IDEA 2004

upon us, filling our heads with thoughts and ideas that spawn from the very environment we live in. Although some may argue that our society cannot remain cohesive without the idea of intellectual property, it should be acceptable to use others’ works without having to worry about plagiarism laws. This is because, in reality, there really is no such thing as “original” work, and there is an evident difference between replication and reproduction. The idea of “ownership” over something hinders others’

photosynthesis. They would be released into the atmosphere, consumed by flora, and transformed into glucose and carbon dioxide. However, it was not until the beginning of high school that I truly started to be enamored at the thought of communicating my ideas. I began to see everything in a different light. What I considered in the beginning to be plant food gradually became the object which I relentlessly and tirelessly pursued. Surprisingly, the medium through which I pursued it was writing. I remember

that the people who commit extremely appalling acts as adults were raised to commit these ghastly crimes, while others believe that everyone is born with an evil already inside of them. In William Golding’s psychological fiction Lord of the Flies, the idea of being born innately evil is recurrently alluded to. The novel is about a group of young British boys who crash land on a remote island. They are left with no laws to tell them what they can or cannot do, and are extremely frightened of a so called

and surround the U.S army. So after this Henry started to think that we can set a trap on them. He finally came up with the idea and told his army. The idea was that we will tell one of the spies that they spotted us in a certain area and we will hope and take their position but then we won't be there and in a minute we would have to attack them from behind. It was a good idea but they had to time it perfectly so the rebellions don't get time to think and realize what was happening. They had week to

of Antigone and Ismene. This time was of one under the tyrannical rule of Creon who came into position after the hero Oedipus’ death, Antigone and Ismene’s father. While this time period is far from that what modern audiences would recognize, the ideas and themes are still relatable to contemporary times. The aspect of the plot that a modern audience may have difficulty in understanding would be the suicides that happen as a result of Creon’s tyranny and how that would have been seen as revered where

great experience. As we are about to go off to college, this really displayed to us that we have voices to speak up about things we want to change in the community around us. To have this opportunity and be hands on with a problem and research our idea of a perfect solution, was pretty cool. At the beginning of this process, it was hard to find a problem that was both strong and I was passionate about. When Mrs. Moone suggested an outdoor classroom, it was a perfect solution, but was hard to find

What makes an environment inviting for posting on a bulletin board? The most inviting factor about the environment of the first bulletin group was the purpose of the room. The printing room is a place where most students stay for a long time and work with computers, print their assignments and documents and even socialize with each other. The nature of this staying makes it more probable that the ads and notices being seen over time. The high traffic of the room and long stays exposes the boards

others to work towards a goal that you all want to achieve. Sometimes, however, this is easier said than done. People struggle with these two concepts all the time and the question is why? The idea of working with others can be frightening. The fear of rejection and people not understanding you or your ideas can be a problem for people. As far as sharing a common purpose, I think people tend to overthink what it is to have a common purpose. They try to compare themselves to others and as soon as someone

good and bad terms can be symbolically expressed in many ways. For example, Mama is a hard working women that has seen a lot of hardship in her life that truly reflects on what she knows and how she uses that knowledge to pass on to her children. This idea can be expressed from the book stating that Maggie knows how to quilt, which was taught to her by Mama and her parents or Maggie’s grandparents. Mama also shows how hardship can lead to good things because they are grateful for the nice things they

we ate our thanksgiving dinner and talked and everything like that. I then had an idea that I had been wanting to do for a while but I didn’t want to say it because I knew nobody would want to do it except me. But then I was getting scared about the idea I had myself; the idea I had was to go in a hot air balloon. I don’t really know why but I suddenly had the courage to just tell them that I thought it was a good idea to go in a hot air balloon. I was expecting everyone to basically laugh at me and
