Gatsby's Dream

Gatsby had many things in his life. friends, money, everyone knew him. one thing he didn't have was Daisy. having an American dream is wanting something you don't have, and doing whatever it took to get that dream. Gatsby although he was a bit of a creep to get daisy he went after what he wanted he risked himself and did whatever it took to get his girl. i do think before he died he got half of his dream. he had Daisy for a little bit but he saw her going back to Tom and after that he got killed. He had a taste of what his American dream was.

history in 100 years

in 100 years from now people in history will be learning about many different things. one things i would teach in on May 1st 2011. Barack Obama announced that Osama bin Laden was killed during an American military operation. i think along with this goes 9/11 and how it brought everyone together. i think this day is very memorable for people who lost someone in 9/11 and not just that the whole US. i feel like by him dying helped us feel a little bit better and safer again knowing the man that hurt so many people was dead. i don't think the people learning this will take it so hard as we all did but its just like how we love how slavery was over but we weren't there to really appreciate it.

Gatsby's Dream

I think Gatsby wanted people to like him. He wanted Daisy to fall in love with him, but that didn't work, he threw parties so people could meet him. Also I think he wanted everyone to like him, Daisy didn't marry him because he was poor and she wasn't. He almost got his dream, but he didn't. If he tried harder I think his dreams would come true.

American Dream

Gatsby's american dream was to win Daisy, and he didn't accomplish it. I don't think that the American Dream was to be rich or famous, even though he was both of these things. Gatsby only cared about pleasing Daisy, and making her happy. He had many parties but he didn't care who went, because being rich and famous was not something he cared about. Gatsby's american dream was to win Daisy, but he never accomplished it because he was murdered by Myrtle's husband George.

GATSBY'S DREAM.

I believe that Gatsby accomplished his dreams, since Daisy wasn't part of his dreams. them fact that Gatsby was poor before, and he got all this money, is one of the accomplished dreams he had. He wanted to get back daisy but in life, things don't go as planned.

Gatsby's Dream

Gatsby's American dream was to be successful and have a lot of money. Yes in a way and no in a way because his main goal was to be sucessful and thats what he did but no because one of his goals weren't loving daisy and when diasy left him and started new life his dream was to get her back because his plans did not involve love but he loved daisy. After this his dream involved daisy and having a life with her. So I say yes and no.

Gatsby

i dont think Gatsbys American Dream was ever accomplished. he had money but that didnt really satisfy his hunger for the American Dream. Gatsby had the life but didnt seem to care much for. for example, he had parties at his house but he never really partied. the only thing that could really complete his american dream was Daisy. she was married and he wanted her. this was probably his biggest downfall because he eventually dies by the actions of the girl he loved

Gatsby

I think Gatsby accomplished some of his dreams but not all of them. The first dream was to be with Daisy but at the end she left him for the money and Tom. I guess you could say his second dream was to have kids with Daisy and have a family. The dreams he completed was that he had a house and money. He failed to complete his American dream of having money, a house, and family of his own with Daisy.

I think Gatsby's American dream was to be rich and be with the love of his life, Daisy. I don't think his dream was ever accomplished the way he wanted it to be. The reason I believe this is because he only did the parties in order to be able to see Daisy; he got rich to give Daisy what she wanted. Gatsby wanted Daisy to leave her husband and go back with him, but that didn't happened she left him with all the problems. He died without his family and without the girl he loved next to him. He didn't accomplish anything.

Quarter 2 - English: The Great Gatsby

We talked about the American Dream and what that meant in the 1920s as well as what it means today. (Think about Neil Diamond) But, what do you think that Gatsby's American Dream was? Do you think that he achieved his dream before he was killed? Explain both your answers and use evidence from the book to back yourself up.

100 years from now

i think the most important thing kids in 100 years are going to need to learn is Osama bin Laden, the suspected mastermind behind the September 11 attacks and the FBI's most wanted man is killed by the United States special forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

100 years from now

In 100 years from now the teachers will be talking about the day the tsunami that happened in Japan, it caused a lot of damage and scared a lot of people, because that had never happened before in Japan. This is something that people will remember later on in the future and will be taught to students because of the big impact it had on the United States.

