1) What was a memorable story, video, or quote you saw?

The most memorable story i saw was the video Elsie Sethi.
It was memorable to me because it shows how she sort of grew as a person mature wise.Like at first she didnt even know she was gay,and then she got a gf and snuck to places with her and was even afriad to hold her hand out in public.But eventually she just didnt care anymore and learned to accept that fact of who she was.Then she went everywhere with her g.f without a care in the world because she knew who she was praised that.My favorite quote was when she said that "no one asks me who i'm going to prom with" I just think its cute lol.



2) If you could speak out to a group of homophobes (those who hate gay people) what would you say to them?

You know people have died and for years try to stop society from hating one's race,gender,color of their skin,and just the way they look in general.This has been going on forever.But now after hundeds of thousands of years its still going on?
Have we not learned anything from history?MLK JR? What I wanna know is that what is it about gay people that make you guys tick? Big deal some men like men and some women like women.But what does that have to do with you?Why can't they live in peace? Must hundreds of them commit sucide a year bexause you cant bear the thought of you walking down the street and seeing two guys holding hands?,kissing?,hell adopting kids?What are they no people too? They already feel like outcast,society hating their guts and damning them to hell for something that wasn't their choice.You think people wake up one day and their like "hmm i think ima be gay now!Get jumped have half of the world hate,be isolated from the people who used to love me! Boy I can't wait!! :)" No it's not like that.They can't help who they love.I have gay people in my life and it makes no difference if they were straight.I love them and they love me.I dont think of them anyother way no matter how famboyent.I have a lesbian aunt who has two beautiful daughters whom i love so much.What im saying is that gay ppl don't have to be your best friends,but just be open minded.Dont hate someone for who they love because at least their lovin instead of hating.If your mom,dad,bffl was gay would you hate them too?Just remember love is love no mater where or who its coming from.

Break Up!!!

1. Pretend you are the girlfriend in this video. Write a break-up email to your boyfriend now that you know he broke into your social networking account. Include all the reasons that led to your decision to break up with him.

Listen,sorry to tell you this over email but we are OVER.Breaking into my facebook account is too much...You went to far.I need space if you really wanted to find out if I was seeing someone you could have ask,i would have told you.In future refrence when you get another girlfriend heres some advice.Dont freak her out by going all control phyco on her,that will turn you into a scary maniac."NO ONE" and i quote "NO ONE"
wants that.The sad part is that i really liked you,but if you cant trust me then where can we go from where we started?Think about that...

Bye.
2. Pretend you are the boyfriend in this video. Write an apology email for breaking into your girlfriend’s social networking account (it better be good!) Include all the reasons you know what you did was wrong and how you will make it up to her.

Listen,i know you dont wanna hear from me at all but I just have to let you know that im so sorry for breaking into your facebook account.I mean i guess got a little jealous of you talking so someone else.I knew it was wrong because the key thing in a solid relationship is trust.And i apoligize for not having that with you,i was stupid for going so far to invading your privacy.It was wrong we both know that and hopefully we can get past that.I just hope you'll give me another chance because i really didnt want to let you go.Ill make everrything up to you,i promise whatever you want.
If you need space then i understand..
Bye

'Random Rant'

It is said by some people that you only fall in love once
That its a one in a life time thing
that you should catch it before its gone,lost,fallen
But they don't tell you what to do when you keep trying to
catch it but it's slipping away.
When all you want is that person that dude
And you just can't have that
Everyone trys but no one can really define love
in words,feelings,taste,touch its impossible
Yet the word impossible states that "im possible"
It's undescribeable so who ever can tell what love is without getting tounge tied or
can do a step by step word for word is wrong.
Sometimes I don't even believe in love
its like there are 200 different types for over 5 billion ppl.

1. Which answer did you pick first? Why?

I picked C first because I hate when people snoop around.Also if that was his girlfriend then he should TRUST her.Also what if he DID find something?Who would want to hear it from a web page?

2. Can you think of other things that people do online that they wouldn’t normally do in person? Give examples.

Some people or most have a very different personality online than in person.Also they talk shit about their "friends"because its like the internet has some type of magical force to make teens go crazy.The internet is a drug.

3. How important is your privacy online? Do you care if your friends know your passwords? If you have one, do you let anyone view your Facebook pages? Explain.

I do care about privacy online.I dont really trust the internet that much,though i put a lot of info on my facebook page.My friends deffenitly dont have my password becUSE friendships end and they could do some messed up crap.

Saddest Song

One of the saddest and one of my favorite songs are Cancer by My chemical Romance
Its not only a sad topic but the way its sung and the music makes you think.About life,family,anything But it mostly makes me think about my family and where they stand to me and where I stand to them.Every time i hear this song I always just relize how much life can slip away.I think everyone can somehow relate to it,here are the lyrics:

Turn away,If you could get me a drink of water cuz my lips are chapped and faded call my ant marie. Tell her gather all my things,are bury me in all my favorite colors.

My sister and my brothers still,I will not kiss you... cuz the hardest part of this is leaving you...
Now turn away,cuz im awful just to see,cuz all my hairs abanded all my body,oh my agony
Know that I will never marry! Baby im just soggy from the kimo,but counting down the days to go,it just ain't living! And I just hope you know...

That if you say,goodbye today... I'd ask you to be true

cuz the hardest part of this is leaving you...

cuz the hardest part of this is leaving you...

Ayiti the cost of life.

