FINAL GRADE FOR THIS YEAR

I think an 85 is sufficient for this marking period because I dont know if I met the requirements for improving my work.

Introduction

In “Note 29” by Sherwood Anderson and “Walking Distance” by Debra Allbery, they both share a similar outlook on the nature of work. Work alone is often thought of as physical labor, which is done to get money and put food on the table. When people have jobs, it’s usually meant to fulfill their needs to live comfortably and also enjoy what they’re doing everyday for a career. The nature of work will have diverse effects on each individual, because not everyone is interested in the same specific qualities.

Lab grade

I believe that a 90% grade for this quarter would be about right, because I've only missed one class and I got caught up on what I missed. I try to reach all the requirements needed for each activity we do. Though I do tend to rush to get it done in time, therefore some of my work might not be as well organized as it could be.

Social Studies Essay

During history, many individuals brought about great changes. Though the way in which these individuals brought about changes was done in different manner, it left a major impact on its people. These outcomes from certain changes have not only changed the way in which people may look at things but also the way in which they live in present times. Throughout history negative and positive changes have been made for better and in some cases worse.
After studying with Plato, Aristotle became very knowledgeable of many subjects such as biology, zoology, politics, government, and much more. It is said that with all of Aristotle’s Greek knowledge he himself could have made an encyclopedia. With this knowledge he went on to make conceptions about logic, which even his mentor Plato had a difficult time with. This new idea of logic and reasoning brought to the world a whole new idea of looking at mathematics. Through his works of zoology, Aristotle came up with an improved method of classifying animals into two different categories. This new method was used centuries after his death. These new methods or ideas of trying to improve certain aspects of life also improved the way in which people lived.
Once sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment, but let out after 2, Fidel Castro was a Cuban who strongly disliked Fulgencio Batista’s government. Therefore, Castro launched an attack on the barracks, eventually leading to many deaths and his capture. Once he was released from exile he started an all out war with Batista for Cuba, eventually forming a Marxist revolution. Once he had arrived to Cuba he gained many rebel volunteers which helped him over throw Batista. He had also performed a famous speech to the judge he appeared in front of, which may have slightly changed the outcome of his time in prison. Fidel Castro’s reasoning for starting a war because he disliked the government made I seem like he was an irrational person, and once in control the citizens under his government were in trouble.
Though some changes that have been brought about throughout history can have positive effects, it’s not out of the ordinary to learn about an individual that had done such immoral deeds to rise to the top. These changes have also greatly affected the way people live and work today. Changes have also broadened the knowledge of most people due to these positive and negative changes brought about.

Adirondack Adventure

Hoping that this day would come, I excitedly gathered up all of my equipment I would need for this certain trip. Tired from the late bow fishing tournament from the night before, I grabbed my walker coonhound, Gunner, and loaded him into the back of my truck. Gunner, the clumsiest coondog, stared at me with a deer in the headlights look. He wasn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but he could get the job done. My mom, with her eyebrows tilted, stood next to my truck and said she didn’t think this was one of my better decisions, so I settled her down by saying everything would be fine and that I would be extra careful. Gunner, his ears propped up, sat in the pickup truck with anxiety, and off to the Adirondacks we went. When we got there, I met up with a friend of mine who was also in for the coonhunting adventure. Before setting up camp we thought we’d go out with both our dogs and see what we could stir up. As we walked towards one of its cliffs both dogs caught a sent and took off into the bushes ahead. Running as fast as our legs would allow us, we caught up to the dogs. Shocked at this amazing sight, I was too scared to mumble a single word. The dogs had backed a cougar up to the edge of the cliff. Knowing what could happen, I raised my Winchester 12 gauge up to my shoulder just incase the cougar attacked. Copper, the bigger coondog, was side by side with my dog, both barking ferociously at this amazing animal. The tension was unbearable. Exhausted from the hike, I begin to zone out. BANG! There was a shot fired…
