Quote Of The Day! 26/5/2015

"To Light a Light is to Cast a Shadow. One cannot exist without the other!"

Questions :

What does this quote mean? (It is symbolic - It has nothing to do with candle and flames) 

What shadow do you cast on your self?

 Describe how a character in a test you have read has experienced the thing.

I think that the best way to describe this quote would be through this image

This is the Yin Yang symbol. The Black part represents the bad and the white represents the good. in the image is shows that there is always a little good in the bad and a little bad in the good One cannot exist without the other.

In this quotes the shadow cannot exist without the Light Its exactly what "Yin Yang" represents There is always a little bad in the good and there is always a little good in the bad One cannot exist without the other.

Journal Prompt - Music

Tell me about a type of music you detest and why (2 specific reasons). Is this music just rubbish, or is it merely  that you don't like it? The beats are horrid? The lyrics are pointless? (provide a specific example and lyrics to support your position)

Well for one I do not enjoy listening to country music I personally think it's rubbish an example would be

"You ain't met my girl" by Jeremy Castle and the Lonesome Knights

I think it's because of all the TV shows I watched when I was little but whenever I think about country music it reminds me of like away from society type thing, If someone tries to kill you NO ONE will hear you scream type of environment so that kinda influences me a bit I think.

Kid's Mental Health Matters

Q : Does social media have a negative or positive impact on children’s mental health?

I think that social media has a very negative impact of children's mental health, Social media is virtual platform where anyone can emotionally hurt anyone quite easily without any form of punishment.

"Your words are weapons, be careful how you use them."

1 negative is that social media creates these false goals for people, Social media often advertises commercials that make you think you need to look a certain way or weigh a certain amount or have a certain thing to be what they call "Normal", Social Media can create a lot of mental issues, and eating disorders.

Another negative is Social media provides a false sense of connectivity

" According to Cornell University's Steven Strogatz, social media sites can make it more difficult for us to distinguish between the meaningful relationships we foster in the real world "

The Cheat Reading Response

1. Are you surprised that Rob stood up to his father?  Can you relate to this moment personally when you were finally able to face your fears?

I'm very surprised that Rob stood up to his father, Just because personally it doesn't seem like something that can be real Its something that's from a dream it can't really happen even though it seems so real. Its like that scene in that movie where that special agent runs away from like a hundred evil guys shooting at him, Its something that everyone wants to believe but is not real.

No I cannot relate to that moment where I faced my fears, I still have all my childhood fears, I'm not sure why... But yea I still have ALL of them.

2. Is Dan the Man the type of person you would hang around with at BHJMS? describe why or why you wouldn't hang out with a guy like Dan.  Create an example to highlight your position

I think that Dan the Man is a person that I would like to hang out with, I just think I would like his personality... I think this mostly because when I think of Dan The Man I think of Marshall... I don't know why... But I think I would just enjoy being around him.

3.We have finally seen Sarah show signs of cracking as she wonders why her mom cant seem to help her now and make her feel safe.  She has seemed so confident and sure of herself until now.  Can you relate to this moment in any aspects? The idea of appearing confident and sure of yourself all the while you are cracking on the inside.  The outer shell hides the inner feelings.

No I cannot relate to this I've never and I don't think I can ever relate to this moment just because I don't think that I'm confident so until I do feel confident I do not think I will ever get that moment
