What I learned this week

I'm suppose to write a blog on what I learned this week during school, so I am going to tell everyone what I learned this week! In reading class we are watching Robin Hood so I only really learned about that movie and now my class has to write 5 pages on that movie along with the other movies we watched, the other two movies we watched were King Arthur. In music appreciation we learned about the romantic era and how it is different from the classical era. Romantic era music has feelings and emotions while classical era music is predictable. In band we learned how to read in 6/8 time. In applied chemistry we learned how to balance equations I do not like balancing equations I think it is very difficult. In sociology we took a test and I learned that I should of studied harder. In business math I learned about insurance and how to buy a car. That is what I learned during this week of school.

Tuesdays With Morrie

In our sociology class we watched "Tuesdays with Morrie". This movie has alot of great examples of our American culture, such as love, work, and death. These are the things that stuck out most in the movie. Are we Americans afraid to love one another? I don't think we are afraid to love one another we are just afraid of rejection and getting our feelings hurt. So the more we think that we will get rejected we push away people that might love you but you can not return it because we are afraid of getting hurt. People could overcome this by just loving one another with no fear of getting hurt. If they don't love you back time heals everything. Romantic love is a feeling that is you just want someone to be with and don't really plan on it lasting, while real love is the feeling that you care about that person and want to be with that person for a long time. In the movie Mitch is a very hardworking person, but he takes it so seriously to succed he puts important things aside to have sucess. Some Americans are like that they work so hard to achieve that they put aside there family and don't even realize it at the time. Sometime we just have to take a step back and realize that there are more important things rather than working your life away. Are Americans afraid of death? It really depends on the person. Some are very open to the subject while others are not. So is death a taboo topic to some people it might be. They might not want to talk about it because they are afraid of the fact that they might die at any minute. They may also be afraid because they feel that if they died at any time that they may not have lived there life to the fullest.
