A sense of place 3/29

I think that Victor Hugo starts out a new section with describing the setting because he wants us to know the surroundings that affected his characters. I think that the places that we live in or the places that we go to everyday affect us because they are what brings us joy, hard work, sadness, and all kinds of other feelings. If you think about it, you can say that you’ve always wanted to live in this huge mansion and when you finally do you can become the happiest, most grateful person or you can become one of the most depressing, selfish people ever. The setting does affect who we are.

So little by little I would be changing the time that I would wake up and then I also changed my morning routine to the point where I would now shower in the mornings. Starting to shower in the mornings was a good idea because it has me awake. It would have me as awake as a person who for the first time would have Dr. Preston drop a textbook just to prove a point. Coming into Dr.Preston’s class each day is not the same as coming into any other English class. Each day we get a minute of mindfulness and that isn’t given to us each day by any oth...

The Right to Your Opinion

I’ve heard many people say that we have the right to our opinion, but I feel like most of the time we really don’t. Sometimes we share our opinions and they are ignored, people get offended or our opinions just don’t help us in any sort of way.
