Link for my visual essay.
In these speeches the people had different speaking styles. The first one wasn’t really exciting because he was flat he didn’t pause or changed the tone of his voice. The second one was very interesting but he was talking too fast probably because it was preventing him to cry. The third one I loved because he paused so it made us think about it, he wasn’t too fast and he wasn’t too slow which made it interesting and good at the same time. Finally the fourth speech was very good I loved how he spoke, his tone was loud and passionate. I really liked Charlie Chaplin's speech because he was passionate and he was positive about everything that he said, the thing that moved me was the music and the images.
George and Lennie
Lennie would not survive without George: Taking care of yourself is a really difficult job. If you are someone named Lennie it is an even more difficult job. Lennie is an irresponsible child. He always makes the wrong decisions and needs someone to take care of him. In Weed, Lennie saw a girl wearing a beautiful dress. He started to touch the dress, then grab it. The little girl thought that Lennie was rapping her so she started to yell. Because of that he got kicked out from Weed. Good thing that George came with him because he wouldn’t survive as well without him. George feeds him and gives him good advice. Lennie can’t even get wood by himself without making a stupid mistake. In every page of the book it shows that he can’t survive without George.  Candy is an really old man that has a really old dog. George is starting to be friends with him. George and Candy are quite similar. Candy is really attached to his dog even if he is old and useless and George keeps hanging out with Lennie even if he really annoys him. Carlson really doesn't like Candy's dog, he just want to kill him I think since he doesn't have any friends he thinks that his dog is his friend.
In the song, it says, "Everyone deserves a chance to walk with everyone else." We can likely agree that this is true; however, is it possible? Can everyone actually "walk with everyone else"? What sacrifices do people have to make to "walk with everyone else?" Bonus: Can you tie this to the Necklace as well? In the song the Hero it says “your masquerade I don’t wanna be a part of your parade everyone deserves a chance to walk with everyone else.” I think it means that in the world nobody is the center of the universe. Each person should treat everybody the same way. For everyone to do that they just need to change, and make an effort.  On your blog, write a response to the following prompt: How do you react to the story? How do you feel about the character of Mathilde? Do you feel like you can understand why she did what she did or are you disgusted by her? Explain your reasoning using specific examples from the story. When reading the story, I thought that it was a very good example of someone that is greedy. I feel like Mathilde was very confident at the beginning then started to break down. I don’t really understand why she did what she did because if it would be me at her place I would of just said the truth instead of suffering for ten years. She wanted more things even if she already had everything. For example she asked her friend for her most beautiful dress even if she has one, and one of her most beautiful jewelry.  | AuthorWrite something about yourself.
