Poem of thoughts

2009-05-20T10:48:00.000-07:00

Artist: Leonardo Da Vinci

Da Vinvi's painting is amazing because it gives you some type of optical illusion like the background and also the smile that that painting has. That painting has a mystery to it that smile that if you look really in and focus your attention you see that is not really a smile but a weard feeling that you can't understand.

Poet: John Stone

It is not what she did
at 10 o'clock
last evening

accounts for the smile

It is
that she plans
to do it again

tonight.

Only the mouth
all those years
ever

letting on.

It's not the mouth
exactly

it's not the eyes
exactly either

it's not even
exactly a smile

But, whatever,
I second the motion.

This poem explaining the painting's smile becasuse is not exact and it doesn't explain what is she laughting about is just there. the artist of the poem agreed with the feeling that she has that is not what she did but probably what she is going to do. my personal opinion is that both the painting and the poem are expressing their feelings.

NYSLAT PRACTICE # 4 (made up story)

2009-04-09T08:18:00.000-07:00

TASK #4

1.Describe what you see in each picture.
in the picture to the lefts i see a group of people in what looks like to be a chemistry lab and in the picture to the right it looks like an artist playing the piano and singing.

2.What skills or talents are these people enjoying? How are they sharing their talents with others? In the picture in the left the skills that those people seem to have it is to mix chemical because they are all in a chemistry lab and they seem to be sharing theirs skills to each other. and the picture in the right the skill that he is showing is singing and he seems to share his skill by singing to others.

What is something you would like to get better at? How could you develop your skills?
I would like to get better at running because I don't have enough stamina and I think I can get better at it by going to the gym and running in the machines.

Write an essay about how you can get better at something you like to do and how you might share your talent with others. Give examples of people who might teach you how to develop new skills. Use your ideas from the pre-Writing questions to add details to your writing.

There is this thing I have always being bad at, since I was a kid I always wanted to be really fast running but I would never advance and get better at it so now am planing to get better at it and I think that i can share this with many people. There aren't many people that come to my head when I try to think of who can help me to accomplish my dream.

First, If I become really fast then I think I can share my skills with many people by entering to races and if am good enough I might even go to the Olympics if that happens I would do my best to get known by everyone and to shown how good i am when it comes to it but that will only happen if i become better at running.

Second, know that I think better about what type of person would help me to accomplish my dream I think that a health professor or a physician would help me by telling me what to do and how to train, what and what is good for my health or telling me what exercise will work better on stamina.

In conclusion skills are really very important, everyone has something that they want to get better at because there is always that person that is smarter or sing and dance better than you getting better is something you can do but only if you work hard and find help.Did you know that many people in the unites states never accomplish their goals because they don't put enough effort in to it.

Dear Principal

I am writing to inform you of my concerns about the school's standards and Homeworks that are in New York City High School. As a parent, I understand how good your skill standards are and I appreciate what you have done for my child's education.

The education in your school is really advance and well prepare but, am afraid that the kids are stressing out and can't handle this situation. Homework as big as 8,9 pages every days is getting to them and am not saying it because of my son.

New York City High is stressing the kids out with that many activities for the kids, even though there all smart kids it is hard for them too keep track of all the home works and activities at the same time.

I know that you want to keep does standards at their top but, is not healthy for the kids to keep going like know. I think that what you could do is to create some after school programs for the kids so that they don't have to over do with the homework and instead they learn from a teacher.

I am looking forward to your answer. I want for the kids to be less stress so am planing to create a proggram with other parents that feel the same way as me.

Sincerely,

Yovanny Hernandez

TECHNOLOGY

2008-04-10T10:59:00.000-07:00

New Technology Now Plays A Part In All Our Lives.

There have been some dramatic changes in the past years in this areas; transportation, technology, medical advances and space exploration. There is a big possibility that in the future there are going to be significant changes in transportation, medical advances and space exploration.

Some of the biggest developments on transportation are the airplane and the hybrid car they are both big developments because they are really efficients transportation methods, In the future they are likely to be some other changes in transportation maybe we are not going to use airplanes any more maybe we are going to fly using our own cars.

The second area of significant change is likely to be the medical advance, even though we have come along way sense we start using medicine to cure injuries, We may be better in the future maybe we will live until 150 years, maybe in the future the will find a cure for cancer and AIDS.

The biggest Scientific development we ever done is the space exploration because not until a few years ago we didn't now how space was like when a few mans went to the moon and told us how it was, In the future the people may even live in the space maybe the find another planet with the characteristics that earth has and who knows maybe that can even find live in another planet.

