Dialogue

     Mr. Frank looked at his desk in confusion. He knew something was wrong with it, but he could put his finger on it. "Hey Ted."
     "Yes Mr. Frank," Ted replied.
     "Something about my desk looks different now. Do you think it looks different?" 
     "Nothing jumps out at me when I look at it, Sir." Ted stared at he desk for a few seconds. "Maybe it would help if I asked a few questions about how you desk is now." 
     Mr. Frank kept staring at his desk. "I'm not sure if it's going to work, but it's worth a shot." replied Mr. Frank.
     Ted looked around Mr. Frank's desk. "Alright, Are your pens in the right place?" inquired Ted.
     Mr. Frank stared at his black pen holder. It was on the back right corner of his desk. "No, that has always been there." For Mr. Frank, it was the best place for it. He was right-handed, so he could easily get a pen if he needed, but it wasn't in his way.
     Ted scoured his desk for something that looked out of place. Ted saw the coaster that Mr. Frank always put his drinks on. "Is you coaster in the right place, Sir?" asked Ted.
     "No, it's always been there." Frank answered immediately. His coaster had always been on the back left of his desk. It allowed him to drink even while he was writing of the paper.
     Ted was nervous. His eyes scoured franticly around the desk looking for something that might be out of place. One thing popped out at Ted. It was the pictures of Mr. Frank's wife and daughter. Ted thought this must be it. Ted asked, "Are your pictures out of line, Sir?"
     Mr. Frank looked at the two pictures side-by-side. Currently, the picture of his beautiful wife was on his right side and his daughter on the left. "Ah, That's it." he responded, "I always keep the photo of my lovely wife on my left, not my right, and my beautiful daughter goes on the right. Thank you Ted."
     "No problem," Ted responded, "Shout at me if you need anything else, sir." Ted quickly escaped the sight of Mr. Frank. He was glad he could help, but it was too nerve-racking for him.

    I liked the way you used less common and more interesting words. You used words such as scoured instead of looked and escaped the sight of instead of walked away from.

Are you distracted by technology?

     To answer this plainly, No, I am not distracted to technology. I honestly work better on a computer or iPad than on paper. I find it easier and more efficient to work with others using technology. Technology allows us to be miles apart and be working on the same virtual piece of paper. This can be seen as a huge benefit to collaboration and cooperation. I would even say that technology allows me to stay more focused on what I am working on. I am able to listen to helpful music and look up helpful tips while getting the work done in a timely manner, albeit it does have its drawbacks.      I think that technological distraction results from irresponsibility. I believe the term technology is too broad for this prompt. I believe that the entirety of technology can't be distracting, but I do believe in certain situations it can be distracting. For example, while trying to do homework, some people might feel the need to check their phone every ten seconds because they just posted s

Research Update

     Between our Social Studies and English classes, I have been working on a joint research paper. The topic I chose was Karl Marx relationship with Russian communism. I have found this topic to be very interesting thus far. I think a lot of people get confused about what communism actually is. Communism is a socioeconomic system that is supposed to benefit the proletariat or working class people. This system seems good in theory, but it has its problems. It all starts off with the criticism of Capitalism, the current dominant economic system. They say that the Bourgeois, middle class, are only making the proletariat suffer through the economic system through taking advantage of them.       Communism really boils down to one key economic prospect: the abolition of private property. The communist argument goes that since the Bourgeois own the means of producing goods, The Bourgeois can and are taking advantage of the proletariat. Through this process, the proletariat are becoming more

Final Fantasy XV: A Beautiful Piece of Art

     Over Christmas break, I played many video games. One video game in particular struck me in a new way. This game was Final Fantasy XV . Final Fantasy XV  take place in the fantasy world of Eos, which is split between two countries, Niflheim and Lucis. The game follows Noctis, the prince of Lucis, and his friends as they go on a journey to reclaim their homeland. This has been one of the best games I have played ever. The story is great and it develops the characters really well. Not only that, there is so much to do in Eos. It ranges from have lunch at a cafe to fighting off daemons at night. The game is incredibly diverse and there is so much for the player to do.      One of the things that make this game especially great is its character development. Noctis, the main character, is only in his twenties. The game shows this very clearly as Noctis doesn't have the best judgement in the world. In fact, no character in this game is portrayed to be completely perfect. These flaws
