IRA Peak final reflection

So over the course of this semester I have been reading Peak.  It is a good book but I had a hard time forcing myself to read it.  It wasn't like Hunger games where I couldn't wait to find the time to continue reading it.  I always found time to do it but put it off and just didn't read it.  when I did read it it was fantastic and well written to keep you attached to it.
So in the end of the book Peak got to 10 feet before the peak of Everest and didn't finish and let Sun-Jo be the youngest to ever reach the top.  He did it because it would change sun-jo's life and bring him tons of money and allow him to take his bros and sisters to school.  We also learned that Sun-Jo's dad actually saved Peaks father and that is one of the reasons that Peak felt an obligation to let him up first.  It is odd since Peak made it up easily and Sun-Jo had to be helped up, but Sun-Jo needed to make it up and go down the other side or else he would have been arrested and detained by the police.  Peak agreed to never try to climb everest again and the book ended with him going to his sisters birthday party.
It is hard to fathom that Peak made it all that way and then decides not to finish, It is very unselfish and just doesn't seem right.  It was a great written book and I would recomend all to read it.

Saturday

So our group didn't get everything done in class so we decided to meet at the school to try and finish our video and just plain do work.  We meet at 12 after dallas, gibler, and jerrin got back from a choir/band thing.  so we did alot of filming on Sat. I think we did like 5 scenes.  The scenes all went very well but some of them we had a hard time thinking how to portray a certain theme.
After that we gave the footage to Jerrin to put it all together and edit all the parts.  I haven't seen the finished product yet but I'm sure it will be good.  He has said that he has it all done but he still has some exta fire to put in and another comercial to add in.  I can't wait to see it tommorow and I will put another blog to put my reflections on how good it is lol.

Week in Review to this point in our project

So this week we got our project going pretty well.  We started our filming on tuesday and it went slow on that day because we were missing both Dallas and Micheal (not sure how you spell his name but that looks good) so we were very limited on what we could do.  But I was gone on Wed. so they couldn't do much either, but between those days we were able to film both of our comercials and a new comercial that we are going to write into the script sometime.
On thursday it got real, even though we were missing Jerrin we were able to do alot of stuff.  We filmed a couple different clips and it went pretty well and I think turned out great.  We will film all the interview stuff today if we can because we will need the couch.  We will try to get it all done because I won't be able to stay after school because I have golf, and so does micheal.  But it is going good but we are crunched for time.

Reflection Operation Fire Dolphin

This week we did a write up and told what each of our jobs will be during this project.  We are going to do a movie so it should be really cool.  Our aim is to do a half comedy half talk show.  We are going to use clips of different parts in the books to display the different themes in this book.  We got a bit sidetracted by drawing fire dolphin but that was well worth it.
We started working on our script which is really good so far but we still have a bit to do.  I think our thing is going to be really funny.  We have a good group with alot of unique creative Ideas that will keep our video fresh and cool.  With how much fun our group is going to have I can't see us finding this project hard because it will be fun.  As of right now I am only an Actor but I also help Dallas with writing the script and formulating Ideas.

8 postsecrets

I found this one halarious.  When reading it I was expecting it to say heart but then left turn it's funny.  But what I think this one means is that the soilders parents accepted his girlfriend/wife as family and love her enough to give her a momento of his.  She obviously still loves him and will always hold him close to her heart/boobs lol.


I see this as a wedding that she invited many of her friends and family but none of them showed up because she pushed them away and I assume mean.  She was also ignorant about this revalation right up until her wedding.  Very sad post to think that maybe all the friends I think I have actually resent me behind my back.  But I don't think that is true.


I have walked up 18 flights of stairs only once and I will never do that again.  that being said I think she might have got her phobia from all the spy movies where they drop the elavator many floors by cutting the top cable.  But the underlying theme of this is the guy who walked down with her, it helps to show that humans are generally nice and will accompany others if they need help.




I love this one because I can see it being true.  Everyone is reading now adays and they are all reading these books.  I refuse to read the first two but the third one I gave into.  I applaud this persons refusal to read and give in to peer presure.  It's not a bad habit they are trying to force you to do but it still is the peer presure that you never hear about.  And then on the front they show that they read Harry Potter so that is good, cuz Harry Potter is awesome.  I like the front of the card better because it reminds me of the many different times in our class that we have talked about Harry Potter and related every book to that book.


I think this one talks about how preist aren't allowed to do things that parishoners can do like, they aren't allowed to get married or have families.  This could put a huge burden on a man to never be able to get married and I could see that some days he would feel that his collar could be stopping him from having a different life.


living life to the fullest is this kids one dream which I think is a dream we should always want to achieve.  I too want to enjoy life to the fullest but I have never thought of it this way where it will show physically even when you are old.


This plays off of the concept of ignorance is bliss.  I just noticed that the Lie is underlined and this is significant because everything that you once believed in is actually a lie such as the Easter Bunny and Santa.  Ignorance is bliss because you never have to accept that everything you see is flawed in one way or another.

The truth shall set you free!!

I didn't mind the article but come on mrs. A it's prom why this weekend.  Now that I said the let's get down to business.
The article talked about the sacrament of confession, which being a catholic I could relate to it.  Whenever I gon into confession i tell my sins and leave feeling really good about myself.  I just have a great feeling radiates throughout my body that lets me know all my sins were forgiven.  I've never had trouble telling my Father that I have sinned because I know he can't tell anyone even if I told him I've killed 31 children and have 5 more in my basement, he couldn't tell anyone.  But I have trouble telling other people the truth because you can't trust all of them and fear being judged for the truth.  Postsecrets is a pretty neat program.
