece. We both were sort of unsure as to what we wanted to do for our project but knew that we both wanted to help people. In class we came up with an idea for a website to help people get involved in community organizations that make a difference. So many people want to help out and volunteer, but just don't know how to go about it. Our website would give resources on how to become involved locally and how that helps the community and the world as a whole. <br />
Another thing we want to portray on our site is positive news stories because we're fairly interested in the news and finding out what's going on in the world and we noticed that the media tends to focus on negativity. We want to highlight stories that are positive and have hopeful messages and inspirations. <br />
Our main goal is to show that a little positivity or kindness goes a long way. No good deed goes unnoticed and positivity is truly appreciated no matter how much negative news and events seem to outshine it.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-53088005910984989522014-02-19T21:08:00.000-08:002014-02-19T21:08:06.186-08:00Welcome to the Interdisciplinary I have not come up with a clear plan yet, when I was thinking of those questions I answered the other week I realized that my goals had to do with once I move to San Francisco for college, and therefore cannot be accomplished by the time I graduate high school. Since my goals don't really match up with the assignment I'm going to look for groups to join which somewhat meet my interests.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-42800543208261682022014-02-19T20:53:00.000-08:002014-02-19T20:53:13.952-08:00I Am HereI'm going to be honest when I say I'm in this class because it's an AP course and I never considered taking college prep English. This first grading period I've been really thinking about what my senior project is going to be and since I didn't really spend a lot of time and effort on the big question last semester I'm trying to decide what to do. I don't really know how I'm going to turn my love of helping people into a project that I can accomplish over a semester, but I'm working on it. If I can't come up with anything myself I'll most likely join another collaborative working group and help out where it's needed. In the end though this class is mostly about the grade and all the typical elements of a high school class to me.Jenna Nocehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06039573558586207123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304477454336633591.post-52851575886126861332014-02-13T20:42:00.001-08:002014-02-13T20:42:13.356-08:00Lit Terms #6simile: <span sb_id="ms__id683">a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid</span><br />

<br>
1. Briefly summarize the plot of the novel you read according to the elements of plot you've learned in past courses (exposition, inciting incident, etc.).<br>
<br>
-The Joy Luck Club was a collection of stories of Chinese-American mothers and daughters who were struggling with their relationships and with the American world they live in and have to grow accustomed to. The story does focus mostly on Jing Mei trying to find and reunite with her half sisters from China. The book mainly focuses on the mothers trying to uphold their tradition and the daughters trying to adapt to their new American lifestyles while trying to keep a good relationship with each other.<br>
<br>
2. Succinctly describe the theme of the novel. Avoid clichés.<br>
<br>
-I would say that the main theme of the novel would be overcoming or conquering cultural differences and finding who you really are and what you represent, not just based on where you were born, but on who you are as a person. The mothers think of China as their home and do not want to take on the American way of life, instead sticking with their old ways and complaining and looking down on the American customs and people. The daughters are struggling with their identity, they feel tied to America because that's where they were raised and it's how they've lived, but they're also tied to their Chinese heritage because that's how their mothers raised them and the culture they've grown up with.<br>
<br>
3. Describe the author's tone. Include a minimum of three excerpts that illustrate your point(s).<br>
<br>
-The tone changes with the memories of the characters, sometimes it's joyous and wistful and other times it's difficult and somber. <br>
<br>
"It was only later that I discovered there was a serious flaw with the American version. There were too many choices, so it was easy to get confused and pick the wrong thing."<br>
<br>
“My breath came out like angry smoke. It was cold…The alley was quiet and I could see the yellow lights shining from our flat like two tiger’s eyes in the night.”<br>
<br>
“I raced down the street, dashing between people, not looking back as my mother screamed shrilly ‘Meimei! Meimei!’ I fled down an alley, past dark, curtained shops and merchants washing grime off their windows."<br>
<br>
4. Describe a minimum of ten literary elements/techniques you observed that strengthened your understanding of the author's purpose, the text's theme and/or your sense of the tone. <br>
<br>
1.) Metaphor:"I see it right away: the marble end table collapsed on top of its spindly black legs... 'Fallen down,' she says simply...'It doesn't matter,' I say and I started to pick up the broken glass shards. 'I knew it would happen.' 'Then why don't stop it?' asks my mother. And it's such a simple question."<br>
<br>
2.) Parable: The parable of the Queen Mother of the Western Skies<br>
<br>
3.) Rhetorical Questions:"I wanted my children to have the best combination: American circumstances and Chinese character. How could I know these things do not mix?"<br>
<br>
4.) Symbols: The coy fish the mother loved, and the goldfish that the daughter loved<br>
<br>
5.) Allusion: Mention of the Ed Sullivan Show<br>
<br>
6.) Simile:"...she backed out of the room, stunned, as if she were blowing away like a small brown leaf, thin, brittle, lifeless."<br>
<br>
7.) Foreshadowing:"'What use for?'" asks my mother, jiggling the table with her hand. 'you put something else on top, everything fall down. Chunwang chihan."<br>
<br>
8.) Epiphany: Jing-Mei has an epiphany after her mother's death.<br>
<br>
9.) Imagery: When describing memories Amy Tan uses imagery to help us picture what the character is thinking of.<br>
<br>
10.) Paradox: The whole idea of being a "Chinese-American" seems like a paradox to me.<br>
<br>
1. Describe two examples of direct characterization and two examples of indirect characterization.<br>
<br>
-The author uses indirect characterization by telling the story from the points of view of the mothers and daughters. The author uses direct characterization when she compares the characters to objects based on their qualities. <br>
<br>
2. Does the author's syntax and/or diction change when s/he focuses on character?<br>
<br>
-The author's syntax and diction change when telling the story from the mothers' point of view and the daughters' point of view, the mothers' English is broken and formal while the daughters' is more authentic.<br>
<br>
3. Is the protagonist static or dynamic? Flat or round? <br>
<br>
-Jing-Mei is a dynamic and round character while her mother is a static and flat character. Jing-Mei becomes a dynamic and round character after her mother's death when she finally understands her mother and all she went through to be who she was.<br>
<br>
4. After reading the book did you come away feeling like you'd met a person or read a character?<br>
<br>

