BQ thoughts 🤔

Back to business my question was "Why do people some people think God does not exist". I have thought about it sometimes just in my regular life. From there I don't really do much about my big questions

My Online Me

When I searched up myself I already knew many people were going to pop out. I'm guessing that more than 2 million have Maria as a name. I'm not sure about my last name though which is Magaña. When I searched up the name that I usually use is a soccer player. Which is not me because I don't like soccer. DON'T GET OFFENDED IF YOU LIKE SOCCER OK? Ok. I never knew there was a soccer player named Maria Magaña. That's something I learned today which is cool in my opinion. Now when I searched my full name which is Maria Fernanda Magana Flores there waz random people. What I mean is that there is no famous people at all. I thought I was going to be a character from a novel or something like that, but I'm not. Oh well that's cool I guess. I never thought I would search myself up, but that was a fun experience.

Brave New World Ch.8 Notes

Linda's son is telling his life to Benard. Jhon has a different perspective about life since he has different genetics and was mostly raised in the reservation. He also wanted to marry this girl that he was in loved with, but got denied. He also had to witness his mothers pain in Utopia when two Indian men went to her bed. The mother had to violate them since they did not follow the rules. He preferred to go to the Indian reservation since they have more knowledge about life not like Utopia. Benard can totally relate because he is different from the others as well. Benard wants to also take Linda and Jhon to London not just to take them out of the Indian reservation, but to embarrass the director. What I learned from the book is that the director is the father of Jhon.

GOOD MORNING 🌄 😁

I learned so much in class even though it was a short period. The blue letters from Dr. Preston's blog meant something. It was " You can't win if you dont play". Which this can mean if you don't try or do it you won't get your results or your goal. 3 habits that I will start doing is setting my clothes one day before so that it can be easy in the morning and just not waist time. Two is since I am tired of my alarm being to boring just waking me up with some "BEEP" noises I can start my day jamming. Third thing is that Dr. Preston got me thinking that I should set my Alan further from my bed so that I can try the feeling of just not going back to bed and being lazy. That's just me, What about you?

Racist

What we were talking in class today is interesting because Mario and Dr. Preston was sharing their ideas or emails and it made me think. How come in this book the author is a racist. He talks about the negros. At one of the chapters they talk about them. I'm still sort of confused on that topic, but I sort of understand.

Reading Me

Imma be honest I do not really read much. I only read when I find something intresting such as mystery books. I also read to my little sisters books before they go to sleep. Sometimes some books are just not for me. Some books can be intresting than other books.

In this chapter Lenina and Benard are together. Lenina thinks Benard is weird because he is odd. She says this because Benard wants to be away from the crowd with no noise with her even though they are not making love. He is more of wanting to be free and not enslaved. Henry Foster is a guy that thinks Lenina is a piece of meat. Benard does not like that, but Lenina likes to be looked that way. Benard also tells Lenina all the odd desires that he has. He wants to feel strong and passionate. Benard wants to be an adult to wait for pleasure than right now as an infant. Lenina also wants to go with Benard to America to go for a savage reservation. A savage reservation is an opposite life of the Brave New World. Benard got consequences from the director since he does not live his life as others. That's what I got from ch. 6 in the reading.
