In 1881 A nursery ryhme called Ring Around The Rosie was published in Kate Greenway's Mother Goose. 33 years later Archduke Ferdinand was assasinated. Ring around the rosie has a very erie and mysterious relation to his death. This is the entire nursery rhyme: "Ring around the rosie, pocketful of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down.".The term ring around the rosie represnts a ring of people gathering around a rose on a grave. Pocketfuls of posies were layed on his grave for posies are usually put on graves.Since Archduke Ferdinand's assasination was arguably one of the main causes of World War I, the ashes represent ashes from bombs and smoke from fallen airplanes. And as for the phrase "we all fall down" that shows not only the death of soilders but the exhaustion of the citizens,countries, and governments.

Self Reflection:Reconstruction Debate
Q:How did I feel during planning this presentation? Why did I feel this way?
A:I felt very nervous because I was afraid of what my team members might think of my presentation.

A:I wish I did not have technical difficulties with my keynote.

DLC Stuff :P :D
Yay! DLC has been great so far but I can’t believe it’s already half way through the year though awww . Ever since I have been in the DLC I feel I have changed a lot. I really think I have learned to expect more of my self and of others. I also feel I have learned to control my emotions a lot better, still need a little work on that though ha ha. Probably the project I’m most proud is my Stephen Crane project. I really like this one because I had ten people come up to me and say how cool it was I worked really hard on it and I did it by myself. This project was also very fun and was my favorite project because I got use my creativity and make it into something unlike I have ever made before. Because of that project I learned to always try to make my work stand out in the crowd, both from a students view and from a teachers view.
The thing I found most challenging though is working with people I usually don’t like or working with people that won’t listen to what I have to say most of the time because if I work with people I don’t like I usually won’t be willing to help them if they need it or I won’t be able to swallow my pride and ask that person for help, or if a person isn’t really willing to listen to me and kinda just bosses me around instead of listening to my ideas I tend to have to depend on the leader a lot or have the leader “spoon-feed” me during a project.
I think my favorite moment in class was when we were doing our Lincoln Douglas debate that a girl named Riley was completely dominating the other side and right when the other team thought their nightmare was over riley said….”AND NOW FOR THE REBUTALS!” and the whole class including me burst into laughter. Funniest moment ever in the DLC.
I hope that in second semester that I can meet new people and find out what people are the best for me to work with ,who are the people that I don’t like to work with ,and who are the people that won’t work at all. Well there is my little montage of the DLC thanks for reading.