What in your analysis of literary techniques led you to this conclusion? (Make sure to include textual support illustrating Dickens' use of at least three techniques we've studied/discussed this year.)<br />
-Dickens was inspired by the story of the play he acted in, <em>The Frozen Deep</em>, which was one of self-sacrifice. Dickens also drew inspiration from his experiences with the two cities, London and Paris, including the bright side and the dark side. A literary technique that led me to this conclusion was the use of a motif which was, in this case, death which was represented by the war and the infamous guillotine. Another would be his use of the narrative, Dickens approached the story as if it was from his life using his own experiences for inspiration. Imagery was another big literary technique which was shown in the storm breaking the prisoners free. These techniques allowed for us to get hooked although we already knew the inevitability of what was going to happen while also allowing us to put ourselves in the characters shoes.<br />

Circumlocution <br />
<ol>
<li sb_id="ms__id66">indirect way of saying something: the use of more words than necessary to express something, especially to avoid saying it directly</li>
<li sb_id="ms__id67">indirect expression: something said using more words than necessary, especially to avoid expressing it directly</li>
</ol>
<div sb_id="ms__id67">
This reminds me of Marine Science and learning about Ferdinand Magellan who was the first person to circumnavigate the world, which took a very long time, a lot longer than was necessary to get from point A to point B.</div>

2.) Classicism </div>
clearness, elegance, symmetry, and repose produced by attention to traditional forms<br />

This reminds me of classy people who pretend to like elegant things such as art galleries.<br />
<br />
3.) Cliché <br />
a phrase or expression that has been used so often that it is no longer original or interesting<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><img class="mainImage" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/1/7/8/b/1194986119986354320another_apple_01.svg.hi.png" style="background-color: white; height: 407px; width: 360px;" /></a><br />
This made me think of the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." I'm pretty sure it didn't raise the consumption of apples and you should definitely still get regular check ups from your physician.<br />
<br />
4.) Climax<br />
the most interesting and exciting part of something : the high point<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><img class="mainImage" src="http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4813255118227161&pid=1.7" style="height: 407px; width: 407px;" /></a><br />
I immediately started singing Usher's <em>Climax</em> in my head and while it doesn't exactly have to do with literature in this case, it does relate.<br />
<br />
5.) Colloquialism<br />
a word, phrase or paralanguage that is employed in conversational or informal language but not in formal speech or formal writing.<br />
