If I were trapped on an island with a bunch of boys from LOTF, what would I do? 10/31/17

I would begin by mercilessly slaughtering them all if they did not do immediately as I asked, I would then establish a dictatorship, so thing may get done, in a fashion I deem fit. I would make progress in survival, and people would be killed if they stepped out of line.  Everybody would align with me, or I would kill them all. It would essentially be a nice island trip for me.

What is The Science Behind Fear? Article of The Week 10/30/17

This article is really well written.  Out of the two prompts given on the article, i'm going to have to write about the first one.  The first prompt reads "Respond to at least one quotation from this article by making a connection".  My relation would be from the quote "Researchers placed the subjects on a platform that had plexiglass just beyond it's edge to it to see how many of the subjects would actually step over the "visual cliff"."  I relate to this because I really want to walk off a cliff. The CNN writers really outdid themselves.  Stay yellow minion lovers. -Logan

Bio Update 10/26/17

My fish are doing quite alright, however, I regret to inform the blog, one fish has died. oh no. However, this fish was suicidal. The fish managed to kill himself in the oddest way. This fish swam his way into the water pump. The fish managed to get himself caught under the water pump long enough to get himself killed. This fish was looking to die. However. Other than the one incident, our tank is running better than ever. We have managed to fix our plant watering system, and have further plans to fix it even more. Things are honestly looking up.

Writing Prompt 10/25/17

If I had to pick a President, it would be Mao, so that he could accidentally starve half the population. I feel that with less people available, we would be much happier. Also if we could fix every election so that only Mao could win, that would be great.I feel that with Mao's wonderful programs, a communist state would be wonderful. Greatest China forever. Logan.

Book Response 10/24/17

The Lord of the Flies book is actually quite boring.I can't follow this book, and i'm not quite sure what is happening at any given moment. The words used in this book are extremely old english, and I find myself getting lost. I could not think of a reason for this man to earn a nobel prize in literature. I have no idea what this book even represents on a base level. I believe this book represents what a lack of leadership would get you, though i'm not sure. I'd assume this book won a nobel prize because of the 'shock' value, but that is all I've got.

Article of The Week. 10/23/17

The article in question is 'Personal Health; A  Bully's Furture, From Hard Life to Hard Time'. Bullying is a serious issue at CSS, and without proper care, it will go on without a hitch. I see many connections towards this issue, and the Lord of The Flies novel. Many characters in the LOTF book pick on a larger character, mostly by calling, and addressing him, as a name the bullies at his school once called him, 'Piggy'. Many of the other kids also refuse to listen to him, because of his size. I believe we are like this because of the human condition. Many humans have ways to cope with their issues, but some do not. Those that do not, often vent their problems onto other children, instead of counselors, or teachers. We need to crack down on bad parents, and send their children into better homes. Bullying is truly awful. As the California University Researchers reported, "Victims who bully others also best fit the profiles of seriously violent offenders."

Biology Update 10/19/17

My fish are doing pretty well. It seems we are still yet to lose a single fish, and that our fish's lives are going as planned. We have not experienced many problems with our tank, and things are mostly going extremely well. I think we are yet to run into an actual hurdle, the only problem I can think about is that we may have overwatered some plants..

What makes a fictional creature scary? 10/18/17

Image
In stories, a malformed creature is often seen as scary, and this creature often does horrible horrible things. But, in some stories, the creature is scary. For some creatures, all it takes is their presence.  The hand slinging slasher is a fictional character often characterized as horrifying. His shear shadow is enough to scare the main protagonists seen in the Sponge-Bob television series. He appears to be an ex fry-cook of a grave-yard shift's past.  He features a Burger Flipper, instead of a traditional hand, red glowing eyes, and a hunched back. This character was definitely not produced for the faint of heart. I would certainly say the Hand Slinging Slasher is a staple of the horror series.

5 New Brain Disorders that Were Born Out of the Digital Age 10/16/17

This article lists the very real Brain Disorders that were born out of the digital age. These Disorders include Nomophobia, Technoference, The Phantom Ring, Cyberchondria, and, Truman Show Delusion.  All of these phobias are made up by fake doctors. Why would you call a tech related phobia: Cyberchondria, or Tenchnoference, that's simply mean. If I call my phobia of hating short words 'Le', then there is probably a problem with communication with humans. I don't understand why fake doctors see a need to call everything a phobia, but I mean, I don't make 200,000 dollars a year sitting around a table coming up with stupid names, so good on them. I might have Dilsephobia because I came up with the name, the phobia describes the phenomenon of once punching a wall, discovering your fist hurts. It truly is an epidemic.

7 Learning Outcomes, Biology

I feel as if: 1. I'm always in class 2. I always arrive in class, With my equipment. 3.  I am always here, on time. 4. I've only eaten a sandwich once in your class. 5. I attempt to do when homework when I can. 6. I try to be respectful when I can. 7. I use all assigned materials respectfully, and fruitfully. This is why I feel I've met 7/7

Could Humans Actually Live on Mars

I sure am confused. Why do we believe we need to colonize a civilization on a red lifeless rock? Scientists seem to agree on one point for this. "It's an insurance mechanism". Scientists believe that we should expose generations of people to awful conditions, where they must fight to survive, only for the chance that they may establish some sort of outpost. Entire bloodlines would be lost, only because we wanted to try to survive on Mars. All i'm saying is, think about the possibility of not exploring Mars.

Writing Prompt 10/11/17

What are the qualities that make someone a survivor? A survivor needs to be strong, willful, paranoid, and, a literal architect. If you want to establish a permanent society, you need to be paranoid of everything. The smallest thing could mess up your entire operation, and you can't take that risk. A survivor needs to be strong. If a survivor isn't strong, they may find themselves at a life or death situation, and fail, simply because they are not physically strong enough. A survivor needs to have willpower, and alot of it. If a survivor mentally is on the brink of snapping, they need to not. Just don't. A survivor needs to be a literal architect. Without a major in Architecture, how will you establish a resort in the forest, for maximum tourist attraction? The answer: you won't. Sorry.

Biology Fish

My fish are really cool and definitely still alive.  My fish's chemicals are safe, they are all well fed, and well sheltered. We have had no issues.

10/4/17 If our class' plane crashed on an island, how would you survive?

 I would begin by gathering the dead passengers, and harvesting their bones. Then, I would build clothing, and weaponry out of their bones. My hat would be the most menacing. I would kill a lion, and wear his skull. I would then build a fortress. I would then begin to inspire, and recruit like, 10,000 crabs. I would then begin to build a tiny communist society out of crabs. Once the crabs were praising me as a god/leader, I would begin to make an army of crabs. I would begin to raid fellow islanders with my crab military. My crab military would conquer and create outposts, we would establish a permanent residence on the island. Bone coins would be currency, and all the crabs would have small crab homes. Once the entire island is mine, I would begin to tax the crabs, and eventually, the taxation rates would get so high, that some crabs would begin to question the ethics of communism, and establish capitalism. Eventually crab sky-scrapers would pop up until Chelsea shows up with her ...
