Pearl Jam "Jeremy" ((6))


Jeremy is a little boy that never got any attention from his parents and was picked on by his classmates. He was a quiet boy, yet with his actions, spoke in class that day. He was in his own little world and felt regected. With being picked on, he was unleashed. He took his anger out on everyone that picked on him; made them feel guilty for ever doing that. He didn't directly hurt them, from what was shown in the video, but later on in life made his classmated feel the pain he did. In this song and video, they are trying to inform you of what some kid and the classmates went through; trying to make you feel the pain too. Poor Jeremy felt as though he was on top of his world when he made his impact on many lives.

My Writing ((5))



Im going to be honest. im not the greatest writer. matter of fact, i don't see how my writing got me into this AP class. I do believe my strength would be that i always understand the topic i have to write about. My weakness would be that i cant get it out on paper and make it good. i feel like i can do so much better, but it just doesnt come out that way. i think that if i learn better words to put in place of some things it would help. Also just overall bettering my writing would help. i mean, not everyone is perfect at writing.

Can you tell if your really intelligent? ((4))


How do you know if someone is really intelligent? How do you know that their really smart or just saying a bunch of bullcrap? Everyone at one point in their lives have met someone who thinks they know everything. Well I think its impossible to learn everything. Sometimes you just want to tell that person to just shutup and go read a book or something. Someone who is really intelligent do not try to brag about there smarts. When the time comes and they know its right, they say something. Others on the other hand, just yell things out at the inappropriate time. An intelligent person is someone you can go to talk to, or a person who helps you make hard decisions. They have much common sense as to what to say and when to say it. They don’t think they are better than others. Intelligence comes in many ways. Different people are intelligent in different ways, not all for the same reason. An intelligent person is someone who can understand everything that is thrown at them, yet isn’t a meat head about things. Also, they don’t try to act stupid or immature. Intelligent people act mature in everything. They don’t just take a situation and become immature and then in another situation act mature. That’s a person who thinks they just know it all but aren’t intelligent. Intelligent people know that they don’t know it all but try to gather as much information as they can. So are you saying bullcrap or are you really intelligent????

Truth, Belief, and Knowledge((3))


What can you gain from belief, truth, and knowledge? What do all of these have in common? How are all of these different? Well, due to some knowledge in class, i believe many things from this theory. But if you look at it, everything can be true.Due to some callous, complex thinking really cleared a few things up to me. I hope you can understand my thoughts.

Truth, Belief, and Knowledge are all the same in one way but different in another. They both go hand in hand with the other, if you look at it at a certain perspective. Looking at knowledge..knowledge is something you know, something you acquire from the things around you. Truth... is something that is true..actuality..not like a lie..basically the opposite of a lie. You gain the truth from the knowledge you build. Belief.. (like God)..is something you think of in your own way, it does not need to explained, nor do you need to argue your beliefs. given that we are handed a bible that seems to be true, knowledge comes from it with beliefs. Your knowledge can be true if you believe, but if everyones beliefs are different, how do we know the knowledge that everyone has is true? it could just be what they believe is the truth. But looking at Plato's venn diagram makes me question everything i know about knowledge, truth and belief. Your knowledge relates to what you believe to be true. And truth comes from what you believe from your knowledge. And belief comes from everything that is true and your knowledge to what you think is true. Not only that, knowledge can stand out on its own. Everything is twisted together and really gets you to start thinking.

so how exactly can we differ these things from each other???
