Political cartoons often use exaggeration and symbolism to make a point, and they can also serve as important visual sources for analysis. What is being criticized in this image? What does this source suggest about the issue, and what does the cartoonist want the audience to question or reconsider?

 In the picture, there is a lot going on. The big beautiful bill is crushing uncle Sam. At the same time, an ice agent is walking over ready to beat the already hurt Uncle Sam. Trump is just standing there screaming about how Iran is attacking Israel. This source suggests that Trump is doing nothing to help out Uncle Sam who is like the mascot of the US. The cartooner wants us to think about how trump isn't helping and about how the Big Beautiful Bill is hurting us right now. Today in class we read through writable. I also completed this blog post. Today I learned the transfer maximum of Venmo is $6,500.

Think about how you have searched for information in the past compared to what you practiced today. How is creating specific search phrases different from just “Googling” a topic? Explain how this strategy will improve the quality of your research.

Using Key words is a helpful strategy. This strategy will narrow down our speech. Using these key words helps google to find information using the same words and will bring exactly what we were looking for. Making different phrases can help us to see different resources about what we are looking for. This will improve the quality of my research by helping me not waste time on articles that have nothing to do with my research project. Today in class we did a common lit. I forgot to submit it so when I saw it, I submitted it. Today I learned to lock my car at night so no one can steal from it.

Your research question is designed to explore a complex issue. What makes this topic difficult to answer or solve? Identify at least two different perspectives or factors related to your topic and explain why understanding multiple viewpoints is important.

 My question is difficult to solve because it uses a "vs" which goes both sides. On one side cancel culture can be over used because someone can take something to seriously when they are words. On the other hand just because its our right to be given free speech doesn't mean we can say things that outrage the public causing distress. Its important to have multiple view points because this is a two sided question. If you only stay to one side then your research will be biased and not represent all truthful information. Today in class we emailed a report to ourselves. We also worked on filling out a step-by-step sheet. Today I learned about Galileo and how to use advanced search.

Reflect on your past experiences with research in school. What challenges have you faced when working independently or in a group, and how did you handle them? Explain how those experiences will influence the way you approach this current research project.

 In the past I have been more constructed on what to do. I was younger so I was less independent than I am now. Working together is better because people always find different information and when you combine this information you can come to agreements. This helps you to maximize your research efficiency. I feel this research will be more easy than hard because Rory and I work well together especially when it comes to digital work. Today in class we did a Kahoot. We also started on our research. Today I learned that North Atlanta has a lacrosse commit.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

 I would rent out a huge yacht that could hold all my friends. I would have it drive us to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Italy, and all over. I would have unlimited food and privet chefs. I would make sure everyone's friends. There would have to be jet skis as well because you can't have fun without jet skis. I would make it be boys and girls and I get to drive the boat some. Today In class I slept. Also didn't go to school today. Today I learned that Cadillac has entered formula 1.

McCandless set out to live independently in the wilderness, but his death reveals the harsh reality of nature and survival. In your blog post, analyze how his desire for independence contributed to his death. Then, connect this idea to your own life by explaining a time when you wanted complete independence or control over a situation. Did things go as planned, or did you face unexpected challenges?

Him wanting complete independence meant that he would never accept help. If he faced something difficult that he didn't know how to do then it would be a road block. His independence also led him to make stupid decisions. He believed he could live alone and not even tell anyone where he was. This means that if something happened to him, there would be no way to know. An example for me is trying to be independent and getting lost when we are on vacation. I thought I knew my way around. When I found a map I was on the complete wrong side of New York. Today in class we skimmed through the book. We also finished the movie. I learned the Artemis II mission is today.

How does watching the film version of Into the Wild change or deepen your understanding of Chris McCandless compared to reading the book? In your response, explain one key difference in how his character or experiences are presented, and connect this to a time when seeing something visually changed your understanding of a situation.

I am a visual learner guy and seeing this movie just made things easier to understand. When I read I can use my imagination but it always wanders. Ill start imagining things to the extreme. Often after reading a book, when I watch the movie, it is terrible for me. I imagine the characters completely different. One example is Percy Jackson. I had imagined Annabeth to be this blond girl resembling someone in my life. The movie version was nothing like I had imagined. Today In class we watched the movie. We also did some questions. Today I learned about fiber optic cables.