To conclude, I expect some dramatic changes in some areas like transportation, medical advances and space exploration.

NEW TECHNOLOGY

2008-04-09T06:38:00.001-07:00

Name: Yovanny Hernandez

There have been significant changes over the past 100 years in three main areas (e.g. electricity, motorized transport, aircraft, space exploration, medical advances, computer technology)
There are likely to be changes in the following 3 areas: information technology, biotechnology and alternative energy sources.

Major changes have taken in computer technology that has developed rapidly in the past few decades (e.g. Bill Clinton became US pres. in Jan 1993 - only 50 WebPages on the Internet!) This is still likely to be a major area of change in the coming decades: e.g. computerized houses, where your fridge can be programmed to order fresh milk.

The first of change is likely to be biotechnology, Genetically modified crops will be grown in climates that were previously impossible (e.g. wheat in semi-arid areas and tropical fruits in the far north) and will have higher yields than in the past.Livestock will be modified to produce higher yields of milk and meat.Human beings will be modified to eliminate inherited diseases (disorders or diseases you are born with, passed on by your parents’ genes.

The second area of change is likely to be a that alternative energy sources a major challenge facing the world at the end of the 20th century = global warming resulting from man-made pollution. It is likely that alternative energy sources will soon be exploited more seriously. Solar, wind and wave energy.Nuclear energy? Perhaps we will abandon high-speed vehicles and accept slower, more energy-efficient ones?

In conclusion, we can expect major changes in the areas of information technology, biotechnology and alternative energy sources.

One Should Nerver Give Up

A person should never give up, even though Martin Luther king was risking his life he didn’t give up. For example he delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, he was really brave and he wasn’t afraid of the threats. He followed his dream until the end and he died because of his dream.

He delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech even though some people had told him that if he didn’t stop his protest, they were going to kill him, however, he didn’t stop. He kept on fighting for his dream. He went to all of the speeches and tried as much as he could to end the racism against the black race. He was as stubborn as a lion trying to get his food and because of that he died when he was to lead a march of sanitation workers protesting against low wages and poor working conditions on April 4, 1968.

He was a really brave man because, instead of backing down, he went even deeper and he lived and died for his dream.

I am a great admirer of Martin Luther King because of many reasons and the most important reason is that he was really stubborn when it came to perusing his dream and that is what I admire more than anything else about him.

Two schools

2008-03-27T13:17:00.001-07:00

The school I.S. 145 and I.S. 235 have a lot in common. Both schools are crowded and that they both have good teachers but they have one difference and that is one of them has a lot of rules and the other one doesn’t.

There are a lot of students in both of the schools. There are about 2000 students in both of them. The hallways are very crowded and they have more crowded classes

In both schools, teachers are really nice to students. They try to make all the things easier for us in any language or way. If you don’t understand something they translate to your own language so you can understand.

The difference is that I.S. 235 has a lot of rules and that I.S. 145 doesn’t. For example, once, I was sitting in front of a girl that I didn’t even know and I got in trouble because I was too close to her.

To conclude, both schools are the same in terms of the population and quality of teachers and they are different in terms of how strict they apply the rules.

The age to drink is wrong!

Some people say that the age for a man to drink is 21 or higher, however some teenagers that are in the war fighting are under age and they can kill and been kill but they can't drink a lazy beer they go to war some of them come crazy and many of them never return because they die on battle and even when they are killing people and risking their lives they can’t drink alcohol.

The people say that the teenagers shouldn’t drink alcohol under age because they don’t know how to control their body, but they let teenagers drive and they let them kill peoples like what happening on Iraq and if they can kill a man They should be aloud to drink at list a beer.it doesn't seens fare that they can be send to war they can be kill in war and they can't drink a beer.

There are some mans on this country that tell their sons and daughers not to drink alcohol that sound right to me, but however there are some of them that say the same thing but they drink to so if you want your son to do what you want first do the example is no llke a verb I heard it sound much like this "do what I say no what I do" and it doesn't seens much fare to me.

Some people think that the teenagers Shouldn't be aloud to drink alcohol because the can't handle the effects of using alcohol like distorted vision hearing and coordination, but infact no man if it drinks can control him self and every body lose coordination and vision when they are drinking alcohol.

I don't think is fare That even when the teenagers that are fighting on Iraq return from the war they can't celebrate drinking a beer like many soldiers do with their partners and family because it is no fare that a some soldiers can drink but others doesn't.