I believe that in the future students will be learning about acceptence. 2011 was the most understanding year, understanding in gays and in races. Heaven knows how the future will be but i know some how it will be better than this. Over time things change and sometimes it can be for the better, but better seems more likely than for the worst. Sure there are still some horrible things in the world that people are doing to other people but it's way better than the things that happened in the far past.

100 years from now.

100 years from now I think fremd history students should know what importants that happened in 2011 like the nuclear crisis in Japan because no country wants to see another country be in that sitituation and a lot of people might lose their lives. Also Osama Bin Laden being killed because he was a big part of 9/11 and got away with for years without being find and living his life instead of being punished for what he did. Finally North Korean's president died this year so the goverment might get a little better because kim jong was horrible person.

I think in 2112 students will look back on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. The reason being that I choose this is because no one will ever forget this tragedy. And also being that it was the 10 year anniversary. This is what I think students will look back on in 2112.

I think students at Fremd High School, 100 years from now should be learing about what happened on April 29th the wedding of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Kate Middleton. I think that the Students should learn about this topic because it was a very big day for everyone in the world. Also who would love to talk about history weddings from 2011!

100 year from now

I think students at Fremd High School, 100 years from now should be learing about what happened August of 2011. What happened August of 2011 is "Last-Minute Deal Reached to End Debt Crisis (Aug. 1): After days of disagreement, Congress makes an 11th-hour deal to prevent a national default. Neither side—Democrats nor Republicans—emerges as a clear winner in the agreement. The deal raises the debt ceiling in two steps to $2.4 trillion and cuts an initial $1 trillion in spending over ten years. Also, a bipartisan committee will be formed to recommend $1.5 trillion in additional budget cuts. If Congress fails to act on this new committee's recommendations, then automatic spending cuts will be forced. The committee's recommended cuts are expected by NovemberRead more: August 2011 Current Events: U.S. News — Infoplease.com http://www.infoplease.com/news/2011/current-events/us_august.html#ixzz1igRxCChL" This is our money and the congress just makes a huge decision with consulting many people. This is our money their giving away. We citizens of the United States should have a right in making a decision of what will happen.

This is History

I feel like Obama is a hero. It is real history that everyone will remember will remember just like George Washington or Jackie Robinson Some of the first people to be in maijor things. Jackie Robinson was the first black man to be in the MLB or George Washingtion being the first president of the United States. Obama was the first African American President though everyone may have there own opinion about him the fact that this happened is HISTORY and no one can deny that.

HERO DIED IN 2011

I think kids that are take a fremd US history class in 100 years will be talking about Steve Jobs. The Student will be learning about Steve Jobs because he has changed the whole world with electronics. Steve invented the iPod, and that is how we can listen to music on such a small portable device. He is the creator of Apple, and he past away in 2011, and everyone was in such shock, he has brought the future to the modern day now. HE IS A HERO

In the Year 2112...

In one hundred years, the students will be learning something that is in fact a turning point in the Iraqi War and a brutal blow to Middle Eastern forces. The death of Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the September Eleventh attacks, killed by a Navy SEAL in a (not-so) secret compound located in Pakistan. Students will also learn about the improvement of technology used to locate the evil leader of the Al-Qaeda group, known to have attacked American soil on a tragic Tuesday late summer morning. Barack Obama's speech delivered after the death of Bin Laden was a reminder that the battle is far from over and that there was more to be done. In fact, the rest of the Iraqi War was history when Obama pulled all troops from Iraq at the end of 2011, therefore ending the eight-year struggle.

What Students in 100 years will be talking about in 2011

I think that in 100 years from now, students in a US History class will be talking about a major event that occurred in 2011. I believe that the major event that they will be learning about is the death of Osama Bin Laden. I think that the death of Osama Bin Laden changed America because he was the main reason for destroying many lives because of the September 11th tragedy. That is why I believe that in 100 years, students will be learning about how we killed Osama Bin Laden in the year 2011.