1) How is Ayiti different from 3rd World Farmer? How is it the same?
I never played 3rd world farmer,so i wouldnt really know...

2) What strategies did you use? For example, did you combine work and school, or did you send everyone to work? Which worked? Which did not?
Well at first i wanted to do a combination of both work and school.But it turns out that its not easy at all to do.People kept getting sick so that cost money,clothes,food and lots more,i didnt expect that.So really i mostly stuck to working because education just didnt seem that vital to me,its either starve and get sick or be smart.You dont really get a choice,because the cash was low and it wasnt that helpful right then.

3) Why would parents choose to devote so much effort to sending their children to school? What obstacles did you face in trying to keep them in school?
Because they want to let their children have what they didnt.Also going to school and being smarter lets you have a better and well paid job.In the end their carers are unlimited.I couldnt send them to school...


** BONUS **

4. What would the game “Lower East Side: The Cost of Life” look like? What choices would your family have to make to be happy, healthy, have money, and be well-educated. What obstacles would stand in your way?
Well it wouldnt be too different,just with bigger houses and more oppertunies.For example I would compare this with college,because unless you get a schooler ship or money loan,youd have to pay lots of money.I think for my family theyd mostly want me to get educated,get the money from that and then be happy from the money.For thatd be good because happyness cant really get you anywhere.Education is important though college doesnt give automatic success.You have to play it out.

Text vs. Talk?

I barely talk on the phone anymore.I wouldnt say its rude but its kinda annoying.Like really only your closest or best friends call you.No one really just calls to say hi anymore you can txt that.Plus it can get awkard.I really only call someone to make plans,if im really bored or if i really dont feel like texting the whole thing out.I admit to sometimes igoring calls,cuz im like"why not just text me that?"

Sexting

Never ever would i do that.What really kind of girl do u think i am? Reason 1:did u kno that both of us could be aressted for that?not only is it dirty and stupid but you could be charged as a sex offender.Reason 2:It spreads.No mater what u think happens everything stays in the internet.Did u no that dozens every year commit suicide for these kinda things.soo helll nooo.Find someone else to do ur dirty deeds.

Rock Paper Or Scissors

I think the code for the computer hand will be the same as the human because both has to have the same code to switch costumes.Also i think it will be different because the robot hand will be random while the human hand it chosen.

Rock Paper Or Scissors?

With the game of rock paper scissors,the player is against a robot.I think that the stragity that the computer uses is memory and common sense.With the memory part the robot tries to find a pattern that you keep using.For example you might always put rock then scissors then rock again then paper without even noticing it.But the computer does.So it then does the compleate oppisite.Also with the common sense part the robot can try to think like you do.Another example is that say if you chose rock and the robot does paper.With your next turn your most likely to chose something different like paper or scissors.The computer then takes note of that uses it against it.Cuz your most likely not to chose the same thing again.

1) Describe with as much detail as possible, what the detention centers are like (i.e., the bathrooms, medical facilities, cells, solitary confinement, etc.)
The detention centers are really bad,and everything is either too open or to closed up.For example the bathrooms are simple and there are no doors so everyone can see everything.Also in the medical centers people have to wait for hours just to get seen by a nurse or doctor.The cells are closed up and very small and most people have t stay in there are like 22 hours.


2) How did playing this game make you feel?
It made me feel really bad like for some reason it was my fault this was happening just because it was so close to everyone.It also made me want to do something to help our.


3) What do you think the Unites States should do differently with their immigrants?
They shouldnt lock them up,because they didnt do anything wrong.They should at least treat them with kindness

** EXTRA CREDIT **

4) If you finished the game, what did you find out about Boubacar’s death?


5) Now that you’re officially a game designer, how would you improve this game?
I would make things way more grapic and put things with more detail.I would also have more things to do.

Extra Credit

1.
One time,I was outside the school with some friends and this lady who was waiting for her kid or whatever sitting on the ledge.A boy by mistake sat on her leg and she yelled at him.He apologized and moved on.One thing led to another and they ended up having a spitting fight.It was both epic and really really really gross.The next day she came to the school again and started blaming this total different kid and still insisted that he was the one who spit on her.I think that she chose to blame hi mainly because of his age.Sine he was a teenager she believed that people around his age were most likely to comitting such a horrible thing.Not all teenagers are care free and rude.

Extra Credit Public Rights

1. 1. Why should people have right to public assembly (to gather in one place for a reason)?
People should have rights to public assembly,because it gives us a right to be free.Everything is always wrapped around the goverment,the law,ect,and often we can never say our side because no one will listen,we are tied down.So our only option is to express of feelings of that problem in a way that mostly everyone will listen.We tell the public,that way everyone will listen.We live in this world too.We also have rights and will take any matters to get our point accross.

2. How exactly do you think technology helped protestors in the Middle East to assemble (Hint: think about texting, Facebook and Twitter)?
I think it helped them because,well since it's 2011 most if not all of society uses technology,so therefore if someone uses the power of the internet.Most likely a lot of people will see it.

3. February is Black History Month. How did public assembly help the civil rights movement
Public assembly helped the civil rights movement because even though they didn't have internet,they still went on strike and got the public's attention the old school way.That way many people got the message that black people wearn't being treated fairly.

4. What would the civil rights movement have looked like if they had the Internet and cell phones?
Everything would have gone so much smoother,because they could have gotten the message accross so much quicker,but not clearer.
