The Treaty of Versailles

Although there is several points of view on whether the Treaty of Versailles was fair, in my opinion it was not. I believe this because I don't think Germany caused the war, because they were not the ones that assassinated archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Serbians did. Since the Germans were not the ones who caused the original problem that started the war I don't think they deserved such a big punishment.

What Is The Purpose of Religion?

The purpose of religion is to answer questions that people have about life, such as how we got here, where we go after we die or why bad things happen in this world. A lot of times people feel lost in life so they go to a religion to find a path and answers to the questions they have. Also if people feel alone in life they put their trust and belief in a god so they can feel united with someone.

This I Believe

• the name of the essay
• the belief being discussed
• a summary of the essay
• why did it appeal to you?

This essay is named 'A Duty To Heal'. The belief that the Kenyan doctor, Pius Kamau, discussed was about equality and how colored people weren't accepted in America. The doctor spoke about how one day a young American man came into the hospital and was coughing blood after being in a car accident. This man didn't allow Kamau to touch him and since none of the other doctors wanted to treat him, Kamau had to communicate with the nurses to try and help the young man. It turned out he wasn't badly hurt and that day at the hospital left the Kenyan doctor wondering what he could've possibly done to make their encounter better. I really liked this essay because the recording says 'He doesn't know the date but he picked September 1st, 1941 because he said it sounded like a good day.' I think that even though Kamau had no idea what the date was he still went on with his story, just like after the encounter with that racist, white man he still continued as a doctor and didn't give up just because of one bad visit with one person.

• I learn best when...
• I need to...
• The strategies that would help me in my learning...
• I would like my teachers to know this about me...

According to my profile, I learn best when focusing on the whole picture and I also learn better when when using visual and auditory tools.

I need to always make sure I have a clean workspace and my work is neat so I can improve on using both sides of my brain, I need to make sure I don't stress myself easily so I can continue to listen and understand class easily.

To improve on my learning, I need to start using linear aspects of life and learning. I also need to have and integrative balance of art, music, movement and interpersonal.

I would like my teachers to know that even if I don't need to it would be best to place me in the centre of the front of class so I can use my dominant ear and eye.

Summary of Hercules Story

Hercules is the son of Zeus. Because of his strength Zeus got him three teachers. One day Hercules was walking in the forest and met Virtue and Vice, they needed to know whether Hercules wanted an easy, laid back life or a hard, heroic one. He chose the hard one. Once he got home he was trying to remember a tune that he had heard that day in the forest but his music teacher interrupted him. Hercules was very mad because of that and he almost killed his teacher.

Greek Mythology

Which story did you enjoy most and why?

I would have to say I like Daedalus and Icarus more compared to Theseus and The Minotaur. I like the story about Daedalus more because he was so sad about Icarus dying it made the story really touching. I also like it because of the creativity of Daedalus and how he got the ant to lead the gold thread through the shell. One of Daedalus' best times I think is when he figured out how to fly away from King Minos' grasp and he did it even if it lead to his son's death.

Was it the characters of the story you enjoyed?

I enjoyed the movie because of the characters but more because of the storyline. The story was sad and this kept me interested. The characters are interesting because they seem real even though it is a myth.

What do the themes have in common?

Both stories are about the interaction between two people. I liked the relationships. However, the theme I did not like is that the stories both ended in death for most of the characters.