The 9.0 magnitude earthquake that hit japan in 2011

In 2011, an earthquake that measures 9.0 hit east of sendai, Japan striking 130kn (80 miles) which called for a tsunami that killed thousand of people. This event is considered the 2nd largest nuclear accident in the whole wide world's history. alot of people lost their lives, property, jobs, loved ones and shelter. it was terrifying and alot of people that had family in japan lived in fear wondering if their loved ones were alright. Japans governmment was in bankrapcy because they spent alot of money trying to fix the country and getting peoples lives back in line. this day will never be forgotten because alot of people were injured and others lost their lives. it will forever be remebred in history. R.I.P to those that died on March, 11th, 2011.

Soldiers

i think they kids in 2112 could be learning about the troops being pulled from aghanistan and ending the some of the violence in that country. i think that they could be learning that and some other things that happened.

I think that kids at Fremd will be learning about what happened on May 1st 2011. Barack Obama announced that Osama bin Laden the founder and leader of the militant group Al- Qaeda, was killed during an American military operation. I think this will be a big topic that kids will be learning about. All of the damage that this man has down to us, they will be learning about.

If i ran our English class for just one day i would do a lot of things. I would make all 50 min. be very fun. We would play games the whole period and we would be able to yell and scream and do pretty much what we wanted. We would have food in class. We would also not learn to much. We would be able to listen to music and do things we don't usually get to do. Also, everyone would be included. No one would be sitting there left out, we would all be out of our seats having fun. These are some of the many things we would do if i ran English for just one day.

Quarter 2, Week 8: 2011 is HISTORY!

Imagine that it is the year 2112, and students at Fremd are taking a US History class.  One hundred years from now, what event from 2011 do you think Fremd students should learn about?  Be sure to explain why the event that you chose is a significant historical event.

I would watch a movie and ask the kids how this movie would tie into English. And then we would have a discussion about it when the movie was done, If we are done with the movie then we could play an English game or something. Thats how I would teach the students.

If i was the teacher

If I was in charge of my english class for one day it would very fun. I would have pizza for everone and Jack Johnson music playing the whole time and we would get into disscusions about english related topics. I would make sure we are all laughing participating and having a good time. When the end of the period would come I would not assign any homework.

Quarter 2 - English Post

If you could run your high school English class for one day - what would it look like? Be specific and explain how you would use all 50 minutes of the period to do something education.
-Brad Evangelista

I wouldn't have done things diffrently, sure Abe. L was a total mess but as you can see that's what made him so strong, at least helped. He knew what he was doing and he knew what would please the people, some look up to him because of all he's done. He must have done something right if he ended up on a penny in todays currency. Changing history, rather small or big, would change the life we live in now. I say he did perfectly giving that speech and woulnd't have it any other way myself.

Lincoln

I wouldn't change anything that lincoln did because what he did was fine. He was the leader and he did his job well. I wouldn't do anything more. He had things under control. I might be more organized then him but thats all i would change.

If I was Lincoln during Antietam I really don't think i would do much different. He went though a really hard time. His family life was very difficult and everyone was planning on him being perfect. He was under alot of stress. Although he wasn't very successful, he tried his hardest and got a lot done that he could. I don't think i would change how Abe handled things.

If i were Lincoln at that time i would not have changed anything he did. I would back him up completely. I know he made so bad choices but we all do, especially when were depressed. Because of his son and his wife.

Lincoln

I think i wouldn't have really done anything different, because he gave orders pretty well even though he was going through alot with his son passing away and the whole situtation with his wife. If anything were to be changed, i don't think the north would have won the war then. Lincoln did the best he could and that is all that really matters, that showed that he cared and was dedicated to his country.

Lincoln

I think Lincoln should have been in a mess it was very important time in our history and even more important then because he was the president and a lot pressure was put on him to save the united states together and united. I would have done the same thing as the president in a crisis like this because as the president you have to make important decisions and put a lot of thought into eaach and every problem your faced. No one deserves to have that much weight and problems on them but everyone has challenges that have to face and Lincoln did his best to help his Country.

