NOTES AND THOUGHTS ON GATSBY CHAPTER 5

As Gatsby and Daisy met again, after five years, the author sets the mood up by bringing up that it’s raining out side over and over. 

KeyWords: Pouring, draining, trees dripping, muddy, embarrassment, nervousness 

The author sets up the a more of a calm, nervous, kind of mystery/ suspense type of mood as Gatsby and Daisy talked. 

Gatsby was known not to brag about his house and his belongings. But I think the purpose of all these things he has all this in his house they were so he could invite daisy over one day, look at her reactions, and see them through her eyes. Hoping she would like them.

DARK PATTERNS

An example of a dark pattern that i had encountered was when i was on the NFL shop, shopping for a jersey. It took me awhile to find the right jersey and the right size because of all the " Top Selling"/"Few more left" jerseys that were clearly not low on sale because of the number it was. Which is from an important person from the team. I feel like they just want to sell those for the most money and while not sending so much money themselves on expensive material, because to be honest those jerseys looked and feel like cheap material.

I'M IGNITED

Today was a very interesting day for our third period class. We talked about our big questions that have been driving us crazy and i'm going to list a few that have caught my attention and I would be interesting in hearing more about. First one that caught my attention was on from Dr. Preston's 2nd period class, "Why are people superstitious?" by Karla, this really caught my attention because i've thought about this myself and i would like to hear more about it but sadly i am not in the class period so i'll probably use my own time to actually look into that instead.
One question that was from my actual class period was by someone named Guadalupe and she had asked, " How will our actions about our ecosystem today influence the future?" This topic has been talked about by a lot of scientist and they all have their own answers but i would like to hear what she has to say about it because topics about our future no matter what it is, global warming, climate change, our ecosystem, etc. really interest me.
One more that had interested me was a question by a classmate of mine named Juan, he had asked, "Will we ever be able to desalinate and drink ocean water?" Now this is a question i have been asking myself since i was very young, ever since the talk about global warming started to come back up and how glaciers in Antarctica are "melting" and how are we going to be able to get fresh water after that? So i'd like to know what he has came up with and if we could possible do that one day. 

ARGUE THIS

What is syllogism?
 Syllogism takes a lot of thought, it’s a simplest form of an argument.

My big question is, what is the relationship between consciousness and reality?
My major premise would be that there is actually three separate ways to specify ‘consciousness’. There would be THINKING, FEELING, & BEING. My major premise is there is no ‘relationship’ between them but more of how or when the ‘thinking consciousness’ realizes reality etc etc. So in conclusion, there are different ways/ parts to this question that we really have to understand this dimensional ‘relationship’ to really know what is being said which would help in giving your own answer.
