Mr. Jones - Original Writing

Change is inevitable, yet we fight it just the same. Change is going to happen, in fact, it happens every day, maybe it is too small to see, or perhaps we would rather not see it. Nikos Kazantzakis once said, “Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality”. To me this symbolises the different perspectives people can have. This is shown in Craig Silvey’s, “Jasper Jones” novel which explores the concept of change and the understanding of how our search for who we are is clouded by our perceptions and attitudes. The basic human need to establish our own individual path in the world can arise conflict between adolescents and authorities who restrict them; In July 2014 the UN’s, ‘A world at school’ bought together

Jones made me think about how I found out I liked design. I thought about how I want to go into graphic design in college and make a career out of it, I thought about it more and more, and how I ended up deciding that. I knew I had not been stressing out about my future like I had been and I tried to do something new and when I found out I was good at design I stuck with it. He made me realize that certain things can help me find a way to know what I’m going to do with my life. Ideas would be expressed in time, like the idea of trying design for me, and one idea will stick with

Mr. Jones starts to spiral into a depression after his manic episode and after being hospitalized for a second time. During his depression, his concentration decreases and he appears listless and sullen. He also wanders around not enjoying anything that usually appeals to him. After this depression period, his mood starts to escalate again. His speech speeds up, and he shows a sense of humor.

The effect of calling the body Mr. Jones partly makes the story more personal, but it also adds a witty element to the story. This is because once a corpse has a name, it makes it easier to identify with the

Jones. Throughout my elementary school years, I became particularly involved in the Accelerated Reader program offered at my school where students were able to earn points by reading books. Not to mention, students that had high amounts of points were eligible to earn prizes, which of course caught my attention. This program gave me a greater appreciation for literacy, motivated me to read constantly, and quite frankly, brought out my competitive side. In the same way, another event that molded my literacy experience, was when the Junie B. Jones book series was placed into my hands because it quickly became my favorite childhood series. As I read the series, I constantly found myself spontaneously laughing out loud as I read because of the hilarity of the carefree character, Junie B. Jones. This series marked an enormous milestone in my literacy adventure because it was not only my favorite childhood series, but it was actually the first series I ever read and led to me discovering numerous other series that I still revel in today. Overall, these events have been key to forming the entirety of my literacy

Jones begins in chapter one by establishing the Divinity of the Holy Spirit, something she

Jones`s childhood was nothing to brag about, his father left the family soon after he was born, and Jones was raised by his maternal grandparents. The move to

The theory also goes that the United states Government had no involvement and that the Reason he moved to Guyana was because he was fearful of the Rising Nuclear threat. Not to mention that the main Lure of being a Religious leader at the time was the money. In fact after Jones death he left Millions of dollars and many argue if he had taken advantage of his Group (The Peoples Temple). To add to the theory, Jones mostly integrated African Americans into his Congregation (Mass Suicide at Jonestown 2). Which at the time Many Blacks did not have a Church to take them in so Jones would have had some easy followers to add to his Group which meant more money.

remained in Hallock for the next 18 years, leaving only for World War I. Jones enjoyed his life in Hallock, and became quite involved in the community, participating in civic activities and pursuing a passion for racecar driving. Jones also pursued correspondence study of electrical engineering. He remarked once in the Saturday Evening Post that Hallock was a place "where a man … [was] judged more on his character and ability than on the color of

It was after several moves starting in the Midwest and ending in the Westcoast that Jones decided that the Peoples Temple needed to emigrate from San Francisco to Guyana in order to escape what he believed to be creeping fascism in the United States. Jones was a Marxist after all so there was always that need to rebel against America and its capitalistic ideas (Russell 39). And the communist utopia that Jones and the Peoples Temple had created (Jonestown) began to flourish. It had seemed that the utopia Jones had always envisioned was now reality. The members of the Peoples Temple began to feel at home because it was a place where anyone no matter what race, gender, or even age could live in perfect harmony with one another. In fact during its first phase of existence it could actually be considered a proper socialist community from the point of view of a true political scientist (Latson). And it was not until the late 1970s that Jim Jones and Jonestown began to crumble which could only be explained by Jones’ unusual metamorphosis. Nobody really knows for sure what happened to him when he and the Peoples Temple had left the United States to build their community in Guyana, but it would be something that would end up destroying not only himself but everything he and the Peoples Temple had created.

John admired Benjamin Franklin and wanted to be his friend. In the late 1700's John Paul Jones and Benjamin Franklin developed a close friendship. In 1778 they went to the Masonic Lodge together. They sailed on the Ranger and raided Jones' birthplace together, taking 200 prisoners for

Dr. Sacks also describes Dr.P’s lack of emotions and ability to recognize emotions throughout the text. When Dr. Sacks turned on the television, Dr. P failed to recognize a famous actress and Dr. Sacks writes, “what was more striking was that he failed to identify the expressions on her face or her partner’s.” (Sacks, 12). This detailed description of what Dr. P is experiencing helps the reader understand his position. (Change)

In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Professor Indiana Jones is recruited by the United States government after they intercept Nazi radio transmissions referencing Jones' mentor, Dr. Abner Ravenwood. It is at this time that it is revealed that Dr. Ravenwood was a renowned Ark of the Covenant scholar and that he spent his entire life attempting to find this mythological treasure. Despite Jones' insistence that he agrees to find the treasure before the Nazis get to it simply because of its historic value and states that he does not believe in the supernatural. By the end of the film, Jones' initial beliefs are completely transformed as he witnesses, first-hand, the power of the Ark of the Covenant; after witnessing what the Ark does to the Nazis that wish to use it for their own evil

The first public challenge to Jones’ leadership of the Temple came in 1972 from the media, which then increased his paranoia that his followers would turn against him. Jones went to greater lengths after being challenged by the media to declare his control by constantly testing his followers. He would organize “white nights”, which required his followers to drink a red liquid which may have contained poison, then Jones would see how many of his followers wouldn’t hesitate to drink the red liquid. Jones was still paranoid and made the decision to move Peoples Temple to Guyana and start a community called Jonestown.

Without the knowledge or ability to control this gift, this poor guy was a doorknob. Every otherworldy spirit got a turn with him until Mr. Jones took over and drowned out the voices of the demons, as well as light angel voices and that of the divine.