Abe Lincoln

If I were Lincoln I wouldn't have been functional and I probably would have done worse than he did. The loss of my family and all of the lost battles would have crippled me.

if i were lincoln i think i would not be able to give orders as well has he did on the day of the battle. i would have probably sent more military leaders to antietam to help defeat the south. i think i may have lost the war for the country because i dont have the knowledge that lincoln had.

Lincoln

If I was Lincoln during Antietam I don't think I would do anything differently. Maybe it wasn't completely a win but the public saw it as that and it was enough for him to sign the Emancepation Proclomation. Also he was dealing with alot so itss no wonder he wasn't feeling 100 %. Obviously he did the right thing though because the north ended up winning anyways.

I would not have done anything different. first of all because i would also be a mess because of the situation with his son and wife. second of all the north had lost a majority of fights. i would have done what lincoln did because at the end it all worked out.

Quarter 2, Week 6: Lincoln

On the day of Antietam, Lincoln was a mess.  What would you have done if you were in the same situation?  Would you have done things differently?

-Kayleigh Burnitz

I think that everyone should still read Huckleberry Finn. The reason is because it is a classic and is a great book to read. The only thing would probably to be to cut the n word out of the book because it does affend people. But other than that I think that everyone should read it.

Huckleberry Finn

I think that this book should be required to be read in school. If the students are learning about slaves then reading this book would make the students have a better understanding of what it was like during the world war and what it was like to be an African American. Yes many people do get offended with the n word used frequently in the book, but this is what makes the book so strong without the word the book looses its importance. I personally don't think that word should be used at all but its part of our history and we can't just ignore it. Huckleberry Finn should be read in school but maybe the n word should not be said because that could cause a problem.

huckleberry

I feel that Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should not be required reading for high school students. I don't think it should be required because there are a lot of people that think this book is very racist and there are also a lot of people that are offended by this book and also buy the language this is being used in this book. Some people say that they should rewrite this book because the "N" word is used so many times, but if they rewrote the book with out that word the book just wouldn't be as good because back then that is just how everyone talked no matter what.

Huckleberry Finn

I think we should read Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in school because although there are alot of offensive remarks in it, it's important to note that Mark Twain was not racist. I think people can learn from this book some how. Students would need to be mature about reading this book because of the offensive things that are in this book. Thats why students should read this in high school.

Huckleberry Finn is a great peice of art and a classic that will always be refered to as one of americas favorite books. I can understand however why people would think this book is not appropriate for school. But the fact that this book has bad words does not make it bad the words make it great. Twain uses satire making fun of the people who use the word and who are racist showing how foolish people were back then. This book should definatley be part of the regular cericulum.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Huckleberry Finn, a great piece of literature by Mark Twain, in my opinion, should be a requirement despite its content. The N-Word, should be taken as one example, because it is a very powerful word that was used back in the 19th century, and still is today. I might not agree with its use many times, but we have read books in the past that had used many derogatory remarks (Crucible, Catcher in the Rye, etc.). However, despite the criticism towards the book, it's an epic adventure of a boy and a slave trying to escape their torment, which I think could be handled properly, yet, would defeat the purpose of this story.

Otherwise, this should be in the English teaching curriculum.

Of course I think the book Huckleberry Finn should be to taught i public schools.
It makes soo much sense to me. I dont know why anyone would want to sencor their kid from this book. I believe that if you learn about the past and look at the mistakes that older people have made then they are less likely to happen in the future! It should be taught.

I feel like the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should be read in schools all over. The "N" word is used in this book to show how powerful it really is when people use it. I feel like its not okay for people too go around useing it, but in this book it brings up a good point. It shows that the word was used a lot back then, not so much in a terrible way but in a way refuring to somone. All though the word is not a nice word, it should be used in the book.

I think that it should be in schools because it a peice of writing that is well known throughout The U.S that should be read. Though it may contain some words that could hurt but it wouldn't be the book it is today without them. It creates the feeling that it's really happening and that he's really there telling you the story. I think that we are to a point that we can read these types of books without feeling much offense. After all we are in high school and should be old enough to handle what comes our way, even if it comes from a book that was written by an old man trying to write a good story. To me it's almost like 9/11, it wouldnt be so tragic if all those people had died. This book wouldn't be great if it didn't have the vocabulary it has.
