MSS PART 2

1. What is the difference between a sign and a symbol?

 The difference between a sign and a symbol is that the sign is a form of communication made on purpose with a meaning while the symbol represents something or is an indication / warning of something .. 

2. What are the three elements of the symbolic relationship (the "blue triangle of meaning")?

The three elements of the symbolic relationship are the symbol, referent, and perception and thought of the interpreter.

3. Is a word a sign or a symbol? Why?

A word is a symbol as it is given a meaning behind it. other wise we would barely know what was going on.

 4. Describe one natural sign that you've seen in the world. 

A sign that I've seen in the world would be the orange sky and ash rain as it showed indications of a fire that has existed or still did.

5. Describe one symbol you've seen in the world. What (referent) did it stand for? How did you know what it meant? .

A symbol I've seen in the world is the pink ribbon that stands for breast cancer. I knew this from long ago as my mom told be about it.

 October 29  I balance my need for individuality and to fit in by finding people who would accept me for me. To others who may come across our friend group we may seem weird, strange, or dumb. We all have our quirks and may get out of control form time to time when we have sudden mood changes or may just act awkward and shy. We may have different interest and it may be a bit weird but instead of suppressing ourselves around each other we embrace ourselves. I get to be myself around my friends and can be as weird and crazy as in want around them. I get to feel as myself around them. November 3  Hysterical strength distracts a person and gives them a huge energy boost due to there extreme stress they are under. As for our situation in school and achieving our academic goals, especially this past week when we where given the chance to do make up work. Since we where given this week most of us went into hightail/procrastination mode where one is highly productive and sacrifices there menta

August, 20     Question : Why is it that so many young people want to be older, and so many older people want to be young? How do you feel about your age?      Younger people want to be older to be seen as more mature and responsible. Some may want to be older in order to work and earn their own money, be able to live in on their own, or any other adult like subject that seems fun and exciting in their eyes.

I don't want to be younger as I would get less freedom in my life and don't want to be as old as to miss out on the teenage years of my

LES MIS BK 2 CH 6

 We got more back story on our main character Jean Valjean and a reason as to why he was put in jail. After going over this chapter it makes me feel pain for Jean Valjean and what he had to got through in his life. He basically lost his entire family. The reason why he was put in jail was super unfair to me as he was basically put between a rock and a hard place. Its a person with good intentions forced to do a bad thing. Jean Valjean was either forced to steal food like the bread he stole to feed his family or watch them slowly starve to death. This just shows how unfair the world can be to some people and how they could still be labeled bad or criminal even though they where doing it to save someone or themselves.
