Album Review

Nyana mixed by DJ Tiesto

I think that the first song (Outdoor) has a instrumental sound, and slowly builds into kind of impressive throughout the song. I think that the song kind of has a really good effect when you listen it on nice headphones. I also think that Tiesto mixing of techno is really interesting and seems alive. I think that he did top quality trance music from his mixes.

Required Listening

Tutti Frutti – Little Richard

I think that the song Tutti Frutti that Little Richard sang had a lot of power in it. He puts a lot of power and it sounds like he likes singing it. He doesn’t seem like he is doing it for money or something that other people like. He is singing it because, he wants to.

Tutti Frutti – Pat Boone

I think that the song Tutti Frutti that was sang by Pat Boone, he kind of killed the song because, he just singing it in a kind of monotone and doesn’t even have half of the passion or power as Little Richard he just saying the words. He isn’t even close to singing the words.

Sly and the Family Stone – I want to take you higher

I think that the song I want to take you higher is kind of in the middle of the two that I wrote on before. I think that “I want to take you higher” is better then Tutti Frutti Pat Boone did because, he had no passion in the song at all. But, is not as good as Tutti Frutti that Little Richard did because, that song is the kind that no matter how many times you listen to it, it still has that much power in it.

Blog Post #2

Section A
I think that this book is very interesting because, of how the author starts the book off. It starts off with a guy jumping off the building of a hospital. There is also another thing that hasn’t changed much is that the protagonist hasn’t matured much. He has always been there and has changed but not matured. But, it is very interesting that the author wants the protagonist to keep searching for the gold that he wants to find. Because, he wants to get away from his father holding on to him, he won’t let him go unless he has the money to do something else on his own.
I think that the book is very interesting because, in the beginning of the book. I didn’t really like how it was in the beginning but after chapter 3 when the protagonist grows up and changes. It starts getting really interesting because, you never know what will happen next and it makes you want to read more and more every time.
3)
Murders
How the protagonist has changed
How black people are treated different in the town
How they describe the people in the different town looks
Section B
Why is the title named that way?
Is the protagonist going to changed after finding gold?
Is the author going to have more and more information in the book about that time?
What is your interpretation of the protagonist till now
What is your interpretation about the other characters in the book?
Why do you think that the author would like to start the book with that part with the man trying to fly?
Section C – Quotation Analysis1. What quote struck you as memorable or particularly interesting? Why? What point was the author making? What significance does it have to the meaning of the book? OR...2. What quote seems particularly relevant to one of the themes you identified above? What does it add to the theme overall? How does that theme enhance the meaning of the book overall?
I think that there are many good quotes from the book, that are really good. There are many where the protagonist is listening to Guitar talk about the seven days. And what they do.

1. Predicting
I predict …
In the next part …
I think this is …

I predict that Milkman (Macon Jr.) will find gold sometime in the near chapters and once he finds gold he will forget some of the people that he usually cares about really much. Because, when Guitar brought up the fact that Pilate had a lot of gold in her house, and was very easy to get it then he started to get really interested about the money part of it.

Water Quality Testing

Today was a very interesting day, we went to a place where the water run off is. There we did many tests. We did test on the turbidity of the water, which is how clear the water it was so murky that we couldn't even see the Secchi disk. Then we did pH levels to see the acidity of the water, and it was around 8 -9 so that is just a little bit over the regular water acidity. Then we tested the DO is the oxygen that is in the water and that was about 7. The we also did a test on the temperature of water that was taken it was about 24 C.

Inteview finallized

Well today we finalized our interview with the Environmental Scientist & Program Director. We had a pretty good interview and got some useful information that we could use in our video. It was good because, we have a lot of problems with finding someone to interview. Then we got her e-mail from our teacher, friend boss, so that was really well and she answered our questions nicely. She also gave us some information that was very useful that could be added to our script.
