•" his wife and his mistress until an hour ago secure and inviolate, were slipping precipitately from his control"
- Mrs. Wilson is moving away and Tom is  worried Daisy will leave as well
• row = fight
• " I can't speak about what happened five years ago .. But all the rest of that's a God Damned lie. Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me." ~ Tom
• " I never loved him"
- Daisy referring to Tom
- she said this to satisfy Gatsby
• " I did love him once but I loved you too.", Daisy
   " you loved me too ", Gatsby

The digital divide

Digital divide : Def. gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not I do have access to a digital device and wifi. Using technology nowadays is very help like if you didn't understand what you teacher thought you you can search it up. And it's very easy to access since we have our own phones. Our data is neither private nor protected. On online if people research my name I won't have any bad things. All you'll see is baby pics, school , achievement etc. but referring to Snapchat that's a whole different story. Don't get it wrong I don't do illegal stuff or anything else. But you'll probably find me doing weird stuff like dumb funny stuff. Like any normal teen does like goofing around.

Emerson's Child

           These past few days we discussed Emerson's essay, I think I've got some ideas on how Emerson thinks, yet again I'm not him and these are my opinions.

essay - speech

Yet, we underestimate ourselves and we let our opportunities for our future fly away, we need takes some risks, that will actually help us and not hurt us in our upcoming future. As a junior in high school I'm starting to hear from adults like teachers, consular and from my own parents that I'm reaching my "adulthood" and I need to start to making wise decisions in life because whatever I do now, is going to affect my future. Just like in the story, A Sound of Thunder ,  Eckels the protagonist is warned by a safari leader named Travis that whatever he does in the past will eventually effect his future and it will be followed by consequences. Just like us if we go on the wrong path in our journey we will hit a dead end. We need to trust ourselves just like how Emer
